HBO Max’s reboot of the Looney Tunes cartoon features iconic character Elmer Fudd but without his classic rifle, the show’s executive producer announced.
According to the series executive producer and showrunner Peter Browngardt, the new series Looney Tunes Cartoons — which has launched on HBO Max — will still feature Elmer Fudd as a characteristically violent character. However, he will now carry a scythe instead of a gun and his attacks will be restricted to using sticks of dynamite, booby traps, and dropping heavy objects on Bugs Bunny.
“We’re not doing guns,” he told The New York Times. “But we can do cartoony violence — TNT, the Acme stuff. All that was kind of grandfathered in.”
In the original series, Elmer Fudd carries a rifle around as he unsuccessfully tries to hunt down rabbits such as Bugs Bunny. Despite the absence of a gun, Browngardt said that they tried to stick as much to the original as possible.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.
"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
We just saw that on Fox News......this BS has long passed insanity! memtb

I don't think he had a rifle. As I remember it, he had a side by side shotgun.

Maybe he had an arsenal. The HBO cops should spread it out on tables and hold a news conference.

Apparently he uses a variety of weapons from an open sighted rifle to a spear to the very forces of nature itself. But his vengeful fury leads to a sorrowful epiphany not (to my knowledge) shared by most rabbit hunters.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
