idk how anyone can watch looney tunes: back in action and go "yeah bugs and daffy are just good friends :)" like there's no way anything bugs says about daffy is platonic, he just sounds so damn fond in every line
I have no impulse control. I’ve been on a roll with just wanting to mindlessly draw these two. The lineless version was fun but punishing for the hand heh
Even then, I more prefer the one with line art. But here’s both anyway. This was good practice for my lineless style!
So, in case I haven't mentioned recently, Daffy (Duck) is my favorite. Not favorite Looney tunes character, not favorite duck. He is my favorite character ever. I may not write as much about him, but I hold him dear in my heart: He is cute, he is funny, and he has a very special place in my life since I was a little little girl.
However, there is someone who I find so aggressively cute that he can steal Daffy's spotlight in my heart, at least for a moment.
He comes into the scene, and I am like:
LOOK AT HIM HE IS SO CUTE!!
MY TINY ALIEN VILLIAN BABY! HE IS SO ADORABLE AND SO VILLAINOUS
HE IS SO AGRESSIVE YET SO SOFT SPOKEN AND POLITE, AND LOOK AT THAT OUTFIT! HE IS PEAK CHARACTER DESIGN, JUST PERFECT!
...
Yeah, I don't think Daffy would appreciate that Marvin can steal his thunder just by existing.
Back in Action is good baffy angst, I feel like this movie sorta of plays with the formula and how it could affect the characters.
The "Why am I talking to you for?" Is an acknowledgement of lt and how it can be a bit unfair and frustanting for Daffy.
And because Bugs can't break the formula, he can't challenge this statement. Bugs can't be suddenly more vulnerable or reveal his feelings in a more serious manner. But by doing so he kinda loses the argument
We know Bugs cares, we saw it; but Daffy doesn't. And through the whole movie Bugs is trying to get Daffy back and he gets it, while simultaneously getting Daffy to be a hero. So Bugs "wins" there, but loses the other more important argument because he can't get out of character even though he does care
Anyways, whacky of these writers to put these toons in a bit of introspective and suddenly there's a truck full of pain, haha
When I read this I couldn't believe it,,,,, this is so good,,,,, it hurts but I love it cause you capture it perfectly with words,,,
