HBO MAX Teases Looney Tunes Season Two With Ten More Episodes Of Playing It Safe

 

 

For my money, the Space Jam take on the Looney Tunes is looking far more correct than what HBO MAX offers, but nowadays we need to pick apart everything that worked and make it palatable for subjective tastes. Characters like Pepe le Pew and Speedy Gonzales are no longer seen as socially relevant while disarming Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd makes me pine for the days where Pete Browngardt wasn’t producing this shit and instead doing Uncle Grandpa again, but here we are.

On July 8th, HBO MAX delivers us ten new episodes of Looney Tunes Cartoons  featuring the likes of Bugs, Daffy, Charlie Dog and Russian Dog, along with Tweety, Sylvester, Elmer, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, Marvin the Martian, Porky, and Cicero. Judging from the trailer the series tries it’s best to emulate the classic era of the Looney Tunes, but appears to stumble in it’s own way by not pushing any boundaries and instead playing it as safe as you’d expect in our increasingly rubber-ended planet.
