History YMMV / LoonaticsUnleashed

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: With how clunky other parts of the production can get, the voice acting and casting are some of the few saving graces of the series. All of the Loonatics are played by veteran VA's who've had very successful careers before and since the show, and were clearly doing the best they can with the rather stock lines and jokes they were given.

* AwesomeMusic: The season 1 intro is a melodramatic orchestral piece mixed with an epic chorus and an electric string riff that acts as the Loonatics' own leimotif.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The whole Loonatics team seems to suffer from this. A clear point is that all six members on the team take a role commonly found in other cartoon crimefighter teams seen countless times (Ace being TheLeader who`s always on top of things and in the right, Duck serving as the ButtMonkey who always acts like a jerk asking for trouble, Lexi being TheChick and not really showing anything different in personality outside her gender, Tech being the SmartGuy, Slam as the groups muscle and Rev as the fast talking, fast running ChatterBox). Maybe the show could have taken the common tropes associated with team members and tried to add more traits to each one of them. (Ace could still be portrayed as skilled but also having moments of doubts in his decisions as leader (maybe due to the fact he was never one to begin with), Duck could have tried to experience CharacterDevelopment and matured more, learning something that isn`t tied down by AesopAmnesia and being a team player, ect. Heck, since a portion of the fan base consider Tech and Rev an OfficialCouple, the show could also have been subtle in portraying an LGBT relationship during a time when same sex couples were still not in the mainstream of animated media. The potential for these characters were there, but the writers didn`t tap into it.

* PopularWithFurries: Due to its character designs being closer to realistic human proportions compared to mostinterpretations of the Looney Tunes, it's not without its fans for that reason alone.

* FollowTheLeader: Most egregiously to ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', another animated Warner Bros. property that (though not without its own dissenting vocal minority) found popularity with its stylized aesthetic and more free-form interpretations of its older characters.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Rev's family (who showed up in "Family Business") got a MASSIVE fan base because of their quirky natures.

* TaintedByThePreview: The early character designs were extremely stylized and overly spikey, and the characterizations were written to be so [[TotallyRadical X-TREEEEEME]] that it instantly turned people off. The show was being mocked before it even came out, and many of those people continued to mock it while refusing to even watch it. There were even people still complaining about the character designs not realizing those designs had been changed.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: As shallow as the writing often was, the voice acting is arguably one of the few saving graces of the series.

* SnarkBait: You thought ''Film/SpaceJam'' was the most ridiculed thing to ever be associated with Looney Tunes? Think again!

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Rev and Tech, if only because they're the only characters with somewhat developed personalities and actually have believable and likeable interactions.
** Also Rev's family (who showed up in "Family Business") got a MASSIVE fan base because of their quirky natures.

** Ace Bunny, the descendant of Bugs Bunny, is voiced by Charlie Schlatter. In an short episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' over a decade later that parodied Looney Tunes, he would reprise the role of the Flash, who's behavior is very Bugs Bunny like.

* [[spoiler: Danger Duck’s back story is a wasted plot and character arc. Orphan Duck tricked his pal to get adopted and obviously feels guilty about it and feels he drove him to villainy.]] Many fans feel this could have been a character arc with some deep, and real development for Duck and Pinkster.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: An anime-inspired superhero action show.... starring descendants of the Franchise/LooneyTunes? The show tries to combine slapstick and sight gags with tense action scenes, story arcs, and character development, creating a disconnect that makes the whole thing impossible to take seriously. Even people who like the show have a hard time with this.

* SuperlativeDubbing: The Mexican Spanish dub deserves a special mention: Traditionally, Warner Bros. tends to dub almost all their animated, non-WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes-related series from the 90s to this date into Latin American Spanish in UsefulNotes/{{Venezuela}} since it's cheaper to dub there than in UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}}. This series[[note]]Along with ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'', albeit that series was dubbed in Mexico due for [[RealitySubtext political reasons involving the late Hugo Chavez in the 2000s]][[/note]] is one the few modern animated ones dubbed by Mexican voice actors, rather than Venezuelan ones, even if Warners [[LoopholeAbuse could invoke the fact the Loonatics are descendants of the original Looney Tunes just to avoid dubbing the series in Mexico]]. The reason for not dubbing the series in Venezuela could be the criticism the company received from Spanish-speaking fans about how the original ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' were dubbed by Venezuelans in both ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' and some few modern shorts.

* [[spoiler: Danger Duck’s back story is a wasted plot and character arc. Orphan Duck tricked his pal to get adopted and obviously feels guilty about it and feels he drove him to villainy.]] Many fans feel this could have been a character arc with some deep, and real development for Duck and Porky.

** [[spoiler: Heck, the Porky character! They could have made him a good guy who was robbed of his chance at a happy home and could have had proper villainous motivation. What do they do? They just make him a jerk from childhood and removed any chance of making him a complex villain.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: Ralph "Pa" Runner's animosity towards coyotes is reminiscent of the FantasticRacism in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'', specifically of Bonnie and Stu's animosity towards foxes.

The show tries to combine slapstick and sight gags with tense action scenes, creating a disconnect that makes the whole thing impossible to take seriously. Even people who like the show have a hard time with this.

* UncertainAudience: This show's biggest problem is that after the negative backlash to the original offering, the creators seemed unwilling to commit to being either too serious or too comical for fear of alienating potential viewers even more. As a result it's usually a little too silly for the action to really work, yet at the same time it also takes itself a little too seriously for the jokes and callbacks to the source material to work as well as they should've. The usual favorite example of this kind of wishy-washy treatment is at the end of the show's run where twice big rocks fall on Danger Duck and Sylth Vester, and it's supposed to be funny and forgotten after the next cut (with neither of them supposed to have a HealingFactor to explain this). Then one minute later the villains show up and Ace and Lexi can't blast their way out of a collapsed room because suddenly [[RocksFallEveryoneDies rocks falling on the Loonatics is something that would kill them]].

* LoveItOrHateIt: The series is, shall we say, ''[[InternetBackdraft polarizing]]''. Possibly what occurs when executives at Creator/WarnerBros, after witnessing the financial bombing of ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'', decided to copy that "Anime" [[CriticalResearchFailure thing they'd heard so much about]] and make something the kids of today "understood". The original trailer didn't go over so well. When the harsher designs and dark setting hit the mainstream, Looney Tunes fans around the world revolted, complaining about what they saw as a crass attempt to appeal to its demographic and utter disrespect for its source material. Some say that Loonatics could have been better received if it was not for Warner Bros' advertising campaign, which claimed that ''Loonatics'' was a newer, better version of the original Looney Tunes. Warner Bros. greatly revised the show from its pilot, especially when the news media got wind of an internet petition against the show started by '''an actual 11-year old boy'''. The result led to the character designs being softened and the concept altered ever so slightly.
