Paige Spiranac Isn’t Happy With What They’ve Done to Lola Bunny’s ‘Big Breasts’ in Space Jam 2

The original Space Jam was a big part of people’s childhoods. It was apparently very important, especially the beloved Looney Tunes characters. Now that the new Space Jam movie is coming out, and we’re seeing what new updates on certain characters, everyone is weighing in. The latest to do so is IG golfing sensation Paige Spiranac.

She weighed in on Lola Bunny’s new look.

Via Sun:

Paige said: “The director wanted her to be less sexy and be seen as more strong. So what the director decided to do was take away all of her femininity.

“She has no curves and her outfit is long basketball shorts with compression shorts and a baggy shirt. I took so much offence to this.

“They’re basically insinuating that you can’t be sexy and also strong.

“And to be seen as strong you have to be seen as more masculine. And you can’t show off your body or curves. I hated that. I don’t like what they’re trying to say with this new Lola bunny.

“All women can be strong and sexy and empowered in their own way.

“It’s a cartoon character, like what the f*** are we actually talking about here but taking the boobs off Lola Bunny you are saying you can never be seen that way because women who have large breasts, what do we do about that?

“You look at her in the original movie and she was a f**king badass. She balled out and she looked good.

“When she gave it to Bugs Bunny and said ‘don’t call me babe’ then walked out, that was an empowering moment for three-year-old Paige watching this.”

Director Malcolm D. Lee explained his new approach by saying:

“Lola was very sexualized, like Betty Boop mixed with Jessica Rabbit.

“Lola was not politically correct…. This is a kids’ movie, why is she in a crop top? It just felt unnecessary, but at the same time there’s a long history of that in cartoons.

“This is 2021. It’s important to reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters’”

Space Jam is definitely a kid’s movie, so maybe the new Lola is a bit more appropriate. That being said, why change a good thing?
