Current Events > The concept of Elmyra is actually brilliant

(+) Yeah! (+)

How do you make a kid version of a dimwitted, gun-wielding hunter who has little regard for the lives of animals? Turn him into a ditzy, overbearing lover of animals who doesn't even realize her affection is literally killing them. Two opposite attitudes; both equally threatening.

Too bad she probably won't be the same in the reboot, if she appears at all

ya. my sister was a real life Elmyra. she would play with pets way too hard. took some time to teacher her you can't dress hamsters up as babies...

Did Elmyra really end up being hated by the fanbase or is that just the internet pulling a Worst. Character. Ever.?

I liked Elmyra until the idiot executives decided to force her upon Pinky & The Brain

I always found Elmyra pretty depressing because she genuinely loved those animals, didnt know she was hurting them, and couldn't understand why they always died or ran away. She was not an Elmer Fudd

I felt bad for buster and babs.

Well, what made it less depressing IMO is that she would so quickly move on to the next animal, because in her eyes they were kind of like toys. It puts an innocent spin on her dangerous behavior, unlike Elmer who just outright wants to shoot Bugs & Daffy lol

I was a grown-ass man before learning Elmyra was the Tiny Toon version of Elmer Fudd.
