wild mass guessIn the climax, all hope will be lost as War Machine has scored 0-30, but a squad consisting of Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Godzilla, King Kong, The Monstars, The Harlem Globetrotters, Sub-Zero and Earth’s Greatest Warrior, Charles Barkley will have a Big Damn Heroes moment and score 90 hoops in 2 minutes.wild mass guess

[down] This, Kong’s here because,,, well, Godzilla’s here and Kong was in the trailers, and why not have two Kaiju play basketball together?

Ok. Why Sub-Zero.

All the others (I think, not sure about King Kong) have been involved in basket ball obviously, or a basket ball commercial.

So Subby's the odd man out, unless he has a Basketball themed fatality.

No. We are not moving on to a new topic.

Why Sub-Zero?

Actually, I'd love it if this movie tried to recreate the old Charles Barkley vs. Godzilla commercial. In another universe, that'd be the ad that got a full-length movie instead of the Looney Tunes/Michael Jordan commercials.

At least a comic out of it. tongue

A new spot for the movie dropped. Amongst the many, many characters you can see The Great Gazoo. Another comment points out that you can also spot Dick Dastardly, but I can't see him. If someone finds him, tell me where he is, because he's like my fave cartoon character ever. [lol]

They've gone all in on this one in terms of media cameos.

Huh, Jason Voorhees is here too. So this is the first time in more than a decade that he’s been in a movie.

About the spot, for some reason the sound won't play. Also, all these shots seem to be flooded with harsh blue light.

Just for the sake of it:
Teen Titans Go! is doing a Mystery Science Theater 3000-style watch of the original movie. (Naturally to promoting A New Legacy). Notably, they'll be join by the antagonists of that film, The Nerdlucks (or better known as The MonStars).

Isn't this the first time the Nerdlucks have been in...well, anything since Space Jam, despite the ending implying that they were going to become regulars in the Looney Tunes crew?

Maybe they were considered too generic to carry a show on their own?

And that last scene immediately undermines the idea of them becoming Toons by having them be terrible at it.

The Nerdlucks were better Looney Tunes than Lola could ever hope to be.

I mean, their last shot was of them poorly imitating the main Toons, implicitly demonstrating that they were little more than cheap knockoffs of the real deal. That doesn't seem like a great basis to sell them as independently feasible characters.

I would say it’s because the Nerdlucks are sports movie villains and therefore wouldn’t lead the show by itself but then again Cobra Kai exists, so what do I know.

One possible strike against the movie's box office chances is the Lakers being eliminated from the Playoffs, so the marketing campaign for the movie during the Finals will look very awkward without LeBron being present on the court.

The Looney Tunes and NBA diehards will probably show up. The masses? That's more ambiguous now.

[up]It has the same HBO Max issue as well. Last I checked, that was blamed for Mortal Kombat (2021) seeing a lot of its Box office lose to Demon Slayer.

@The Nerdlucks reappearing:

There’s also the fact that “eccentric but actually competent alien invaders, even if slightly gullible” is already Marvin’s thing.

I always thought the Nerdlucks would’ve worked decently well if they ever wanted to do a cartoon where Marvin has sidekicks that can talk, as apposed to his usual silent Martian bird dudes.
