After the new movie has been out for a bit past their marketing window or whatever they should revert the main page back to classic SJ and have the portal to the new site be a satellite icon way off to the side

I don’t think there’s a better summary of where feminism is in culture right now than that they removed scenes containing Pepe Le Pew from the film but left the Droogs from A Clockwork Orange in.

Space Jam 2 would be a lot more novel if they didn't already do the same thing with The Lego Movie a few years ago.

The original already ran on full Roger Rabbit Toon Town logic, a loving space ship drilled into the parking lot of a crowded baseball stadium and nobody gave a poo poo. The first movie got away with poo poo like that just fine, did they think modern audiences would find that strange or did they try to update things to keep hip with the kids like that "how do you do" scene from 30 Rock?

Space Jam 2 is a marketing movie just like the first one was. That's a big part of what makes the Clockwork Orange inclusion so weird because you think those things are talked about and then it's clear they had a list checked by some stupid people in high positions and whoops.

Probably. I keep wondering how badly social media stuff is going to date films in the long run, especially as sites come and go with little in the way of preservation. This movie leans hard on the influencer stuff and all I can think of is someone trying to watch space jam 2 in their Amazon™ Selector Cell and wondering about a time when humanity was at its peak gig economy before being prodded for daring to entertain themselves on the dime of Jeff Beliazalos, Lord of Alexas

Ghost Leviathan posted:The Lego movies are at least literally a kid smashing his toys together And they had Star Wars in the first movie even though that's not a Time-Warner IP. It never felt *quite* as bound to the limits of one studio's poo poo, like it's stuff Lego made toys for (I suppose any Marvel stuff is absent but it's hard to notice amidst the general din.) To a certain extent Warner has always been in pursuit of the kind of studio identification Disney has, and sometimes filmmakers were able to do this in fun ways- Looney Tunes and the Batman logo showing up in Gremlins 2, or the use of Superman comics in The Iron Giant. (There's also a bit in The Lost Boys where they're in a video store and you can tell all the displayed films are WB ones because all their tapes used the same trade dress back in the mid-80s.) This, this is trying too hard.

WB is having the most pathetic identity crisis. They so desperately want to have a recognizable brand to build loyalty off of but have absolutely no idea how to do it because they shouldnt be trying to do it at all.

I feel like trying to get that sort of brand identification for a big tent brand is just chasing the impossible, because there is no WB other than "makes movies." Disney got their brand identity by going the other way. They had their family friendly/for children branding set in the public consciousness (for, like, 60 years) then started gobbling everything else up. But they still know better than to try to mix their oil and water (unlike WB, with the Droogs cheering on tweety bird.) Like, there's a reason It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia isn't on Disney+.

It's always amusing when studios just lose their minds like this (see also: Sony's leaked emails). When you get to read what these people are saying back and forth to each other on a daily basis you begin to understand why so many weird projects get greenlit.

Its super weird because they had the most effortless brand ever which was....greenlighting cool movies and an incredibly diverse range of IPs. WB franchises and big tent poles are iconic in their own right. DC, LotR, Matrix, HP, Nolan to name a big few. I dont know why they thought they needed to change anything other than an attempt to replicate the coveted Disney Marvel money printing machine. It does not bode well for stuff like Dune. The studio that greenlit a project like that is gone and does not have the guts to stick with a project like that if it isnt ranking in 1bil immediately. Theyre probably thinking "its gunna be our Star Wars!" the same way they thought the Snyderverse was their ticket to the MCU life. Its so sad. I cant think of a big studio that has put out a larger roster of films I adore than WB. Theyve completely lost their head.

One thing on the top of the list of upsetting things in Space Jam 2 is that there are CGI/costume people who are really proud of all their work bringing these characters to life — for the half a second they each appear on screen.

I've called it corporate senility, you see it sometimes in cases like Konami, Games Workshop and Capcom for a whole when the management is a mix of dysfunctional, out of touch and literally senile that reality can't effectively penetrate, and you get bizarre, unpredictable decisions that seem actively spiteful towards their fans and the public. Especially since a lot of them clearly don't understand what products they actually make and why people like them.
