I was never exposed to Lola Bunny, could anyone explain the hate?

[up]Did the comics you read use Lola and Taz in a Beauty And The Beast pastiche? If so, we read the same comics, and I didn't find Lola particularly amusing in any of them.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

[up][up] Why didn't they use comic lola? because you're pretty much the only person on this thread who dislikes the new lola. Not many people knew of the comics, and the Lola from Space J Am was almost unanimously hated

Maybe they tested that version of Lola with a sample audience and found they didn't respond positively, whereas the sample audience liked the newer version.

There. Simple answer according to entertainment business basics.

[up]...But focus-grouping something and changing it based on that is usually considered a bad thing by most fans of works. It's often discribed as Executive Meddling at it's absolute worst.

So that answer isn't going to placate anyone.

[up] Then what's the purpose of focus groups at all then?

[up][up]Same purpose as airing episodes out of order in unnoticable timeslots. It's just there to piss fans off.

[up][up] Eh? Really, fans outnumbering Lola haters?

Never heard about it.

Are sure you're not a troll?

Whatever the reason is, the fact is still they didn't use that Lola, and what's done is done, so LIVE WITH IT AND MOVE ON.

[up][up] They already have Tina Russo for that kind of character, the child audience is too young to have grown up with Space Jam, and like you should have seen during this thread if you weren't so busy parroting your own views and doing nothing else, the comics have too little of a base audience for the executives and writers to care.

^^^ Or you could just realize that it's a lost cause and stop being so damn obsessive about the old Lola supposedly being superior.

I didn't hate her in SJ, for the record, I just didn't think she really added anything other than a token romantic interest and a nod to "GRRRRRL POWAH!".

I actually think retconning earlier versions of the characters wouldn't be a bad idea! This show wants to try different things, right? Bringing back the older versions would not only be interesting since it never happened in the Looney Tunes line-up before, but also comedically ironic!

[up][up]It means everything. Some characters that could never support an entire show or even an entire episode still work really well as side characters.

[up] I'm not 100% sure what you're saying. "They want to do things different? They should make it the same as the old version, no one else has done that before!"

No no. Putting two versions of the same character in the same scene is something that hasn't been done to the Looney Tunes before!

that can't work because of the way Bugs reacted to her behavior in pas episodes

Because continuity has always been such an important point of Looney Tunes.
