Bugs Bunny isn’t your conventional trickster god - he doesn’t steal or lie; rather he inflicts on us a societal hubris. He traps us in the rules, conventions and expectations we’ve made. Forcing us to go through the niceties of the barbershop or DMV at the times most inconvenient to us. If we didn’t have these rules - if it was twelve thousand years ago and all we had was a snare and a knife, Bugs would be nothing more than a mortal rabbit. But now we have built so much and he has become a god.
bugs bunny would absolutely find SOMETHING about caveman society to exploit
Yeah there was a cartoon from 1959 about this exact topic. Bugs taught Elmer how to make a gun just so that Elmer could shoot himself:
Awfully bold of OP to assume Bugs Bunny was ever mortal.
