#putting a humphrey bogart cameo in a cartoon is miles different than whatever is happening in SJ2 they're not comparable

[ducktracy]

OKAY SO YES to answer everybody’s burning question: bugs bunny “dies” but comes back to life yet the moment is all serious and Sad and ridiculous and i’m more sad that he didn’t pull a fast-one on everybody. BUT ANYWAY

lebron james’ son makes a video game about basketball but with some twists, and one of the moves he puts in the game causes a glitch to delete the character whoever does the move. WELL. Lebron ‘n Crew get sucked into the video game and have to play basketball Or Else yadda yadda yadda.

the climax of the game comes and the only way they can win is by someone doing the Move ‘o Death. if they do the move, they’ll win, but that person will be deleted forever/”dead”. lebron volunteers, but as soon as he goes to do it, bugs cuts in and does the move instead

and so we get this.

he literally just starts glitching out and he like. i don’t know how to word it other than he dies. HE DIES! everything goes back to normal and his like. soul burns or something i don’t know he starts glowing and looks like the picture of that guy sitting in the booth

...and then we go back to the real world and bugs meets lebron james and says he can’t die because he’s a cartoon and then invites himself and all of the other toons to lebron’s house and the movie ends. i’m only half joking when i say i wish bugs kissed lebron james on the mouth or something instead of dying that would have been the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO PULL A FAST ONE!!!!!!! it’s just mind boggling to me. but again it’s also a kids movie. and it’s space jam. but YEAH

#also i'm sorry but i don't agree with people saying these cartoons have always been about 'flaunting WB's IP' #putting a humphrey bogart cameo in a cartoon is miles different than whatever is happening in SJ2 they're not comparable #YES the merrie melodies were initially made to advertise sheet music to WB's music library but that got dropped in the late '30s. a celebrit #y caricature doesn't mean WB is promoting their library #if that were true why would the marx bros who appear in the same cartoon be there? they were never affiliated with WB #it's just AHHHHHHHHHHH. humphrey bogart is not an intellectual property he was a person LOL WB's main issue with LT was never 'let's promote #our properties' #BUT. i digress. #long post #space jam spoilers
