    This show would have been awesome if they have a decent writing and such but they missed and it become a wasted potential. Heck, the fanfics and the fanart (or redesign) makes it 10 times better. It was a decent show and guilty pleasure for me. I don't get what's with the hate, even the company itself. I would rather watch Loonatics than Teen Titans Go garbage that have been aired for freaking 9 years. Yeah, I like to watch the show because of the main characters itself especially on Rev and Tech.

    I need you to understand just how genuienly I adore you. It is so hard to be someone who loves this series, not just as someone who discovered it online after hearing about its reputation, but as someone who saw an episode being aired on cable, got interested, and THEN fell in love. Your acknowledgement of both what is good hut what is crud is solid. And as soon as it became clear that Rev was your fav, even before you got into his profile, I knew I could trust you. Just, I need you to fully realize what dealitful work you are doing. This is so good. 😊

    There were only three things about this show that I did hate. Obviously the pre-production trailer. The theme song for the second season, and the fact that they made Pepe le Pew’s character human. That bit made no sense for me.

      Well after a few centuries in a world full of humans and anthro characters, there could definitely be humans with anthro ancestry and vice versa. I'm not fully against the idea, but the show should've shown more of that in the world. Maybe have Lexi's parents be a human guy and a bunny girl, guarantee a lot of Lola fans would've been seen with that pairing.

    It's telling how much of a fan favorite the Rev family episode is when Rip is the character that most fanfics use whenever they want to add an additional member to the team (or they add a female OC so Lexi isn't the only girl on the team).

    As a former fan of Loonatics Unleashed, there was untapped potential with certain storylines but unfortunately was never expanded upon. That's why some fan fictions written for this shoe are a lot better than the actual show itself.

  • @jcs5347
    @jcs5347 2 роки тому +21

    something i've been thinking about is how the episode where Ace is called 'the greatest hero' in a way more inline with actual text of the show and Tech being always more useful.
    Say the guy had only heard about the Loonatics and knows that Ace is their leader so he assumes Ace is the most powerful. However, when he comes to earth either he hears about Tech being more useful from locals or sees the group in battle and learns Tech being both more useful to the team and more powerful. So he tells the Loonatics about this, maybe even act shocked that they treat Ace with such revernance. how they go with this can be different; if it's a one episode plot it could be Tech gaining an ego or putting a lot of pressure on himself and having to learn to rely on the others more. Or if it went into a more serialised direction it could have Ace realise that he isn't that great a leader and make him want to prove himself, maybe even learn to use his powers more in battle rather than just martial arts, it could end with him learning he doesn't need to be more expstional than the group and he becomes closure to the team and work better alongside them, maybe even question why they need a formal leader they're like five people not an army.

    A few things:
    There were 2 other Looney Tunes characters beforehand. Both were humans:
    The first-star character of the Looney Tunes shorts was Bosko in 1930, followed by another character called Buddy in 1933 and then Beans the Cat (for a brief time from 1935 to 1936).
    Porky became the first major star character, then it was Daffy and nowadays, it's Bugs who's the headliner.

    I'm actually surprised there is a video where someone goes over the positives of Loonatics instead of bashing it, I thought I was the only one who liked this show for what it was, so thank you for that. Tech and Rev are so wholesome together (in S1) that they should be paired up or at least bros for life, if Victorious taught me anything is that all a good ship needs is the characters work well together. Tori and Andre were platonic and Jori was endgame, two paths Tech and Rev could've gone down if Loonatics was made a little later.

    @incorrectzak3496 2 роки тому +12

    A few things I want to say:
    - One, I want to point out that Back in Action was a movie within a movie so ACME may or may not necessarily be that evil in the context of that
    - Second, I would say the point about human-occupied universes housing anthropomorphic animals making references to humans eating animals depends on how anthropomorphized the animals are as the original Looney Tunes would occasionally make references to things like "rabbit stew" in the Bugs Bunny cartoons
    Other than those I agree with the points about how the show has untapped potential. I think this show is deserving of the reboot treatment that redeems and fixes all the problems of the original show while also taking new spins, but considering how LT fans can be, especially the "boomer" ones (*cough cough* Ferris Wheelhouse *cough cough*), and given all the bad luck happen with Warner Bros. a few years later, that will have to be only a matter of time to happen -_-

    • @rabnerd28
      @rabnerd28  2 роки тому +4

      I think the thing with older Looney Tunes making reference to Rabbit Stew is that in the original shorts most of the time they're meant to be actual animals, and they're not a part of normal human society. Vs Loonatics where they are meant to be a part of human society.

  • @DancesWithFriesians
    @DancesWithFriesians 2 роки тому +12

    Personally speaking as to why I dislike Zadovia, I just don't get why the Loonatics ooo-ed and awwed over her. Aside from her fawning over Ace and Tech she came across as being pretty distant towards the rest of the team IIRC. I don't remember her interacting with the others beyond basically just telling them "Go out and fight."
    Also, why would she give Ace a superpowered sword, give out some platitudes about secrets being dangerous, but then... not disclose anything about the sword (and I think that led to some kind of negative fallout. It's been a long time, I can't remember)?
    Plus, the whole Duck thing -- yes, he can be annoying, but constantly sniping at him doesn't solve anything. She could've attempted to work with him somehow, help him overcome his more grating traits (but given the type of show this was, I know that's asking a lot). I guess she reminds me of a crappy boss at a retail store lol.
    Honestly she's ultimately pretty bland (like the rest of the cast), but all the stuff I mentioned also ends up making her really unpleasant on top of everything (to me).

    Super late to this one, but as someone who actually likes this show and enjoys it for what it was, they really missed the potential of the premise. Imagine the flat out insane and egotistical looney tunes trying to be superheroes. We could have gotten a fun bombastic action comedy like Powerpuff girls. As it is, it's just diet Teen Titans.

  • @skysiren4113

    Honestly I really do feel bad for Loonatics Unleashed and the people who worked on it, while I do agree that it has it's flaws I find it pretty unfair how much people bash it and make fun of it (the Teen Titan's Go one especially is salt in the would) I think if they made it more clear in the first trailer that the Loonatics were just the decendents of the orignals and not made to replace them, then while I do think it would still had some backlash from fans it would nowhere be as bad as it was
    Personally I'm glad to see more people realise that the show wasn't as bad as a lot of people made it out to be. It would be curious if they do eventually try to do this idea again (something like a third season, a reboot or a completely new show) but given that it still has a negative reputation among a lot of Looney Tunes fans, I think it's unlikely

    I have a goal in life to bring this show back, but not as a remake. I want to make a continuation from where season 2 ended, featuring new characters including a seventh Loonatic (who’s going to appear as a 14 year old kid with the ability to shrink and grow in a way similar to Ant-Man and a tragic past who views Ace and Lexi as mentor figures) and my own original villains such as Binary, Red Siren, Afterburn, and the Psychotics. But this is going to be a long term goal as I’m currently working on my own project right now. Anyone interested, I’ll keep you posted.

    Good to know that in 2772, the 1990s haven't been forgotten. No, _TTG_ is not good. If you put the genre first and not the characters first, you don't get a good show, you get an annoying parody of a show. _Ben 10_ (2016) is a good show, because it focused on the characters and ironed out issues found in the original continuity.

    best episode was the one with the meteor that was going to hit acemetropolis and we got a flashback to all the heroes' prior lives. if this show had more moments like these, it would have added more depth to the story and characters. we never really got to be alone with the characters(villains and heroes) because of the saturday morning cartoon format.
    season 1 is still way better than season 2 though because of the tone and the art style. season 2 is not bad but it is half a step down due to the added campy tone and uglier art; probably uglier art due to a lower budget. t
    biggest gripe with this show was it had villains with hilariously stupid motives: rupes oberon getting angry because no one wants his music xD( BUT WE ALREADY HAVE AN ANTHEM!), General Deuce throwing a fit because he couldnt conquer a planet, Optimatus throwing a fit because he also couldnt conquer planets and got his face fried, Porky Pig being plain evil... guess thats why he was put up for adoption?.
    pretty much all the characters had potential to add depth to the show but the writers i guess chose to be stale bread.

    First what's wrong with a show that tries to be fun, or doesn't necessarily gives more than promised? Second their not Descendants just based on them!

      I love this show and I love that it's just fun. But it's literally been stated in press releases and even on Wikipedia that they're meant to be descendants.
