I concur!

*roffles* The concept of Zadavia using a word like 'blargh' is so ridiculous. I keep trying to imagine her saying that with her accent and usual stoicism, and start laughing all over again each time.

Bodacious? Now there's a term I haven't heard in a while. ;)

Cheri · Anthros

Well, the whole episode was rather retro wasn't it? So it called for retro terms. *giggles*

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

'Bodacious' is one of my favourite terms! Tee hee!

zadavias_spirit · Out of This World

"Blargh, I'm dead"

Pictures Zadavia saying blargh.

HAhAhAhAhAHAHAHAHAH

Sigh, you guys make me laugh. I'm sooo using "blargh" and "bodacious" from now on!

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

I'm going to use 'blargh' and 'excellent' a lot too. XD

Cheri · Anthros

I use old lingo and 'net lingo all the time.

Blargh, I guess my l33t isn't as indescernable as others. Oh well, it's still fun to type XD

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

Well, it did take me a while to decode it. XD But that's just 'cause I'm so geeky. Or maybe that's because I'm surrounded by nerds. -shakes fist at nerdy seventh-grade boys-

Argh, I suck... i can only read half of it, then it whooshes over my head! *watches l33t whoosh over her head* Much like deadlines, huh?

Blargh! I cannot see Zadavia saying that! XD

Blargh!

OMG! So much pie!

And now for something completely different...

Lola just fails at life. Simple as that.

If you ask me, Lola represents what Looney Toons has become in the past fifteen years or so. It's become a crass venue for merchandise, just like Lola herself. (and maybe a somewhat terrifying fetish. And that unfortunately especially applies to Lola.) Don't believe me? Lola has maybe four minutes of actual screen time in a full-length film, and yet they released so much stinkin' crap with her heavily revised design on it. *

Martiangirl summed up my feelings well on a certain post of her's on IMDb. I, however, believe to understand why she's as popular as she is. It's because she has enough of the semblance of a "strong, independent" babe to be P.C, and yet she's completely non-threatening at the same time because she's got no real identity of her own, no thoughts or feelings that impact the so-called story in an important way. Girls crap their pants at how "Totally kewl" she is while boys simply get to drool at her. Bottom line, any character Lola has is totally in the fan fic writers and fan artists' own heads.

Okay, seriously done ranting. I'll just sit here and wait for potential flames.

*Seriously, look at this picture and compare how she looks in the film versus the merchandise. It's just plain insane.

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

I SEE CARTOOOOOONS. </stupidity>

...OMG IT BE ANNA -glomp- </silliness>

I've seen two sides of the LT fanbase: Honey Bunny supporters and Lola Bunny supporters. And it's either 'HONEY BUNNY IS BETTER LOLA IS A (bleep)' or 'LOLA IS SO MUCH COOLER, HONEY IS A (bleep again)'. o_o So...which one?

Jessie, sweetie, I missed you too! Thanks!

I say neither side is "the one". Why? Because both Honey Bunny supporters and Lola Bunny supporters are incredibly deluded, as there is no actual, meaningful relationship between either of them and Bugs Bunny. All either of them are is merchandise fodder and royal arm candy, with no thoughts or feelings of their own.

(scoffs) At least Disney is gutsy enough to give their girls screen time and actual personalities.

Skifox · Frelengian

I've never had an issue with Lola the character or the role she played in Space Jam, but I am bothered by how WB handled her outside that context, using her for pretty blatant fanservice. She was a cash-cow, one that the corporate money-mongers at WB didn't hesitate to milk for all she was worth.

It's all about the bottom line these days, unfortunately. hmm

Anna · Anthros

Whoops, I did it again. I really need to make sure I sign in when I look at this board.

the_oddity · O HAI THAR

So Honey and Lola are fakes? -flops-

That true, but as a born-again cartoon fan and girl myself, I do kind of have a problem with it. For example, Lola's catch-phrase, "Don't ever call me doll," aside from being kinda lame, is a little ironic to me. She says not to call her doll, and yet she's nothing but a doll anyway.

Anna · Anthros

the_oddity wrote:

Not fakes; they're just both so lacking in personal identity, they're practically the same girl.

Crossfire · Frelengian

Well, I see that as one good reason for Lexi both to exist, and to get together with Ace (Anti-shippers groan). I know right now that no-one can deny that Lexi has a personality, which apparently gives her an edge over females like Lola, and she hasn`t been simply thrown in to serve as Ace`s romantic interest and royal arm candy (maybe not at all, if the series` sparse selection of hints is any indication).

I see it as a possible way of making amends for Lola, although she doesn`t really bug me too much personally, and maybe if Ace/Lexi happend, it could be a way of making up for what (little) happened between Bugs and Lola. Well, that`s my

for ya.

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

Well I must congradulate on WB for giving Lexi some identification and personality in her character. Otherwise, where would we get our crazy fan fic ideas from.

But the thing I find silly is when she wanted to try out for the basketball team, she had a go and said "Don't call me doll", she left the building. WHAT!? As a Looney Tune fan, I would easily fall for their films like Space Jam and Looney Tunes- Back in Action. But as a critical person on performance and the way other people act, I have to critisise on that particular part.

Lumosnight · Loonatic

I don't know about you guys, but I don't think she said 'Don't call me doll' for nothing.

In 'Space Jam', when Bugs calls her doll, she doesn't go into a hysterical frenzy and accuse him of being sexist. She calmly defeats him in a two-on-two basketball match and then tells him (still maintaining her sexiness) 'Don't ever call me doll'. This way she had proven her point that she's not some average bimbo, but is also capable of 'dipmlomatically' proving the others wrong.

And how much relevance does that really have? She has even less screen time and relevance to the story than your average bimbo.

I think Jerome K.Moore sums her up pretty well here. And he's not speaking as a fan, but as a guy who's actually been in the battle lines, so to speak.

"Lola Bunny was not well-liked by those within the Industry, Malunis. Because she was a direct invention of Marketing, she never garnered respect as a character among the animators, and purist fans. She was an obvious commercial ploy to lure a target audience, whether it be young girls, or lustful adolescent boys, and she never earned her "stripes," standing alongside the legendary characters without any history of her own. Outside of her forced relationship with an out-of-character Bugs Bunny, Lola had a politically-correct, under-developed personality, and little else, besides a "sexy" body. Jessica Rabbit was more interesting.

As a film, SPACEJAM also suffers its revilers, since it, too, was produced by WB Marketing with the sole purpose of revitalizing the sagging sales of Looney Tunes merchandise. Story should always be the engine that drives film creation. Commerce should be secondary. The reality is that it's still a business, and often the tail wags the dog. Sad reality.

So, you won't find very much Lola Bunny stuff out there for the forseeable future, except as fan art."

So...the LT purists that are against LU, but support Lola and hate Honey are hypocrites, then. X3

I have to agree with Mr. Moore here - she didn't grow into Looney Toons fans' hearts.... she was a little too generalised, without her own full personality. With Lexi, on the other hand, we know what are her weaknesses, her insecurities and what she enjoys. We can sympathise more with her.

You got it! No matter how much the haters hate, Lexi could likely always be the more interesting, developed character.

Crossfire · Frelengian

So, I`m sure we can agree that one godo thing came out of Lola`s creation: She inspired a female that we DO recognise as a developed character in her own right, and cherish along with the others. A case of overshadowing Lola, wouldn`t you say?

Lumosnight · Loonatic

Well, it's natural that the child overshadows the mother (Lexi's the child, Lola's the mother). Otherwise there wouldn't be evolution. wink

For some reason, macros are so much funnier with poor grammer. Try to say what Lexi is on the picture with a high pitched voice. You'll laugh yourself silly.
