* HoYay: Some fans read a degree of [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] into Tech and Rev's friendship. In the second season, the creators may have picked up on this and, in an attempt to reduce it, had Tech and Rev show more animosity towards each other. However, this just made them look like a bickering old married couple.
** The episode "Family Business" is a goldmine for this with a lot of DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything moments. Rev's parents react to Tech as a stereotypical parent would react to their child's boyfriend, with not trusting him and with sarcastic insults.

* 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 VAs who've had very successful careers before and since the show, and were clearly doing the best they could with the rather stock lines and jokes they were given.

Others who are more neutral to the show think that while far from a hidden gem, the show's issues were greatly overblown by [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks purist Looney Tunes fans]] and the actual series is essentially just a standard animated action/comedy kids show from the 2000s with good animation and voice acting.

* 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 and character development 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 [[ForgotAboutHisPowers rocks falling on the Loonatics is something that would kill them]].

** The Royal Tweetums. Much like [[{{Expy}} ancestor]] Tweety in his very first 1940s incarnations, Tweetums is a self-centered {{jerkass}} who runs around getting into danger, is very obnoxious, and causes all sorts of pain and suffering for his caretakers when he's not treating them like crap. When foe Sylth Vester comes along, his reasons for trying to take out the little bastard include having had his head shoved into a singularity; he and Duck actually ''bond'' some over the abuse Tweetums has put both of them through. And the show wants you to believe installing him on the throne will ''prevent'' centuries of galactic warfare.

AST is now trivia and requires Word Of God evidence. Removed "is the entire work good or bad?" Broken Base entry already covered by Critical Backlash. WSRD is no longer a page. Removed a So Okay Its Average entry that was secretly bashing the work. Also removed fanficy and "execution sucks" PGP misuse.


* AudienceAlienatingEra: Released during a time where the franchise had little success and relevancy beyond merchandising, being made shortly after ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' bombed at the box office, changing the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes to [[DarkerAndEdgier grimdark superheroes]] was almost unanimously panned by ''Looney Tunes'' fans and did little to attract new children as well. Nothing like it has been attempted since.



* AuthorsSavingThrow: Season 2 is much more lighthearted than Season 1, and includes more villains based off of established Looney Tunes.



* BrokenBase: The show had many detractors when it was still airing, bemoaning it as awful. But nowadays you can find a lot of devoted fans for the show who felt that it was an interesting direction even if it differed from the usual ''Looney Tunes'' formula.



* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus of the show is that it's far from terrible but it's not well regarded when you compare it to [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the]] [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown other]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman shows]] that aired on Kids' WB at the time. It has some interesting action and funny moments but they're not on par with the overall ''Looney Tunes'' franchise. The fact that it's a TotallyRadical DarkerAndEdgier take on the franchise focusing on future action-oriented descendants of the characters doesn't help.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The whole Loonatics team seems to suffer from this. "The Comet Cometh" even goes through the trouble of showing every member's varied pre-Loonatics backstory, most of which doesn't really connect to the present-day story in any meaningful way other than expositing on their skills and motivations. Most egregiously, we don't even get a full origin story of how they banded together under Zadavia and made the transition from civilians to superheroes. The potential for these characters were there, but the writers didn`t tap into it.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** People who liked the idea of creating action-oriented descendants of the Looney Tunes were put off by the show's over-reliance on OriginalGeneration characters. The first season in particular was all original characters, with the only Looney Tunes-related ones present at all being the main six. Season two introduced more Looney Tunes-inspired characters, but still relied heavily on original generation characters.
** People who thought the series was actually a decent action/adventure show usually argue that creating descendants of the Looney Tunes at all was a mistake and that it would better with all original characters as well as a focus on action instead of comedy.
** [[spoiler: Danger Duck’s back story is a wasted plot and character arc. Danger Duck tricked Pinkster Pig in order to get adopted and he obviously feels guilty about it, as he believes this drove Pinkster to villainy.]] Many fans feel this could have been a proper character arc with some deep and real development for Danger and Pinkster.
** Some people wonder why the show did not do a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'', given that they are both Looney Tunes in a science fiction setting.
