User:SonicFTW/sandbox/De-sexualised Lola Bunny Design from Space Jam: A New Legacy

“Space Jam: A New Legacy” director Malcolm D. Lee and voice actress Zendaya told Entertainment Weekly in a new interview they were surprised by the outrage over redesigning Lola Bunny in order to make the character appear less sexualized. He even told Entertainment Weekly that the sexualization of Lola Bunny in the original Space Jam was “not politically correct” and “unnecessary.” “This is 2021,” Lee said. “It's important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters.” This is arguably one of the worst excuses ever made to dismiss criticism on characters.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Two words. FALSE ADVERTISING: While the director describes this redesign as a 'strong, capable female character', it just looks almost nothing like a strong female and more like a weak and skinny squirrel-like thing, and overall, the director's description for this design is incredibly misleading.
 * 2) *What was Malcolm D Lee thinking by making this decision? He must have gone cuckoo back then.
 * 3) The CGI, while not terrible by any means, can look really off on Lola at times, since she not only falls through the uncanny valley, but looks really uncanny on even a few pieces of official merchandise.
 * 4) Mediocre desexualised character design.

Good Qualities

 * 1) It can be considered 'so bad, it's good', by some fans, considering the fact that it helps to appeal to young children.
