"ELMER FUDD'S FLAWED, CHALLENGED MASCULINITY"
Dude, the guy went toe-to-toe with Batman - BATMAN, for god's sake - and held his own.
People complaining about Elmer not having a gun in the new shorts likely haven't seen them, and likely don't remember any old Elmer shorts aside from Chuck Jones's hunting trilogy.
@Mighty_Mongrel @Toon4Thought @lolzman1523 There have been LT productions both during and past the Golden Age that already put Elmer as more of a bumbling everyman character rather than just a hunter. Stuff like being a camper, a photographer, etc. While his gun is a recognisable prop, he's not characterised by it.
Funny how people seem to forget that Elmer Fudd still uses guns in the modern comics.
Saying Elmer should always have a gun just seems very limiting to his character. Like I said before, there are plenty of cartoons where Elmer wasn’t playing the hunter role, or where he’s carrying a gun.
Warner Bros and Looney Toons strips Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam of rifles in response to US gun violence. Will use scythe instead to chase Bugs Bunny.
People arguing that "Elmer Fudd needs a gun!" sounds suspiciously a lot like boomers trying to validate the thirty guns they've got stashed in their house.
OG Looney Tunes wasn't perfect, y'all. Progress happens unless you want to bring back Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs.
WB: "Elmer Fudd will no longer use a rifle—"
Me: "Makes sense. American kid's cartoons haven't used guns for comedic effect in decades—"
WB: "Instead he will use a scythe."
Me: "Hell yeah."
Okay I was wondering why is Elmer Fudd trending: seems the creators of the new HBO Max Looney Tunes show decided They were not doing Guns in response to the Gun Violence in the US.
The most iconic detail of Elmer & Bugs of the Bugs Hunting Short, remove, by Pearl Clutchers.
Remembering Staff Sergeant 'Elmer' Wright, killed in the first few moments of the landing at Omaha Beach. A member of the St Louis Browns organisation, he had won the ETO World Series in 1943 with the regimental ball team, the Plymouth Yankees. #DDay #ww2 #baseballremembers
