What's so hard to understand about this that it can't be replicated today?
>slapstick
>everyday items
>word play
>jokes the working man would understand
The technology is better, the artists are cheaper, why doesn't it look as good?
Were the golden years only possible because the artists were willing to depict guns and the occasional blackface?
>>149260998 (OP)The vocal audience has become too overly sensitive to things over time. Nowadays any joke, no matter how harmless or inoffensive, can easily be interpreted as an attack. Whether those claims are genuine or simply for shits and giggles is a different matter, but it still doesn't change the fact that you'll have pointing out these jabs, and other people taking it seriously like an Onion article.
>>149260998 (OP)It's the opposite. They had to do full cel hand-drawn because it was the only way. They could not cut costs any further because there was no replacement.
Innovation often makes work easier and better results, but it makes art in particular far worse because they can rely on making costs cheaper but not getting the same result
For me, these are the main reasons:
-They understood pacing better. Even beyond having a sense of brevity and wit, but a real grasp on how long certain scenes should be cut, where escalation should begin and lead, and the ability to say when certain scenes require quietness or other emotions.
-They felt more inclined to do whatever they felt was entertaining. Today, it's expected that comedy slapstick animation must have TNT, anvils, and the other tropes. Back then there was less expectation to constantly use the stereotypes, because they invented the stereotypes in the first place. There is value in thinking of new premises, jokes, executions, etc. A lot of shorts that their own feeling.
-Characters used to be more dramatic. They would think, fear, envy, be greedy, and therefore touch upon the faults of human nature. There was an internal cognition, that the characters are thinking about stuff, reasoning, or acting on impulse. Often the entertainment was a vehicle for stuff like this.
-Yeah, of course the humor was more politically incorrect. Obviously I'm not saying we need nigger and jap jokes to come back, but there is a fine ingredient in having smoking, alcohol, ladies, guns, violence that actually hurts, etc, that is missing when the formula becomes sanitized
-The sound and music was better. Not much to say beyond that..
>>149260998 (OP)None of you have mentioned the most obvious things. These were 5-8 things played before the main attraction, a full length movie. You are talking about them as though they were interchangeable with modern 22 minute cartoons which are meant to be the full attraction.
Until that is part of your consideration everything you say is null. I will not even offer commentary on whether such a format is fitting for a 22 minute stand online. That fact that this basic thing didn't even occur to any of you to consider it means even discussing this is apparently too fucking high brow of a concept.
>>149261505tl;dr anon is saying a modern looney tunes would work if they were bought to be played before a film, and that cartoons and he are high brow.
>>149260998 (OP)wheres the lore though
and the meme faces
and the female protagonist?

The essence of comedy is having your expectations ripped out from under you
Looney Tunes has been around for almost 100 years
You know all the gags already
Same reason Seinfeld isn’t funny
It established a ton of contemporary sitcom tropes and gags

>>149260998 (OP)Who is the worst Looney Tunes character?
>>149261798>deltarune (chapter 2)Damn, Undertale 2 was old on release
>>149261891I rewatched Duck Dodgers (the first one) recently and laughed
I rewatched Daffy's Piggybank episode, possibly his most famous one, recently and laughed
Why don't I laugh when current Looney happens?
>>149260998 (OP)Parents complained the children copied what they see in cartoons. Think of the children.
>>149261156It's not that bad lil bro
>>149261474Anon most of the people who know about these characters either saw them in shows that were a compellation of the shorts combined, or on DVD.
