History WesternAnimation / LoonaticsUnleashed

''Loonatics Unleashed'' (2005-2007) is a controversial series about characters, based on the classic WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes gang, who are mutant superheroes (read: The WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague) in a [[DarkerAndEdgier dark]] {{Cyberpunk}} universe.

** Danger Duck can shoot fire in a similar manner to Brotherhood mutant Pyro.

*** FridgeBrilliance: For MarvelVsCapcom players, ever notice how Magneto is portrayed as a GlassCannon? Link that to Tech's own portrayal in Loonatics, being a Magneto {{Expy}} and all.

* UnfortunateImplications: A few human characters, such as Pierre le Pew and Mr. Leghorn, not only have the same surnames as classic WB characters, but greatly resemble them, both physically and in personality. The products of InterspeciesRomance, perhaps?

* CaptainErsatz: The Loonatics take most of their powers from various XMen characters.

[[caption-width-right:300:This is what WB classes as "{{Anime}}".]]

* {{Animesque}}: Or so WarnerBros. claimed. It really doesn't look anymore anime than the actual Looney Tunes themselves.

* FoeYay: TheVamp Black Velvet. Most of the male cast (and ''Zadavia'' of all people) agree that she is attractive. Later on in episode 3 when she kidnaps Tech they both exchange flirtatious insults, afterwards she brainwashes Tech she calls him various pet names.

The series is, shall we say, ''[[InternetBackdraft polarizing]]''. Possibly what occurs when executives at 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 more well received if it was not for Warner Bros' advertising campaign, which claimed that Loonatics was a newer, better version of the original LooneyTunes. 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.

* {{Animesque}}: Or so WarnerBros. claimed. It really doesn't look anymore anime than the actual LooneyTunes themselves.

* {{Expy}}: After fans loudly protested the series' initial announcement, Warner Bros. hastily pointed out that the Loonatics were not actually the LooneyTunes. They are the LooneyTunes' futuristic descendants. While this doesn't exactly fix the problems many fans had with the concept, it does correct the misconception pushed by the mainstream media that these were actually updated versions of the classic LooneyTunes.

* MythologyGag: Alien planets are named Blanc (after LooneyTunes voice actor MelBlanc) and Freleng (after LooneyTunes director FrizFreleng).

** Well to be fair she does sometimes have her reasons for it, DD is narcissistic and egotistical at times, and then there was that time he attacked Zadavia when she was turned into a monkey - granted he didn't know it was her at the time, but still.
