Looney Tunes, for me. When I was growing up through the 90s and 2000s, Looney Tunes was about as large as life itself. Bugs, Daffy, Taz, Sylvester, Marvin the Martian .etc were staples anywhere in culture. However, it felt like some pendulum swung another direction because there’s solemn mention of Looney Tunes in the past 10 years.

And I’m trying to not say that Looney Tunes has faded away, it still has made shows as recent as 2020 that lasted until 2024 and a movie that was this year. But I’m saying that it’s cultural relevance has taken a backseat and it doesn’t help that its parent company, WB, has been treated as nothing more than just an asset to be acquired while those who acquired it, aren’t doing a lot with the name to bring it back to its former level.

It’s kinda like how Tom and Jerry were huge (still are to an extent) but its cultural significance as of late, has largely taken the same backseat where you don’t hear as much from them as you used to.

        Yeah it’s toast. All the movers and shakers left the field in the last year or two because they’ve acknowledged that it’s a giant shell game and it’s hopeless.
