We Need To Talk About The Loonatics Episode Of Teen Titans Go...

[@gokaiorange9576]

DISCLAIMER: I do not outwardly hate Teen Titans Go. I've been neutral on the whole thing for years now. I only bring it up now because they encroached on my turf in regards to Loonatics, ESPECIALLY after I just finished a lengthy video project about the show's first season. This is not a rant about Teen Titans Go, this is just me venting about how Loonatics is overhated and Warner Bros needs to stop slinging mud at it.

I'm not even a Loonatics Unleashed fan but gotta say it's pretty ironic (and above all hypocritical) when you realize TTG is technically in the same damn boat as the show they're mocking lol Loonatics Unleashed took a beloved comedy series and turned it into an action show that nobody asked for. Meanwhile TTG took a beloved action show and turned it into a comedy series that nobody asked for. The only difference between these situations is Warner Bros cancelled the least embarrassing of the two yet went out of their way to continue the one that actually warranted shame.

People say the same of the modern Looney Tunes, they suburban lifestyle of the newer shows are non-Looney Tunes. Loonatics is slowly becoming whats called a Cult Classic which are shows the start gaining an audience long after they flopped. People are starting to enjoy the show because of the flaws that are joked about it. WB though is not aware its gaining a Cult following so they are still going with the jokes the audience made after the flop and before the rewatching.

[@estebangutierrez160]

I think the reason why fans love Loonatics Unleashed, I've never watched it but I do plan on to, is because it's a different take on the characters. What a lot of people don't understand is that everyone loves different. The fact that the classic, and new, Looney Tunes characters have become this new Superhero take is a different take on the characters and setting. But what we still want is for the characters to still be true to who they are without making them feel like they are a completely different person. It's why both Velma and Teen Titans Go are hated. While Velma is a different from the classic Scooby Doo characters, it's nowhere near to who the characters were and what the show was. The show feels like a completely different Scooby show with the character only sharing the name and clothing. And it tries to be very Feminist.

[@annonymousannonymous9586]

Honestly I don't think Teen Titans Go was made for Any kind of audience except for Sam Register himself, at this point it's basically his own little wet dream & eventually one way or another when this series is finally cancelled, it will go down in history as the most Hated overly ran cartoon series in history, and serve as a warning on what Not to do with a beloved franchise(also like with the "Velma" series), no questions asked!

It's weird, because I've seen a few things from TTG that were actually kind of decent. The show had Ravager show up and that was kind of neat. So it's not like the show can't have good ideas. It just seems like for every one good idea the show has, it has to have seven that are really dumb.

"The Looney Tunes Show" was a quite different take on the Looney Tunes that was very well receive despite how different it was to the old cartoons.

I never saw Loonatics Unleashed, so I can't speak for the quality of the show itself, but it has a right to exist at the very least.

[@Superlad9494]

Loonatics Unleashed is pretty much What if the Looney Tunes Great Grandkids were Superheroes in Space. That said I think what causes harm in some cases is that Lexi's the only girl on the team. They should have had Petunia's descendant there too by going the JL/KND route of two girls on the team in addition to the 4 guys. We have Ace as Super-Bugs, Tech as Bat E. Coyote Rev as a Robin-Flash fusion Lexi as Wonder Wabbit combined with Brainiac 5 (literally a whole episode about it in season 2) Danger Duck as a super powered Jason Todd (given his attitude, Aquadense eggs, and contempt with everyone and the fact that he actually would do half the stuff Jason does if Ace and Lexi didn't keep him on a short leash...including quacking over to New Gotham and getting rid of Terry's landing gear) and Slam Taz as Flash with super strength. If Petunia's descendant had been included they could have gone the route of having a Hawkgirl-style member on the team to balance things out and since no other member wore blue accents, she could have had a blue costume and Petunia certainly has the attitude for it.

[@Emperor_Oshron]

was Loonatics REALLY so hated that they feel compelled to mock it across multiple different shows long after most people had forgotten that it even existed? i didn't watch it myself (can't explain why, i was in pretty much the exact demographic for it at the time but it just wasn't on my radar otherwise) and so have no opinion on it one way or the other, but i remember ads from when it was an upcoming show. i really HAD forgotten that it was a thing until that Animaniacs remake took a shot at them and my only reaction was basically "...Oh, yeah, that was a thing, wasn't it? ...Why are they talking about it NOW, of all times?" oh, and Teen Titans Go is one of the worst shows on mainstream television right now and i will never be convinced otherwise.

@NewSonyWonderHappyMadisonFan might not be the worst thing ever, but that doesn't mean the content is worth my time or money. I'm being sensitive about WB's adult cartoons. Adult cartoons can be done well. You're right the problem is the crappy writing, and being inaccessible to children means another portion of the audience won't be checking it out. They used to be able to make cartoons that appealed to children and adults. That's why Batman: The animated series and The whole DCAU is held in such high regard. They didn't pander to one specific audience. They found a way to make it work for both.

[@HelloHamburger]

​@DavidMartinez-ce3lp "Adult" shows are quite often too inappropriate for children. Often with edgy humor and sex jokes. And also too immature with edgy humor and overplayed, unfunny sex jokes that will be too unfunny and immature for most adults to care. So, the same problem turns off most kids and most adults. They agree on something! Kids might watch it but most parents won't let them if they know they are seeing it. Also, the overplayed meta jokes. Also also, believing that awkward silence, crude and disrespectful jokes are funny, trauma is funny, shock humor is funny anymore, and putting in ince** to try and be funny. I liked Rick and Morty when it was funnier and was more focused on comedy and didn't take itself seriously most of the time. Plot focused stuff and serial storylines are fine, but, we just don't get the cool/funny sci-fi ones offs so much anymore. Now, it is basically all that bad adult cartoons are. And, no, this happened long before Justin Roiland was fired. I recognize some of the flaws there now were there in the beginning. But, 1. they were balanced out with other stuff, 2. they were less frequent and less in your face all the time with stuff like meta humor, 3. Didn't let the weirdest/creepiest part of the fanbase influence the shows writing, and 4. Didn't include ince** "jokes".

Okay, some of the attempts at being "cool" are cringe-inducing, but there were far far worse shows airing during that time both visually, tonally, animation wise, and sound wise too. What makes Loonatics so special that people are willing to dumpster all over it nearly 20 years later. It was very clearly a spin-off and not the future direction of where to take the series.

[@somebodykares1]

The animation had some flaws, the plotlines had flaws, there was convienent moments of lack of logic (Ex: Slam got frozen in Ice and took hours to defrost, yet gets frozen again and breaks out with his super strength), the comedy was sub-par and they did not really have a clear direction on what they were wanting to do. I feel the show could have done great but it was just not for that time period.

This episode was garbage. It wasn't even a crossover. It was just taking the piss on Loonatics and it's fans for 11 minutes. The Loonatics don't do anything, don't speak, and get "killed off". The writers seem to have some inferiority complex with a perfectly fine 19 year old cartoon. This isn't the first time TTG took shots at it. And even the Animaniacs reboot and Looney Tunes Cartoons did too. Idk why Loonatics is such a punching bag. People only hate it because it's not the Looney Tunes they grew up with.

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

Loonatics > TTG Teen Titans. Honestly this whole hate towards "Loonatics Unleashed" is just as toxic & annoying as the Sonic 06 hatedom. LU was not THE worst show on KidsWB's last foot, that "honor" goes to "Da Boom Crew." LU had lots of potential, it was handled really badly, like a lump of coal that didn't become a diamond no thanks to impatient greedy smelters. However, the other reason why it canceled was actually because the show didn't have any merchandise. Not even in kid's meal toy forms. They could've had merch if it wasn't for three words: "Bucky.O.Hare." Despite being a cult classic to some, "Bucky O'Hare" was so hated by toy makers that they actually made a rule to NEVER make toys that are "space rabbit superheroes" themed again, and unfortunately since both Ace and Lexi Bunny are technically space rabbit superheroes & their team was close to Bucky's team.....LU never got any merch & that lead it to it's early cancelation. That's why WB hates "Loonatics Unleashed" to this day.😓

I love the show Loonatics Unleashed. That was a very cool and interesting spin-off compared to the other shows in this version of the Looney Tunes. It didn't have as much slapstick; it was more emotional, delving into deeper topics. It was kind of like a mature version of Tiny Toon Adventures.

As an LU fan who’s seen the cartoon back when it was airing at WB kids it just sucks and more annoyed that WB still wants to remind people how much of a “mistake” it was. Bruh I was a non-English speaker and even then I enjoyed it and it’s been a guilty pleasure to watch from time to time. Sure it’s not perfect and could use some work in the writing but it’s just fun show that kids can just enjoy, it’s is own thing just like how TLS was also its own thing.

I just realized something, the whole reason Sam Register created this episode at all is because of YOU! YOU... and your retrospective. Think about it, This episode premiered not too long after you finished season 1 of your retrospective. Sam Register doesn't want ANYONE to remember Loonatics existence and tried taking down your retrospective videos in any way he could. When that failed, he decided to use his cash cow franchise to essentially make a anti-Loonatics propaganda episode involving the Loonatics dying from a meteorite while eating sandwiches, The Titans causally destroying Acmetropis, and Raven basically becomes... like you said, Sam's mouthpiece on how much he hated Loonatics and not wanting anyone to know it existence. In short, Sam Register created this episode specifically to torment you.

I have no strong feelings towards Loonatics, but honestly, I think it's pretty ironic they used Teen Titans Go off all shows to say how much this show sucked... cause TTG had this exact same reputation as Loonatics. Seriously, many arguments against Loonatics could contribute to TTG, heck some even say hate for Loonatics it's like TTG just in reverse, when they turn comedy into an action show. But the difference is that TTG was succesful, it makes them money, unlike Loonatics that had like two seasons, went to obscurity, and WB treats it like a mistake. Idk, it just feels rather hipocritical for TTG to make a statement like that, regardless of quality.
