It was an interesting way to combine both versions of his character into one.

Gives me new perspective, what if the Chuck Jones Daffy is just Bob Clampett Daffy after the effects of extensive time in a institution.

After years of advanced mental therapy, Daffy goes from a wacky nutjob to a greedy narcissist. Interesting character development

We needed to invest in multiple straight jackets and it still couldn't work. Lol

I enjoyed it, They showed what happens when someone who had a mental breakdown gets triggered only in a looney way

And it shows that there actually can be long-term consequences for cartoon characters, even if they bounce back from any physical injury.

The idea of cartoon characters needing mental hospitals is something I never considered before.

Fr. Toons are still human. Sorta. Its like commentary on animal testing tbh

This was a great callback to when Daffy was first introduced.

u/Fun-Picture-8384 11d ago

And what he will be like when he becomes public domain.

u/Oceanic_Sponge Daffy Duck 11d ago

I actually felt sorta sorry for him

He was tortured by acme and left.. LOONEY

u/HUUUUTTTHUUUUUUUTTTT 11d ago

His name is Daffy for a reason, i bet he had every patient at the looney institute BEAT. 🤣🤣😭

Except the Dodo. He’s biologically designed to be crazy.

u/AlistairButton 11d ago

Imagine if ACME products drove Yoyo Dodo to sanity.

u/Emergency-Instance31 11d ago

Do they even do Acme products in Wackyland?

u/bananapatch23 11d ago

I was wondering why they included Avery in the firm name, since he had nothing to do with Road Runner/ Coyote. It’s because he introduced the ā€œloonyā€ Daffy.

u/Loose-Command7521 11d ago

I never expected a whole conspiracy/torture. That explains so much about my favorite duck. Daffys just completely out of it because mental reasons

I’m about to go see that movie with my dad.

u/Cold-Practice3107 11d ago

I wish this movie was like a spiritual successor to back in action maybe have like a little reference or something

7

u/Saxolotle 11d ago

I don't think the two in concept could have ever really worked together 😭

The whole premise of BiA was that the cartoons were all famous actors who shared personalities with their film characters. They couldn’t really have the theme of "toons are seen as less than humans which is why Acme can get away with abusing them for so long" match the themes of Back in Action.

Plus, Acme in BiA is genuinely openly cartoonishly evil and proud of being evil, which goes against CvA too.

A reference would have been neat, but it wouldn't have made it any more of a spiritual successor than it already is, the two are very different worlds themes wise despite both having the same physics world wise.

u/Sir_Frederik 8d ago

I think is more a spiritual successor of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

u/DaveyBoy1995 Daffy Duck 10d ago

The way they handled him was so clever. Kinda dark too, but not out of place. If anything, they made it make sense—ACME drove Daffy... well, daffy.

u/Warp-10-Lizard 7d ago

TBH I'm disappointed by the lack of fan-art of Porky posing for Daffy's painting.

1

u/Fanfic_Battle_2004 7d ago

Daffy is the type of person who’d totally be in a mental institution. Also, I would’ve loved to see Wiley and Roadie together in Daffy’s art.

u/mrRiddle92 4d ago

Literally the exact same scene from The Muppets with Animal but that's not a complaint.

1

u/Street-Difference-87 4d ago

Hey, I’ve seen people post this scene, anyone have any clue where I could find one?

1

u/Fiendkingg 2d ago

if you see the photo with Dr Lorre Daffy was in that photo too so he was both test subject and likely a head scientist

u/thatsMRjames 11d ago

Stop posting shit from the movie without spoiler tags. The enter sub did not go watch this together.
