Berserk-O
for Berserk-O in Space Jam: A New Legacy (Better Version)
Suggested by rowenjackson
1. Had Berserk-O Not be Cancelled in Year 1998 he would’ve started as the Main Villain Instead of AL-G Rythem 2. Have a Better Director for the film instead of Malcom D Lee 3. Keep the Designs of Looney Tunes’ 2D Animated with Upgrading into CGI form, & Lola Bunny’s Design in sequel since she looked Uncanny & too much like a Bootleg and Should not Redesign & should stay in her Old Design from the first film and Kath Soucie should reprise her role instead of Zendaya. 4. Should release the film in 2023 to be the True Celebration of Warner Bros 100th Anniversary. 5. Add Michael Jordan to the film like in the first film. 6. Have Daffy Duck be a player again instead of Coach. 7. The Tiny Toons should make a Appearance in the film. 8. LeBron and Bugs reunite the Tunes across the Serververse, each of the worlds that the Tunes will be in of other Warner Bros stuff (such as Mystery Science Theater 3000, Hanna Barbera, Tim Burton's, Animaniacs, Cartoon Network, DIC and Loonatics Unleashed) instead of Mad Max, Austin Powers, Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones, and that Wonder Woman comic. 9. Have Bugs and Lola get married in the end of the movie instead of Bugs Bunny sacrifice himself for the Other Tunes. 10. Add Pepé Le Pew, Penelope Pussycat and Sylvester Jr. Appear in the film as one of the Tune Squad members.
