^That image was posted back on page 12; we've all seen it by now.

And again, that doesn't prove anything conclusively. We don't know when that was drawn; that could be early concept art for all we know. Plus there hasn't been any press retracting or contradicting Cree Summer's tweet from earlier this year that Elmyra isn't going to be on TTL; early press for the show has since confirmed that.

Also why are some people now trying to prove that Montana Max is going to be included? No one ever said he wasn't. That aforementioned image is the first Montana Max anything that we've seen in regards to the new show. We should wait until we hear something official from Warner Bros. before we start making assumptions.

So...does this mean that Elmyra is back in now? Or did Len Kiraly just draw her in there for fun?

Well if she is, we know that Cree Summer won't be voicing her.

Side bar: I thought imagining Elmyra as a high schooler was hard; trying to picture her as a college student is absurd to the point of being laughable. End side bar.

Hey, we could also use Mary Melody, not just Elmyra and Monty.

 

[Silverstar]

Use her for what, exactly? Mary Melody was a blank slate with no personality who only showed up once in a blue moon. She had a funny name, but that was about it. If the producers were to give her a character and actually do something with her, then sure, but otherwise....

Making Buster and Babs into siblings is gonna create a lot of incest jokes and memes. Even with it not being a continuation of the original series, the original series is what fans are gonna think of, and with the subtle romance and the "no relations" lines with those two.

 

[PF9]

I'd like this series to have occasional remakes of episodes from the original series.

Well yeah, the remakes on blue’s clues & you did great remaking episodes from the original series.

Seems to me ether Cree Summers didn't know or had old information. Why did people take her word as fact anyway when we knew all the characters were getting new voice actors anyway?

Probably Political correctness. They probably didn't want Babe to be burdened down with a "love interest" for Buster and wanted her to be own individual. There's a great movement to make women more than just for romance.

But she had one of the littlest of romance plots of any female character I've ever seen. It was barely focused on.
If it is political correctness, they'll probably be hypocritical and have her and/or buster in a gay relationship just to represent the alphabet people despite it meaning that Babs will be in a romance anyway.

It's Summer not Summers, but yeah, until we hear something official from someone who's actually working on the show we can only speculate at this point.

That idea makes no sense. Buster and Babs weren't involved on the original series. That was more in the fandom's head than it was on the screen. If they simply didn't want Babs to be about the ship all they'd have to do is not ship her. There's some other reason for this we don't know yet. But the idea that the reason is political correctness is laughable.

People blame political correctness for everything. Stop blaming it for stuff that has nothing to do with it.

To be fair, there was "Thirteensomething", where they were more explicitly a couple- they even kiss towards the end. But yeah most of the time they were friends/platonic.

I think they were a couple there to fit into the parody. Not because the idea was canon.

 

[flashfunk03]

Apparently, everyone is returning to the reboot. Even Arnold the Pitbull lmao and it's slated to be released later this year which I assume between the months of September-November.

And then it shows up again in the Christmas special and she explicitly calls Buster her "boyfriend".....give up, dude.

A woman can be in a relationship and still be an individual. Anyway, if this was it, they simply wouldn't have had Buster and Babs be together. They wouldn't have gone so far as to make them share DNA.

erin gibson(tiny toons looniversity) why they are twins via gizmodo.com
“They’re fraternal twins, which was not an original plot point. I wanted to dive into a brother/sister relationship that looked really symbiotic and collaborative and supportive, not antagonistic. Seeing two people who are really on the same page, and then how do people who are so close make make new friends? You know, find out who they are by these new relationships—these new college experiences while still having fun and doing the dumbest stuff you’ll ever see on TV, but having story and plot points and character development.”
and no more junior counterparts:
Cash added, “And they look up to the faculty, they’re established Tunes who are like their gods, but then they’re like, ‘Who am I?’ and ‘What’s my voice?’—which is a cool place to develop them as their own characters and not just mini versions of their counterparts.”
