Just as the Tunes begin to think they got have the upperhand upper hand against the Nerdlucks, to see them these tiny little bug-eyed aliens transform into giants hulking basketball monoliths, and loose their leverage against them.all that confidence flies right out the window.



* The Mon-Stars ''destroying'' the Tunes in the second half of the game. When Jordan calls for a time out, a lot of the Tunes are in bad condition, ranging from having a defibrillator used on Taz to Tweety resting in what looks like an iron lung. Logically, this would scar them for life, so seeing them unscarred at the end of the movie is rather disturbing.
** Even more disturbing is the fact that it contrasts to whenever this sort of thing would happen in the cartoons, which would generally be PlayedForLaughs, so in those cases, the character later appearing unscarred would be expected.
** Probably some of the worst are what happens to Wile E. Coyote, Tweety, Elmer Fudd, and Foghorn Leghorn. Wile E. is completely casted up and holding up a sign reading “extreme pain”- clearly this is worse than any time he’s ever gone after the Road Runner- Tweety is in an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_lung iron lung]], Elmer is lying on the floor having a breakdown in a straight jacket mumbling "The Monstars" over and over again, and poor Foghorn has literally been turned into a roast turkey. Even Granny (who was a cheerleader and not even playing) ends up in a wheelchair and a neck brace while she still shakes her pom-poms. Music/FryderykChopin's "Funeral March" playing during this scene doesn't help either.
