Looney Tunes is having a reboot on the new HBO Max Streaming Service.  All the great characters will be present:  Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety & Sylvester, The Road Runner, and of course Elmer Fudd.

But NOW, this scene above...which is iconic...will NOT happen.  Elmer Fudd won't be carrying a gun while 'hunting wabbits' in the new Looney Tunes.

Showrunner Peter Browngardt says Fudd will carry a scythe instead of a gun, but he promises plenty of "cartoony violence" like TNT, anvils, and the classic "ACME stuff".

WOW...
