A day after a horde of Twitter users completely lost their minds over the alleged attractiveness of a cartoon rabbit from a film aimed at children, the director of Space Jam: A New Legacy has released new information about Lola Bunny, the female member of the Tune Squad basketball team, in the original Space jam and its forthcoming sequel. It sounds like filmmaker Malcolm D. Lee and his team spent a lot of energy de-sexualizing the character, but he also revealed that when audiences are introduced to Lola again, she will hang out with the Amazons of WB and DC. Wonder Woman movies. Yes, really.
Entertainment Weekly, which yesterday covered a cover story with the film’s bonkers-sounding plot, withheld some details about their conversation with Lee that focused on Lola Bunny, including the fact that when the audience first met her see in this sequel, it’s going to do. a little psychological investigation with the Amazons of Wonder Woman, presumably in Themiscyra.
“We wanted to meet her with the Amazons and try to find greener pastures for her,” Lee said. “As she says in the film, there is more to her than just being a tune.”
If you’re wondering what’s going on, you may have missed it Space Jam: A New Legacy go a Ready player one-style mishmash featuring many different movie features from Warner Bros. contains in one area called the Warner 3000 “Server verse”. The (disturbed) plot involves LeBron James and his son is sucked into the world by an artificial intelligence that wants to steal from LeBron’s followers on social media. The plot of the first Space jam it was admittedly dumb, but honestly, it sounds completely invisible and essentially an extremely expensive advertisement for HBO Max, where all the properties can be streamed with one push of a button.
Meanwhile, I apologize to all the 30-year-olds out there who are horny for Lola Bunny and consider that character a formative part of their sexual awakening, but Lola is not going to get the same treatment she was in the original film in the sequel. “It’s a children’s movie, why is she in a crop?” Asked Lee after he first saw the first film a few years ago. ‘It’s 2021. It’s important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters. She probably has the most human qualities of the Tunes; she has nothing like a carrot or a lisp or a stutter. Therefore, we reworked many things, not only her appearance, such as making sure she had a suitable length to her shorts and was feminine without being objectified, but gave her a real voice. For us, it was: let’s ground her athletic skills, her leadership skills, and make her just as complete a character as the others. ”
Space Jam: A New Legacy, complete with its reworked version of Lola Bunny, will arrive on HBO Max and in theaters July 16, 2021.
