Source (or at least one of them) Yes. You read that right. This. "Space Jam 2". It's coming... If it's not bad enough that it feels like the film and TV industries have made it a habit to capitalize on nostalgia by cranking out reboots and/or sequels left and right (and I'm not trying to sound like a hypocrite and say those are all are bad, because they're not, but still, these industries are still doing this so I'm just pointing it out), now they're trying to make a buck on creating a sequel to one of the most beloved kids movies of the 90s... ... which also happens to be one of, if not the, worst God damn pieces of media that has ever been associated with Looney Tunes, the NBA, and film in general. And yes, I'm saying that Space Jam is awful, because it is. Bear in mind, this is coming from someone who watched this at a young age. I'm in the same boat as you. But, take off the rose-colored glasses and gather at least ten brain cells inside your head and you'll see it how I see it: a calculated, soulless cash grab with subpar acting, a stupid stupid plot, virtually no sense of storytelling outside hyping up Jordan and any potential want to purchase merchandise, other overall blatant obvious attempts at pandering, and the birth of one of the worst Looney Tunes characters ever in Lola freaking Bunny. And if you're defending this piece of crap, you're the demographic that Warner Brothers is trying to inflict a sequel on because they know you won't object and throw your money all over it. Do not give them your money. Yes, this is basically turning into a rant, but seriously people, this is happening because we let it happen. Space Jam isn't even a hill worth dying on in the first place. I mean, Transformers? Jem & The Holograms? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Cinderella (well technically)? All understandable properties to be upset when they're being messed with. They are or are a part of established franchises that people have come to know and love. But freaking Space Jam? The basketball movie where the gimmick is that an NBA player plays basketball with watered down versions of the Looney Tunes cast (plus one really bad new addition) against a bunch of a cartoon aliens? Really? I'd sooner defend Alvin & The Chipmunks. So yeah, in conclusion, this news sucks. Also, just for kicks, I went through some Twitter feeds to see some reactions to this news and I found this joke Tweet about a supposed scrapped script for this film: For the record, I would actually want to see a version of Space Jam 2 any way similar to this.
