* Sylvester's attempts to eat Tweety during the match seem a case of SkewedPriorities, as Sylvester will be enslaved, alongside his fellow Tunes, if they lose. But, what if Sylvester had already resigned himself to his fate? Then of course he wants to eat Tweety! If he's gonna be forced to stay forever at Moron Mountain, he wants to eat Tweety first so at least he can go to his enslavement with satisfaction.

* Michael only avoids having his talent stolen by the Nerdlucks because their attack on the toons happens during the brief period he left the NBA to try baseball (in this universe at least it's implied he was inspired to return to the NBA thanks to the events of the film) so they ignore him as they assumed he was a baseball player. Imagine if they had made a move for the toons even a year earlier at the height of his NBA career, he'd have been the first guy on their list. And while it's possible Bugs could have found another skilled player in his place (presumably one of the guys the Nerdlucks did get in the film is spared as one of them takes Michael's talent instead) Michael Jordan is almost universally agreed to be the best player in the NBA during his time, possibly in all of NBA history. The Monstars would have be nigh unstoppable if one of them had his talent and probably would have won.

* Lola needing to be saved from Pound makes more sense than it seems at first. For one thing, it's established relatively early on that the Monstars can dish out non-comedic injuries when Bang flicks Tweety away and genuinely hurts the canary. Additionally, they manage to put every other member of the Toon Squad in critical condition, even if their states are PlayedForLaughs.

*** It was probably a case of Jordan watching it happen and finally asking himself "How on Earth is that even ''possible?''" Plus the Toons who manipulated him were the Monstars, a group of hostile aliens he knew nothing about, whereas he knew the Looney Tunes from his exposure to them on TV. He may have assumed that only the Monstars, since they're villains, had the power to manipulate Toon bodies like that. Once he saw the medical staff inflating Stan, he realized that ''everyone'' in this universe had the power to manipulate human bodies and asked Bugs and Daffy to confirm the theory.

*** It may be true in real life (I don't know, never met the guy) but in the movie he is portrayed as a nice guy. I'd say that since he sucks in Baseball they don't see any advantage in being friendly to someone whose Baseball career is in a predictable downfall.

And, most disturbingly, Sylvester's obsession with Tweety goes as far as attempting to eat him ''during'' the game that will determine all of their fates. Minus Sylester, they gain some civility with each other due to the common foe, but now that the match is over, does this mean they're going to go right back to attempting to murder one another?
