Trivia[]
Despite the fact that Pound is the secondary antagonist, he’s considered to be the film’s Heavy because he opposed the Tune Squad and drove the plot of the story alongside he’s Nerdlucks, which made he’s former boss Swackhammer the true Big Bad and the one behind the plot.
Pound is thought to be the main antagonist of the film, since he has more screen time than Mr. Swackhammer and actually battle the Looney Tunes, but this is not true, as he was a misunderstood alien who got bullied by Mr. Swackhammer.
