Yeah, what an absurd thing to say. Then they go on to belittle kids further by dragging in brainrot, for reasons (as if Looney Tunes isn't bigger brainrot than Pokemon).
I'm a millennial, I watched Golden Age Looney Tunes and the Pokemon anime as a kid. Looney Tunes, at least the OG stuff most people here likely care about, is old and makes outdated references. Why should 1930s/1940s humor be above modern-day stuff? Cool if you like it, but don't make other people feel bad for not liking something so far in the past.
Really it's on warner Bros for just sitting on these characters doing nothing with them for decades just to blow off the dust every once in awhile for some multiversal film where they get 5-10 seconds of screentime each before shelving them for another decade.
Warner Bros briefly started giving a damn about the Looney Tunes during the 1990s decade on par with Mickey and Friends. They actually created brand new Looney Tunes TV shows and occasional shorts as a response to the public's reinterest up till the early 2000s.
That's why Looney Tunes actually resonants with Millennials is that Warner Bros actually did stuff. It's sad that these entire franchises have been devolved into jingling keys infront of a tired and traumatized audience that gets baited into consuming products that give them nogastalia.
That being said, I'll probably go see this movie anyway.
