In a new series based on the beloved Looney Tunes cartoons, the classic character Elmer Fudd will no longer carry a gun.
The new series Looney Tunes Cartoons, which premiered last week on the streaming service HBO Max, will feature the cartoons characteristic violence using sticks of dynamite, booby traps and the iconic anvils and bank safes dropped onto characters, The New York Times reported last week. However, Peter Browngardt, the series executive producer and showrunner, told the outlet, Were not doing guns. But we can do cartoony violence TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in, Browngardt told the outlet. Elmer Fudd is regularly foiled trying to hunt Bugs Bunny on the show. In the new series, the character will carry a scythe. However, comics artist Johnny Ryan, who worked on the show, noted to the Times that he believes Were going through this wave of anti-bullying, everybody needs to be friends, everybody needs to get along. https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/501503-elmer-fudd-banned-from-having-a-gun-in-looney-tunes-reboot --- ...

comics artist Johnny Ryan if he was the show runner, there would be SOOOOO many complaints "Ryan's oeuvre is generally an attempt to be as shocking and politically incorrect as possible". i own the first volume of his comic prison pit, though that's more just extremely violent and has much less of his offensive humor --- "Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism"- Emma Goldman "Wimmy Wham Wham Wozzle!" -Slurms MacKenzie ...

I mean this is honestly stupid. A scythe is far more gruesome of a kill then a shotgun used for hunting a rabbit. Plus blowing shit up with dynamite is ok? Anyone working on this should be embarrassed by this. Its one thing if he had no weapons, though he wouldn't be a hunter then, but to arbitrarily let him use everything but a gun is just moronic.

It's dumb, especially with Elmer Fudd using a scythe - but if the shorts are still good, they're still good. Enjoy them for the comedic merit they have instead of letting one stupid decision hinder your enjoyment of the whole show.
It's like people who still shit-talk on Titans for casting a black woman as Starfire. It's a decent show, and if you're just gonna shit all over that one decision and let it rule your life, you're gonna miss out in something that is otherwise pretty good. But yeah if the shorts end up being bad, then whatever. And this is a really dumb idea, like how does a scythe factor into hunting? I just think it's more productive to take the shorts you like with you instead of getting anally devastated over one aspect of the series. --- The pretty things are going to hell, they wore it out but they wore it well Now Playing: ACNH, Asdivine Hearts, For the King ...

This sounds like the same type of people that got rid of Miss Bellum.
We felt like Ms. Bellum wasnt quite indicative of the kind of messaging we wanted to be giving out at this time, so we sort of had her move on. And that was a good choice I think on our part. --- You enjoy teaching high schoolers, and I'll enjoy creating my crappy manga. Let's see where we both are in a year.
