History YMMV / DuckDodgers

* BrokenBase: While most people agree Season 3 is the weakest season, there's the debate on if it went through SeasonalRot or is just not as good as the first two. Detractors point out that it's the first Looney Tunes project to have actual character development, and season 3 undoing that is a disservice. Defenders point out that, like the classic shorts, the Looney Tunes are not the best with long term character development, being more suited to simple plots, character archetypes, and lampooning pop culture, and Season 3 captures that feeling pretty well.

* FanonDiscontinuity: To some fans, season 3 never existed.

* MyRealDaddy: Although Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone are the creators, many people think Paul Dini and Tom Minton are the true creative force, and their absence in season 3 made the decline in quality noticeable.

* EvilIsSexy: For an on-off antagonist, The Martian Queen got a lot of attention because of how curvaceous she was and always wearing revealing clothes. Played straighter with Counselor Dish, who happens to be a FemBot.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpsxfEU-4Is The theme song by Tom Jones]]. It's even more awesome in its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gtyGF4zKA8 full version.]] That's actually the Music/FlamingLips performing, with Tom Jones doing the vocals. ''' DUUUUUCK DOOOOOODGERS OF THE TWENTY FOURTH! AND ONE HALF CENTUUUURY... '''

* CriticalResearchFailure: The Green Lantern crossover uses Green Lantern Corps members that would've been active in the 20th/21st centuries... even though the episode is still meant to take place in the '''24 1/2''' century. Either the ''entire'' Corps. was stuck in a time warp, or WritersCannotDoMath. (Or possibly RuleOfCool.)

* WhatAnIdiot: In the episode "[[Franchise/{{Halo}} The Fudd]]", the Fudd brainwashes pretty much everybody outside of Dodgers, Cadet, and Marvin, all for his master plan of ''the invasion of the SUN.'' Then again, this IS Elmer Fudd we're talking about.

%% * {{Adorkable}}: Marvin can be this sometimes.

* GeniusBonus: When there's a throwaway joke about ''Busby Berkeley'', you know you're in for a lot of these.

* FoeYay:

*** Could qualify as a FunnyAneurysmMoment as of the 2017 revival, where [[spoiler:Jack does slay a human for the first time thinking she was another one of Aku's robots, earning it a TV-14-V rating.]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: At one point in "The Menace of Maninsuit", Dodgers is thrown onto a nuclear plant in the bay damaging it, prompting him to comment "Oh, for all the stupid... I mean, ''WHO'' would put a nuclear power plant right there by the ocean!?" which can be rather sour after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

* HarsherInHindsight: At one point in "The Menace of Maninsuit", Dodgers is thrown onto a nuclear plant in the bay damaging it, prompting him to comment "Oh, for all the stupid... I mean, ''WHO'' would put a nuclear power plant right there by the ocean!?" which can be rather sour after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

** Another example from "The Green Loontern": one of the captured Green Lantern Corps members strongly resembles Raiden from the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' series. Not only would Creator/WarnerBros later buy the franchise, but Raiden himself would appear as a guest character in ''Injustice 2'', a DC fighting game.

* TheWoobie: Dodgers in "The Love of a Father".

* HarsherInHindsight: At one point in "The Menace of Maninsuit", Dodgers is thrown onto a nuclear plant in the bay damaging it, prompting him to comment "Oh, for all the stupid... I mean, ''WHO'' would put a nuclear power plant right there by the ocean!?" which can be rather sour after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

--> '''Duck Dodgers''': You're lucky I didn't cut you to ribbons.
--> '''Human''': Not with a Y-7 rating you won't.

*** And it doesn't end there. During the fight between Dodgers and Achoo, Achoo says the line: "Become my apprentice, samurai!...It is your destiny! Join me [[WeCanRuleTogether and we will rule the galaxy as father and son!]]". It may have been a hilarious reference to the iconic LukeIAmYourFather scene of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', but come Season 5, it ends up almost accurately describing the crucial plot twist of the penultimate episode: [[spoiler:hint: to make it accurate, the subject is not the titular samurai, and change "son" to its opposite gender]].\\
