I like how the characters’ names let you know a bit about what their roles are. Ace is the leader, Danger’s the escape artist, Slam’s the muscle, Rev’s the speedster, Tech’s the engineer, and Lexi is a girl’s name.
You know what would’ve made this show work? If the Looney Tunes, the original Looney Tunes were placed in the grim dark, cyberpunk world this show had and defeated super villains with their typical cartoon antics and toon force powers, that would be hilarious. Imagine Bugs fighting a super serious Darkseid figure by painting a tunnel and running into it, making said villain try to chase after him only to slam into the wall.
@@maxteraform one piece is literally about a rubber hose cartoon fighting against a genocidal and oppressive government. Its quite literally goofy shit in a serious world.
"I don't have to tell you what will happen if the temperature keeps dropping." "I knew it, we're going to lose cable again." That one actually got a chuckle out of me
Seeing a levitating Bugs Bunny shoot lazer beams out his eyes to heat a pizza while holding a katana is the most 2000's thing I've ever seen in my life.
The visual metaphor of their character outlines getting drenched in ink was probably meant to allude to the show being "darker" but in reality it was foreshadowing how the show was going to be a total mess.
I was actually convinced all these years that this show WAS canned during the production phase. Because despite being a teenager that still occasionally watched CN back in those days, I somehow never once saw any advertising, or even randomly stumbled onto an episode of this show. By total happenstance, I've been living in a mandela effect of my own making for over 15 years.
I went through a similar thing, I think a I saw an ad once but I never found the show again and just assumed it was like a weird fever dream. I didn’t find out was real until like 2 years ago.
Unfun fact: The reason why they decided not to use the Buzz Bunny name for Ace is because there was a women’s personal vibrator with that name sold in the UK
I had a McDonald’s toy of the edgy bugs bunny as a kid and always sort of assumed it was some from some obscure anime , glad to know I was at least partially right
@@just_jakey a part of me has always wondered if that's just because western weebs seem to be into it. I know it extends past that, but I also kinda doubt a lot of people in Japan also don't find it really weird too.
Just drew a dark, fucked up version of the looney tunes haha. Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao
Idk if you meant you drew it but the way you worded this is the perfect non-edgy but disgustingly annoyingly gross and worthless definition of a loser who attacks people for attention. Aka W.B. specifically with this cartoon
So you know that scene in MONUMENTMYTHOS where faux space superman yeets the universe's equivalent of lois lane and then makes her into a statue qith slowly disappearing features... you know, THAT scream? Yeah that was the reaction to the loonatics from a bunch of people, and _the artstyle wasnt even that bad it was just _*_SO FUCKING CRINGE-_*
That one shot of edgy Bugs meditating and levitating, casually shooting laser eyes at pizza while holding a katana gave me a chuckle. There's just so much to unpack with that one shot alone
Their idea of softening their designs was to take the stylized blank 90s comic eyes and given them weirdly detailed irises taken from a "How to Draw Manga" tutorial. Which is very 2000s in its own way, come to think of it. Also, props to a fellow Megas & Freakazoid fan!
Well, the other changes are mostly minor things like more humanlike proportions, their weird bracers, and making them less... sharp. But yeah, the eyes are the most notable feature
@@misterboxhead3045 no... I'm looking at it from my IT background. Coworkers and I often laugh at speedsters using computers...they move faster than 90% of computers processing speeds. A GPS is much much slower and wide area recalibration takes at least 4 different computers.
I mean you're right, it is ironic, but I think the animation creator was likely self-aware. It's possible to make edgy content yet still respect the classics and hate this show for being such a shameless pandering job
If this were a full on parody show it’d be kinda fun. If Coyote’s new weapons would just all backfire immediately, Roadrunner had an attention span of about three seconds before he gets distracted, Daffy’s overconfidence gets him flattened first in every fight, Bugs cannot be bothered to give a shit and solves the problem in the most absurdly simple method (like if pointing out that the Vikings can’t invade because there’s a ‘no invasion’ sign actually makes them go home) it’d be mildly entertaining.
That would be funny lol I do think though that an "every episode is a different au what if" would have been awesome. Like, you get an episode with this futuristic hero theme, with the things you said... and next episode is like, a cowboy theme episode. Then a heist ep. And so on...
@birdboy16 what if they actually used that as a joke? Like, she's show up in group shots and the opening, but never does anything, never says anything, and no one ever acknowledges her existence.
7:13 I'm so glad they brought back Samurai Jack, just to finally give his story a beautiful ending. Also, the cinematography of those new episodes is phenomenal. My favourite part is the fight in the snow. The way everything gradually disappears, covered by snow, only becoming visible when the characters move behind trees etc. And the music was amazing too.
As a 6 year old in 2005, I digged the idea and design of loonatics but whenever I could catch any of it I was always super confused and was left hoping justice league was on next.
One litte thing that really sucks is that their first draft of a superpowered Wile E. Coyote having regeneration actually sounds way better than what we got. We don't remember Coyote for his technical expertise or being a "super genius". After all, he ordered most of his gadgets from ACME! We remember him for being a walking slapstick magnet.
Could have worked if done right. Coyote did put together simple improvised gadgets from time to time, all of which backfired. But since this whole show is a dumpster fire 'if done right' is a bit of a moot point.
Wile E Coyote being prone to self-destructive acts of violence that leave him in literal pieces, only for the regenerative factor to drag him back together again.
"We don't remember Coyote for his technical expertise or being a 'super genius'. " Speak for you self. Even if he ordered his parts from Acme I imagine he didn't even need instructions just the supplies my self.
imagine instead of building advanced technological marvels he just orders it online from acme and paints over the logos and tell them that he made it imagine how funny that would be ace: so how do you start this thing teche: um... I printed a manual to tell you what to do ace: how did you make all of this stuff so fast teche: well I AM a genius ace: this is super complicated can you just show us how that would be way quicker and way easier teche: well I would but uh... teche: I've put a ton of stuff on the back burner for now and I have to finish that stuff quick ace: can you just show us how to do this first? it shouldn't take that long and then someone interrupts them which allows teche to get off scott free allowing him to keep doing this
@@autumnrose9655im a born, bred, raised, never left the country American. A spaz is someone who is really anxious and tends to over react to things or freak out small problems
2011 Lola Bunny is THE quintessential Lola Bunny. The low grade psychosis just fits. Scene where she crushes a can on her head without reacting is iconic.
I love the psychotic Lola, but I wish that they still kept her being just insanely cracked at basketball and never explain how that is the one thing she excels at.
"something radical, something extreme, something... Edgy" Yeah, man, i agree; you should be casted as Snowflame, the Cocaine Powered Supervillain for the next live action super hero movie.
Here. Better powers for the loonatics: (in case hell freezes over and they actually get a reboot) Bugs(im not remembering their names shush): Leader, combat skills, mainly just wit. Daffy: playing into his ego, able to make clones of himself. Often bicker with eachother. Lola: Clairvoyance. Can see through others, and as such, has terrible temper when it comes to being judged R.Runner: speed, but can also do fire things due to body heat. Could be a robot who overheats and explodes often for stakes or as a gag. Taz: Strong muscle hulk guy, but speaks eloquently and prefers to talk out disputes, even when illogical. Wile E: Crazed mad scientist who's always either experimenting on the others, or having one of his new gadget blow up in his face, whether purposefully or not.
Honestly, from how the pitch footage looked like, this show could have worked if it was more of a parody of how reboots were made to be as gritty and realistic as possible. Like have the plot literally be the Looney Tunes being warped and transformed by the WB themselves into their dark counterparts to appeal to modern audiences at the time, and make jokes about how hard the Tunes are trying to take themselves seriously.
I've seen some other comments about what they could've done and to sum-up what those other comments and you are saying is that they should've lean into the comedy more and not take itself so seriously. Which I agree.
Yeah, slightly edgier Funny Animal Characters Are a Superhero Team was already a supercommon trope since back when TMNT made bank, and by the 90s a bunch of WB properties were already riding the early train of meta-humor getting popular. Something genuine but a bit more tongue-in-cheek/self-aware might have done alright; redoing the characters for a different vibe already worked with Tiny Toons.
I honestly think leaning into the comedy ruins the shows spirit. People are so desperate for "deconstructions" and parodies because they cannot physically handle being genuine.
The looney tunes show (2011) is genuinely one of the funniest shows of my childhood and it seems like they really learned their mistake and how to balance what's popular and what's classic
@@newdawnhorizon9879in your opinion. It's pretty funny now as adults but I think it was definitely boring when I was little. A lot of the jokes went over my head.
The Looney Toons Show reminds me of the older "classic" Hanna Barbara cartoons like Flintstones and Jetsons. Those shows also have a lot of humor aimed towards adults while being kind of slow for kids. Idk if that's what they were going for, but that's the impression I always got from it.
I honestly wouldn’t mind them revisiting this as intentionally goofy and over the top. That back and forth between a bugs bunny in spandex and a fucking cyber Viking that basically amounted to “I’ll kill you all” “Nuh uh” definitely makes me feel like there’s untapped potential for something really funny here
I don't know, that sounds like the "Teen Titans Go" approach. Then again, maybe TTG wouldn't be so reviled if Cartoon Network didn't aggressively overmarket it for 5 years with 3 hour time block dedicated to nothing but that show, so who's to say if it could actually succeed?
@@Unownshipper Thing is the original TT also had whole episodes that were just jokes so making a show that's more comedy focus isn't inherently bad, plus this was a show that tried to be serious but also tried to be funny and failed at both
Much cooler idea: have this iteration of road runner be mute and have them use sign language (or some other form of non verbal communication) Like imagine how sick that would be
The roadrunner does talk in the Looney Tunes comics though, but I understand the jarring nature of him doing so. At least they have him simply talking fast instead of Shakespearean.
I saw this show as a kid but it was exactly one episode and when I went to school the next day I talked to my friends about it and literally nobody knew what I was talking about. I never saw it or heard about it again so I just assumed it was like a wild daydream or gas leak or something and it didn't actually exist. Thank you for confirming that this was not a hallucination brought on from carbon monoxide or ergot poisoning.
I think the best way they could have done the characters: Taz: Still babbles nonsense, but is a brilliant inventor. His downfall is that he babbles nonsense, so the team has to actually figure out how to use things (thus also allowing for exposition on the tech as the team figures out how to use them). Duck: Still give him teleportation powers, but galaxy-brain level ADHD so he can't always concentrate on where he needs to go. Coyote: Make him invulnerable but incredibly single-minded so he unnecessarily risks the team because he forgets that they aren't as protected as him. Bugs: Max charisma, absolutely zero fighting ability. Lola: Basically as the sitcom show - badass with sub-kindergarten levels of social awareness. Roadrunner: Pride incarnate, thinks he's better than everyone else, but also tactically brilliant so the team somewhat pumps his ego by following his plans but then knocks him down a peg verbally.
I was basically thinking something similar when he mentioned redesigning the characters. Like making coyote a moron who stumbles ass backwards into solutions in contrast to the original who is a self proclaimed genius that fails at everything.
It could, in theory at least, be funny if a Taz descendant had a Groot type thing going on with his team, where he talks the nonsensical Taz-ese, but everybody else just understands him perfectly anyway.
The idea was solid. It was the era of Static Shock, Batman Beyond, and Spider-man Unlimited. Black-clad angsty futuristic versions of our favorite superheroes were all the rage. But, like Spider-man Unlimited, it missed what made the shows enjoyable, solid character work and interesting plays on the classic format.
It sounds like they also entirely replaced the shows, which is the biggest thing for me. With Spiderman, you can bet there'd be like 20 media options to turn to if one show didn't play out, but if this was truly a replacement and not a spinoff, I can't believe they took that risk
I thought the episode where they visit Rev's home town in the desert and Tech E. Keeps getting accidentally killed was literally a direct play on their original format. And also Danger Duck always trying to one up Ace and acting like the main character just like Daffy did with Bugs.
This show has incredible potential for an abridged series. Seriously, the animation already doesn't match the lip flaps, and pasting over the audio with jokes would be a net improvement with almost total certainty.
I mean as someone who grew up in Oklahoma- a nine year old from Tulsa around that time having an appreciation for bugs bunny or Looney tunes isn't surprising. Lots of kids would watched taped stuff like that at grandparents who don't have cable. Which can be bonding and create that appreciation ,
I remember this show because my family rented it from Family Video, and we kept it for so long that financially the late fees would’ve crippled us. We never returned to that store and it has since closed down, so now we just own a copy of Lunatics
This happened to us too (with an army men game) for months we thought we'd returned it and they were wrong. Eventually I found it at home and took it back, owed like $80ish, but they waived the fee in exchange for whatever mum was willing to give them that night (I think we paid $20 or something). I assume they knew we'd just change stores to a competitor
I have an acquaintance that grew up without his mom and his dad had autism/adhd plus a bunch of childhood traumas he never got help for. He basically neglected his kid (who is said acquaintance, friend of a friend, cool guy but I only see him at my friend's birthday) to play videogames/work on his computers and would "rent" videos to keep him occupied. The dad would rent videos for his kid but always forgot to return them so they ended up with a stack of videotapes from now defunct places. A lot of obscure classic stuff too. There must be some lost media there, I'm sure.
To explain the "2 seasons" thing, most animated shows will get their second season announced just as its releasing, due to how the process of animation takes a while. Typically they do so if they expect the series to be a success upon release. Which honestly makes this even more sad that they somehow expected this series to be enough of a hit for two seasons.
This is the kind of art style I love. I absolutely love 2000s edginess, and this is no exception. Not that it makes the show good, but the art style really sticks out to me.
Real facts is the only reason people hated it is Disney spent billions on a smear campaign of it and Nickelodeon spent hundreds of millions smearing it because Disney was actually nearly dead as a company because they only show they had at that time that was getting any real audience was Kim Possible but Cartoon Network had a serious competitor for a female spy in high school and that was Totally Spies which also had a Red head cheerleader and a blond girl and a cute slight dark skin Asian girl and actually came out around the same time and was far better animation. Actually I think totally spies actually came out first. If you look at the animation Totally spies feels far better while Kim Possible feels really antiquated and feels way too much like a 1990s show than a mid 2000s show and Kim had older crappy spy gear especially with a giant bulky Palm Pilot PDA Beeper which lets be honest no kid at that time even knew what that crap was making the show kind of stupid but Totally spies used chap stick lasers and stuff like a tie that could turn into a sword or a high heels that turned into skies or roller blades or jet boots and actually felt like a real spy show while Kim Possible would just call up random people while they were working and get free rides everywhere which sounded extremely stupid like which cargo company is going to allow a teen age girl to just hitch a ride in the back of a cargo plane and jump out risking that plane losing air pressure and completely crashing?! Its actually stupid. Nickelodeon was relying upon the same 2 things its still barely alive to this day relying upon to keep itself barely alive meaning sponge bob and Avatar the Last Airbender but then those shows were doing really good but lets be honest Nickelodeon died with Avatar the Last Airbender and Danny Phantom which both ended in America in 2004. Disney and Nickelodeon had no space shows well aside from Disney having the Lilo and Stitch which that franchise was mostly shut down in 2003 and Buz Lightyear of Star Command which holly shit that was a garbage show and watching yea it was really bad but Cartoon Network had Star Wars which lets be honest was the entire Space Franchise at the time and Cartoon Network had every single Super Hero show at the time completely controlling all space and heroes and were combining them into another program they owned which destroyed Mickey Mouse and caused Disney to file for bankruptcy 3 times called Looney Toons. Disney was shit faced scared so they spent from what I know of at leas $2 billion on a smear campaign of the show. That "12 year old kid" was a blatant lie it was Disney doing a massive smear campaign out of fear of complete destruction because they were scared shitless of the show.
@@Guymanbot97 He claims the show was sabotaged, goes on a bizarre tangent about totally spies, and then claims Disney both has no money and simultaneously 2 billion dollars.
In the original intro when the cartoonist leaves the room and the ink bottle spills all over the Bugs and the gang, I wanted that to be the entire explanation of how they are now 'dark' and 'edgy'. Forget the whole descendants thing, just have the ink run down and the characters suddenly start moving and complaining "Hey! What just happened?!" and then have the reveal that they are all redesigned and even have them do some critiquing of their new looks. There could have been a bunch of meta jokes where they ask if this is really what kids are into nowadays.
as someone who's seen the show just once out of sheer boredom and desperation I have to point out that the show completely missed the joke by pointing out that the studio in charge ripped off the whole Disney afternoon team dynamic which to be completely fair was getting worn out by the mid 90's, a full decade before this show ever saw the light of day. on that note here's a Rodney Dangerfield one liner which sums up the whole Loonatics Unleashed. " we did everything we could but he pulled through anyway."
The creation of Loonatics was also likely inspired by the success of another Kids WB staple that was in itself a dark, dystopian, futuristic update on a long-lasting, popular character: Batman Beyond.
Yeah, it compensated for the main character not talking by creating a huge supporting cast. It does raise the question, is Taz just nonverbal or mentally challenged in this universe?
@@TheAlexSchmidt I'm sure the creators of Taz weren't thinking that back in 1954. I'm sure the adapters weren't even thinking that in the 90s. It's only recently that people have thought to ask bigger questions such as that.
I never watched "Loonatics Unleashed", yet somehow, hearing Bugs Bunny say, "What's up, Doc?" In that Shadow The Hedgehog-esque voice, made feel as though my child-self was retroactively, sexually harassed.
i feel so bad for you, but no amount of sorrys and likes can save you from that blurb at the end. I can tell from that mental warfare of an analogy that you just wanted to become homeless, just so you didn't have to see or hear it again.
I've never seen this show but hearing that for the first time in this video made me visibly cringe, its weird because i had seen a commercial for that show when I was young, and I thought it must be pretty cool...damn, I am so glad I never saw it
Every episode of this looks like a parody you would see on Newgrounds titled "If the Loony Tunes were made today" or some shit. Rev Runner: - If you weren't a coyote or a man I would've kissed you! Tech E. Coyote: - Luckily, I'm both. I just love this dialoge so much-
I love how he poked fun at channels discussing the history of the topic being discussed to pad run time, and then immediately proceeded to spend 3 entire minutes on a sponsor segment when like, 1 could suffice.

Like, seriously, please make more of these All these tiny animation errors in shows created like 2 decades ago aint gonna point out themselves, that's for sure! So someone's gotta be doing it and huh you are just the man for the job
I spent a good half hour just giggling like a maniac as I re-read this comment and clicking on the timestamp; your comment is the best one I've ever seen

I actually watched this as a kid, and I vividly remember feeling bored and confused out of my mind while doing so. My family had checked the first season out at the library and for some reason I watched the whole thing. All I remembered before watching this video was them riding in vehicles and fighting some sort of anime space wizard at the end, with the first season ending in a cliffhanger. What a weird show.
Got to admit though that season 1 cliffhanger where we were left to wonder which Loonatic was the father of Lexi's child was a bold step for the show to take, and I appreciate the effort to give the show a unique identity.
Yeah I watched this on KidsWB just to slog through it to watch better shows like Tom & Jerry Tales. I was even entertained with Johnny Test, but it was the first season those days. This show on the other hand was boring.
8:39 Later on, because of the "no blood" rule, there was an episode about a family of metal-eating robots that thought they were human and at the end started eating each other and honestly that made this episode so much fucked up than it would've been if they were just humans that Jack had to fight
Samurai Jack was a gigantic part of my childhood, it was a different breed of minimalistic design and dynamic storytelling that my young self had never seen before. The art was insanely efficient, with all the fat of character designs cut off, and the camera work was always so well thought out.
I saw Baby Looney Tunes as a child and I can say it is one of the best little kid’s shows ever made imo. It was finally something I could relate to in terms of problems such as not being able to read the clock or thinking adults were supposed to never make mistakes. Of course I simultaneously enjoyed looney tunesn in other ways such as various vhs compilations we bought
Agreed. I always loved it throughout every stage of growing up! It was one of those shows for kids that didn't talk down to you. Besides, as I grew up I still enjoyed it and couldn't help myself with how cute it was!
I also watched that show as a kid, I would spend entire afternoons with it and enjoyed every second! especially when I was stuck at home from school sick And it was a shock for me as a 22 year old to meet the character designer of that show as my professor at my comic academy in Florence lmao
Honestly appreciate how real this guy is about gauging viewer interest that I went out of my way just mute the video & let the ad play out instead of skipping.
That show was always so soothing and just nice as a kid. I still think it’s a decent program for preschoolers-certainly better for their attention spans than Cocomelon.
@@Treppy_Gecky I feel very much the same and likewise feel that the fans were much too hard on it. Baby Looney Tunes likewise was still very funny and featured many of Bugs Bunny Daffy Duck and the others' classic routines, such as the "Duck! Rabbit" routine in an episode featuring Elmer Fudd.
Wait, is totally not Daffy Duck character actually the most well-executed character in this show? He at least seems to be the most likeable out of all the others based off of actual cohesiveness of the character. Also not-Daffy wouldn't just easily end an enemy because he wants to make a big show of saving the day to impress everyone, because he's an arrogant attention whore. He NEEDS his team and everyone else to see how "badass" he is way more than he wants to save the day.
His personality in the later old-school cartoons made that his central character, but he was initially thought of as a screwball prankster character, ironically the most "looney" out of all of the other characters.
He'd be the best character if more of jokes in the show were funny. The jokes being ass kinda fucked with him seeing how he's the main comedic relief (and I say main bc Slam, Rev, and Tech have "comedic" moments too)
@@Agente13840 idk Lola and She-devil probably Weird that Lexi and that piss colored rabbit aren't related i guess it didn't work out between Lola and Bugs lmfao
The sad thing is.. this show was actually good. People just judge without watching, it had surprisingly creative writing and the characters all fit well in their roles, without straying too far from their original's undertones. There are many shows which use characters from a different show in a different context as a spin off, some work some dont, this one did and yet everyone is hating on it.
these characters feel like what would happen if you gave a single teenage deviantart user in the early 2010s complete creative control over all character designs
It's kinda impressive how WB failed to turn the Looney Tunes into superheroes when Disney gave every character and their aunt a superhero alter-ego in the comics. Goofy? Superhero. Donald? Pretty sure he has at least three separate secret identities. His cousin Fethry Duck? Superhero. Zé Carioca? Superhero. Mickey himself? A hard-boiled detective. And everyone just accepted it.
Wasn't there a whole series of crossover comics between DC heroes and Loony Tunes characters? I know there's a Batman vs Elmer Fudd comic, but I've heard there's also... more like that.
Yeah plus space jam already showcased how interesting cartoon logic/physics can be utilized. Like a super hero loony tunes show where they all have powers based on cartoon logic would be super interesting
Disney was scared about Kingdom Hearts being a success and yet it pulled through. Mikey Mouse is royalty. So is Minnie. Donald is a mage, and Goofy is a knight. There's a giant manga series where characters actually are seen being unalived on page. Marketed for a PG audience.
To me... edgy bugs bunny... is just regular bugs bunny... Yup, just a little glimpse into my fucked up psyche. But I guess no one will ever understand... *sigh* ... all alone in my twisted mind...
You're telling me photo shopping glasses in, is more efficient than going out and buying a pair of glasses, which could then be written off on a tax return as a business expense?
Also, people who bring up the Ant Man "paradox" seem to miss that exploding out of things typically is not good for the exploder or the explodee. Same with teleportation. Yes, teleporting into someone could kill them. Or it could kill you. Turning intangible and vibrating your hand through someones chest could kill them, but it could cost your hand. Remember that we can brainstorm new uses for powers all day, but when you have to place your life on the line to test that theory, you might be less excited to shrink into that butthole.
Yeah. In the case of Ant Man and Thanos, Thanos's insides are likely just as tough as his outside, so Ant Man would be crushed inside Thanos, not Thanos exploding.
Also it causes far less consistency problems in world than speedsters who should be able to defeat most enemies and destroy most problems within a few minutes and in a way that basically only other speedsters or those that passively reality warp can stop. You kind of have to accept that in order for the story to be interesting characters often can't use their superpowers to their true potential(Flash for example could easily beat any of his non-speedster rogues so you would have him only fighting speedsters which would get boring imo).
The wild part about Tazmania being totally forgotten, is that I distinctly remember that around the time that show aired there was like this wild upswing in Taz merchandise at the time the show aired, I distinctly remember he was on tons of shit and was in tons of commercials and he just got a huge push from WB and then it feels like after the mid-90s he just kinda stopped existing and everyone immediately forgot about him.
Looney Toons definitely had a big 3 with Bugs, Daffy, and Taz People were obsessed with Taz back in the day, in the early aughts on the internet, he would consistently top character popularity polls
There’s something to be said about how much this show is hated since I have yet to see any r34 or otherwise of any of these characters. The more popular the show the more special art it gets, while I’m sure if I specifically looked I’d find it, of course I would, but the real test of it is that no popular artists every draw these characters, look at duck dodgers for a key example of a character everyone has drawn like the queen Martian. Lunatics Unleashed has a version of Lola bunny. When a version of Lola bunny doesn’t get unending fan art something has gone horribly wrong.
The "rule" in rule 34, isn't that porn made becomes popular, it's just that there is porn that exists. Rule 35 dictates that if no porn of a thing exists, it will be made. Usually by drawing a penis on the character in ms paint.
I'll admit it, I unironically would wake up early every Saturday to watch Loonatics Unleashed. I begged my mom to take me to the video store to rent the DVDs on multiple occasions. I was sad when it was cancelled. And being a child who hadn't been versed in funk music yet became a fan of Bootsy and Parliament as a whole as a direct result of him being in the show. I regret nothing.
As somebody who doesnt have undertale nostalgia, but undertale *_PTSD_* (the only, incorrect way to descrive this cause it AINT NOSTALGIA THATS SURE ENOUGH)... i can actually see the appeal of the show... ish?
I remember enjoying this show as a kid but I didn't discover my love for funk music until I was in high school, around 2014 or so. I LOVE Bootsy Collins! Had no idea he was in this show.
Assuming you mean the original cartoons from Looney Tunes / Merrie Melodies etc., from the 1930’s on: Yes they’re amazing cartoons, I grew up with the reruns in the 1980’s, I love it. Also love the occasional oddball episodes that are completely unique, once in a while, like I remember kitchen objects coming to life and singing together, for example
ive watched this video at least 42 times now. congratulations on being the parasite feeding off of my ad revenue, and thank you for the floods of dopamine that drown out the voices in my head
You know the concept of "Looney Tunes as superheroes" doesn't even sound like a bad idea on paper. Like imagine if, instead of having powers that basically equate to EYES THAT LIGHT UP! and FULL BATTLE ACTION! they were like normal people ala the Looney Tunes Show that transformed into characters with toon powers. Just tone down the selling toys stuff and try to make a more ernest superhero show. TMNT 2003 did it so why couldn't they?
@invader_guy1171 Tbh I'm torn on whether I think that, with these designs and overall aesthetic, this was and always will be doomed to fail, or if WB tried again but made the characters closer to their namesake descendants and bouncing off each other and foes with clever jokes and banter and zany situations that harken back to the old Slapstick humor, and maybe softer designs to sand off some of that early to mid 2000s Shadow the Hedgehog brand of edge, if this concept could work and if people might be more receptive to this idea, or at least willing to let it cook for a pilot or maybe a new animated special, now.
I swear to god Rob Paulsen is haunting me. The SECOND that road runner rip-off started speaking I immediately recognized who he was.

I am glad someone found it in the deepest depths WB cartoons. Also, does anyone remember that cartoon with the sentient coconut. WTF was that show anyway?
@@briannawallace4085It wasn't copying spongebob. Why do people keep coming to that off the mark conclusion? It may have been bad but saying it was copying spongebob doesn't make any sense.

You can tell they were trying to make this a Teen Titans style show, but they really should have gone the action comedy route. Imagine the goofy, egotistical and outright insane looney tunes trying to ne action heroes. That sounds hilarious
_teen titans go season 3 episode 20: squash and stretch_ it’s only a minute out of the episode, but it has toonforce-powered versions of the goofy, egotistical, psychopathic ttg titans try to murderize a squirrel that stole their bowl of mixed nuts.
Apparently they tried to take themselves less seriously in season 2. They made villains out of other Looney Tunes characters instead of making generic new ones, and even tried implementing some of the classic gags too Of course, it was too little, and too late
One of the best parts of Duck Dodgers was the theme song. Tom Jones went so much harder than he needed to. So much harder than the show had the right to. He took it straight to 200% and then he took it further.
I'll admit as a kid the marketing worked on me, I was the exact sort of kids who wanted edgy superhero looney tunes. I never got to watch it, it was never on when I could watch TV, but I had a poster of them on my wall and was always curious about the show.
When you're a kid, everything is new, so a lot of kids don't have taste. Maybe some do, but most haven't experienced really good content often enough to form opinions about why something works. But kids do recognize genuinely funny and entertaining content. Show them series with humor, imagination, great art, or heart and they'll gravitate towards works naturally. All it takes is having someone who cares to present it to them.
Never got to watch it either but it did interest me. I wouldn't watch it only because it's deemed bad, but if I had seen it marketed without any context, I would've been on it. Closest equivalent I had as a kid was Monster High 😂😂 jk
Funny enough in the New Looney Tunes episode "One Carroter in Search of an Artist" they actually DID make fun of Loonatics Unleashed with Ace Bunny making a cameo and Bugs saying "Okay, now you're just messing with me!"

You know what would’ve made this show work? If the Looney Tunes, the original Looney Tunes were placed in the grim dark, cyberpunk world this show had and defeated super villains with their typical cartoon antics and toon force powers, that would be hilarious. Imagine Bugs fighting a super serious Darkseid figure by painting a tunnel and running into it, making said villain try to chase after him only to slam into the wall.
I would watch that. Hell I'd pay money to see that in theaters.

@@nathh1998It was called "A New Bunny" by TLG Media
If this were a full on parody show it’d be kinda fun. If Coyote’s new weapons would just all backfire immediately, Roadrunner had an attention span of about three seconds before he gets distracted, Daffy’s overconfidence gets him flattened first in every fight, Bugs cannot be bothered to give a shit and solves the problem in the most absurdly simple method (like if pointing out that the Vikings can’t invade because there’s a ‘no invasion’ sign actually makes them go home) it’d be mildly entertaining.
That would be funny lol
I do think though that an "every episode is a different au what if" would have been awesome. Like, you get an episode with this futuristic hero theme, with the things you said... and next episode is like, a cowboy theme episode. Then a heist ep. And so on...
And Lexi would just… exist
@birdboy16 what if they actually used that as a joke? Like, she's show up in group shots and the opening, but never does anything, never says anything, and no one ever acknowledges her existence.

7:13 I'm so glad they brought back Samurai Jack, just to finally give his story a beautiful ending. Also, the cinematography of those new episodes is phenomenal. My favourite part is the fight in the snow. The way everything gradually disappears, covered by snow, only becoming visible when the characters move behind trees etc. And the music was amazing too.

One litte thing that really sucks is that their first draft of a superpowered Wile E. Coyote having regeneration actually sounds way better than what we got.
We don't remember Coyote for his technical expertise or being a "super genius". After all, he ordered most of his gadgets from ACME! We remember him for being a walking slapstick magnet.
"A walking slapstick magnet" Ah, I see what you did there.
Could have worked if done right. Coyote did put together simple improvised gadgets from time to time, all of which backfired. But since this whole show is a dumpster fire 'if done right' is a bit of a moot point.
Wile E Coyote being prone to self-destructive acts of violence that leave him in literal pieces, only for the regenerative factor to drag him back together again.
"We don't remember Coyote for his technical expertise or being a 'super genius'. "
Speak for you self. Even if he ordered his parts from Acme I imagine he didn't even need instructions just the supplies my self.

Honestly, from how the pitch footage looked like, this show could have worked if it was more of a parody of how reboots were made to be as gritty and realistic as possible. Like have the plot literally be the Looney Tunes being warped and transformed by the WB themselves into their dark counterparts to appeal to modern audiences at the time, and make jokes about how hard the Tunes are trying to take themselves seriously.
I've seen some other comments about what they could've done and to sum-up what those other comments and you are saying is that they should've lean into the comedy more and not take itself so seriously. Which I agree.
Yeah, slightly edgier Funny Animal Characters Are a Superhero Team was already a supercommon trope since back when TMNT made bank, and by the 90s a bunch of WB properties were already riding the early train of meta-humor getting popular. Something genuine but a bit more tongue-in-cheek/self-aware might have done alright; redoing the characters for a different vibe already worked with Tiny Toons.
It is hard for me to imagine how 460 people think that would be any better than what the show is doing.
I honestly think leaning into the comedy ruins the shows spirit. People are so desperate for "deconstructions" and parodies because they cannot physically handle being genuine.
Teens Titans GO! did an episode of that trope.
The looney tunes show (2011) is genuinely one of the funniest shows of my childhood and it seems like they really learned their mistake and how to balance what's popular and what's classic
By making it as boring as possible
@@newdawnhorizon9879 L take
@@newdawnhorizon9879in your opinion. It's pretty funny now as adults but I think it was definitely boring when I was little. A lot of the jokes went over my head.
The Looney Toons Show reminds me of the older "classic" Hanna Barbara cartoons like Flintstones and Jetsons. Those shows also have a lot of humor aimed towards adults while being kind of slow for kids. Idk if that's what they were going for, but that's the impression I always got from it.
You're remembering the good parts. Lots of the episodes were basically that part in family guy where Brian's dating that dumb girl.
I honestly wouldn’t mind them revisiting this as intentionally goofy and over the top. That back and forth between a bugs bunny in spandex and a fucking cyber Viking that basically amounted to “I’ll kill you all” “Nuh uh” definitely makes me feel like there’s untapped potential for something really funny here
Looney Tunes Show should've made a reference to it, maybe even a full episode. The new Space Jam would've been actually good if they made fun of that
I don't know, that sounds like the "Teen Titans Go" approach. Then again, maybe TTG wouldn't be so reviled if Cartoon Network didn't aggressively overmarket it for 5 years with 3 hour time block dedicated to nothing but that show, so who's to say if it could actually succeed?
@@Unownshipper Thing is the original TT also had whole episodes that were just jokes so making a show that's more comedy focus isn't inherently bad, plus this was a show that tried to be serious but also tried to be funny and failed at both

@@UnownshipperWho cares if its reviled? The kids and general audiences love it, they have NINE SEASONS and counting.

Yeah, the road runner should only ever say "meep-meep"
Much cooler idea: have this iteration of road runner be mute and have them use sign language (or some other form of non verbal communication)
Like imagine how sick that would be
The roadrunner does talk in the Looney Tunes comics though, but I understand the jarring nature of him doing so. At least they have him simply talking fast instead of Shakespearean.
I saw this show as a kid but it was exactly one episode and when I went to school the next day I talked to my friends about it and literally nobody knew what I was talking about. I never saw it or heard about it again so I just assumed it was like a wild daydream or gas leak or something and it didn't actually exist.

Dude it's so good
Mall pants.
I miss that show so much
you can tell that they REALLY wanted this to be Ninja Turtles. "Anthropomorphic Animal teenagers who like Pizza and stop Villains"
I think the best way they could have done the characters:
Taz: Still babbles nonsense, but is a brilliant inventor. His downfall is that he babbles nonsense, so the team has to actually figure out how to use things (thus also allowing for exposition on the tech as the team figures out how to use them).
Duck: Still give him teleportation powers, but galaxy-brain level ADHD so he can't always concentrate on where he needs to go.
Coyote: Make him invulnerable but incredibly single-minded so he unnecessarily risks the team because he forgets that they aren't as protected as him.
Bugs: Max charisma, absolutely zero fighting ability.
Lola: Basically as the sitcom show - badass with sub-kindergarten levels of social awareness.
Roadrunner: Pride incarnate, thinks he's better than everyone else, but also tactically brilliant so the team somewhat pumps his ego by following his plans but then knocks him down a peg verbally.
I was basically thinking something similar when he mentioned redesigning the characters. Like making coyote a moron who stumbles ass backwards into solutions in contrast to the original who is a self proclaimed genius that fails at everything.
You clearly have put more thought into this than they did. I want to steal some of these ideas and fit them into TTRPGs somehow.
Don't let your hubris get the better of you. Don't try to make the Loonatics good. It's not worth it, man.
It could, in theory at least, be funny if a Taz descendant had a Groot type thing going on with his team, where he talks the nonsensical Taz-ese, but everybody else just understands him perfectly anyway.
I would want Road Runner to be extremely lazy and for Bugs to have jokes that the rest of the team thinks are lame

The idea was solid. It was the era of Static Shock, Batman Beyond, and Spider-man Unlimited. Black-clad angsty futuristic versions of our favorite superheroes were all the rage. But, like Spider-man Unlimited, it missed what made the shows enjoyable, solid character work and interesting plays on the classic format.
I agree
They took the show too seriously. Just have Ace act like his ancestor, and Rev do a "MeepBeep" with edge and it could have found a niche
It sounds like they also entirely replaced the shows, which is the biggest thing for me. With Spiderman, you can bet there'd be like 20 media options to turn to if one show didn't play out, but if this was truly a replacement and not a spinoff, I can't believe they took that risk
Don't forget shadow the hedgehog
I thought the episode where they visit Rev's home town in the desert and Tech E. Keeps getting accidentally killed was literally a direct play on their original format. And also Danger Duck always trying to one up Ace and acting like the main character just like Daffy did with Bugs.

I remember this show because my family rented it from Family Video, and we kept it for so long that financially the late fees would’ve crippled us. We never returned to that store and it has since closed down, so now we just own a copy of Lunatics
This happened to us too (with an army men game) for months we thought we'd returned it and they were wrong.
Eventually I found it at home and took it back, owed like $80ish, but they waived the fee in exchange for whatever mum was willing to give them that night (I think we paid $20 or something).
I assume they knew we'd just change stores to a competitor
I have an acquaintance that grew up without his mom and his dad had autism/adhd plus a bunch of childhood traumas he never got help for. He basically neglected his kid (who is said acquaintance, friend of a friend, cool guy but I only see him at my friend's birthday) to play videogames/work on his computers and would "rent" videos to keep him occupied. The dad would rent videos for his kid but always forgot to return them so they ended up with a stack of videotapes from now defunct places. A lot of obscure classic stuff too. There must be some lost media there, I'm sure.
To explain the "2 seasons" thing, most animated shows will get their second season announced just as its releasing, due to how the process of animation takes a while. Typically they do so if they expect the series to be a success upon release. Which honestly makes this even more sad that they somehow expected this series to be enough of a hit for two seasons.
With a worse, even more baffling example of that being Velma🤢
Velma syndrome.
This also used to happen to terrible Comedy Central cartoons
This is the kind of art style I love. I absolutely love 2000s edginess, and this is no exception.

the show is not that bad actually, and honestly not even edgy at all
I remember watching this when I was a kid in Mexico, the Spanish dub had incredible voice actors so I thought it was bonkers.
FACTS
Real facts is the only reason people hated it is Disney spent billions on a smear campaign of it and Nickelodeon spent hundreds of millions smearing it because Disney was actually nearly dead as a company because they only show they had at that time that was getting any real audience was Kim Possible but Cartoon Network had a serious competitor for a female spy in high school and that was Totally Spies which also had a Red head cheerleader and a blond girl and a cute slight dark skin Asian girl and actually came out around the same time and was far better animation. Actually I think totally spies actually came out first. If you look at the animation Totally spies feels far better while Kim Possible feels really antiquated and feels way too much like a 1990s show than a mid 2000s show and Kim had older crappy spy gear especially with a giant bulky Palm Pilot PDA Beeper which lets be honest no kid at that time even knew what that crap was making the show kind of stupid but Totally spies used chap stick lasers and stuff like a tie that could turn into a sword or a high heels that turned into skies or roller blades or jet boots and actually felt like a real spy show while Kim Possible would just call up random people while they were working and get free rides everywhere which sounded extremely stupid like which cargo company is going to allow a teen age girl to just hitch a ride in the back of a cargo plane and jump out risking that plane losing air pressure and completely crashing?! Its actually stupid. Nickelodeon was relying upon the same 2 things its still barely alive to this day relying upon to keep itself barely alive meaning sponge bob and Avatar the Last Airbender but then those shows were doing really good but lets be honest Nickelodeon died with Avatar the Last Airbender and Danny Phantom which both ended in America in 2004. Disney and Nickelodeon had no space shows well aside from Disney having the Lilo and Stitch which that franchise was mostly shut down in 2003 and Buz Lightyear of Star Command which holly shit that was a garbage show and watching yea it was really bad but Cartoon Network had Star Wars which lets be honest was the entire Space Franchise at the time and Cartoon Network had every single Super Hero show at the time completely controlling all space and heroes and were combining them into another program they owned which destroyed Mickey Mouse and caused Disney to file for bankruptcy 3 times called Looney Toons. Disney was shit faced scared so they spent from what I know of at leas $2 billion on a smear campaign of the show. That "12 year old kid" was a blatant lie it was Disney doing a massive smear campaign out of fear of complete destruction because they were scared shitless of the show.
@@jordancambridge4106Bro. This paragraph went at like a million miles an hour, that I don't know what I even read.
@jordancambridge4106 have you heard of concise statements
@@Guymanbot97 He claims the show was sabotaged, goes on a bizarre tangent about totally spies, and then claims Disney both has no money and simultaneously 2 billion dollars.
In the original intro when the cartoonist leaves the room and the ink bottle spills all over the Bugs and the gang, I wanted that to be the entire explanation of how they are now 'dark' and 'edgy'. Forget the whole descendants thing, just have the ink run down and the characters suddenly start moving and complaining "Hey! What just happened?!" and then have the reveal that they are all redesigned and even have them do some critiquing of their new looks. There could have been a bunch of meta jokes where they ask if this is really what kids are into nowadays.
I'm so disappointed that isn't what happened, because it sounds so Looney Toons
that would be so much better than the stupid "descendants" shtick they went along with
YES! That would be so much more entertaining!
as someone who's seen the show just once out of sheer boredom and desperation I have to point out that the show completely missed the joke by pointing out that the studio in charge ripped off the whole Disney afternoon team dynamic which to be completely fair was getting worn out by the mid 90's, a full decade before this show ever saw the light of day. on that note here's a Rodney Dangerfield one liner which sums up the whole Loonatics Unleashed.
" we did everything we could but he pulled through anyway."
That would have been a much better and funnier parody.
"This is not a show, this is a f**king Robot Chicken skit."
That's pretty damn accurate 👌
I see you everywhere.
Seems to be a constant with hated reboots of popular franchises.
I swear I remember Robot Chicken parodying this show once.
I felt the same about the Rescue Rangers Movie last year.
A Robot Chicken sketch would've actually been enjoyable.
The creation of Loonatics was also likely inspired by the success of another Kids WB staple that was in itself a dark, dystopian, futuristic update on a long-lasting, popular character: Batman Beyond.
I remember Tazmania. It was like Taz had a family where most of them were actually somewhat sane compared to Taz himself.
Most people remember Tazmania.
Yeah, it compensated for the main character not talking by creating a huge supporting cast. It does raise the question, is Taz just nonverbal or mentally challenged in this universe?
@@TheAlexSchmidt Good question since his family could speak clearly.

I actually watched this as a kid, and I vividly remember feeling bored and confused out of my mind while doing so. My family had checked the first season out at the library and for some reason I watched the whole thing. All I remembered before watching this video was them riding in vehicles and fighting some sort of anime space wizard at the end, with the first season ending in a cliffhanger. What a weird show.
LMAO
Got to admit though that season 1 cliffhanger where we were left to wonder which Loonatic was the father of Lexi's child was a bold step for the show to take, and I appreciate the effort to give the show a unique identity.
Yeah I watched this on KidsWB just to slog through it to watch better shows like Tom & Jerry Tales. I was even entertained with Johnny Test, but it was the first season those days. This show on the other hand was boring.
Sorry you guys are probably just not edgy enough to appreciate the edginess
@@JamesChessman guy the loonatics aren't gonna sleep with you
8:39 Later on, because of the "no blood" rule, there was an episode about a family of metal-eating robots that thought they were human and at the end started eating each other and honestly that made this episode so much fucked up than it would've been if they were just humans that Jack had to fight
As someone who grew up in this time period, I can confirm that they did in fact mention Huggbees Gamer Mode in this show.
Samurai Jack was a gigantic part of my childhood, it was a different breed of minimalistic design and dynamic storytelling that my young self had never seen before. The art was insanely efficient, with all the fat of character designs cut off, and the camera work was always so well thought out.
Hearing the edgy buggs bunny say "What's up doc" was like several punches to the face.

I saw Baby Looney Tunes as a child and I can say it is one of the best little kid’s shows ever made imo. It was finally something I could relate to in terms of problems such as not being able to read the clock or thinking adults were supposed to never make mistakes. Of course I simultaneously enjoyed looney tunesn in other ways such as various vhs compilations we bought
Agreed. I always loved it throughout every stage of growing up! It was one of those shows for kids that didn't talk down to you. Besides, as I grew up I still enjoyed it and couldn't help myself with how cute it was!
I also watched that show as a kid, I would spend entire afternoons with it and enjoyed every second! especially when I was stuck at home from school sick
And it was a shock for me as a 22 year old to meet the character designer of that show as my professor at my comic academy in Florence lmao
I remember being shamed by my primary school teacher as a kid for not being able to read the clock. Watching that episode made me feel so comforted
I kinda remember watching Baby Looney Tunes back when I was a little boy.
They drank beer in that show lmao
Honestly appreciate how real this guy is about gauging viewer interest that I went out of my way just mute the video & let the ad play out instead of skipping.
I think if they just brought like 50% more energy to the names like they did with Slam Tasmanian they'd be ridiculous enough to be cool again.
I have to defend Baby Looney Tunes as they were always there for me when I was at home sick.
I'm thankful that someone other than me liked that show, it truly deserved better.
That show was always so soothing and just nice as a kid. I still think it’s a decent program for preschoolers-certainly better for their attention spans than Cocomelon.
@@Treppy_Gecky I feel very much the same and likewise feel that the fans were much too hard on it. Baby Looney Tunes likewise was still very funny and featured many of Bugs Bunny Daffy Duck and the others' classic routines, such as the "Duck! Rabbit" routine in an episode featuring Elmer Fudd.
@Stardust_Wizard Facts
I strangely know exactly what you are talking about.
Huggbees is like that really funny functionally alcoholic friend that can make the most irrelevant and pointless discourse absolutely riveting
Wait, is totally not Daffy Duck character actually the most well-executed character in this show? He at least seems to be the most likeable out of all the others based off of actual cohesiveness of the character.
Also not-Daffy wouldn't just easily end an enemy because he wants to make a big show of saving the day to impress everyone, because he's an arrogant attention whore. He NEEDS his team and everyone else to see how "badass" he is way more than he wants to save the day.
His personality in the later old-school cartoons made that his central character, but he was initially thought of as a screwball prankster character, ironically the most "looney" out of all of the other characters.
He'd be the best character if more of jokes in the show were funny. The jokes being ass kinda fucked with him seeing how he's the main comedic relief (and I say main bc Slam, Rev, and Tech have "comedic" moments too)
The best thing about this show is that the existance of descendants for all these looney tunes characters mean that they have all canonically f*cked.
It's always the innocent looking ones that have done it

@@Agente13840 idk Lola and She-devil probably

The sad thing is.. this show was actually good. People just judge without watching, it had surprisingly creative writing and the characters all fit well in their roles, without straying too far from their original's undertones. There are many shows which use characters from a different show in a different context as a spin off, some work some dont, this one did and yet everyone is hating on it.

It's kinda impressive how WB failed to turn the Looney Tunes into superheroes when Disney gave every character and their aunt a superhero alter-ego in the comics.
Goofy? Superhero. Donald? Pretty sure he has at least three separate secret identities. His cousin Fethry Duck? Superhero. Zé Carioca? Superhero. Mickey himself? A hard-boiled detective.
And everyone just accepted it.
Wasn't there a whole series of crossover comics between DC heroes and Loony Tunes characters? I know there's a Batman vs Elmer Fudd comic, but I've heard there's also... more like that.
Yeah plus space jam already showcased how interesting cartoon logic/physics can be utilized. Like a super hero loony tunes show where they all have powers based on cartoon logic would be super interesting

Also, people who bring up the Ant Man "paradox" seem to miss that exploding out of things typically is not good for the exploder or the explodee. Same with teleportation. Yes, teleporting into someone could kill them. Or it could kill you. Turning intangible and vibrating your hand through someones chest could kill them, but it could cost your hand. Remember that we can brainstorm new uses for powers all day, but when you have to place your life on the line to test that theory, you might be less excited to shrink into that butthole.
Well said
Also, teleporting inside of a person and making them explode is like one of the most traumatic things I can think of.
Yeah. In the case of Ant Man and Thanos, Thanos's insides are likely just as tough as his outside, so Ant Man would be crushed inside Thanos, not Thanos exploding.
Also it causes far less consistency problems in world than speedsters who should be able to defeat most enemies and destroy most problems within a few minutes and in a way that basically only other speedsters or those that passively reality warp can stop. You kind of have to accept that in order for the story to be interesting characters often can't use their superpowers to their true potential(Flash for example could easily beat any of his non-speedster rogues so you would have him only fighting speedsters which would get boring imo).

There’s something to be said about how much this show is hated since I have yet to see any r34 or otherwise of any of these characters. The more popular the show the more special art it gets, while I’m sure if I specifically looked I’d find it, of course I would, but the real test of it is that no popular artists every draw these characters, look at duck dodgers for a key example of a character everyone has drawn like the queen Martian. Lunatics Unleashed has a version of Lola bunny. When a version of Lola bunny doesn’t get unending fan art something has gone horribly wrong.
Porn addict
The show literally emphasizes that the edgy anthropomorphic bunny is a “master with his hands”.
How is it possible?
The "rule" in rule 34, isn't that porn made becomes popular, it's just that there is porn that exists. Rule 35 dictates that if no porn of a thing exists, it will be made. Usually by drawing a penis on the character in ms paint.

You know the concept of "Looney Tunes as superheroes" doesn't even sound like a bad idea on paper. Like imagine if, instead of having powers that basically equate to EYES THAT LIGHT UP! and FULL BATTLE ACTION! they were like normal people ala the Looney Tunes Show that transformed into characters with toon powers. Just tone down the selling toys stuff and try to make a more ernest superhero show. TMNT 2003 did it so why couldn't they?
@invader_guy1171 Tbh I'm torn on whether I think that, with these designs and overall aesthetic, this was and always will be doomed to fail, or if WB tried again but made the characters closer to their namesake descendants and bouncing off each other and foes with clever jokes and banter and zany situations that harken back to the old Slapstick humor, and maybe softer designs to sand off some of that early to mid 2000s Shadow the Hedgehog brand of edge, if this concept could work and if people might be more receptive to this idea, or at least willing to let it cook for a pilot or maybe a new animated special, now.

I'll admit as a kid the marketing worked on me, I was the exact sort of kids who wanted edgy superhero looney tunes.
I never got to watch it, it was never on when I could watch TV, but I had a poster of them on my wall and was always curious about the show.
When you're a kid, everything is new, so a lot of kids don't have taste. Maybe some do, but most haven't experienced really good content often enough to form opinions about why something works. But kids do recognize genuinely funny and entertaining content. Show them series with humor, imagination, great art, or heart and they'll gravitate towards works naturally. All it takes is having someone who cares to present it to them.
Never got to watch it either but it did interest me. I wouldn't watch it only because it's deemed bad, but if I had seen it marketed without any context, I would've been on it.
