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.
@@gokaiorange9576 It good for a laugh. But I just got tired of very quick. Some the characters that show teen titan go. I wish they show up on teen titan.
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.
@@Pipeloluwa-z7x Honestly I get the feeling that's probably what pisses WB off the most about all of this. The thing they've been treating as their biggest failure actually managed to earn a niche fandom over the years, whereas the thing they've been cramming down everyone's throat is still widely hated X'D
Imagine in an alternate universe where loonatics unleashed would be the show running for 10 years while ttg was the one that got cancelled after 2 seasons. I would honestly love to live in that timeline rather than the one we are currently in..
Absolutely mess of timeline that would be, can't think of ttg robin the goat not existing after season 2 ..... Before declaring himself better than tt robin...
Actually if it Got cut by season 2 then , the plot of ending would be Titans would be separate for real now because of robin doomed the team wait oh well they're back... Haha unlimited adventure of ttg exploits nice ending imo
I'd love to live in an alternate universe where 'Swat Kats' ran for 5 seasons, 'Teen Titans' gets A 6th season, 'Megas XLR' ran for 6 seasons, 'Powerpuff Girls 2016' never happened, 'Thundercats Roar' never happened, 'Velma' never happened, and new 'Looney Tunes' shorts would be shown in theaters.
Warner Bros.: "We're gonna have the Teen Titans crossover with the Loonatics Unleashed." (Episode has the Loonatics die from a meteor) That's not a crossover, that's you throwing a meteor at something that not many people would know about.
Teen Titans Go really does seem to have made shitting on others it's brand, hasn't it? Like.. Man.. The number of times they shit on the original Teen Titans (multiple episodes and even an entire movie dedicated to "showing us why Go is better") and other series is ridiculous.. And now going after other shows too? This really has gotten out of hand with how petty and immature it all is..
They've BEEN going after other shows, there was a crossover with Thundercats ROAR (yeah, remember THAT travesty?) where they shit on the much better remake, AND used the og Liono (apologies if I spelt that wrong, I'm not a huge TC fan) to call the fans (who were rightfully pissed about ANOTHER TTG clone) VERY IMMATURE NAMES!
@@otakudragonlover2563you forgot to mention that they actually mocked OG Pantro's voice actor's death by having the skeletons of him in the background of the ending bit of the episode
@@shawnwarrynn8609 At least that's just the same series making fun of itself. And the same fans of the series. And the same writer sometimes. This is a franchise making fun of another completely unrelated franchise.
Honestly I think the flash Loonatics parodies where the most mockery the show needed, it doesn't need to be a joke years later after everyone forgot about it
in italian Danger Duck and Rev Runner are also voiced by the same person (Alessio De Filippis a.k.a. the immature assh*le who cried on instagram about the Looney Tunes the day the earth blew movie up due to the fact that the dubbing studio initially wanted Marco Mete and Massimiliano Alto reprising their roles as Daffy and Porky from the original Looney Tunes to the season 4 of Looney Tunes Cartoons and also the current voice of Daffy Duck, Lincon Loud and also Rigby from Regular Show)
I subbed, and I agree. The hate for Loonatics feels rather. . . *forced.* Heck, I wasn't even alive when it came out, and I grew up watching TMNT around 2012. Looking back at Loonatics now?... I think it deserves another chance. Thank You for humbling Warner Bros. about this BS hate, Gokai.
Or maybe that was Warner Bros plan to keep Loonatics Unleashed alive. It was considered mediocre when it first came out, not hated on though like Warner Bros has been making it. It was just "Eh", not 😡. It could be a gaslighting technique to make the new generation like it.
Reminder that when we first saw this premiere many years ago, it was very well being pushed as being the PERMANENT replacement for the original Looney Tunes, meant co completely erase the original Back then, it was straight-up cultural vandalism, as opposed to the seemingly harmless relic of an era that younger generations now see it as
@@alessandrobaggi6129 I don't personally mind him not having guns even if it is against the name since he's Elmer FUDD (look up the word "fudd") I am mostly disappointed that he didn't have much screentime or major roles. Still a banger show, a great way to reboot a classic!
Loonatics appeared in the wrong year, after all many complained about the series because it moved away from what Looney Tunes was before. But now that superheroes are more seen and popular, they can at least take advantage of the concept again and work on them better this time. But no, WB wants to feel smart by giving hate to those series and say: See? We hate our product, we're cool 🤪
Yeah, my belief is that Loonatics was a victim of when Warner Bros. was making too many spin-off ideas to try and capitalize on the characters while trying to introduce them to new characters (I mean, just look at Baby Looney Tunes, a spin-off worse than what people say Loonatics Unleashed was).
it would be cool if it was like Freakazoid, a action hero show that at times acts more like a parody of the Superhero genre while at other times it really does feel like an actual superhero show
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.
It's become more clear that WB hated Loonatics Unleashed more that the audience themselves. Especially the response I've seen online that say it wasn't that had of a show. Now compare that to TTG that's been running for almost a "decade" now and there's still more of a negative response from viewers who still bother to watch it.
As much as I still think that Loonatics was and always will be an insane idea for a premise, at least they were trying to be experimental. TTG has been nothing but WB's safety net for years now, Velma was pretending experimental but instead just spent its runtime complaining, and don't even get me started on the cancelations.
You wanna know whats funny? WB hates Loonatics for being an edgy superhero remake of a safe slapstick cartoon. But just adores TTG because its a safe slapstick remake of an edgy superhero cartoon. Talk about hypocrisy.
@@majosmajos6822 Scrappy actually gets a lot of unnecessary hate. In fact, Scrappy was actually _QUITE_ popular for his time, and the "Scrappy hate" became a thing after the Live Action Scooby Doo Movie, which was notably produced by a guy who absolutely _HATED_ Scrappy for some reason.
@@jeremyriley1238 To be frank, a person can make something good if they like what they are making. The guy in question didn't like Scrappy, and started a smear campaign based around hating the character. Also, he was working under _Disney_ when Directing Guardians of the Galaxy... And Disney tends to dislike failures.
@@Victor-056a little earlier than that. Cartoon Network did have CN City short where you have various CN characters just straight up disrespecting Scrappy at the front door. With Scrappy getting more and more angrier with every dismissal from the CN crew.
Now they can't use that bullshit "but it's been 10 years stop hating" excuse because it can be followed with "they'll stop hating when TTG stops hating on shows that are no longer in production FOR YEARS."
It’s because it was considered an extreme change of pace compared to the original loony tunes, and reception of it was small, but it’s not necessarily a bad series, it just came out at a bad time
I feel like Huggbees’s video on Loonatics opened up my eyes to how WB and the internet in general has beaten the “Loonatics was terrible” joke into the dirt.
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.
Absolute worst take, people would be inspired to make such a show relive again in some other media imagine as a writer your show's hate or criticism turns itself into propaganda that lives in other minds rentless which got stretched benefited for this long having a featured movie in theaters, many crossovers and lot of remarkable moments occasionally
I dont understand the hate for loonatics, honestly its an ok show with some problems here and there. If WB wants to mock a bad ip, they did , so why not make fun of the 2016 ppg or velma or Joker 2.
Maybe they want newer generations to get into it. Lots of old stuff gains new audiences later that love it (Persona, Arrested Development, Archer, Scott Pilgrim, etc.)
They actually did an episode with the 2016 PPG reboot (with the Titans making fun of the girls). Velma and Joker 2 I doubt they will do since TTG is aimed at kids, and Velma and the two Joker films are aimed at adult audiences.
That is true, with the biggest example of what NOT to do is that if fans of the original show complain, then make fun of them in an episode. If TTG really wanted to avoid fan hate, then they should have grown some spines and ignored the hate they were getting, as by making episodes like Slade and the various crossovers with characters like Freakazoid, Beetlejuice, and even Thundercats Roar, all they are doing is kicking the hornet's nest, and while it has been successful for them, there will come a time when it will come back to sting them.
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.
Ironic. A spin-off from the 2010s of an action superhero dramedy from the 2000s that turned it into a silly comedy, is doing a commentary on an action superhero dramedy from the 2000s based on a silly comedy.
@ohhellwhereami2574 oh yeah. And Loonatics treats itself like a sequel. Forgot. Follow-up. They're both follow-ups that do the opposite genre of the original. That's the connection.
@kylemorello4787 no... Ttg got switch up real quick it's so apparently obvious, they don't follow up anything it's alternate dimension side story stuff from beginning nothing connects to teen Titans that had an ending already
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.😓
That's basically what WB puts out now. Either it's shows with Deadpool humor, or it's so "adult" that it's inaccessible to children. Nothing in between like they used to.
Heck i hate that prick but i wouldnt go out of my way to make something cartoon or game or movie just to put all my hate and kill him unceremonias like that in a very forced way
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp Not everything WB puts out nowadays is bad. Also, you're being sensitive about adult cartoons. Being inaccessible too children is not the problem with a lot of them.
@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.
@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".
Honestly we can just agree and understand that Teen Titans Go really love meeting every WB Characters instead of just comedically doing their own things like from seasons 1 - 4 and defeating crimes and all but instead meeting celebrities and fiction characters. Plus they always ruined everything and being witty on other folks
"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 think these strange and different takes on classic characters should be tried, even if they fail. Take risks! That's how you make art! 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.
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.
Loonatics Unleashed may not have been the best show, but it at least tried to be something and didn't crap on what came before. Teen Titans Go is just a lame amalgamation of much better shows that was given way more life than it deserved
I want Loonatics Unleashed to come back to. Heck, I want to see the 2003 Teen Titans team up with the Loonatics and kind of want to see Ace go through the same thing Robin did when he became Slade's apprentice. Either Ace or Duck, I'd be fine with either turning evil. I just want a season 3
OMG! i wanna see both groups go through what raven did when she found out she could actually stop time which froze everything including her own friends!
@zombiekillo61704 I don't know if I'd trust WB animation to handle it though since they have really lost their touch. Maybe in the form of a comic adaptation bringing back some of the original writers.
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.
I was mostly turning a blind eye to their crap but now I absolutely despise them for doing this episode, i ain't gonna obsess over it. But Loonatics Unleashed didn't deserve to be bashed like this.
The reason was due to the pilot (which was really a pitch considering there was no pilot episode and just concept art). This was established a few years before the initial show.
Considering how apparently Scrappy Doo was hated in an attempt to shill Elmyra, could it be argued that the same virtually happened here with Loonatics vs TTG?
@ Unfortunately, I don’t remember where exactly I heard about it, but I think it might’ve been in an interview with Charlie Adler or some of the staff involved with Tiny Toons. Wish I could remember where I heard it.
3:41 In this scene, the 2011 lion frustrated inside the cave is the feeling of the product, because a member of Teen Titan Go made Thunder Cat 2011 and is frustrated with the failure.
Kind of glad to see more people are appreciating Loonatics Unleashed more. I mean, it's far from a perfect show. But it's fun, has some clever ideas, it could work.
7:43......That was the moment I straight up dropped my phone, mumbling to myself "She could've just been called Crow, which is SIMILAR to a Raven", and questioned my life choices.
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.
Ngl, speaking of "Looney Tunes", I bet it was the toxic fanbase of Looney Tunes that put TTG up to making that crossover episode, their hatred for Loonatics is somehow giving me the urge to declare war on that fanbase like how any Loonatics fan besides myself would lol.
I never understood why Loonatics got so much hate in the first place. 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.
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.
@@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002 Ironic for I actually love the Loonatics Unleashed, just never got into the later episodes for I had a job at the time :|
I will admit this episode and what I've seen of TTG has made me appreciate Loonatics Unleashed more. At least the Loonatics act their age and like heroes while this version of the TT are immature jerks.
Yeah... Teen Titans Go is too exhausting to watch, and it represents a sad reality about Warner Brothers... what is it, you ask?... I dunno, maybe the fact they're not the same anymore?.. if they can't be bothered to give a damn, then I can't either.
They are dying so what does it matter? CN days are numbered and this show will down in history as a cancer since nobody sane likes it. Meanwhile Lunatics will remain since it has fans and the show is actualy enjoyable. Quite frankly i doubt WB will remain because they have no idea how to handle their own properties or make new ones.
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.
Idc Loonatics Unleashed was legit bad ass. It legitimately doesn't deserve hate at all literally nice 3 seasons ended well, amazing character development in more than just being toons. This is just the passion from a fan who literally use to watch it every Saturday morning.
How dare they use Teen Titans Go of all shows to mock Loonatic Unleashed? Season 1 was amazing, season 2 a bit less but it still ahd good moments, it wasn't perfect but it was pretty good for the time but they should have sticked with the season 1 formula, and maybe make Lexi less of a hypocrite and stop brain blasting Duck for minor stuff when she got away with not even a slap on the wrist for causing a war with the Martians by the rest of the team sans Duck. Teen Titans Go should have died years ago, while Loonatics deserve a mighty comeback.
No..at least TTG has an audience with its target demographic. Velma may not be as spiteful (tbh I haven’t even seen Velma) but it doesn’t have much of an audience other than a few hate watchers.
I feel like Shadow The Hedgehog shows that you can come back from being very edgy and become a good game series/character. So why can't the same be done for Loonatics Unleashed? I remember finding it fun when I saw it on Saturday mornings. It wouldn't be bad to give it another shot instead of them constantly dunking on it. I should mention that I don't fully remember the show as well due to seeing it so long ago, but I remember it being pretty decent and fun.
Fun fact, cartoon network did said something "positive" towards scrappy in a tweet back in may 20, posibly after people realizing he wasnt that bad and stuff.
@@Walid-mk4jo i could send it to you here, but youtube dosent like that, but also you can still find that tweet easly, in the cartoonetwork's page and media.
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. And no I didn’t knew this existed, that’s how out of touch I am with the existence of TTG (then again I peaced out of cable years ago now).
Loonatics Unleashed was a good show. It's just came out on the wrong time. But still my favorite series. And I even start to draw because of Loonatics. So, I don't understand, why on the hell people hating this show! And especially, I hate how WB hating this and thinking as some mistake. It's not a mistake! Teen Titans Go is a mistake! And Velma is a mistake! Just, stop hating on this show, WB! By the way, I hate the episode too. Loonatics could escape from the meteor. They aren't dumb. And probably (I'm not sure) Tech wouldn't die there. Cause you know, regeneration. I don't know, okay? Rev could've sense the meteor, Lexi could've heard the meteor. Even Ace, Duck and Slam could've sense it!
Ngl, I still think it was the horrible fanbase of the original Looney Tunes cartoon franchise that put Teen Titans Go up to making this episode happen. I speak for all of us Loonatics fans when we say... If it's a war those old Looney Tunes fans that hate Loonatics so much want?? then it's a war they'll get lol.
The irony of Teen titans freaking go hating the loonatics for being an insult to the original product, let me phrase that again for being AN INSULT TO THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT, is so clear that i can't believe the writers were THIS BLIND to not notice how they are the exact same thing, the episode easily could have been abou that, but nope gotta make it a blatant hate fic.
They really know their product is an Insult to anything Teen Titans, they even made it a reoccurring joke, but they always need to double down on any show they think is or can be considered worse than TTG (they did in The ThunderCatz' Crossover
I remember I kept seeing pictures of Loonatics Unleashed around the Internet and I finally said you know when I’m kind of bored I watch this. And then I loved it. It was so fun to watch and definitely an interesting take on the Looney Tunes characters. And even though I didn’t watch them when they were airing of course, I watched a lot of the old Looney Tunes cartoons from a DVD pack my parents got, and I liked those ,black and white and all. So yeah I liked both of them and I don’t understand why I got such a hate. And honestly, though the reason I feel loonatics is still more in tune with their earlier counterparts, because each of those characters have a little bit of the older ones personality, or at least a small aspect of it. Velma….( UGH) was completely different from any of the og Scooby characters and changed so much of them to an astronomical level that they weren’t even recognizable.
I feel a bit sorry for Loonatics Unleashed, I never really had the time to watch the show entirely but I always felt the idea would have been good if they put a bit more planning into it. If anything Loonatince Unleashed came out in 2005 its almost 2025, we are now 20 years into the 95 years until Public Domain, so 75 more years and people can make their own Loonatics Unleashed, seeing I doubt WB will try to even reboot it to prevent Public Domain.
calling it now, the makers of TTG are bribing the heads of CN and WB to let the show keep going, that is the only acceptable explanation as to why it hasn't died like it should've long ago, i feel like i was fighting off an aneurysm while watching this because I'm just DONE with ttg so completely
WB bashing on Loonatics honestly just comes across as petty and immature. A lot of people would have forgotten about it by now if not for their need to bring it up like this.
It's the new "Mock your own unsuccessful/embarassing products to make yourself seem more self-aware and humble than you actually are" strategy some media companies use. I know SEGA/Sonic Team were doing it with Sonic back in the 2010s after Boom fumbled the bag.
Here I thought that Thundercats Roar crossover was bad. I rather liked Loonatics Unleashed, I listen to its kickass season 1 theme on loop from time to time.
Warner needs to stop pretending we hate the same shit that was years ago and get with the fans literally Warner Brothers currently is the worst I do this thing similar to rare wear they’re all “like hey we know what you’re asking for, but that’s not what you want. So fuck you” and then proceeds to keep making the same junk or just ruin something literally I feel like everything they touch they just somehow managed to ruin Scooby Doo with Velma. the Minecraft movie, the new Batman show, suicide squad and practically so much more. What side is they don’t even do anything with the Cartoon Network IP is that they have especially the ones we care about including Ben 10 say what you all about Disney but at least they actually try to make good things without blatantly saying ha ha fuck you to your face. Although it doesn’t excuse the fact that Disney is pulling out junk still, at least we know there is a couple of examples like inside out 2 that shows that they actually try
10:42 I'm honestly shocked to see Tom Rugger of all people say THAT about Scrappy. You'd think he'd be right alongside everyone else in bashing scrappy, what with many of his biting satires in Animaniacs. Still, I'm glad and grateful to have his support in defending Scrappy.
I’m glad the WB sold off RWBY before Teen Titans Go can get their grubby little hands on it. As if the Justice League crossover movies weren’t bad enoughz
y'know, in a way, i'm glad this happened. after the Beetlejuice crossover was actually kinda good, i was almost considering giving them another chance. but this reminded me what i should've known all along: they'll never change.
Yeah and to quote Mandy Flood from Season 1-5 Fireman Sam: "Oh! Now they've gone and done it!" And to also quote The Angry Video Game Nerd: *"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?"*
Ace Bunny: (Sarcasticly) Well done, Warner Bros. (Does a slow clap) Warner Bros: What are you doing? Ace Bunny: It's called a slow clap. I've learned it from American Dad.
If Warner Bros really hates Loonatics so much, why don't they just turn it into another tax write-off like Coyote vs Acme or Bye Bye Bunny, or is that not possible due to how old Loonatics is? Oh my god, I just jinxed it, didn't I?
It's too old to be written off, while also being too _good_ to allow to become public domain. The same applies to Road Rovers. Note how much WB doesn't like to let go of "Their Property", even when they let it decay and languish.
Note to self: Give this Loonatics Unleashed show a try. I’ve heard about how it wasn’t exactly remembered fondly by people but with how many shows, movies and games I heard about through people repeating that it sucked only for me to watch and enjoy those things, I think it won’t hurt to give this show a try. Interesting video, btw. Well put together and rather passionate, I like it.
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.
...look, I hate the TTG episode too, but I don't think that's how animation works -- animation of any kind takes a long-ass time to make, let alone in the amount of time it took for even the first episode of this retrospective to come out. And that's not even counting how the retrospective vids only get a couple hundred to a couple thousand views tops; why would WB's president care?
Considering the creators made "return of Slade" in response to fan criticism about the show being too different from the original, it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case
Glad I'm not the only one who actually understands how much of an insult this episode was. I actually like the loonatics Unleashed when it came out I was in the Target demographic and I liked it. Like anything connected to Teen Titans Go this is a non-canon crossover that is very insulting to the original Source material. No matter how you look at it it deserved better than this
WB can say what they will about Loonatics Unleashed, the show did alright, it wasn't the best but did something different/unique, as a kid growing up I loved the characters and I would gladly revisit watching the show again. Also let's not forget this was in the EARLY 2000s when there was a lot more ACTION Cartoons back then.
I doubt Warner Bros. will ever let their hatred of Loonatics Unleashed go unless everyone in the studio who was involved with it leaves. I watched and liked it. It wasn't the cash cow that became their next big franchise. I can tell they invested a lot of money (The voice cast and some guest stars were expensive) and will always be petty about losing their money.
It does seem weird for Warner Bros to hate Loonatics nowadays as it's not a particularly famous show. Loonatics wasn't bad it just didn't go well & why the hate for it in particular. Meanwhile Warner Bros decides to kill off 2 done movies namely Batgirl & the Wily Coyote movie where he sues Acme. To be fair after 10 seasons & a harsh schedule it's really hard to come up with material
I know right, the future was big back then, Batman beyond Phantom 2040 Sherlock holmes of the 22nd century Duck dodgers of the 24th and one half century Futurama And Robocop
I can't say I remember liking Loonatics Unleashed but I don't think it deserved this kind of treatment. I don't hate Teen Titans Go but it has definitely overstayed its welcome by a few years in my opinion
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.
Ya know if they wanna mock Loonatics sure thats fine but using TTGO of all things as a platform to take shots at the show has gotta be some of the most tone deaf no self awareness shit ive seen in while and im not sure if they realize the irony in that or if not then they just don't care. TTGO to this day still gets way more hate then Loonatics ever did hell most people don't even remember Loonatics let alone care enough about it to hate it
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’d respect you if you did.

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.
Ttg isn't replacement of tt, learn to realize the obvious
The funny thing is ppl are beginning like lu whereas ttg keeps going down hill
@@ohhellwhereami2574 Never said it was lmao Did you reply to the wrong comment or something?
@@Pipeloluwa-z7x Honestly I get the feeling that's probably what pisses WB off the most about all of this. The thing they've been treating as their biggest failure actually managed to earn a niche fandom over the years, whereas the thing they've been cramming down everyone's throat is still widely hated X'D
The other difference is that people actually liked and enjoyed loonatic vs ttg is just bad and no one's like it.
Imagine in an alternate universe where loonatics unleashed would be the show running for 10 years while ttg was the one that got cancelled after 2 seasons. I would honestly love to live in that timeline rather than the one we are currently in..
Absolutely mess of timeline that would be, can't think of ttg robin the goat not existing after season 2 ..... Before declaring himself better than tt robin...
Actually if it Got cut by season 2 then , the plot of ending would be Titans would be separate for real now because of robin doomed the team wait oh well they're back... Haha unlimited adventure of ttg exploits nice ending imo
I'd love to live in an alternate universe where 'Swat Kats' ran for 5 seasons, 'Teen Titans' gets A 6th season, 'Megas XLR' ran for 6 seasons, 'Powerpuff Girls 2016' never happened, 'Thundercats Roar' never happened, 'Velma' never happened, and new 'Looney Tunes' shorts would be shown in theaters.

Warner Bros.: "We're gonna have the Teen Titans crossover with the Loonatics Unleashed."
(Episode has the Loonatics die from a meteor)
That's not a crossover, that's you throwing a meteor at something that not many people would know about.
Teen Titans Go really does seem to have made shitting on others it's brand, hasn't it? Like.. Man.. The number of times they shit on the original Teen Titans (multiple episodes and even an entire movie dedicated to "showing us why Go is better") and other series is ridiculous.. And now going after other shows too? This really has gotten out of hand with how petty and immature it all is..
They've BEEN going after other shows, there was a crossover with Thundercats ROAR (yeah, remember THAT travesty?) where they shit on the much better remake, AND used the og Liono (apologies if I spelt that wrong, I'm not a huge TC fan) to call the fans (who were rightfully pissed about ANOTHER TTG clone) VERY IMMATURE NAMES!
@@otakudragonlover2563you forgot to mention that they actually mocked OG Pantro's voice actor's death by having the skeletons of him in the background of the ending bit of the episode
How petty can someone get? Loonatics Unleashed has been the butt of a joke for years, but WB's prized cow has to take a festering dump on it.
Don't be so surprised, this is exactly what Type-Moon and even their fandom is doing to the Fate Route of Fate/stay night!
@@shawnwarrynn8609 At least that's just the same series making fun of itself. And the same fans of the series. And the same writer sometimes.
This is a franchise making fun of another completely unrelated franchise.
In an ideal world, 'Teen Titans Go' would be the butt of the joke, and would've been mocked on the 'Animaniacs' revival.
Fate route is goated
While Heavens feel is mid (it has its moments)ubw is great too @@shawnwarrynn8609
Honestly I think the flash Loonatics parodies where the most mockery the show needed, it doesn't need to be a joke years later after everyone forgot about it
So let me get this straight... Warner Bros is ashamed of
Loonatics Unleashed, but not Teen Titans Go or Velma?
Okay then...
I hope Batman Beyond will be untouched it's literally aging like fine wine.
Teen Titans go was a success. Of course they aren't ashamed of it
TTG is literally a cash cow that they're not gonna stop milking until it's dead which probably isn't gonna happen
And that's the sad part.
Next theyll say they arent ashamed of ssktjl
FUN FACT: Slam Tasmanian, Tech E. Coyote and Trigon are voiced by the same voice actor.

Kevin Michael Richardson.
I subbed, and I agree. The hate for Loonatics feels rather. . . *forced.* Heck, I wasn't even alive when it came out, and I grew up watching TMNT around 2012. Looking back at Loonatics now?... I think it deserves another chance. Thank You for humbling Warner Bros. about this BS hate, Gokai.
Or maybe that was Warner Bros plan to keep Loonatics Unleashed alive. It was considered mediocre when it first came out, not hated on though like Warner Bros has been making it. It was just "Eh", not 😡. It could be a gaslighting technique to make the new generation like it.
Reminder that when we first saw this premiere many years ago, it was very well being pushed as being the PERMANENT replacement for the original Looney Tunes, meant co completely erase the original
Back then, it was straight-up cultural vandalism, as opposed to the seemingly harmless relic of an era that younger generations now see it as
Actually im surprised that there are people who hate the idea of looney tunes AS SUPER HEROES SERIOUSLY ITS ONE OF THE BEST IDEAS I HEARD

Loonatics appeared in the wrong year, after all many complained about the series because it moved away from what Looney Tunes was before.
But now that superheroes are more seen and popular, they can at least take advantage of the concept again and work on them better this time. But no, WB wants to feel smart by giving hate to those series and say: See? We hate our product, we're cool 🤪
Yeah that's exactly what I've thought of! though don't think I was born when Loontics aired
Yeah, my belief is that Loonatics was a victim of when Warner Bros. was making too many spin-off ideas to try and capitalize on the characters while trying to introduce them to new characters (I mean, just look at Baby Looney Tunes, a spin-off worse than what people say Loonatics Unleashed was).
it would be cool if it was like Freakazoid, a action hero show that at times acts more like a parody of the Superhero genre while at other times it really does feel like an actual superhero show
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.
they are doing the scrappy doo strategi again
It's become more clear that WB hated Loonatics Unleashed more that the audience themselves. Especially the response I've seen online that say it wasn't that had of a show.
Now compare that to TTG that's been running for almost a "decade" now and there's still more of a negative response from viewers who still bother to watch it.
I just thought the show was meh, Just another hero action show from the 2000s
Not bad, But also not that good
No one liked loonatics except for nostalgia fucks.....
If it came today it'll have as much hate as before....
Heck i forgot its even going since really it reminding how much good was cancelled
@@genesismultiverse4896 Yeah it sucks..
@@doodlestrudel1991I agree
As much as I still think that Loonatics was and always will be an insane idea for a premise, at least they were trying to be experimental. TTG has been nothing but WB's safety net for years now, Velma was pretending experimental but instead just spent its runtime complaining, and don't even get me started on the cancelations.
You wanna know whats funny?
WB hates Loonatics for being an edgy superhero remake of a safe slapstick cartoon.
But just adores TTG because its a safe slapstick remake of an edgy superhero cartoon.
Talk about hypocrisy.
Not hypocrisy just hatred of edginess
@jacobitewiseman3696 nah, they just want Money, kids huh
loonatics wasn't even that edgy or edgy at all
@elderleon1844 I would say nowadays WB hates good stuff but the new Minecraft movie trailer looks promising
Teen Titans Go really serves as Sam Register’s soapbox. This episode of TTG shows why.
Just like Brian Griffin being Seth McFarlane's soapbox.
11:26 After what happened in Velma's 2nd season finale, Scrappy has got a lot more appreciation after he that version of her character off.
Ye because hé killed a caracters worse then hé ever was
@@majosmajos6822 Scrappy actually gets a lot of unnecessary hate.
In fact, Scrappy was actually _QUITE_ popular for his time, and the "Scrappy hate" became a thing after the Live Action Scooby Doo Movie, which was notably produced by a guy who absolutely _HATED_ Scrappy for some reason.
@@Victor-056 And would become the guy who would direct the Guardians of the Galaxy films.
@@jeremyriley1238 To be frank, a person can make something good if they like what they are making.
The guy in question didn't like Scrappy, and started a smear campaign based around hating the character.
Also, he was working under _Disney_ when Directing Guardians of the Galaxy... And Disney tends to dislike failures.
@@Victor-056a little earlier than that. Cartoon Network did have CN City short where you have various CN characters just straight up disrespecting Scrappy at the front door. With Scrappy getting more and more angrier with every dismissal from the CN crew.
Now they can't use that bullshit "but it's been 10 years stop hating" excuse because it can be followed with "they'll stop hating when TTG stops hating on shows that are no longer in production FOR YEARS."
The Animaniacs Reboot even did it to the Loonatics and the Animaniacs even admitted their reboot was only due to being sellouts.
Scrappy Doo has since elevated to Local Hero status for killing off Velma.
Yeah, people should share that around! Wanna watch register implode.
Shaggy and scooby do get a clue slander will not be tolerated
A truly underrated show
Wb really won’t let people forget how much they felt loonatics was a ridiculous decision they conjured up.
If that's the case we should respond back louder that they're wrong.
They’ve been poking fun at Loonatics so many times that it’s still not even funny. They need to get some new material.
Loonatics deserves so much better. *JUSTICE FOR LOONATICS, GODDAMN IT.*
i stll don't understand why a lot of people hates Loonatics Unleashed, i honestly i like it a lot
Same. I really thought it was a cool take on the Looney Tunes.
same plus I didn't know it had hate at least it was entertaining then space jam 2
It’s because it was considered an extreme change of pace compared to the original loony tunes, and reception of it was small, but it’s not necessarily a bad series, it just came out at a bad time
Me too.
Same I used to watch the show on Kids WB all the time as a kid.
I feel like Huggbees’s video on Loonatics opened up my eyes to how WB and the internet in general has beaten the “Loonatics was terrible” joke into the dirt.
Huggbees is peak RUclips tho.
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.
Absolute worst take, people would be inspired to make such a show relive again in some other media imagine as a writer your show's hate or criticism turns itself into propaganda that lives in other minds rentless which got stretched benefited for this long having a featured movie in theaters, many crossovers and lot of remarkable moments occasionally
I dont understand the hate for loonatics, honestly its an ok show with some problems here and there. If WB wants to mock a bad ip, they did , so why not make fun of the 2016 ppg or velma or Joker 2.
Maybe they want newer generations to get into it. Lots of old stuff gains new audiences later that love it (Persona, Arrested Development, Archer, Scott Pilgrim, etc.)
Or do the right thing and do an unceremonias death for teen titan go
@@genesismultiverse4896 how can you be dead when you're living through other infinite hate? 😅
@@ohhellwhereami2574 your right lets do golden experience requiem and put them on the death loop
They actually did an episode with the 2016 PPG reboot (with the Titans making fun of the girls). Velma and Joker 2 I doubt they will do since TTG is aimed at kids, and Velma and the two Joker films are aimed at adult audiences.
Teen titans go is the example if what NOT To do.
What?
And they removed all the GOOD shows off HBO Max, the ones everyone and they mama have been cherished with.
That is true, with the biggest example of what NOT to do is that if fans of the original show complain, then make fun of them in an episode. If TTG really wanted to avoid fan hate, then they should have grown some spines and ignored the hate they were getting, as by making episodes like Slade and the various crossovers with characters like Freakazoid, Beetlejuice, and even Thundercats Roar, all they are doing is kicking the hornet's nest, and while it has been successful for them, there will come a time when it will come back to sting them.
@@jeremyriley1238 petty is what it is
@ohhellwhereami2574 just because its lasted a while doesn't mean its well liked. And they know it.
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.
Besides Starfire's unibrow,, they look kind of nice in that style.
Weird how they often tend to look better in different styles ngl.
Ironic. A spin-off from the 2010s of an action superhero dramedy from the 2000s that turned it into a silly comedy, is doing a commentary on an action superhero dramedy from the 2000s based on a silly comedy.
Ttg is it's own continuity
@ohhellwhereami2574 oh yeah. And Loonatics treats itself like a sequel. Forgot.
Follow-up. They're both follow-ups that do the opposite genre of the original. That's the connection.
@kylemorello4787 no... Ttg got switch up real quick it's so apparently obvious, they don't follow up anything it's alternate dimension side story stuff from beginning nothing connects to teen Titans that had an ending already
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 usually blame the original Looney Tunes franchise's fanbase because their hatred for Loonatics always takes everything from me lol.
This show and this episode screams and meets the quality of what Deadpool said “what in the actual ass?”
That's basically what WB puts out now. Either it's shows with Deadpool humor, or it's so "adult" that it's inaccessible to children. Nothing in between like they used to.
Heck i hate that prick but i wouldnt go out of my way to make something cartoon or game or movie just to put all my hate and kill him unceremonias like that in a very forced way
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp Not everything WB puts out nowadays is bad. Also, you're being sensitive about adult cartoons. Being inaccessible too children is not the problem with a lot of them.
@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.
@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".
Honestly we can just agree and understand that Teen Titans Go really love meeting every WB Characters instead of just comedically doing their own things like from seasons 1 - 4 and defeating crimes and all but instead meeting celebrities and fiction characters. Plus they always ruined everything and being witty on other folks
It's parody focused show now, heroing is gone long ago actually
@ohhellwhereami2574 yeah but they gotta stop or just do better..
This is 100% going in my “obscure drama” playlist
Lmao true
They REALLY went : "Who gonna stop me though?" with this one.
"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 think these strange and different takes on classic characters should be tried, even if they fail. Take risks! That's how you make art!
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.
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.
Loonatics Unleashed may not have been the best show, but it at least tried to be something and didn't crap on what came before. Teen Titans Go is just a lame amalgamation of much better shows that was given way more life than it deserved
I hate that i like the teen toonatics redesign. The art style is so cool no matter who's put in it apparently
i agree, even though they are meant to be joke designs, they look better than the Teen Titans Go designs in my opinion.
I want Loonatics Unleashed to come back to. Heck, I want to see the 2003 Teen Titans team up with the Loonatics and kind of want to see Ace go through the same thing Robin did when he became Slade's apprentice. Either Ace or Duck, I'd be fine with either turning evil. I just want a season 3
OMG! i wanna see both groups go through what raven did when she found out she could actually stop time which froze everything including her own friends!
i also want a season 3
Woah, that would be awesome!
@DavidMartinez-ce3lp Thanks
@zombiekillo61704 I don't know if I'd trust WB animation to handle it though since they have really lost their touch. Maybe in the form of a comic adaptation bringing back some of the original writers.
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.
I was mostly turning a blind eye to their crap but now I absolutely despise them for doing this episode, i ain't gonna obsess over it. But Loonatics Unleashed didn't deserve to be bashed like this.
Yes people thought it was bad
The reason was due to the pilot (which was really a pitch considering there was no pilot episode and just concept art). This was established a few years before the initial show.
Really when ttg is doing hate on it even tho it doesnt show anything to hate you know it was forced
@@v.k.rt.m.6030 yeah maybe the second season for forciblly more kid friendly (it was way to forced violence humor) but still
Considering how apparently Scrappy Doo was hated in an attempt to shill Elmyra, could it be argued that the same virtually happened here with Loonatics vs TTG?
Wait what?
Apparently, there’s a whole thing going down that the previous president of WB set up Scrappy to be hated in order to shill Elmyra Duff in his place.
@ elaborate
@ Unfortunately, I don’t remember where exactly I heard about it, but I think it might’ve been in an interview with Charlie Adler or some of the staff involved with Tiny Toons. Wish I could remember where I heard it.
3:41 In this scene, the 2011 lion frustrated inside the cave is the feeling of the product, because a member of Teen Titan Go made Thunder Cat 2011 and is frustrated with the failure.
Kind of glad to see more people are appreciating Loonatics Unleashed more. I mean, it's far from a perfect show. But it's fun, has some clever ideas, it could work.
Loonatics unleashed was a damn good show, and it was definitely a better show than teen Titans go.
7:43......That was the moment I straight up dropped my phone, mumbling to myself "She could've just been called Crow, which is SIMILAR to a Raven", and questioned my life choices.
I don’t know man, I kinda like Pigeon. But I’d understand why crow would work better
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.
Ngl, speaking of "Looney Tunes", I bet it was the toxic fanbase of Looney Tunes that put TTG up to making that crossover episode, their hatred for Loonatics is somehow giving me the urge to declare war on that fanbase like how any Loonatics fan besides myself would lol.
It's either them or Sam Register, and I swear. I'm tired of it. Hope Gokai Orange doesn't give up and does Season 2.
Its just such a random deep cut reference. The vast majority of Teen Titan's GO's viewerbase werent even alive when that show was airing.
I never understood why Loonatics got so much hate in the first place. 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.
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.
@@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002 Ironic for I actually love the Loonatics Unleashed, just never got into the later episodes for I had a job at the time :|
@@somebodykares1 Uhhh ok, nevermind then, sorry.
I will admit this episode and what I've seen of TTG has made me appreciate Loonatics Unleashed more. At least the Loonatics act their age and like heroes while this version of the TT are immature jerks.
Dan VS. was awesome!!! Just wanted to point that out.
No idea what that has to do with anything, but I'm not complaining cuz I agree
You have One Job, David Zaslav. ONE JOB!
Yeah... Teen Titans Go is too exhausting to watch, and it represents a sad reality about Warner Brothers... what is it, you ask?... I dunno, maybe the fact they're not the same anymore?.. if they can't be bothered to give a damn, then I can't either.
They are dying so what does it matter? CN days are numbered and this show will down in history as a cancer since nobody sane likes it.
Meanwhile Lunatics will remain since it has fans and the show is actualy enjoyable. Quite frankly i doubt WB will remain because they have no idea how to handle their own properties or make new ones.
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.
If you're gonna show your hatred on Loonatics Unleashed of all shows, you ain't getting sympathy from me, Sam Register. It deserves a second chance.
Idc Loonatics Unleashed was legit bad ass. It legitimately doesn't deserve hate at all literally nice 3 seasons ended well, amazing character development in more than just being toons. This is just the passion from a fan who literally use to watch it every Saturday morning.
How dare they use Teen Titans Go of all shows to mock Loonatic Unleashed? Season 1 was amazing, season 2 a bit less but it still ahd good moments, it wasn't perfect but it was pretty good for the time but they should have sticked with the season 1 formula, and maybe make Lexi less of a hypocrite and stop brain blasting Duck for minor stuff when she got away with not even a slap on the wrist for causing a war with the Martians by the rest of the team sans Duck. Teen Titans Go should have died years ago, while Loonatics deserve a mighty comeback.
Whoa, watch the spoilers there. He didn't even cover Season 2 yet.
@@PWPictures67 Sorry.
Should have died years ago? You mean during season 4 premiere
Yeah, I have to agree, as Season 2 tried to make the series on a more comedic path.
TTG has to be the most spiteful and soapbox show I have ever seen. I don't think even Velma was this spiteful.
No..at least TTG has an audience with its target demographic. Velma may not be as spiteful (tbh I haven’t even seen Velma) but it doesn’t have much of an audience other than a few hate watchers.
@@PyroSter true
I feel like Shadow The Hedgehog shows that you can come back from being very edgy and become a good game series/character. So why can't the same be done for Loonatics Unleashed? I remember finding it fun when I saw it on Saturday mornings. It wouldn't be bad to give it another shot instead of them constantly dunking on it. I should mention that I don't fully remember the show as well due to seeing it so long ago, but I remember it being pretty decent and fun.
I personally loved Loonatics unleashed, I don't know why it got so much hate
Fun fact, cartoon network did said something "positive" towards scrappy in a tweet back in may 20, posibly after people realizing he wasnt that bad and stuff.
Wow really?! Honestly scrappy deserved better..
@@Walid-mk4jo i could send it to you here, but youtube dosent like that, but also you can still find that tweet easly, in the cartoonetwork's page and media.
Even the character of Animaniacs, Tom Rugger likes Scrappy-Doo.
I think you meant creator, but yes.
Somebody who co-founded Breadwinners got another job in the animation industry afterwards? Astonishing. Well, actually no, that makes a lot of sense.
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. And no I didn’t knew this existed, that’s how out of touch I am with the existence of TTG (then again I peaced out of cable years ago now).
Heck its like with batman beyond they keep annoying the fanbase
A bunch of purists got their way over one cartoon show and it irritates me. What the did the show do to deserve this?
@@v.k.rt.m.6030 nothing but sadly some people can be duches
Saberspark said we're too hard on Teen titans go, I say we're too hard on loonatics unleashed
We don't hate 'Teen Titans Go' enough.
Loonatics Unleashed was a good show. It's just came out on the wrong time. But still my favorite series. And I even start to draw because of Loonatics. So, I don't understand, why on the hell people hating this show! And especially, I hate how WB hating this and thinking as some mistake. It's not a mistake! Teen Titans Go is a mistake! And Velma is a mistake!
Just, stop hating on this show, WB!
By the way, I hate the episode too. Loonatics could escape from the meteor. They aren't dumb. And probably (I'm not sure) Tech wouldn't die there. Cause you know, regeneration. I don't know, okay? Rev could've sense the meteor, Lexi could've heard the meteor. Even Ace, Duck and Slam could've sense it!
Ngl, I still think it was the horrible fanbase of the original Looney Tunes cartoon franchise that put Teen Titans Go up to making this episode happen.
I speak for all of us Loonatics fans when we say...
If it's a war those old Looney Tunes fans that hate Loonatics so much want?? then it's a war they'll get lol.
The irony of Teen titans freaking go hating the loonatics for being an insult to the original product, let me phrase that again for being AN INSULT TO THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT, is so clear that i can't believe the writers were THIS BLIND to not notice how they are the exact same thing, the episode easily could have been abou that, but nope gotta make it a blatant hate fic.
They really know their product is an Insult to anything Teen Titans, they even made it a reoccurring joke, but they always need to double down on any show they think is or can be considered worse than TTG (they did in The ThunderCatz' Crossover
IT'S BAD ENOUGH WITH THE 400TH EPISODE AROUND THE CORNER BUT THIS!? THIS!? THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR!
we sadly CAN'T EVEN cancel TTG they still gonna keep it alive and mock us.
@@whitegoku9918 When they get cancelled, they will be sent to the Cartoon Inferno!
At this point, Titans Go NEEEDS to die
Ye

TTG is an example of a show that can continue despite every fans backlash. For whatever reason its WB exec most favorite show.
It’s cheap to make, that’s why.
I would still pick Loonatics over teen titans go any day WB.
I remember I kept seeing pictures of Loonatics Unleashed around the Internet and I finally said you know when I’m kind of bored I watch this. And then I loved it. It was so fun to watch and definitely an interesting take on the Looney Tunes characters. And even though I didn’t watch them when they were airing of course, I watched a lot of the old Looney Tunes cartoons from a DVD pack my parents got, and I liked those ,black and white and all. So yeah I liked both of them and I don’t understand why I got such a hate.
And honestly, though the reason I feel loonatics is still more in tune with their earlier counterparts, because each of those characters have a little bit of the older ones personality, or at least a small aspect of it. Velma….( UGH) was completely different from any of the og Scooby characters and changed so much of them to an astronomical level that they weren’t even recognizable.
I still stand by the reason TTG is popular is because they don’t air anything BUT this show on Cartoon Network.
I feel a bit sorry for Loonatics Unleashed, I never really had the time to watch the show entirely but I always felt the idea would have been good if they put a bit more planning into it.
If anything Loonatince Unleashed came out in 2005 its almost 2025, we are now 20 years into the 95 years until Public Domain, so 75 more years and people can make their own Loonatics Unleashed, seeing I doubt WB will try to even reboot it to prevent Public Domain.
calling it now, the makers of TTG are bribing the heads of CN and WB to let the show keep going, that is the only acceptable explanation as to why it hasn't died like it should've long ago, i feel like i was fighting off an aneurysm while watching this because I'm just DONE with ttg so completely
WB bashing on Loonatics honestly just comes across as petty and immature. A lot of people would have forgotten about it by now if not for their need to bring it up like this.
Exactly, it would have faded into obscurity. And have a niche following at best
It's the new "Mock your own unsuccessful/embarassing products to make yourself seem more self-aware and humble than you actually are" strategy some media companies use.
I know SEGA/Sonic Team were doing it with Sonic back in the 2010s after Boom fumbled the bag.
Here I thought that Thundercats Roar crossover was bad. I rather liked Loonatics Unleashed, I listen to its kickass season 1 theme on loop from time to time.
Am I the only one who actually like Loonatics Unleashed? It was my favorite show.
No but I think I’m the only one (in this comment section at least) who likes TTG lol 😅
Same and I still like it.
Warner needs to stop pretending we hate the same shit that was years ago and get with the fans literally Warner Brothers currently is the worst I do this thing similar to rare wear they’re all “like hey we know what you’re asking for, but that’s not what you want. So fuck you” and then proceeds to keep making the same junk or just ruin something literally I feel like everything they touch they just somehow managed to ruin Scooby Doo with Velma. the Minecraft movie, the new Batman show, suicide squad and practically so much more. What side is they don’t even do anything with the Cartoon Network IP is that they have especially the ones we care about including Ben 10 say what you all about Disney but at least they actually try to make good things without blatantly saying ha ha fuck you to your face. Although it doesn’t excuse the fact that Disney is pulling out junk still, at least we know there is a couple of examples like inside out 2 that shows that they actually try
just a reminder, TTG used a Make A Wish Kid as a Shield for Criticism, that's why I despise the ever living joy out of it
Dang look as a Werehog enjoyer i feel this pain it's an old wound. But this sounds much worse.
I liked Loonatics. This just annoys me the amount of hate it gets, especially from a show that is worse than it is, imo
I’m glad I’m not the only one!! I’d pick Loonatics over Teen Titans Go! any day!
@trerchry same here. Got the show on DVD
@@trerchry really i wish that was the finally and ttg tried to kill loonatics but they get killed unceremoniasly
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp You know?. I've been a fan of the show when it first aired, and I'm gonna collect it also.
@@CapnRetro that's awesome!
It's extremely ironic that Teen Titans Go of all shows should make fun of a poorly-received reimagining of beloved cartoon characters
10:42 I'm honestly shocked to see Tom Rugger of all people say THAT about Scrappy. You'd think he'd be right alongside everyone else in bashing scrappy, what with many of his biting satires in Animaniacs.
Still, I'm glad and grateful to have his support in defending Scrappy.
I’m glad the WB sold off RWBY before Teen Titans Go can get their grubby little hands on it. As if the Justice League crossover movies weren’t bad enoughz
They did? Who did they sell it to?
@@TheKing-uu7jnViz Media.

Naruto of Viz Media saved RWBY’s life.

I grew up watching the OG Teen Titans and Loonatics Unleashed, I loved both of them, absolute banger series
Yeah, same.
y'know, in a way, i'm glad this happened. after the Beetlejuice crossover was actually kinda good, i was almost considering giving them another chance. but this reminded me what i should've known all along: they'll never change.
WB killed both the Loonatics and my interest in this episode.
Yeah and to quote Mandy Flood from Season 1-5 Fireman Sam:
"Oh! Now they've gone and done it!"
And to also quote The Angry Video Game Nerd:
*"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?!?!?!?"*
Ace Bunny: (Sarcasticly) Well done, Warner Bros. (Does a slow clap)
Warner Bros: What are you doing?
Ace Bunny: It's called a slow clap. I've learned it from American Dad.
If Warner Bros really hates Loonatics so much, why don't they just turn it into another tax write-off like Coyote vs Acme or Bye Bye Bunny, or is that not possible due to how old Loonatics is? Oh my god, I just jinxed it, didn't I?
i think it's too old to be written off
It's too old. The costs would have been classified as expenses years ago.
It's to damn old to do that.
It's too old to be written off, while also being too _good_ to allow to become public domain.
The same applies to Road Rovers. Note how much WB doesn't like to let go of "Their Property", even when they let it decay and languish.
Note to self: Give this Loonatics Unleashed show a try. I’ve heard about how it wasn’t exactly remembered fondly by people but with how many shows, movies and games I heard about through people repeating that it sucked only for me to watch and enjoy those things, I think it won’t hurt to give this show a try.
Interesting video, btw. Well put together and rather passionate, I like it.
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.
...look, I hate the TTG episode too, but I don't think that's how animation works -- animation of any kind takes a long-ass time to make, let alone in the amount of time it took for even the first episode of this retrospective to come out. And that's not even counting how the retrospective vids only get a couple hundred to a couple thousand views tops; why would WB's president care?
@@timey_103 It's been 3 weeks since the Intermission by the time of this writing, well over a month!
Seems like such a fucking reach bro.
It all makes sense now
Considering the creators made "return of Slade" in response to fan criticism about the show being too different from the original, it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case
Glad I'm not the only one who actually understands how much of an insult this episode was. I actually like the loonatics Unleashed when it came out I was in the Target demographic and I liked it. Like anything connected to Teen Titans Go this is a non-canon crossover that is very insulting to the original Source material. No matter how you look at it it deserved better than this
WB can say what they will about Loonatics Unleashed, the show did alright, it wasn't the best but did something different/unique, as a kid growing up I loved the characters and I would gladly revisit watching the show again. Also let's not forget this was in the EARLY 2000s when there was a lot more ACTION Cartoons back then.
Um
I wasn't even alive when this show came out but from my perspective looney tunes characters a hero squad sounds pretty cool
I doubt Warner Bros. will ever let their hatred of Loonatics Unleashed go unless everyone in the studio who was involved with it leaves. I watched and liked it. It wasn't the cash cow that became their next big franchise. I can tell they invested a lot of money (The voice cast and some guest stars were expensive) and will always be petty about losing their money.
It does seem weird for Warner Bros to hate Loonatics nowadays as it's not a particularly famous show. Loonatics wasn't bad it just didn't go well & why the hate for it in particular. Meanwhile Warner Bros decides to kill off 2 done movies namely Batgirl & the Wily Coyote movie where he sues Acme. To be fair after 10 seasons & a harsh schedule it's really hard to come up with material
I actually liked Loonatics Unleashed, I don’t get why people didn’t like it, it’s a lot better then TTG
I know right, the future was big back then,
Batman beyond
Phantom 2040
Sherlock holmes of the 22nd century
Duck dodgers of the 24th and one half century
Futurama
And Robocop
@@joegover9452but they didn’t like Loonatics Unleashed, it deserves a come back with a new Season
I can't say I remember liking Loonatics Unleashed but I don't think it deserved this kind of treatment. I don't hate Teen Titans Go but it has definitely overstayed its welcome by a few years in my opinion
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.
Ya know if they wanna mock Loonatics sure thats fine but using TTGO of all things as a platform to take shots at the show has gotta be some of the most tone deaf no self awareness shit ive seen in while and im not sure if they realize the irony in that or if not then they just don't care. TTGO to this day still gets way more hate then Loonatics ever did hell most people don't even remember Loonatics let alone care enough about it to hate it
