>duuuuuuude we can't make high quality 7-minute animated shorts anymore because it's too le expensive even though the stuff made 80 years ago is still making money

Was there ever a single entertainment company more incompetent than 21th century Warner Bros?

>>150279611 (OP)
I guess the plan was to make sure nobody else could make money off of them.

It could've been worse. They could've given Looney Tunes the modern Disney treatment but instead they just made Lola retarded and added Tina.

I've always liked this logo. It looks prestigious and stylish.

>the modern Disney treatment
?

>>150279611 (OP)
Warner has never been that great. Look at how Disney threads still get discussed. Warner doesn't get this because they were never that great. That's why this thread is dead.

Warner has never truly nurtured their animated catalog so naturally no matter how iconic they are they have gone notably forgotten. Tom and Jerry are better remembered than Looney Tunes. The future for Warner is obscurity and being acquired by a Big Corpo.

theyre retards

21st century Hasbro is up there for sure, nearly every single one of their IPs is failing, the three most recent transformers films were all bombs, TF One's terrible marketing doomed it. DND went full social justice, for better or for worse, alienating a lot of its players, and that's not even mentioning the gameplay issues with 5e. Magic The Gathering is dividing its players with its over usage of crossovers, to many killing the games identity. Horse show was massive but they failed to keep the momentum going, even after years of popularity, G5 was a complete failure, a lame movie and two shows both equally lame, and finally even toys such as nerf or their several board games are struggling to find their place in a digital age. What's incredible is almost everyone knows DND, Transformers, etc, they have some of the most recognizable brands of all time yet they fail over and over again on almost all fronts.

Did you somehow miss the Discovery buyout? Who am I kidding, you're just talking shit out of your ass.

>>150280730
They own cartoon network and adult swim

>>150280903
They separated. So why even mention that?

>Tom and Jerry are better remembered than Looney Tunes.
Not true, you just like Tom

>>150280489
Retarded Lola is the best Lola

>>150281284
I’m a big Looney Tunes fan and I think that’s true, Tom and Jerry has more global popularity. Being mostly silent characters they’re popular everywhere, while there are some countries where Looney Tunes characters didn’t catch on to the same degree.

The Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies franchise was much more dependent on dialogue than the Disney or MGM cartoons which makes characters like Bugs or Daffy, let alone Foghorn Leghorn, lose more in translation.

(Now I’m wondering if that’s also true of the early, funny, super talky Hanna-Barbera.)

>>150281355
Retarded Lola is worst Lola. Worst than Space Jam 2 Lola.

>>150282584
Well you gotta do something with her besides being "girl". The problem is that Bugs has so many great foils already that it would be hard to have his gf stand out

>>150279715
On top of that they are still making money off Scooby Doo. A minuscule budget nothing of a show from almost 60 years ago.

>>150282809
>Well you gotta do something with her besides being "girl"
No you FUCKING DON'T! This fucking lie has ruined enough media cause even with Hello Nurse who became a CEO at the end of Wakko's Wish, it never fucking ends.

We need more token girls who are just girls. Lots more to fix the damage. Also more girls who are just eyecandy.

>The problem is that Bugs
No. The boyfriend/girlfriend dynamic is a tiny toons thing with Buster and Babs. Bugs is fine with his drag routine. Lola just needs to be eye candy.

>>150282584
>*worse than
nice ESL there

>>150280824
The more annoying thing is that they pulled a Disney and bought up most of their competition. Only to make all of their purchases totally nonviable and killed those franchises.

Kids were way better off when Kenner, Galoob, and Tonka existed on their own before Hasbro absorbed everyone.

>>150282584
Retarded Lola actually fits the whole Looney tunes brand as having something that makes her wacky and funny like everyone else. Her not being tits and ass fapbait pissed off all the furries.

>>150282992
Hello Nurse is a gag character, why can't Lola have a similar role to Dot?

>>150282994
Cope and Seethe

>>150283351
No u

>>150283291
Cause Dot can't have a similar role to Dot anymore. She had to be so neutered in the reboot that they removed the line about her being "cute" from the theme song. Considered too "sexist" by the woke writers.

It never fucking ends.

>>150280493
I like the Saul Bass logo better

sony?

>>150279611 (OP)
It's a one two punch of having talentless activists in charge of the cartoons and the braindead, money grubbing execs use that as an excuse to just kill the entire thing rather than just firing the activists.

>>150281843
Bugs is more iconic than fucking Tom

>>150280824
shouldn't paramount also take some of the blame

>>150280824
Don't forget Power Rangers, they own that now and are bungling it, just content to rely mostly on MMPR when 1) most fans are sick of MMPR shilling now and 2) younger audiences don't have ANY connection to MMPR.

>Owns the greatest catalog of cartoon IPs in the world
Most of those cartoons feature characters that are 80+ years old and that modern kids aren't interested in. What's the point in spending money on this shit if it will never make profit?

No, Looney Tunes failed in Japan whereas Tom and Jerry is huge there. Only Tweety Bird is popular in Japan.

>>150288896
Japan luvs cat hijinks. It is known.

>>150286635
Individually as characters maybe but Tom and Jerry is bigger than LT worldwide, the "silent" nature of it makes it much easier to understand across cultures etc

>>150279611 (OP)
>library of cartoon IPs
Oh no

>>150289225
Looney Tunes shorts (especially Chuck Jones ones) are studied in animation schools more than Tom and Jerry. They have a wider impact on the medium as a whole

>>150288896
Japan is a small country, Looney Tunes' film adaptations are more famous than Tom and jerry's, they had multiple new shows past the 20th century, and Bugs is more recognizable cause his design is more unique. Get fucked Tomfag
