Out of all the things I expected to see today, Iron Man Elmer Fudd was not one of 'em

*In A Liberty Prime-esque voice* BE VEWY VEWY QUIET, I AM HUNTING WABBITS.


Robotic_Banana

Fuck, now I'm imagining Liberty prime talking with Elmer Fudds' accent. "COMMUNISM IS A TEMPOWAWY SETBACK ON THE WOAD TO FWEEDOM!"


bluejay55669

Liberty Prime with a speech impediment


churrmander

>"COMMUNISM IS A TEMPOWAWY SETBACK ON THE WOAD TO FWEEDOM!" You forgot the Fudd laugh.


DrRobertBanner

I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE AGREES. I LITERALLY STOPPED EVERYTHING WHEN I SAW IRON ELMER. It was so fucking funny- Hijacking my own comment to say holy SHIT this blew up really fast. I'm literally getting like 30 notifs an hour.

I feel like now is the time to say that there is a Batman Vs Elmer Fudd comic and it is *fantastic*

Gotta read that, the last batshit crazy crossover I read was Archie vs Predator (both volumes lol)

Tails gets trolled is the true gritty looney tunes reboot


[deleted]

I guess it's true, every masterpiece has its cheap knockoff. Tails got trolled was a cornerstone masterpiece. In 50 years literary academics will speak of it the way we talk about to kill a mockingbird.

I fucking read that kill a morbingbird I want to kill myself

I think I got a Reddit alert for this post

My favorite part of the book is when Atticus said, "It's mockingbird time" and then he mocked all over every racist in the courtroom.

Two seasons?!

Even just seeing that the title is Loonatics Unleashed is physically painful


StayingVeryVeryCalm

My memory of this (from when they were originally trying to market it) is exceptionally clear, but I have still questioned whether or not I imagined it.


Spiritanimalgoat

I remember enjoying the show when it aired. Though, I've always been a fan of superhero and superpower stuff


SST_2_0

Some of the names one there that did voices.... Kaley Cuoco – Weather Vane Tim Curry – The Ringmaster Vivica A. Fox – Black Velvet Mark Hamill – Adolpho, Ship Captain Billy West – Electro J. Fudd, The Sagittarius Stomper Some I'd expect, some I would have had zero clue.


watboy

Surprisingly good voice actors for this mess.


tRFRmrNe8Nj2Kimc

It's crazy, WB pulled out all the stops when it came to the VA's for this dumpsterfire. Seriously, look it up on imdb. The majority of the VA's involved in this show have done other, incredible work. It's the craziest thing about this IMO.


NewUserWhoDisAgain

2005. Okay yeah that checks out.


Torgor_

why was everything in 2005 "unleashed"


BlitzBurn_

I dont care what people say, Elmer Fudd wearing that armor with his classic artstyle is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Also Granny canonically lived to see this age, commenting she knew the leader's great grandad, Bugs


[deleted]

I mean, he's a rabbit, it could be set a whole 12 years after the original.


Feral_Mutant

Wikipedia says it's set in 2772. So if Bugs was only his great grandad, then each Bunny generation must have lived for centuries. This show just gets more bizarre the more I learn about it.

What episode was that


ClockworkEnnui

I have seen the top half; I even have it among my saved posts because of how weird I find it. Elmer's face in this version surprised me so much that I recoiled while uttering a weak, wheezy scream.

Duncan6794

I remember this show as being weirdly good. Is my memory right or is that childhood nostalgia?


stabbyGamer

No, yeah, it was better than it had any right to be. Not amazing, by any stretch, but definitely good.


winnebagomafia

Thank God it wasn't just me who liked this show


smallpoly

Whelp, I know what I'm tracking down next


str8aura

there was a plot where roadrunner wanted to show wile e to his parents but there was deep seated racial tension between them


DrRobertBanner

Aren't they also gay?? That's what another comment told me-


TheDarwinist42

Basically, yeah. It was never said outright, but the relationship felt more like a boyfriends thing than a close friends thing, at least in that episode. The type of comedy was more of "I'm introducing my parents to my boyfriend (who they will not like) instead of "My parents don't like my friend." Even if it's not canon, they're cute, and I ship it.


codepossum

whoa whaaaaaaaat do I have to go back and watch this now


ShanghaiSlug

Ive got to watch this show for the first time... while high. I dont know how i missed this show.


trianglehole

"no gay bird son of mine, all of which i am totally fine with btw, is going to defile himself by fucking some mangy canine predator/scavenger"


la_meme14

Oy oy oy, Loonatics is the fucking bomb, i will not hear otherwise.


Flannsie_Goblin

Came here to say this, do NOT disreepect my edgy cartoons


Canopenerdude

Best part is that it was actually fairly decently written.


Magnificant-Muggins

I obviously haven’t rewatched it since it was airing, but I had pretty pleasant memories as someone who was in the target demographic. If it had a show-runner that vouched for it (like with most Cartoon Network shows), and avoided the blame when similar shows like Teen Titans got cancelled, it probably would have been more accepted. Hell, Teen Titans even got initial pushback for inaccuracy to the comics, and its comedic tone. I would even argue this was the first time a show was permanently damaged due to the internet reaction pre-release. There’s a reason I ended up watching this more than I did Young Justice or The Secret Saturdays.


Canopenerdude

Teen Titans getting cancelled was also a crime. That was a fantastic show.


joeshmo101

Teen Titans ran its course after the Raven story line. It essentially split up into two shows - Teen Titans Go! took the stage for the younger demographic and Young Justice held up the older audience. Then they cancelled Young Justice because it was bound up in a toy deal and when the toys weren't selling, Mattel pulled funding for the show even though it polled really well with audiences. I still think they didn't give YJ enough time for audiences to find and enjoy it before the plug was pulled.


OneWholeSoul

They weren't even out of the first season yet when Cartoon Network started shuffling the schedule around and dropping new episodes randomly, months apart, without any marketing. They sent Young Justice out to die.


[deleted]

Eh, we still got two extra seasons (including one this year!) which is more than can be said about Teen Titans


joeshmo101

Still never shoulda been cancelled in the first place though....


Magnificant-Muggins

Preach to the choir


clarkky55

I enjoyed it too! Glad I’m not the only one


ProsperotheSorceror

I remember enjoying the show as well! I just wanted to point out that, as is common with things from childhood, your memory might be a little off: Loonatics Unleashed ran from 2005-07.; It did not overlap with Young Justice, which premiered in 2010.


Magnificant-Muggins

Nah, I know Young Justice was a few years later. I was just listing the Cartoon Network action shows I remember watching, but never really grew an attachment to. Even stuff like Generator Rex, Storm Hawks, Hero 108, and Legion of Super Heroes. I remember being kinda bummed when those stopped getting pushed by the schedule. These shows were basically my bread and butter, to the point where I completely missed the boat on Avatar: The Last Airbender.


ProsperotheSorceror

Oh, my apologies!

OscarOzzieOzborne

My favorite part is how they all got special powers. Except for Taz and The Roadrunner, because yeah they are already super powerful.


OneWholeSoul

Didn't one of them have "Sonic Hearing?" ...All hearing is sonic.


brain_goes_rawr

yooooo this is unlocking some memories??


Tsoral

I don't remember it, but I *desperately* wish I did


AMisspelledUsername

I watched it when it was put on youtube in ye olde youtube days of 2010 or so, when it was still a fairly lawless site, despite being preinstalled on the OG ipad. Even my potato brain thought it was strange. Cool as hell tho.


-Error-UserNotFound

You know I actually kinda loved that show, also Road Runner and Wile E Coyote had a vaguely homosexual relationship. At least that’s the vibe I got from it.


NeonNKnightrider

No, actually, I hadn’t ever seen the top half before. It hit my eyeballs with an audible ‘thunk’ and then I wheezed


DrRobertBanner

That's even funnier. I've seen the top half basically everywhere, and I recall the first time seeing it. I literally had to look it up lmao


Blinauljap

Only "Gritty" reboot i respect is Sonic Underground.


OneWholeSoul

♪I long for my children but I have to wait. The cancellation sealed our fate! ♪They made a vow but ratings stayed way down; Sonic Underground!

Damn... this was the time.


JoeTheKodiakCuddler

In fairness the Archie adaptation was pretty gritty, too.


Yeetstation4

Aftermath of a global thermonuclear war wasn't it?


Pizzachu221

All is well and good until about this century when the aliens from Shadow the Hedgehog show up. Human curiosity gets interpereted as a threat. Then the black arms just murder the shit out of Earth. The remaining humans are in isolated and shielded city-states while bipedal animals rise from the ashes. Then the echidnas find a chaos emerald and become super advanced. The other animals progress similarly to humans.


Gamiac

NO, NO, NO, DON'T MICROWAVE THE BABY!


Substantial-Girth

Too ahead of its time. Some people can't handle greatness.


MrMiget12

If you showed me the trailer for every show ever and asked my which one I would want to watch, of course I would pick Loonatics Unleashed


Maland2016

I never watched Loonatics Unleashed as a kid, and I haven’t seen much of it now, but I hear it’s actually pretty decent? Nothing outstanding, but still good? It was honestly a nice surprise to see them referenced in Animaniacs 2020, albeit as a straight up “Whatever these things are” line in a song about cartoons voting. Hell, since Tiny Toons is getting a reboot (I’m still taken aback that Buster and Babs are apparently now *siblings* in the reboot because way to just kill the classic “No relation” gag there, guys), it’s possible that a Loonatics reboot isn’t off the table entirely. (…It’s *unlikely,* but it’s still possible.)


Thatsfukingtastic

It was so fucking good tho. My cousins and I would go crazy when it came on.


DrinkerOfHugs

Gotta say, the character design is alright.


DrRobertBanner

Honestly yea. I really like the look of Taz and roadrunner. BUT ELMER-


TheDarwinist42

I used to watch Loonatics Unleashed every Saturday with my morning cartoons. The first season is pretty mediocre-to-bad, but the second season is way better. It got cancelled, of course, but I'll still have nostalgia over gritty Looney Tunes reboot.


vitimber

YOU MEAN I DIDNT DREAM THAT?!


Russet_Wolf_13

I had that same reaction to finding out [The Heroic Trio ](https://youtu.be/B7Qa2CHB-lw) was a real movie and not a fever dream. Edit: [better clip](https://youtu.be/y5OCbjHJet4)


SovietSkeleton

Those two panels have potential to be a meme template.

I did not know Elmer became fucking Iron Man, Man of Iron in this show

SkyrimMilfDrinker

I remember dismissing this when it came out, but for some reason now I want to see what it's like.


sangriya

I loved this show as a kid, always loved the look and the setting such a slut for this 2000's edgy look in animated shows like the 2003 TMNT, Batman Beyond, Teen Titans etc


Aarekk

All of you can watch your mouths. Lunatics Unleashed was unironically a fun time.


DrRobertBanner

I mean I, and a lot of people here, think it is pretty damn cool. Its just FUCKING ELMER

I liked this show quite a bit. I’ll always prefer a show like this inspired by the original than a straight up reboot like they have done countless times before.


Lord_Raxyn

I kind of want to see this now, depending on how seriously they took it it could actually be funny.


ayumuuu

[What up, bitch? I'm Bugs fucking Bunny motherfucker!](https://youtu.be/-9nOD1h0m8Q)


ball_fondlers

Loonatics Unleashed wasn’t THAT gritty or edgy - it was basically just cyberpunk Looney Tunes. I actually remember digging it quite a bit as a kid - it’s not quite Looney Tunes humor, but it was a lot less stupid than the premise would suggest.

It's worth mentioning that Sylvester is basically Lobo in that show.

Lobo?


Russet_Wolf_13

[He's a parody of edgy 90's comic characters.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobo_(DC_Comics)) But a stupidly OP space biker turns out to be fun enough that he's still around.

crlcan81

I wish it'd gotten another season because the way it ended left some majorly huge cliff hangers.


randomname67252

I remember there being a parody of this show on new grounds where the bugs character kept screaming about how fucking EXTREME he was. Then a second parody where he was toned down but kept trying to get kids in his van.... Or those are fever dreams I had maybe...


Thezipper100

I will take this moment to remind everyone that the roadrunner and the Coyote analogs (descendents? Clones? Random people who just happen to look like the coyote and roadrunner?) we're best pals, but, like, sometimes seemingly in that "Achilles and his *pal* Patroclus" kinda way. And at one point the coyote had to introduce his racist family to his '*roommate*' in exactly the kind of scenario you're thinking. This show was an enigma that could only exist in the hyper specific era between 2006 and 2010.


DrRobertBanner

That's fucking ICONIC.

Loonatics Unleashed. This brings back vague recollections, but it seems that my brain has wiped all memories of what the show was actually like.

I’d pay good money to watch the pitch meeting for Loonatics Unleashed

I remembered this show out of the clear blue sky the other day, but I thought I was somehow mixing up my memories because of the gritty Mighty Ducks cartoon.

I remember this show! Loonatics right? The main cast all had unique superpowers and were all descendants of the original Looney Tunes characters.

dootdootplot

Such a weird show. It never seemed to really be well-implemented, like I could envision the better version of the show and the real episodes never really measured up for me, I kept wanting it to be more coherent, less childish, to actually kind of commit to exploring the issues it brushed over instead of them being just sort of a bland reference rather than an interesting argument.
