* WhoWearsShortShorts: Lola Bunny wears a pair of short gym shorts as part of her original IconicOutfit.
* YellowPurpleContrast: Her IconicOutfit from ''Space Jam'' consists of a yellow tank top and purple [[WhoWearsShortShorts shorts]].

* Another divide of the fandom formed around this change, with some fans [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks wanting the sexier 90's Lola back]], while others defended the new design. However, this conflict became bigger than any of the others involving Lola due to falling into the ongoing narrative of PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad; Lee's statement regarding the decision was met with criticism for setting [[RealWomenDontWearDresses arbitrary standards]] on what counts as a [[NoTrueScotsman "true"]] strong, capable female character ([[DontShootTheMessage even from those who otherwise agreed with it]]), and sparked a debate over whether sex appeal -- or at least [[SecondarySexualCharacteristics feminine characteristics that are considered sexual in nature]] -- necessarily distracts from (or even harms) a female character's strength, worth, and gravitas. Some mainstream pundits weighed in, and for a few days the issue of Lola's breast size actually got coverage in respectable outlets like [[https://slate.com/culture/2021/03/space-jam-2-lola-bunny-redesign-reddit-pepe-le-pew.html Slate]] and [[https://www.newsweek.com/lola-bunnys-desexualized-space-jam-2-redesign-sparks-intense-debate-1574012 Newsweek]].

In ''Space Jam'', Lola is both a confident ActionGirl whose basketball skills impress UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan and a seductive, scantily-clad MsFanservice who is [[AllMenArePerverts lusted after]] by several of the male toons, especially Bugs, who quickly makes her his LoveInterest. The burgeoning UsefulNotes/FurryFandom immediately began arguing about Lola. Some enjoyed her strong, sassy personality; others complained that she was just a sexpot and/or a FlatCharacter who was too ImmuneToSlapstick to fit in with the other Looney Tunes; and many more just got busy drawing RuleThirtyFour art of her.

2021 saw the release of the long-awaited sequel ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'', which brought back the original Lola, but in a modernized, TamerAndChaster form. In [[https://ew.com/movies/space-jam-new-legacy-lola-bunny/ a pre-release interview]], director Malcolm D. Lee said that in the first film, Lola was "very sexualized" and he wanted the ''New Legacy'' version to be "feminine without being objectified". Accordingly, Lola's proportions and uniform were made more modest -- and the internet exploded.

''A New Legacy'' made Lola a stronger character than ever, to the point that her introductory scene has Franchise/WonderWoman anointing her as an Amazon warrior. She also became UsefulNotes/LeBronJames' {{Lancer}} on the Tune Squad, helping him organize the toons into a functioning basketball team while respecting their unique abilities.

Lola's next project gave the blond bunny her biggest makeover yet. In the AnimatedSitcom ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', she's a scatterbrained CloudCuckoolander[=/=]TalkativeLoon who has a crush on Bugs, reversing their relationship in ''Space Jam''. These changes made Lola the object of controversy yet again; fans of the original version disliked her [[TheDitz ditzy]] new personality, while those who welcomed the changes praised this version of Lola for being a full-fledged character rather than a flat one. There were even some viewers who appreciated both Lolas for what they were.

* ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' (2001-2006)

* CousinOliver: Although not an actual kid, she's pretty much considered a "new kid" compared to the older characters of the classic 1930s/1940s-era cartoons, and can sometimes feel shoehorned into the Looney Tunes lineage the same way a Cousin Oliver often is.

* CanonImmigrant: Created for ''Film/SpaceJam'', she eventually became this with analogues in ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'', ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', the OAV ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesRabbitsRun'', ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'', and ''Bugs Bunny Builders''.

* BurgerFool: In some of her appearances in Creator/DCComics' ''ComicBook/LooneyTunes'' title, she works for Machu Pizza, where she specializes in delivering food to some very unusual customers: AliensAndMonsters, FishPeople, gods and other mythological figures, etc.

Lola's next project is the pre-school series ''Bugs Bunny Builders'', which will debut on Creator/HBOMax and Creator/CartoonNetwork's pre-school Creator/{{Cartoonito}} block in 2022. The show has Bugs, Lola and company running a construction company (a la ''WesternAnimation/BobTheBuilder''), and it marks a return to the wacky {{slapstick}} of the classic Looney Tunes era.

* ''Bugs Bunny Builders'' (2021- )

Lola's next project is the pre-school series ''Bugs Bunny Builders'', which will debut in Fall 2021.

* TamerAndChaster: How Lola will be portrayed in ''Space Jam: A New Legacy''.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Her original character in ''Film/SpaceJam'' was a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak and an exaggerated sex symbol who Bugs had to work to get. In ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'', she was an energetic {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who's excruciatingly infatuated by him. ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'' combines both portrayals.

* ActionGirl: In ''Space Jam'', she's a strong, athletic lady who can kick the butt of any toon. ''[[BerserkButton And don't ever call her...doll.]]''

Lola Bunny is the most famous female character in the ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' franchise, as well as half of an OfficialCouple with WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. Although she wasn't created until decades after the shorts' classic era, she's the first new Looney Tune to catch on with the public since WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales, the Tasmanian Devil, and Witch Hazel in TheFifties. Despite (or because of) her popularity, her status as the best-known female character in a male-oriented franchise has made her controversial from the beginning, with both creators and fans often disagreeing on who and what she should be.
