Before i start talkeing about how bad this show is.ok i have watched alot of cartoons in my day tom and jerry,tiny toons,rugrats,rocko moderns life,catdog and rockey and bullwinkle,trust i know a good cartoon when i see one so beleave when i say this show sucks!
Sure, like you're the only one who watched those cartoons and now you say that because you do watch them you're automatically a "true watcher"? It just means you have a strong positive opinion to classic cartoons and nothing more. Beleive me I've watched just about every classic I can think of as I grew up and that doesn't make me a lesser or greater viewer than you or anyone else, or even the young community of today who have not even seen them. You must also remember that what you're saying is your own view and opinion to the show and not everybody else's, so no, they don't have to take your word for it because you say so.
first of all why do the characters ware black i mean whould a change of color hurt?
Unless there's something so unbeleivably wrong with the color 'black', the color is for their uniforms, just like a football team wear different color jerseys; the color is to represent them, and the different color that outlines their gloves, foot-wear, and the mid section of their costumes is to represent each character(in a power ranger sort of way).
As for their skin, it's probably a side-effect from the radiation of the meteor when they were infected by it. Just as the secondary color on their faces are to represent the secondary color that outline their uniforms. Thus showing a sign of difference in their own color.
second of all if your going to make a superhero spinoff of the looneytunes at least put rest of the gang in there.porkey pig,elmarfudd and selvaster. i mean there where apart of the looneytunes so why not
Well, being that the show is only on a scheduled timeslot for 30 minutes and is only to air once every weekend, adding more main character would be too difficult to keep up with; In order for the show to run perfectly it's best to act out every character's emotion and feeling throughout the entire episode. By adding more character to the idea would take up the whole episode and allow less excitement when so many character are shoved into the sequence all at once.
Plus, the main goal is to have only the most recognizable characters to play out the idea for this cartoon, and being that this show is set years into the distant future (2772) the older Looney Tunes are likely to either be dead or worn out, that's why they have their descendents to take over for them. I would find it rather unimaginable if ALL the Looney Tunes just had descendents all at once, especially since some of them hardly had anyone to pair up with.
Not only that, the story goes as a giant meteor hitting the earth and causes supernatural occurance with it's radiation which causes the few who were caught in the explosion to have super powers (AKA Ace, Lexi, Tech, Slam, and Rev). So unless every single other Looney Tune happen to live in the same city, be at the SAME exact position where the meteor hit, AND lived (since I'm sure that with the meteor of such giant size, I'd say some people who were in it's path got more than radiation, if you know what I mean), then I say the chances of even the other Looney Tunes having powers and to be added along with the other cast are quite of a million to one.
That's the logic this show goes by; expect some possibilities while just simply say it probably happened or it didn't, we'll see when more episodes come out.
Of course, no one is saying that other descendents of other character will make appearances there's still a chance for someone else to come into the show, it really all depends if it will ever hold out that long.
but the thing that really makes this sucks is that they put this show way out of its roots like i all ways say you cant make a looneys tunes a batman and you make a batman a looney tunes just think what whould happen if they made batman a comedy?yeah i know what your thinking not a pretty
..but one thing you have to remember is is that this isn't a remake of Looney Tunes, nor are these the Looney Tunes characters. The show is set in a futuristic time where everything is changed, and the characters are simply descendents of the Looney Tunes, and yes, since they are descendents they should carry certain characteristics along with them, which they do;
Tech invents gadgets and other mechanical devices like Wile E. Coyote.
Ace has a sarcastic yet comedian attitidue while he pokes fun at the situation he's in like Bugs would do. Though his way of acting it all out is rather pathetic as far as his tone of voice and performance are concerned, and the jokes he makes are a little too obvious.
Lexi...well, we never really got to see much character profile with Lola on Space Jam, so there's really no telling what other likenesses she takes from her ancestor.
Slam talks in gibberish, has a wild and voilent personality, and spins into a tornado like Taz would do.
Danger Duck is a wise-cracking, glory-hog like his ancestor, Daffy, was.
Rev may talk, have more of a personality now that he talks, and is a bit hyper, but one thing he takes off of his ancestor, Roadrunner, is that he can run really fast.
So you see, this show does stick to it's roots, at least as far as characters go, but this show is set at a different time, in the distant future where not everything is as it once was, with new characters. It's not the cartoony comedy land that the older versions used to live in.
picture now is it and thats how loonatics is,remeber i have wacthed cartoons for a long time so i know what im talking about.
Wait, that's it? After your little "I'm a true watcher of cartoons" statement all you have to say is "I don't like the color of their suits, why can't more Looney Tues be in it, and I think it needs to stick to it's roots"? You're not going to comment about the story, further detail into the character, or even attempt to explain your views on the art-style or animation that is taking place to bring the whole show to life?
What good is a review if you don't even explain into detail about what the show is? Anybody who doesn't even know what the show is about can simply type what you've written by glancing at an show summary off of some sort of TV website. It's hard enough to accept any fact at all that you even watched the thing. How can anybody even consider your opinion or even take it seriously when it all focuses on are little subjects like what the characters wear, why can't the show be clouded with more different characters, or that it has to "stick to it's roots"(which you've clearly shown no signs of being specific of what you even meant on this part)? I could only assume what you meant by "it needs to stick to it's roots" when you don't give any evidense on what is so different about it.
If you want to make a point, especially after considering yourself of greater superiority to everyone else, you need to DESCRIBE what you're pointing out rather than say, "I don't approve this" and leaving it at that. How do you expect for anyone who hasn't seen the show to know what you're talking about?

Ok the reason i made my review short is because i had to go with my dad to 5 basketball games and i didnt get back to 10:00 pm,but now back to the subject.ok like i said before i watch a lot of cartoons and i have watched two episodes of the loonatics,you see before a judge a cartoon i give it some time to fix its problems.when i saw loonatics i already started to see problems,aces voice sounds too surfer dude it should sound like robins from the teen titans they got techs,revs,lexis voice right so thats ok.another thing the powers ok shouldnt lexi have sports powers insted of brain power because in space thats what loli was based on,i dont know about danger ducks power or aces power thats another thing they have to fix.now about the color they could of had any color in the world just because a meter give off radiation does not mean they have to be black. their black because the makers wanted it that way, black just doesnt look good on them they could of just give them super powers and let them pick out their cloths.ok you said that they cant add more of the looney tunes gang in there, because of the time slot.have you ever seen justice league unlimted they could have did it like that,just have a random set of heros go out and and stop whats ever happening to the city or town and you have tiny toons did it that way and they where still ran the show good.you said that this is not a remake of the looney tunes but in fact it is,think of it like this, what all grown up does for the rugrats is what loonatics does for looney tunes.now that that is out of the way on to the detail ok there jokes whould have been funney but instead it is a hit or miss and we have no idea how they all met, but maybe they will till us that in a episode someday.i like rev runner but he just comes out as a gag character,and to put this all in a nutshell it trys to combine looney tune humor and teen titan style action but falls short.

aces voice sounds too surfer dude it should sound like robins from the teen titans they got techs,revs,lexis voice right so thats ok.
No arguments here, though I'm not sure about having it changed to robbin's, anything ould be better than Charlie Schlatter's performance. His voice just makes his character stick out even more than his awful jokes as the most annoying character on the entire show. Come to think of it, all this guy's ever done was just play a couple of lousy characters on low-rated shows and a couple of background voices, I suppose that explains his way of "acting" out his role.
another thing the powers ok shouldnt lexi have sports powers insted of brain power because in space thats what loli was based on,i dont know about danger ducks power or aces power thats another thing they have to fix.
No not really, you see just because they're descenedents, it only makes them share characteristics like ther attitudes and personalities. The meteor on the other hand is what gave them those powers, which were random, regardless of what their ancestors were. The powers have nothing to do with with anybody from the past; Like in Fantastic Four for example, a group of people gain random powers from radiation, it's not their personalities that are being measured here, it has more to do with mutating DNA really.
By the way, if you've also noticed, Lexi secondary ability is gymnastics, so this could imply that she must have been an athletic performer of some kind before the meteor hit, and the meteor itself must have inhanced those abilities.
now about the color they could of had any color in the world just because a meter give off radiation does not mean they have to be black. their black because the makers wanted it that way, black just doesnt look good on them they could of just give them super powers and let them pick out their cloths.
What I'm saying is is that the creaters probably wanted to make it to be a 'team color', I said the condition with their skinz(or fur) being dark and diffeent colored is all from the possibility of radiation, as it must have mutated some cells to cause skin(fur) change (I'm actually just talking story-wise here).
Their clothes, yes, the creators wanted them to be that way; to sort of put a "dark" look in order to make them look cool (Matrix anyone) as black is always the usage of color with certain groups and individuals who tend to use it to represent a "darker" form of character. I suppose in order to be more creative they could have designed a different form of clothing for them, but it's their cartoon, so I suppose they just decided not to.
ok you said that they cant add more of the looney tunes gang in there, the because of the time slot.have you ever seen justice league unlimted they could have did it like that,just have a random set of heros go out and and stop whats ever happening to the city or town and you have tiny toons did it that way and they where still ran the show good.
Good point,perhaps a show can have multiple characters into one without further difficulty but those were different shows with different views, stories, and ideas.
Tiny Toons was a comedy show split into different episode each time it aired, giving them shorts in which each character (mainly Babs and Buster) to have each their own way of performance. Nothing had to make sense or be realistic to make you understand and laugh at the jokes, it really didn't have a story really, it's whole purpose was to have other characters do different things that would make you laugh.
Jastice League and Unlimited were shows designed to animate a comic book and crossover tons of others into one show. The story for unlimited is when the both teams gather all the heroes from old comics books to new ones and many others different characters from other galaxies to help fight together.
Loonatics is a another show that focuses on five descendents of the Looney Tunes, which are consumed into radioactive energy from a meteor which causes them to have super powers. Together, with the help of an unknown figure, they set off to protect a city called acme-tropolis. It also tends to pull off a more realistic view and less cartoony look, which means that if someone is caught in an explosion they would get hurt or die, not something the Tiny Toons went for.
It also tries to put most of it's efforts into trying to not copy someone else's ideas, as they have been heavily disliked for it over the past year before this show came to television. Many people are already agitiated and complaining that the show is either a rip-off of diffeent shows or has done what had already been done, so I think using the Justise League idea would be completely out of the question considering if you had a bunch fans yellng at you to come up with your own ideas while you tried to put a project together.
The whole plan for this show is to have just the occasional five noticable main characters, and like I said, these are the descendents of the Looney Tunes, so if more characters were to come into view, they'd all have to be descendents too which sort of sounds like a lazy attempt at trying to shove a whole line of characters in without any thought or regret. It's like saying "Hey, you know what, let's just make everybody in Flash's family have powers too or have Batman have a hundred other side-kicks." Not to mention that just having this one team together is confusing enough on how they got together, bringing more character into the show would just raise more question than it would answer on each of their stories. In other words, this show is just going for one simple story with five simple characters.
Besides, like I've also said, nobody's saying that there won't be more descendents of characters to make appearances, so maybe there is a chance that there might be some just around the corner, if the show were to last that long, of course.
Even then, according to story, the meteor just hit one place in which the five characters happened to be in when it struck, thus giving them powers. If the other Looney Tunes were to have them, they'd all have to be living in the same place and standing there, all at once, at the same time which is highly unlikely.
you said that this is not a remake of the looney tunes but in fact it is,think of it like this what all grown up does for the rugrats is what loonatics does for looney tunes
There's a difference between "remaking" and "continuity"; remaking would be like changing everything completely around and saying that the Loonatics weren't descedents but of different origin, the same way with rugrats.
Continuity on the other hand simply takes off from another story and continues on with it from there. You can say that this is a sequal series, like Batman Beyond, it takes off where an old show has stopped and fastforwards to future events. That's what's gong on right now, these are descendents of the Loonatics years into the future.
now that that is out of the way on to the detail ok there jokes whould have been funney but instead it is a hit or miss and we have no idea how they all met, but maybe they will till us that in a episode someday.i like rev runner but hes just comes out as a gag character,and to put this all in a nutshell it trys to combine looney tune humor and teen titan style action falls short.
I agree, the show is pretty much of a combination of LT and TT entertaiment simply trying to be mixed together, which really ends up falling completely apart most of the time throughout the show. Though, like Teen Titans, I don't think we're ever going to find out about how they came together or what their story was before the accident happened. I think it's another one of those "figure it out for yourself" type of stories.

This sound much like Transformers. Beast Wars had a similar concept that it's some of the original Generation 1 characters decendants (Optimus Prime=Optimus Primal, G1 Megatron=BW Megatron) in the distant future. In fact, many of the characters also share same names from G1 (Silverbolt, Inferno, Scorponok, etc.) or even personalites/postions. Also, the Autobots are renamed Maximals and the Decepticons are renamed Predacons (presumedly after the Merge-Group Decepticon animals that combined into the gestalt Predaking in G1).
Power flows to the one who knows how. Desire alone is not enough.

Lexi Bunny was a reject from the Acme University cheerleader tryouts before the meteor hit. and there are six descendants of the loony tunes characters.

Tech was already an inventor working for a company, he was fired just before he got radiated
Rev as a speedy delivery person who also invented items (like a rocket boots)
Slam was a wrestler
The radiation enhanced their natural abilities and gave them new ones as well.
I remember Loony Tunes from way backand loved them but I am also enjoying these characters.
As mentioned by many posts these are the descendants of the original. Some traits have come through and others have been added like speech.
At least people who are seeing these might be interested to go back and see the original Looney Tunes.

Fans of the old cartoon certainly have more of a right to bash this bastardization than anyone else. You sir are simply a product of today's easily amused teenybopper generation.
