This is such a stupid controversy on so many levels. In the words of Patton Oswalt “You’re going to miss everything cool and die angry.”

I don’t disagree with any of that, except to say that I believe, in theory, that they could be faithfully recreated in new product if they could find somebody who was effectively excellent at impersonating one of the classic directors, from animation style to humour style.

But even that would feel like a cheat because…

In 2019, if you put Bugs Bunny and Axl Rose side by side, I’m disappointed by how far Bugs Bunny has fallen rather than Axl. Fucking twilight zone, man.

Living in a vacuum of other people who never get told “no” or “shut up, that’s fucking stupid,” unless it’s their director or agent must do wonders for one’s social awareness and sense of self worth.
