      Bill Murray always plays himself in movies. He has this funny ongoing joke about him, where he’ll be places you’d never expect because he’s famous. I’m zombieland, he was HIMSELF which it why it was hilarious. In real life, he showed up to a place where construction workers were and just worked with them for no reason. He’s known for just “popping up” places. Movies too. When you watch ghostbusters, he’s so unamused by the situations because it’s literally HIM just popping up in random scenarios, in reali life, and in movies. When you watch most of his movies he has this unamused attitude. One time at a restaurant, he walked up to a woman and apparently ate her fry and said “no one will believe you.” He’s known for randomly being places.

      I've always felt like the space jam worship was from people who only vaguely remembers the movie. It had some good one-off humor and stuff and it had MICHAEL FREAKING JORDAN in his prime, but it always felt like a bunch of cartoonists got locked in a room and told they weren't allowed to get lunch until they finished, so they just quickly improvised a "plot".
      And even as a little girl, the sexualization of female characters made me really uncomfortable.it would have been one thing if it was like "oh she's so pretty! Let's all be nice to her". But there's something weird about watching a bitch of cartoons try to get some hot bunny action that's just bizarre (and not in the good way)

      I think it's because it was the 90s, when a lot of fans were kids, there was a lot of marketing around the movie, it probably got promoted to hell on Cartoon Network. I think most of the bad reviews are objective people saying, "It may be nostalgic, but the movie is still awful..."

      Not being an American, I lost the original domestic reception, but the history I have read is as follows: it was fairly succesful with the main target public, children, and it revitalized the Loony Tunes before theneyes of a generation more familiar with the Tiny Toonies even if it was not the hit the partnership of Jordan and Bugs would make one think it could be. However, as the '90s gave way to the 2000s, said children became cynical teenagers and young adults, and the whole social climate changed, too. The people who had the most reason to remember the movie fondly started to see it for the exercise in commercialism and opportunism it (in part) was. More recently, the nostalgia for the sweet '90s of their childhood and early adolescence (i.e. the yearning for a simpler and arguably less awful time) did its work, and Space Jam started to be seen as an enjoyable artificial of its time. Probably not iconic enough to deserve a sequel or something like, but good fun nevertheless.

      That’s why the original Space Jam works whereas the new one doesn’t. Space Jam 1 played up the absurdity of situations and gave stupid, looney tunes styled solutions to them like pumping a guy with air after he got flattened, whereas Space Jam 2 is just references to other movies and shows. It’s not the Looney Tunes, it’s some executives trying to make a quick buck with the Looney Tunes

    The Loony Toons were super popular when Space Jam came out, so everyone was excited to go on adventure with them and America's most famous athlete at the time. Not to mention all the cool 90's music.
    Space jam 2 feels solely like a cash grab, even if the 1st one was too. But it was also new and exciting within the context of the 90's.

    The reason the first Space Jam is beloved, despite its countless flaws, IMO, is that it came out at the perfect time, right at the height of the NBA and MJ's popularity with him coming back from retirement and having the best NBA season of all time, at a time when even uninterested sports fans loved to watch MJ, Shaq, Barkley and countless other players dominate. Space Jam 2 has LeBron past his prime, after his worst playoff run in his career, in an era with millions of disillusioned basketball fans. I don't think there will be any sense of nostalgia for Space Jam 2 twenty years from now.

      @@ca20mn He means that they had planned to do a sequel years ago with Kobe, when he was the number one guy in the league. Pre-Lebron. I don't think Lebron is as liked as either Kobe or MJ especially internationally either which doesn't help.

      And the scenes with Larry Bird, Muggsy Bogues, Charles Barkley? They were actually memorable. Charles being asked about his "ability to perform," Bill Murray telling MJ that "Larry's not white; Larry's clear." And Muggsy asking the psychiatrist if he thought Muggsy lost his talent because he disrespected his mama.
      Nneka Ogwumike and Diana Taurasi are AWESOME, but we didn't even get to see their personalities. The closest we got was when Diana Taurasi trash talked like she does IRL and almost killed Lola like she wants to do to rookies IRL. ("There's something about playing with rookies... you just wanna f*** with them!" - Diana Taurasi to Sue Bird)

    Space Jam 2 heavily reminds me of the worst TH-cam rewind videos. It’s like Warner Bros just took every successful media they had the rights to and mashed them into one very confusing storyline that mostly skips around but somehow had a happy ending.
