I dont get it, am I supposed to have a deep understanding of 19th century opera before I watch a 7 minute short about a cartoon rabbit?
>Imagine zoomers discovering opera
>>220297262It was 1950s. Americans were a lot more white back then so even kids knew about Opera
>>220297321I was born in the 70's and I don't care about opera. You're a pretentious faggot who belongs on reddit. Now go ahead and give me a seething (You)
>>220297262No all you have to know is that the opera they're making fun of was Adolf Hitler's favorite.
Cartoons used to be for adults.
>>220297323>he fell for the far-right propaganda about White America
>>220297364based writers dabbing on the faggot that gave jews the 6 gorillion excuse and made nationalism a taboo subject in white countries
>>220297350You live in China lol
>>220297321>>220297262I'm a zoomer and I attend operas. Thank you for your attention.
>>220297262Looney Tunes was for adults as much as it was for kids, they'd originally play at the top of feature films. Kids would love it because it's silly, adults would for the same reason but also because the idea of bugs and Elmer being the leads of a Wagnerian opera is a great bitWagner and opera in general was also still relatively part of the zeitgeist. People's grandparents would've been old enough to remember whenever it came over to the states, it'd play on the radio and people would actually listen. They came into the short with all the context you're missing zoom zoom
>>220297323I'm Indian and I love opera and these cartoons.
>>220297262youre supposed to develop an interest in opera because the cartoon rabbit is funny.
Why did Bugs Bunny always dress up like a girl?
>>220297262No, you just need to have listened to the Ring Cycle and Tannhauser. It's really not that difficult. Just five days out of your life.
>>220297937I'm saving that, anon.Thanks for the pic.
>>220297465>he fell for the far left propaganda about Black "people"
>>220298184up until like 10-15 years ago, men crossdressing was a timeless joke. absolutely hilarious in the right context. now it's considered political or gay or humiliation rituals or something. used to be just good clean fun "a MAN? in WOMANS CLOTHES? how absurd!!"
If you're an adult, then yeah you should have a passing understanding of 19th century opera just through basic cultural literacy. If you're a child, then firstly get off this board, and secondly this cartoon is meant to help you learn that basic cultural literacy.
>>220298184Because it was absurd and shocking. Shock humor like Charlie Kirk memes. The idea that a man would dress up as a girl was so shocking and hilarious that youd be laughing for years.
>>220298362>Tannhauseri thought parsifal was considered to be better
>>220297350UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNC
>>220299525I learned an incredible amount about American/western culture as a child from watching these. Off the top of my head:Vaudeville The civil warWw2Appalachian stereotypes Southern stereotypes40s actors like Bogart and Peter LorreWilliam TellJekyll and HydeFrankensteinDraculaRobin HoodThe gold rushThere’s probably a lot more
>>220299760it's kinda weird how so much of that stuff is utterly unknown to zoomers
>>220299799Many of them wear their retardation as a badge of honor, sad
>>220299593It's not Parsifal's music that's used in What's Opera, Doc?
>>220297262Look at it this way, you're exposed to 19th century opera by watching this 7-minute cartoon.>>220298092No you're not. If you were, you wouldn't admit to it like that.
>>220299593Parsifal IS better. It's the peak of western music.
>>220299760well said.also his sister that filled in for him sometimes was very attractive, though you never see them on screen at the same time
>>220297262It's just supposed to be funny, the opera is a bonus, was like 7 yeas old watching this and thinking it was funny without knowing shit about Siegfried or whatever.
>>220297262>The emotions that are stirred by the cinematic realization of Tolkien’s rambling story are a faint echo of what would be felt, were The Ring to be performed as Wagner intended, with every single stage direction realistically obeyed. This would be the film to end all films, the Gotterdammerung of our modern era, in which Wagner’s moral would be apparent even to the unmusical. And almost certainly it would be banned.
>>220297465What's "the far-right propaganda"?That America used to be far more White? Because that's a provable, factually-correct point.

Where can I download all the looney tunes shortsSupposedly the golden collection only has half of them
>>220297262In 2026 “kill the wabbit” would be “kill the faggot” and Emer Fudd would be an evil MAGA supporting DRUMPF lover in a red hat while bugs bunny is a vulnerable LGBT person in drag. That is how I would remake this cartoon for the Gen Alpha audiences - inlclude faggotry and make Donald DRUMP involved somehow >Kill the faggor! kill the faggot!
>>220298184Bugs bunny was faggot propaganda and it’s why I have a hatred of bugs bunny. It tells kids it okay to wear women’s clothing when really you should be beaten if you are wearing women’s clothing or identify as anything except your birth gender. Faggots should be killed
>>220297262NORTH WINDS BLOWSOUTH WINDS BLOW
>>220298152>youre supposed to become a tranny because the cartoon rabbit is dressed like a woman
>>220301277
>>220297262it's supposed to be entertaining and relatable enough for kids to enjoy it without understanding the historical context, thus introducing a new audience to a classic work of art
>>220301360>>220301277whenever someone is this vehement in their hatred of faggotry, I automatically suspect repressed homosexuality.For instance, pests are instinctually disgusting. If I'm discussing eradicating vermin or insects in or around a home, office, etc., it's pretty dispassionate and goal-oriented. If someone starts getting super emotional and adamant about eliminating something we all already agree is undesirable, it's safe to assume they have some personal trauma or connection to the topic.>inb4 n-n-no you>inb4 libshit talking points!I'm just saying. Few X-haters are actually closet X-lovers. But you should be able to articulate removing something undesirable in matter-of-fact terms.
>>220302188Those posts seemed perfectly "matter-of-fact" to me.

>>220302188Okay so it’s “Kill the faggot” instead of “kill the rabbit” and it makes fun of Bugs Bunny’s crossdressing sensibilities by having the cartoon be about a troon being chased by MAGA folk. It’s a parody of but bunny and of modern culture in general. What about that confuses you?
>>220299760I have such a vague conception of many of those things, because basically my entire basis of knowledge was stuff like loony tunes and vague references in media
