Why was Marvin the Martian, one of the most popular Looney Tunes characters, kept off the team and away from the story in Space Jam 2? At least Pepe le Pew was intentionally kept out of the movie entirely, but Marvin is just thrown in as a brief cameo as if he's not one of the main Looney Tunes. It's especially jarring since Bugs' whole motivation in the movie is "He misses the gang and sets off to get everyone back together."
>>150160927He didn't even play in the first film and was only the referee.
>>150160927I find it weird how there's like three theatrical Looney Tunes films and Marvin barely plays a role in any of them. I was expecting The Day the Earth Blew Up to at least reference or mention him.>>150162231It was a clever detail to make him referee since he's both an alien and a toon and therefore neutral, but other than that he doesn't really do anything
>>150162496*I meant to say theatrical films with sci-fi space themes, to be more specific.
>>150162231At least he was involved. Daffy went from player to manager in SJ2, so it's possible Marvin would've been made a player this time around - And judging by various posters and merchandise, it seems that's what they planned on... and then just didn't for some reason.
>>150162968He had a bunch of merchandise, clothing, a statue, a hallmark ornament, a toy mech and A Funko Pop
>>150160927I mean, why werw Gossamer and fucking Granny in the main Team?
>>150162968>>150164524>all that setup just to not use himthat really is weird. did someone just hate him?
>>150164650Granny makes sense, but yeah, Gossamer's a weird choice... I guess he's gotten more popular in recent years? It's still odd to have him there while Marvin and Pepe are absent, though.
>>150164750It's weird that they apparently planned to have him be on the team only to cut him almost completely from the movie. Marvin is a fan favorite like Taz, he was the main villain in the Duck Dodgers show, and he was in one of the most iconic Looney Tunes of all time (Duck Dodgers in The 23rd 1/2th Century). And again, Bugs' entire motivation in the movie is to get all the Tunes back together. Why would he leave one out?

>>150160927>Marvin the Martian, one of the most popular Looney Tunes charactersNigga, what? If we did this Family Feud style and asked 100 people to name a Looney Tunes character, Marvin the Martian wouldn't even be on the fucking board. Steve Harvey would be staring at your dumb ass while your dumb ass family was clappin' in the background goin' 'Good answer! Good answer!'
>>150167573How many would you say are above him?
