For the longest time I thought this just a joke floating around the web. Apparently, this was no joke.  |

I don’t know if they can manage the 2020s setting. The 90s is what made Space Jam, basically.

Again, a studio that doesn’t understand what made “Space Jam” such a hit.
Michael Jordan was on fire at that time, it was the 1990s. He was the Babe Ruth of Basketball. He was globally renowned. The 3-peat and then the USA Dream Team. Air Jordan etc... even people who didn’t watch basketball knew Jordan.
In the 1990s, the Looney Tunes were huge. Tazmanian Devil was on tshirts, they just hit a pop culture revival after “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” etc... it was a perfect pop culture explosion with Bill “Ghostbusting” Murray and even Larry Bird.
LeBron isn’t MJ, heck, he’s not even Kobe. Other than the revival series on HBO Max, the Looney Tunes aren’t popular among kids. Most 10 year olds don’t know the Looney Tunes or care.
Jordan’s games averaged 20-40 million viewers in the playoffs. NBA games today with LeBron are LUCKY to get 2-4 million viewers ... maybe 5 million- 10 if it’s the NBA finals and it’s a close match up.
Plus, it’s 90s nostalgia that make people still like Space Jam today. Jordan’s shoes outsell ALL NBA players shoes combined in 2020. And he’s been retired for 20 years.

I really wish this wasn’t a thing. There is no doubt this is just gonna be a cash grab in the end. I mean the first one was too, but at least it had heart too it. I agree LBJ sucks he is no MJ. He may have done some good things here and there, but in reality he’s still a shitty person. I can’t support this movie knowing he’s in it.
Also I just don’t think Looney Tunes has that much of an impact on kids today like it did back then.

"Also I just don’t think Looney Tunes has that much of an impact on kids today like it did back then." I used to watch the reruns all the time as a kid during the 90s, I don't think they really get shown nowadays, so a lot of kids probably dunno know much about them.

I'm sure it won't be a bad movie even though it's unnecessary and coming out too late after the first film.
