NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
OK, now that I have THAT out of my system, it’s not ALWAYS a bad thing. What I HATE more than anything is when they take something that was good quality and dumb it down. Take the Looney Tunes, for example…those I can still watch today, they were clever, full of humor that I can still appreciate as an adult. Now the reason I use this as an example is it was essentially remade twice, one time it was done well, another it wasn’t.
First off, the Tiny Toon Adventures. Here it wasn’t as much a remake as an update, with new characters who had similarities to old characters. But even though it wasn’t as good as Looney Tunes (which would be a pretty hard thing to accomplish), it was clever, funny, full of humor that adults could appreciate.
But Baby Looney Tunes? I basically think there should be an automatic death penalty for ANYONE who thinks it’s a good idea to take iconic characters and make a show about those characters when they were babies. A Pup Named Scooby Doo is this same category of EVIL. And I think we should be able to first torture the creators before putting them to death, IF their baby characters speak in baby talk. You know what? My kid NEVER spoke in baby talk….you know why? Because we NEVER TALKED TO HIM LIKE HE WAS A MORON! Baby talk is NOT HOW BABIES TALK. It is how condescending adults teach their kids to speak because they fucking think it’s “cute”. Well, goddamnit it’s not cute, and we should NOT have to be subjected to our most beloved pop culture icons speaking like retarded chimps because someone thought it would be cute to rape our memories and contrive a premise whereby everyone on a beloved show somehow knew each other and held the same roles when they were babies. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about the cynicism of the people who make a buck off this shit.
