\nWhat’s really sad about the furor over Lola Bunny being redesigned for Space Jam 2 is that she was literally just there to be “sexy”, and given basketball skills in a shallow attempt to mask it as “girl power”. That’s all she’s remembered for, and if you take that away, there’s not much else to her in the original film.
Subsequently, the way you see a lot of guys talk about her redesign, it’s pretty clear that being “hot” is the only worth she had to them, to the point where the character means so little to them that she might as well not even be there.
Like, heaven forbid she be a character, and not just a stack of meat. If you’re really that upset that they flattened a cartoon rabbit’s chest, I really just don’t even know what to think about you.
I assumed Lola Bunny had basketball skills for the same reason any other Loony Toons character did, namely that the entire premise of the movie is “what if Loony Toons cartoon characters had basketball skills and played basketball with Michael Jordan”.
I mean if you’re thinking about the role of “a NOT actively sexualized girl Bugs equivalent from the 90s” the obvious point of comparison is Babs Bunny
They got the character better as Dot Warner, though
