<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Dr. Butler announces his demand
that he is the world’s new leader because of his powers, but we hear this from
a tape Dr. Kim’s playing. Not an announcement Butler’s making himself, which is
really weird. Maybe he was waiting until later, because then the ECG monitor, I
mean, computer sucks Dr. Kim inside because he knows too much, but this ain’t
my first terrible Korean ripoff anime. Tight plotting is the last thing you can
accuse them of.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Bizarrely Youthful
Assistants get a call asking for Dr. Kim, and we find out the guy’s name is
Keith. That’s a relief. I was afraid I’d have to call him Sleazy Male Bizarrely
Youthful Assistant for the whole rest of the review. Some of these ripoff anime
are even worse at naming their main characters than they are at plotting. He
goes to find Dr. Kim when Tsundere Bizarrely Youthful Assistant becomes
despondent from breaking her pencil on her <i>typewriter</i>, but then says he was just fucking around
and he’s actually going to the arcade. This total lack of responsibility saves
Keith when Tsundere Female Assistant (Sheila) goes instead and gets sucked into
the ECG monitor too.</span></p>

indeterminate amount of time since Roger Wilco rocketed away from Vohaul’s

star fields, its course altered many times by small asteroids and space debris.
Inside, Roger lies undisturbed in his sleep chamber…but not for long.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzMdK5XekPPEo1TXGWEb1oG7qySXPFVH3H7lrtxwf56YMeo99bnW5DONw6wuY0JEZAGpBaZ00liLpLSImgChtGAosh2bj5VHDEwL2de5IZM7TD1GGUXtZC5k4qnFE7FfndM6jOiA9vBoCnIxXhspVsTs9Dfz2tmm-F-Q024aqRAIx55o0kir5UDzn/s640/Screenshot%20(217).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMzMdK5XekPPEo1TXGWEb1oG7qySXPFVH3H7lrtxwf56YMeo99bnW5DONw6wuY0JEZAGpBaZ00liLpLSImgChtGAosh2bj5VHDEwL2de5IZM7TD1GGUXtZC5k4qnFE7FfndM6jOiA9vBoCnIxXhspVsTs9Dfz2tmm-F-Q024aqRAIx55o0kir5UDzn/s320/Screenshot%20(217).png" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Pirates of Pestulon </i>is my favorite game in the Space Quest series. First,
because this is when the games’ sense of humor solidified for real.
There were times earlier games had cracked jokes, but they could be really
scary sometimes. Like in the caves of Kerona or the jungle of Labion with all the
alien monsters who’d be happy to kill you, if you couldn’t read the designers’
minds on how to survive. Now, even the deaths are humorous and cartoony with
the images they add in to the “restore/restart/quit” menu.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Instead of having death
rays, the bad guys have jello guns. Instead of the dumb premise of an evil mastermind sending
minions to kill a lowly janitor to keep him from spoiling their plan for
universal domination, a robot’s sent to kill you for a bureaucratic slip-up
where they think you owe money on a free toy whistle.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZIjIRavcaQs4T_mG35QBRj7i_qqNhrY-nvCVKqbwp-nX2XuJVjsOg-j2iiGG8KH-0yaeRPRNkh_QIfw7MvqhnoA8SwhZcqSDfIXE06Bb6_4zscWKwc8LOWWdpIkX1Ukm9s5VQJOQMN692oFN3MfambW6YMwILTFmKkY0UnsNfOykLhhsl96jGIXd/s640/Screenshot%20(225).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZIjIRavcaQs4T_mG35QBRj7i_qqNhrY-nvCVKqbwp-nX2XuJVjsOg-j2iiGG8KH-0yaeRPRNkh_QIfw7MvqhnoA8SwhZcqSDfIXE06Bb6_4zscWKwc8LOWWdpIkX1Ukm9s5VQJOQMN692oFN3MfambW6YMwILTFmKkY0UnsNfOykLhhsl96jGIXd/s320/Screenshot%20(225).png" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

because of the limited space the developers had to work with, while you can go
anywhere you want in this game, most of where you can go’s taken up by empty

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
first learned about Villains & Vigilantes when I was on a backpacking trip
one summer. Our group stopped at this little town somewhere in North Carolina
so everybody could shower and gas up the van, and the place we stopped to do
that had this little mom and pop shop that had, strangely enough, a display
case of modules for various Fantasy Games Unlimited systems. No idea what that
was doing there, and the only other one I remember is the Daredevils one that
had the dinosaurs. Since I needed some reading material for the long drive out
to our next stop I laid down two bucks for the one that had a superhero
fighting a samurai on the cover, and that’s how I picked the suit colors for
Kamen Rider Tarock.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Search
for the Sensei was one of the last things released for Villains &
Vigilantes before its multi-decade hiatus, and one of the things that endeared
it to me back in the day was just how much of a relic of the 80’s it ended up being,
when we first heard about ninja warriors and thought they were the coolest
thing ever even though all we had to go off of were stupid low-budget action
movies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Part
of it is the author’s praised for his obvious love and knowledge of Japanese
culture on the inside cover. These days it’s a lot easier to look at names like
Sin-Ting Kenokogi, Lotus Sawara and Chai-Li Shigetta and chuckle at the idea
that they’re supposed to sound like the names of actual Japanese people. Or
Tetsuya Kori. Yes, that is a real Japanese name. But it’s a man’s name.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
should probably talk about the actual adventure at some point, shouldn’t I?
Things open on one of the PC’s happening upon some thugs about to mug a teenage
girl, “and who knows what else”. Luckily our hero is hopefully more than a match
for a couple of two-bit gangbangers and can learn that the victim is Sin-Ting
Kenokogi , who lost her ability to speak by the psychological shock of seeing
her mother murdered. A gimmick that even the adventure basically admits will
get really annoying if none of the PC’s is a telepath.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Besides
just being accosted, she’s distraught because her father, diplomat Shiro
Kenokogi, has disappeared without a trace. And unbeknownst to them he’s not
only been kidnapped by super-powered yakuza, but was also formerly the masked
crusader known as the Sensei, but put away his costume when his wife was
killed. Hence the title.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
encounters and maps are designed pretty decently. For some reason the thing I
still remember best is that Sin-Ting is apparently a big fan of Scott Baio.
Also an encounter with a hero called the Rising Sun (the dude on the cover)
where it’s setup for the PC’s to think he’s a villain and get in a bit of good
old poorly-motivated hero vs. hero stuff. Once that’s resolved he can help them
out as an NPC, although he probably makes a better meat shield than an actual
helper in a fight.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Because
of his big Invulnerability score, I mean.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Looking back, I
think the villains were a little underwhelming after sampling more of what
the game was like, though, with other modules typically having a great mix of
really unique villains (if often kind of goofy ones). One is just Odd Job from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Goldfinger</i>, killer hat and all. A couple
of the earlier ones are mainly just ladies who fight with gimmicked staffs,
little different from the legions of ninja warriors who reinforce them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
then V&V went on hiatus for over 20 years, the publishers lost touch with a
lot of their contributors, and the manuscript for the sequel got lost in the
mail when Fantasy Games Unlimited moved their offices to a different state. Fortunately
they eventually got in touch again and it turned out the author still had a
copy in a drawer somewhere, and here we have the final chapter in the “Sensei”
duology.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
sequel does open with some small disappointments. First is just a matter of
personal taste, but it brings up a superhero team called the Alliance who were
the ones who saved the day in Search for the Sensei if the GM decides to run
the second module without the first. I was kinda hoping for character sheets
for them, filling out their ranks from the heroes seen on the back covers of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">both</b> modules. To have someone to crash
in and come to the rescue if the players get in trouble, if you need a gameplay
justification, maybe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
just like having premade NPC heroes and especially hero teams sometimes that I
can drop into my campaign to add some color, or maybe to have other heroes
around the players can show up by saving the day and feeling more like they’ve
accomplished great things at the end of a session. Or have to try harder
because they themselves were outdone by some NPC’s in the end. Pre-Emptive
Strike threw in a team like that for no real reason, I wouldn’t mind seeing it
done more often.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another
thing is the kickoff for the adventure, where the yakuza send a trio of
assassins to get rid of the heroes/avenge the organization’s previous defeat.
Counters for them actually appeared in Search for the Sensei.</span></div>

fact, most of the new villains are basically ninja. The three assassins are
ninja. A villain in each of the three other encounters is a ninja. Shiro
Kenokogi will resume his heroic identity as the Sensei to help out the players
as an NPC, yet another ninja. And of course there’s all the ones as faceless
underlings.</span></div>

no disrespect to the author, but I much preferred the almost woodcut-like look

if that’s tied into changing the assassins from supervillains to dime a dozen
ninja.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There
are some interesting encounters in the sequel, and the big baddie is fairly
interesting even if he feels like a scaled-back Mandarin (his main firepower
comes from six magic rings, each with a different power). There are some cute
little Asian additions to the V&V bestiary that the PC’s might need to
contend with on their way to the boss’s fortress too (although frankly if they
could handle the muggers at the beginning of the first module it’s damn hard to
imagine these being a threat).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
big time lapse wasn’t especially kind to it, though. “Search for the Sensei”
came out when we were just getting our first taste of Japanese culture here in
the states, when it was so cool and mysterious and those of us who were
interested in such things ate up anything we could get our hands on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
now it’s 2017. Japanese cultural imports are almost as easy to get as if you
actually lived there. We know what actual Japanese people’s names are like now.
More potential readers will probably think that the use of “sama” as a title like
“lord” or “master” is not exactly accurate (the big bad guy leader's villain name is "Ichiban Sama (Number One Master)"). And of course V&V itself has dipped its toe in the anime market in the years since its reawakening with stuff
like the Great Bridge-twofer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Stripped of cheesy nostalgia, Revenge
of the Yakuza is a decent V&V module on its own merit. I particularly like
the final villain, I liked the two villains who’ll try to lure an opponent into
a weather-simulating chamber to give themselves the advantage. The enemy who
might become an ally in the final chapter if the truth about the big villain
comes out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
remember a time when they were still making V&V peripherals besides roster
books. Ah well, at least that sequel to “Search for the Sensei” is turning out to be a real thing
after all. Maybe you don’t care, but I do…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Before
getting to the book itself I suppose there’s the momentous
announcement in the foreword that Fantasy Games Unlimited is working with a
little outfit called <a href="http://www.tenaciouscomics.com/">Tenacious Comics</a> to put out a new Villains &
Vigilantes comic book. No word on which heroes and villains they’re planning to
focus on yet, and I have to admit I can’t help feeling leery of a company whose
rather slim library actually includes a series called “Worst Day Ever!” I don’t
care if it’s supposed to be a parody, that name makes it sound like a lazy
parody. And there's nothing less funny than a lazy parody.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
should talk about the villains, but sadly the selection doesn’t have quite the
verve of previous villain books for this game. I read through the entire thing,
and while I remembered some names and looks, I could think of almost none that
I’d like to actually use in a campaign.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Probably
the most unique of the villains featured in this book is Vardagax, an alien
vampire of sorts who is completely immortal, even able to eventually revive
from complete disintegration. I can easily see a mini-campaign being built
around the players repeatedly running into this unkillable menace and trying to
find some way to stop him for good. Probably after the GM gives him a new name
that’s actually scary, though…I suppose my next favorite after that is
Metallion, short for “Metal Batallion,” a giant crazed military robot because
for some reason the scientists on the project let a former Nazi program the
brain. Nothing particularly sophisticated about the build, but a big marauding
monster it takes the whole group to beat is something every superhero campaign
needs once in a while and it’s always nice to have another one ready to go. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After
that the next most interesting inclusion is probably the single premade team in
the book, but that’s really not too much of a recommendation. Aside from their
somewhat generic strongman and sorceress members, there’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sort of</i> an elements of nature theme to the Masters of Menace. The
leader, the uninspired Blue Mist, is played kind of like the modern tragic Mr.
Freeze, but his belief in the group as a surrogate family’s blunted a little by
how straight-up villainous most of them are. I do kind of like some of their
powers; one of their energy projectors can blow himself up and reform later,
and it notes that since he recovers energy while in the process of reforming,
he can theoretically just keep blowing himself up and reforming over and over. I’m
sure I could come up with some amusing uses for a power like that. These could
be a decent villain team, although I see them in need of some tinkering to their
backgrounds and motivations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
I can only review the published product.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There’s
Ghost Dancer, who has a garment empowered by Native American magic that she
uses as a super-powered thief, but what interested me is it’s implied that this
was used by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">heroes</i> in the past, and
it’s subtly encouraging her to abandon her selfish lifestyle the more she uses
it. Lamia was kind of interesting for her build <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">as a killer snake la<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">dy, </span></span>if not necessarily her
background.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Unfortunately
I have little good to say about the rest of the selection. Rhinosaurus was an
okay attempt at a tragic monster of a villain, but I’d only ever use him with a
new name. Hellmark certainly has a formidable power with what’s basically
inescapable mind control against anyone who he touches, but it seems like
someone who’s the head of a massive occult cabal like he’s supposed to be
should have a bigger arsenal than pretty much just that. Red Flag’s an okay
speedster character but has a weird name for her type. Soldat is a decent super-assassin
of the kind we all need once in a while, but on the other hand it’s 2017. Aren’t
we past using ex-KGB hitman in our supervillain roster books already??</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
think the one I’m least impressed by is Warhawk, basically a low-rent Hawkman
knockoff (like we didn’t just have one of those in <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2016/06/villains-and-vigilantes-villains.html">the last villain book</a>…oh
wait, we did) with the added power of being able to make people angry. This
wouldn’t be so bad but his motivation is to take over the world eventually. By
himself, with those abilities? His background as an alien convict opens more
doors for storytelling than he does himself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
includes the additions to the character sheets of how much XP the villains are worth,
even showing thwarted vs. actually captured, so that appears to be a regular
thing now. And for what it’s worth this is not part two of the little trilogy
they were trying to string together starting with the mini-adventure packed in
with the last villain book the company released. I’m pretty sure I’d be even
more disappointed with that anthology adventure if this was the next product
slapped onto it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There’s
also an add-on for a new rule regarding weapons tied to a hero’s particular
theme, allowing for a small pool of weapons or devices sacrificing pure power
in the interests of a little extra breadth. I think it’s an interesting idea
and could help keep a player’s list of powers fresh for a longer time, since
after a while a set of rules with no real growth system for powers makes them
seem kind of stale. The two characters used as examples even show up in the
counter sheets, although no sheets for them are to be seen. It might be fun to
write them up… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
guess the thing I’m most curious about from this book are how sometimes it
name-drops various superheroes the villains included have run into before. With
a hero roster book being one of FGU’s upcoming releases, can we look forward to
seeing them? And hopefully finding something more memorable to use there?</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This actually happened about two months ago, but I'm still kind of trying to deal with the news. Joe Dever, creator of the <i>Lone Wolf</i> fantasy RPG series, has left us. It's always hard to lose someone whose work you admire, but Joe Dever wasn't just a favorite author, he's always been one of my heroes.<br />
<br />
The series is one of the more well-known examples of the interactive book craze of the 1980's, as well as one of the more involved with it basically being a solitaire role-playing game where you managed the hero's inventory, statistics and rolled dice to fight enemies and escape danger.<br />
<br />
It wasn't the first series to include that kind of thing; <i><a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2010/12/warlock-of-firetop-mountain.html">Fighting Fantasy</a> </i>had been out for a little while already when the first book came out, and the <i>Sorcery!</i> mini-series also had <i>Lone Wolf</i>'s gimmick of being able to import your character from book to book a little earlier too. The difference was that <i>Lone Wolf</i> had that as a central idea from the beginning: you played a single character across the entire series. As you created your character you selected from a list of special skills to give him, and every time you completed an adventure you got to level up by picking a new one, in addition to being able to carry over your magic weapons and stash of healing potions into the next book.<br />
<br />
And with the series developing a well-earned reputation for ball-busting difficulty sometimes, you'd be glad you had them.<br />
<br />
But more than just giving you a great feeling of progression, this meant that unlike series such as <i>Fighting Fantasy</i> there was a single cohesive setting and mythology from day one that only got more vivid and immersive the deeper you read into it (remember all those "If you've been to <X Location> in a previous <i>Lone Wolf</i> adventure" moments?). Eventually there were spinoffs too, where you controlled the wizard Grey Star in his quest to save a distant land from evil, and a series of non-interactive novels that covered a lot of the same material as the main series but shifted the perspective from time to time to give other important characters time in the spotlight and let you see things that only got oblique mentions in the interactive books. RPG's, a world book that even taught you the language of some of the monsters...it was truly an empire.<br />
<br />
Speaking personally, this massive singular setting was one of the things that really helped me to get interested in reading, and ultimately in writing adventure stories of my own (including <a href="https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12052964/1/Voice-of-Ruin">an insipid little one-shot</a>). To me the Sommerswerd is still the most badass magical blade of all time, and the Helghast still haunt my dreams.<br />
<br />
And it would be heartbreaking enough to lose such an influential creator<i>, </i>but the <i>Lone Wolf </i>brand had actually started making a comeback in the last few years too. <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/279440/">A video game</a> came out that Joe not only wrote but even narrated. A new RPG boxed set too. And saddest of all we finally got <i>The Storms of Chai</i>, book 29 of the main series and the first new book in almost twenty years, but also the first in a planned four-book arc to give the series a proper conclusion. The ideas behind it promised to be pretty epic, with the forces of evil suddenly on the attack everywhere at once, and the best and brightest of Lone Wolf's pupils sent to the far corners of the world to find out why and how to stop them.<br />

What happens next is still unknown. In the meantime, though, I suggest visiting <a href="https://www.projectaon.org/">Project Aon</a>, a web archive where all of the major material for the book series and the Grey Star spinoff can be read for free with the original creators' blessing. They've even got the world book and the comic book one-shot. It was a huge part of my development, maybe it can be part of someone else's because of this little article too.<br />
<br />
Thank you, Joe. You left a mark on me that will never fade. Truly you will be missed.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">World
War II seems like an awfully ripe topic for adaptation with Villains &
Vigilantes lately. This, the second in a series of such material from Darren
Tenor after the “Homefront” collection of mini-adventures, promises four more
in the foreword alone, with the author noting it’s something of a personal
mission to make a cohesive wartime setting for the game. Hell, Monkey House
might not be aiming for the same number of releases, but they promise to match
volume with one of the rewards of their recent Kickstarter campaign being a
WWII sourcebook running <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">three hundred or
more pages</i> (I’ll let you know when and if I get it).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Anyway,
while I admit “Homefront” didn’t do a lot to fire my imagination, “World War II
Super Soldiers” is a different can of worms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">First
thing’s first, which is that the cover artist and the author apparently didn’t
coordinate, so the supers depicted on the cover were just a bunch of generic
WWII-style heroes complete with names and a basic idea of their powers. Meaning none of them are actually in the book at all. That did bug me, and that’s not the only
place this happens. Some characters from included characters’ write-ups don’t
show up either, like included character Blut Engel’s buddy Donnerhammer isn’t
in the book. Personally I would’ve tried to keep these mentions to the second
book as much as possible so all the characters I’m talking about are already
out there, but…eh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There’s
a fair bit of mentioning guys who aren’t actually written up, unfortunately, as
the characters who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are </i>included are,
not too surprisingly, divided up according to what country they’re loyal to. In
describing what each’s general attitude toward superhumans in its military was (Canada's was to brand a lot of theirs into those scantily-clad ladies painted on bombers) and how invested each country was in creating its own, it lists off some of the
most prominent ones, and a lot of them don’t actually follow with their
character sheets. Presumably these going to appear in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">next</i> WWII roster book this one already announces. Between this and
the serialized adventure packed in with “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2016/06/villains-and-vigilantes-villains.html">Villains Unleashed</a>,” seems like
they’re really trying to incentivize their wares lately.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
are the characters themselves good, that’s what you really want to know. In general
I’d say yes, though it doesn’t have any I think I’d use as ongoing campaign
features even if I ever did run a WWII setting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
think my favorites out of all the characters in the book were probably Gypsy
Queen and Professor Grimm, both spellcasters, and while they certainly had some
interesting assortments available to them I found myself most appreciating the
outlooks and the possibilities to play them off the PC’s. Gypsy Queen for
instance is a good person working for Italy during wartime, but is loyal to her
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">country</i> without necessarily being
loyal to its <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">government</i>. Grimm is a
century-old sorcerer and mystical mastermind, but the type to manipulate others
to carry out his grand designs and probably gate out if a bunch of PC’s tried
to corner him into a fight.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
level of detail on the spells used by those characters really shows the care
put into them (I liked how Gypsy can magically paint her weapons to make them
more damaging), as well as skills on the ninja-type character, Yami. That such detail
has to be created to represent skills honestly makes me wonder, though, if it
might not be time to overhaul the rules FGU hasn’t really touched in over 30
years.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Other
particularly interesting characters from the line-up include the Outsider, a
high-tech soldier from a dystopian future sent to alter a disaster but doesn’t
realize he’s not on his own Earth anymore. Lightning Rod is likewise displaced
from his true time, but was the big winner on a superhero reality show and
longs to get back, even if his actual powers aren’t that unique. R, the robot
who’s the only survivor of a survey ship and who’s now a double agent for
Soviet subversives against their own country. Robyn and the Hoods, the female
bandit who robs from the rich and gives to the poor, but in a society where the
authorities aren’t all a bunch of corrupt brigands and it’s not as clean-cut as
she’d like to think. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sadly
the book does fall prey to some of the worn out stereotypes of the era and the
various countries. If you were wondering if one of Germany’s supers would be a
Valkyrie, give yourself a cookie. If you thought there’d be members of the
Communist party who used a hammer and sickle as weapons and one who controlled
ice (especially connected to Siberia), a Japanese samurai warrior and a German powerhouse called Ubermensch,
well…at least there’s nobody based on origami or geishas. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yet</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Although
I did get the feeling that the reason there’s no water-controlled named Tsunami
is the fact that the setting already has two… (“Enter the Dragon’s Claw: Honor”
and “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2011/02/villains-and-vigilantes-into-sub-realm.html">Into the Sub-Realm</a>”)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another
thing I wish the book might’ve done better was being more consistent when it
referred to stuff in other modules. Sometimes it mentions where you can find
somebody specific like Master Zero from “Most Wanted #3” in referring to a
phenomenon where certain characters got their powers, or how exactly a
character from the <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2012/04/villains-and-vigilantes-signs-of-zodiac.html">Zodiac</a> got their enchanted gauntlets. Other times it makes
mention of characters and settings but you really need to be familiar with the
other products to catch them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For
instance, the listing of prominent American superhumans includes Captain
Crisis, Lady Liberty and Mr. America, who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</i>
already written up in published material. It does <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> throw in a parenthetical comment telling you to look in
“<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2011/04/villains-and-vigilantes-vigilantes.html">Vigilantes International</a>” for their sheets, though. Likewise there’s nothing
about how German villain The Stuka is presumably the one written up in
“Super-Crooks and Criminals” (which came out in frigging <i>1986</i>). In Professor Grimm’s background it mentions
worlds with magical inhabitants like Vine and Razer. Vine I’m pretty sure is referring
to the alternate world from “The Pentacle Plot,” but I’d have to go reading
through my other sourcebooks looking specifically for the name to know what the
hell Razer is. Supposing it ain’t from something Mr. Tennor’s planning to
release but hasn’t yet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Probably
the most entertaining part of all is the detailed support organizations
included for a lot of the characters. Like wife of Golden Eagle and surrogate
mother of Kid Kestrel (and real soon-to-be mother to Golden Eagle’s kid, not
that she’s told him so he won’t think about leaving the front lines). All the
details on the dystopian future Outsider comes from and the line of robots he
employs as personal bodyguards were great, and a ripe setting for a campaign
all by itself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Carmine’s
Concubine’s and the Hoods were pretty cool, basically being like the listing of
minions like say, Od’s Avant Guards from “Most Wanted #1” but going a step
beyond to give their names and a basic idea of their place in each operation
and a brief idea of how they played off each other. I enjoy the classic stuff,
but going that extra mile here was definitely a good inclusion.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One
of the included supers being a Valkyrie means there’s also a rundown of
Valhalla works, since that’s the place where Valkyrie take fallen soldiers to
fight for eternity. While it explains exactly how the compulsion to battle
there works in game terms, it says nothing in particular about the Norse gods
or why exactly Valkyrie collect dead soldiers and bring them to this place that
mystically enables them to fight forever (Valkyrie actually select the greatest
warriors from battles and bring them to Valhalla so the gods will have an army
of the greatest warriors who ever lived when a war that spreads across all
creation comes, and they fight constantly to keep their skills sharp). Then <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">again I suppose most peo<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">ple who know what Valhalla is already know what Ra<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">gnarok is too.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All
this, along with a big collection of counters of various soldiers, adds up to a
pretty pleasing package. Really my biggest complaint is how the references to
other material were kind of spotty, but all in all, this is one worth having.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes
it’s hard to find something to say about a roster book for an RPG other “worth
it” or “not worth it”. This time I can safely start with “they were really
trying something different with this one”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Main
thing setting it apart is instead of just a block of bare third-person
narration giving you each character’s background, it’s presented as the
findings of a reporter writing a book about our nation’s supervillains. Mainly it’s
to leave some villains who are particularly mysterious so you’ll have a
complete character sheet ready for you, but the details of where the villain
comes from and how they act are for you to decide as best suits your campaign. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plus with this approach there’d be an actual
reason if the profile were to find it necessary to say, mention that <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2011/07/villaisn-and-vigilantes-great-bridge.html">a curvaceous female badass was in her underwear.</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Besides
the collection of loose villains the book also has a pair of “themed” villain
teams. The first is based on colors, and while I think that’s an interesting
idea, the members don’t actually stick to any particular scheme too hard,
either having power effects of the relevant color, or for a couple just wearing
a costume that’s the right color. Like Big Blue, whose power is being a
super-strong colossus but that’s it, and Viridian who’s a mage but who it doesn’t
even say anything about her magic having green special effects. It’s mostly
typical stuff like astral projection, telepathy and precognition, too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Which
isn’t to say Spectrum isn’t a fun villain group and one I wouldn’t mind using
on a semi-regular basis if I ever played the game again. My favorite’s the
leader, Red Tide, whose power is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_tide">red tide.</a>
You’d expect the red guy to be an angry powerhouse, and that was pretty
original. I also like Indiglow, who even if he has kind of a dumb name is an
evil second-story-man version of Green Lantern which is pretty cool. Respect
also for having the first lesbian couple I’m aware of in an indie superhero
RPG. Overall Spectrum is a fun group I recommend.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
other team is the Malevolents, and while they’re a decent villain group<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">,</span> “themed?” There’s Greyhawk who’s
basically an evil Hawkman down to the mask, superhuman eyesight and archaic
weapon of choice, Cerberus the wolf-guy who can sprout another two heads and
breathe fire, typical giant strong guy Slab, vibration-emitting Pulsator and
luck-manipulator Miss Fortune. They’ve got an interesting mixture of powers and
I could definitely see using them a time or two in a campaign. But the only
theme I see is them all meeting in jail and deciding to team up when they got
out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">From
there the collection of “loose” villains run the scale from good to lame, as
they often do, but I think in this case it’s more of the good than the bad,
partly because of the book’s idea of a framing device allowing the GM to just
pick up a villain with some interesting powers and make them their own. I
really liked Killshot’s build as a mysterious assassin, and Freeze-R-Burn with
his mixture of powers if not exactly his name. Glamazon was cool if only
because there really need to be more tough women in superhero stuff than
She-Hulk and Won<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">der Woman</span>. Quarry’s an okay super-tough rockbeast, but I think I’ll always
prefer Terra-Rizer from “Super-Crooks and Criminals” as my rage-filled rock
monster of choice, with his power to sorta-kinda turn invisible among other
rocks and how different power attacks do different things to his durability.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Zeitgeist,
the ghost burglar, was another especially nice idea. I also liked the Power
Pirate, who as his name implies can temporarily steal the PC’s powers, though
as-written I’m worried that outside of a string of critical hits the effects
would be too short-lived to have much of a point besides beating the players
down with their own attacks. Surely we can do better than that. <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/01/loonatics-unleashed-sypher.html">Loonatics Unleashed</a> did better than that, and we should all be able to do better than Loonatics Unleashed.<br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I
don’t really care how much of a badass he is, though (and he is that), I don’t
think I’d ever be able to have my players fight a villain named Evil Jim with a
straight face.<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"> It's nice the <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">authors included how much EXP <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">each<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"> villain's worth <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">on their character sheet, though. Saves time<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"> for sure.</span></span></span></span></span></span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And
there’s a couple new powers packed in the book too, although they seemed mostly
to be a way of making invulnerability and force fields less impregnable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Of
course, “Villains Unleashed” tries to be more than just a source of ready-made
villains by also having the first in a three-part adventure, to try to entice
you to buy the next product with the next mini-adventure in it. But frankly,
based on the first part whether I buy it or not’s probably going to depend a
lot more on the book it’s packed in with.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
one evidently centers around a new Shadowy Evil Organization named Triskelion.
Guess I’ll put that up on the shelf with Intercrime, TOTEM, The Dragon’s Claw,
TIC-TAC-TOE, VILE, and Shadow of the recently released “Clockworks”. With all due
respect to the author, their most distinctive feature is being made up of three
main branches, three leaders. Not terribly distinctive.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
encounters are certainly solid enough on their own and if you buy this book, by
all means you should run them. But they’re generic robberies, and deliberately
so, with the authors saying to the GM, “We want your fingerprints all over it”
and for you to be the one who comes up with the payoff for the theme running
between what’s stolen in the pregen encounters. Yeah, the GM should definitely be prepared to
do that, but<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"> </span>the<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">y</span> also split this adventure up over three books trying to make
it more likely I’d buy all three books. I’m not saying I won’t, not at all, I’m
saying it could’ve been incentivized better. If I decide to r<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">un a <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">premade adventure I should definitely be prepared to personalize it some<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">. But I should<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"> probably also not need to and be able to just run it right<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"> out of <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">th<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">e box, at least if it's something I'm paying money for, and es<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">pecially if it's supposed to make it more likely <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">for me to buy the next two books in a series</span></span>. The a<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">uthor can't possibly account for everything in every stranger's game, but why the villains are stealing what the<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">y're stealing is something I do expect them to tell me.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And
it’s very serious about playing the adventure out as an ongoing campaign,
reminding the GM to dole out experience after every encounter by mentioning it
again after the description for every encoun<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">t</span>er. Even the encounter where the
entire thing is the players literally magically being gifted with all known
information about Triskelion. I’m sorry authors, I really am, but no. A wizard
hands them a written history, practically a <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">textbook deus ex machina</span>; that’s not worth experience points, no matter how
well the players turn in their roles, and could set a really bad precedent. If
you guys think fighting NPC good guys shouldn’t be worth EXP, neither should
that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If
you enjoy V&V, buy this book. But buy it for the premade villains.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Without
going into too much detail, as I’m pondering a rundown of the game itself
sometime, once upon a time a designer at R. Talsorian Games found out about a
really funny sci-fi/school comedy anime called Urusei Yatsura and evidently
thought it would be a great basis for a role-playing game. And thus was born
Teenagers From Outer Space, where creatures from across the cosmos have decided
to enroll their kids in human schools and expose them to such radical ideas as
individuality and capitalism. The players control these star spawn, or the
lucky kids who’ve been put in charge of helping them get acclimated to life as
an Earthling teenager. And hijinks, as they say, ensue.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sadly
while the game’s fondly remembered by the people who did get to experience it,
it evidently didn’t find a lot of support from the game-buying public. I own
six products with this game’s name on them and as far as I know that’s it. Three
are versions of the core rules, two are premade adventures and one’s a mall for
the players to hang out at. Heh, malls. Remember those?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One
of those premade adventures is the subject of this particular review, but pays
homage to its animated roots by eschewing the long and intricate plot of the
only other premade adventure, “The Field Trip,” and instead being a loose
outline of short, humorous episodes to keep things fast and fun. They also
packed in a list of new powers characters can have, like being stretchy or
literally being so cool your character can deflect an attack by making a (hard)
saving throw.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As
the name indicates the meat of the series of little episodes laid out in the book revolve around the winter festivities
of the characters’ school (Or perhaps the very, very basic premade school that
comes with the booklet. I’m not sure if it’s embarrassing or not that the
school outline that came with “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2012/02/champions-bad-medicinenews-for-dr-drugs.html">Bad Medicine for Dr. Drugs</a>” was more detailed. And that was a serious anti-drug tale that still thought a good name for a street gang was "The Monkey Thugs"). These
include the big dance, electing the WinterFest king and queen, an extremely
cheap and dangerous carnival, a planetary invasion by three races of evil,
uncool aliens at the exact same time, and of course saving Santa Claus from
corporate mercenaries.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Of
course the GM’s expected to fill in an awful lot of blanks to keep things as
crazy as possible, so the scenarios in this module require a certain kind of
person to run them. But then, TFOS requires a certain kind of player to begin
with. The main focus of the scenarios is on winning a popularity contest
against a pair of jerky but good-looking cool kids (aren't they all?), something the players can’t
do with brute force even if the game makes it easy for players to equip
themselves with silly futuristic weapons. Hell, it’s easy for the unwashed
masses to resort to violence; if they were smart and sophisticated enough to
try something else they wouldn’t be the unwashed masses.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dmvfm9DUxOY/VnhticF1ieI/AAAAAAAADk4/f38EdfN9C5Y/s1600/crown%2Bprincess.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dmvfm9DUxOY/VnhticF1ieI/AAAAAAAADk4/f38EdfN9C5Y/s640/crown%2Bprincess.jpg" width="498" /></a></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On
that note, though, I’d say that while the final scenario where the players help
save Santa is practically required, it’s also a disappointment. While in the
hands of a good GM it’ll still end up being plenty silly, it’s also just your
typical “blow up the bad guys” thing from any old RPG. Besides the holiday
theme it’s not connected to the previous plot ideas and just kind of pops in
like a poorly-integrated boss fight. There aren’t even circumstances that have
them meeting up with Santa who’s already in trouble: the kids just hear about
commandos attacking the workshop on the news and, presumably, pile into their
flying saucers to go to Saint Nick’s rescue. Suppose those zappy guns it’s so
easy for the players to get had to figure in somewhere.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I guess I'm just down on heavy combat in a game that tries to be as cartoony as possible, and the penalty for losing all your hit points is missing your next turn, and then getting them all back after that. Sounds to me like the combat monsters can stay home. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s
a little interesting to note the game getting a little more blatant about its
anime roots, even if some of it’s stuff the players aren’t really meant to see.
One of the aliens the players have to save Christmas from during the three-way
invasion are the Robotoids from planet Voltron, and considering whose work
inspired this game in the first place, I highly doubt it’s a coincidence that
one of the stimuli the new power list uses as an example of what can set off an
“out of control power” is being hit with cold water. Not when s<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">witching genders is already a power in the game.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
look at those cute Totoros you can win for your lady! Or whatever’s appropriate
on the planet you’re from.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All
in all, aside from the combat-centric scenarios, this is a pretty good module.The winter festivities are a great setup for plenty of teen-related chaos, the new powers and devices described in the book are cool and a lot more original than the ones in the book as they weren't filling most of it out by copying and pasting from UY's major alien characters.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
if there’s one thing that’s a shame about this book, I’d actually say it’s the
humorous insert art, since nobody’s meant to read the booklet except the GM. As
bare-bones as it is to leave most of the content up to the person running the
game who actually knows his players and their quirks. So, here’s a few more examples of the goofy pictures in this booklet, along with a little sample of the mayhem
waiting to be unleashed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Making
something that’s boring but beneficial entincing to kids is a tricky job,
not helped by how a lot of edutainment makers seem to severely underestimate
kids’ ability to tell when they’re being led on. Certainly I have fond memories
of some of the edutainment shows of my youth, but one approach that seems almost
impossible to pull off is when the makers try to weave their moral into a story
of grand adventure to grab young viewers’ attention. Most of the time you get a
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Captain Planet and the Planeteers</i>,
something remembered more for the absurdity of its presentation than the
positive values it contained. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Which
is why I feel a little bad saying that David Fisher’s pair of books are pretty dumb. But then, books about a guy
who gets the strength to save the universe from alien drug dealers and
obesity-promoting corporate bosses by jumping rope, well…If anybody’d ever
heard of this, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Captain Planet</i>’s place
in internet history might in trouble. Or at least <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k-_6D9rhCw"><i>Drug Avengers</i></a>'s.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
say I feel bad because the benefits of jumping rope are something I’m inclined
to think he truly believes in. The first of these Rope Warrior books came out
in 1996, but in August of this very year <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cool-Jump-Rope-Tricks-You-Can-ebook/dp/B00M4S2AGS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410991068&sr=8-2&keywords=david+fisher">he put out a new book of jump rope tricks</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">.
I do believe this is an entire lifestyle for Fisher, and yeah, nearly all of us
could stand to spend more time looking after our health. Still, if you write a
morality tale, and you name two negative characters Maury and Ima Whiner, you
do it to yourself, really.</span></div>

also doesn’t help how both books start off with this:</span></div>

it’s talking about feats like using a jump rope to swing on something or
twirling it to deflect projectiles. The kind of stuff people only do in high
fantasy, and without which the jump rope would have no place in the narrative. Still,
it sounds really weird to set out to tell the reader jumping rope is totally awesome while
telling them not to do any of the things the role model the story gives does
with his jump rope.</span></div>

I’ve delayed talking about the story itself long enough. In 2086 (90 years
after the work is published rather than the usual even 100, cute), the Roper
family are the first humans to live on another planet in an experimental
station on Mars. They’re really into fitness. So much so that young Charles got
the nickname “Skip” for his love of skipping rope.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
one day their idyllic existence of getting up at 4:45 AM to jump rope every
morning is shattered as evil aliens from the planet Keebar (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Keebar</i>??) attack the Mars station and
try to perform some kind of insidious operation on Skip’s parents. When it fails,
their leader, Varco, guns the Ropers down and blows up their emergency escape
ship, leaving young Skip alone and jumping rope for years, awaiting rescue.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
eventually rescue does come: an old friend of the Ropers comes by to check on
them after 15 years of no regular reports (yeah, really). A friend who’s since
joined the “Intergalactical Drug Police,” but I had a lot more fun just calling
them “the Space Narcs.” Anyway when Skip finds out the Space Narcs are on the
trail of the guy who killed his parents, who runs an interplanetary drug ring,
he wants in too. And because he’s the main character, he gets in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
turns out the Space Narcs’ next big operation is to destroy an isolated but
heavily-defended drug factory. As opposed to someplace in the middle of
civilization but not sticking out like a frigging sore thumb, but whatever. We’re talking about villains only one step up from ones who chop down acres of
rainforest just because they’re bored. The Space Narcs have a formula that can
make anything coated with it indestructible, but not enough of it to actually shield
anybody, let alone multiple agents, from getting close enough to destroy the
factory without being blown away by its massive laser sentry guns. Skip suggests they coat his jump rope with the formula so he can twirl it to
deflect the lasers while the other Space Narcs blow up the factory, and so his jump rope will actually figure into the plot. Because
he’s the main character he's given his wish, and because he's the main character his idea works.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
unlike in other brainless, socially-relevant adventure stories, blowing up one
extremely obvious source isn’t enough to topple the Keebarian (yes, Keebarian)
drug empire. The Space Narcs did find a clue to where to look
next, though: the word “GIRTH” and the fact that they tracked Varco’s escape
ship to Earth. Being the newest member and thus the one least likely to be
recognized, Skip heads to the planet of his parents’ birth to find out the
meaning of GIRTH.</span></div>

we begin the second book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Survival of the

without a trace. GIRTH turns out to be the name of a huge company that runs a
city where everything is automated and most people never leave their homes.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Indeed,
as Skip finds out when he infiltrates their headquarters and meets up with a pair of
shapely females who were kidnapped for trying to host a workout show on public
access (one of whom falls in love with a guy named “Skip” waaaay too readily),
GIRTH is under the control of none other than his archenemy Varco the Keebarian
drug kingpin! The reason GIRTH doesn’t let anyone get away with being healthy
is so they’ll die young and their bodies can be harvested for the impurities a
sedentary life inflicts, which it turns out are the secret ingredient in Varco’s
evil Space Drug! And the reason he got mad at Skip’s parents, if you care, was
because they took such obscenely good care of themselves there was nothing in them to make drugs
from. Which leaves us with an absolutely beautiful <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpaceWhaleAesop">Space Whale Aesop</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">:

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
the book manages to get even more insane. Skip proposes to the Space Narcs that
he and the girls go back and try to encourage people to get fit. The Space U.N.
applauds his devotion but thinks that’ll take too long, Varco will figure out
what they’re up to and move his operation somewhere else, and the only viable
option to stop him now is to blow up planet Earth for the greater good of the
civilized galaxy. Not even the city where they know his headquarters are, the entire frigging planet. Makes me wonder if the other planets who belong to this group
worry about what might be going on on their planets that’ll get them blown up.</span></div>

have time to spread the joys of rope-jumping and stave off the need for
planetary destruction, he might be able to bargain for a lighter sentence! And
after accidentally ending up in the Cretaceous period first because that’s a
rule about time-traveling in subpar stories, they finally get to their intended
time period, which surprised me a little by still being about 50 years in the

despite the promise of another adventure, this is where the saga of the Rope
Warrior ends. You almost have to think the author knew that, with how the book
ends with the time traveler making another stop to save Skip’s parents too,
thus ridding him of any baggage he might’ve had and leaving nothing but his
passion for jumping rope. And that’s another problem a lot of these heroes
meant to teach messages suffer from: they’re so clean-cut and boring the
message they try to encourage seems boring by association. “This guy saves the
world from aliens and says I should jump rope? Geek. Let’s go watch the Power
Rangers instead, they fight aliens with laser guns and super-cool robots.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Just
from a technical standpoint, the first book feels like the author wanted to
shove in every single little idea and detail he came up with, thinking that’d
make the limited story it actually tells more gripping. There was a fair bit I didn't mention to keep the summary from bogging down. Like when Skip’s been
on the station for years he realizes he’s grown out of his kiddie jumpsuits and
goes to put on one of his dad’s. There’s some kind of biological sample in the
elbow that melts into Skip’s blood when he puts it on. In both books, we never
find out what it did to him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Also,
right after his parents are killed, Skip sees himself on the Mars station’s
security cameras and realizes he’s walking around all angry and obsessed like
Varco did. He decides he needs to keep his cool and not let anger overtake him.
And that’s the last we hear of that. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume the
reader’s meant to take away the lesson they shouldn’t let their problems take
control of them. But if Skip realizes that and overcomes his problems that
quickly, he’s even more dull to read about…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
point being, there’s an awful lot of stuff going on in the first book.
It feels very, very <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">busy</i> for a young
adult novel. In the second book by comparison, it felt like I was watching an
old movie serial most of the time, with lots of little cliffhangers at the ends
of chapters. Where some GIRTH security guards shoot into a cardboard box we’re
led to believe Skip’s hiding in, and he winces as lead rips through the sides
of his hiding spot…except he was actually climbing the wall of the building,
and what he was wincing at was one of the guards making a bad joke. When the
Keebarians think they’ve tricked Skip into returning to his Space Narc buddies
carrying a time bomb, in the next chapter we find out he actually realized his
Space Narc identity badge felt kind of heavy and turned the tables on the Space
Drug Pushers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
speaking of the Space Narcs, I’m really worried about them being run by idiots.
In the span of the two books we find out they incarcerate their prisoners
somewhere the prisoners can see their impounded vehicles, meaning if they were
to escape their escorts or cells…yeah. There’s also a rule that any Space Narc
can challenge any other Space Narc to combat at any time. This challenge cannot
be denied. Not to the death or anything, but what the hell kind of
drug-policing body is this??</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
rule’s real reason for existing seems to be so a main character gets a chance to
prove himself before the Space Narcs when an incredulous senior member
doesn’t believe a guy who’s only been in the agency a day should be hearing
about all their most important plans. Which, really, Skip probably shouldn’t,
but he wouldn’t be involved in the plot if he didn’t. The way the author
clumsily plasters over that plot hole it just sounds like the Space Narc
administrators are using the contraband substances they confiscate for themselves.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
whatever other problems the series had, the second book almost seems as if it
was never proofread. One particularly awful incident shows itself after the
heroes find out what the secret ingredient in the villains’ Space Drug is, and the
Space U.N. decides they’re too firmly entrenched for any solution to work but
the (regrettable) annihilation of planet Earth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now,
as noted the Space Narcs arrested a guy who turns out to be a time traveler,
and Skip and another human Space Narc decide to have him take them back in time
along with the girls from the public access workout show. Once in the past,
Skip and the girls plan to spread a message of health and fitness to derail the
villains’ plan before it can start, and save Earth from destruction.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
that’s when the bad continuity checking kicks in. Skip and his human Space Narc
buddy decide not to tell the girls about the Earth being destroyed in their
present…but then they immediately do. Yet when they go back in time, a
character accidentally voicing his surprise at Earth still being where it’s
supposed to proves they actually did go back in time. The idea that Earth
wouldn’t be there causes the girls to ask what he meant, and they’re distraught
to learn Earth was destroyed. Despite having been told about that before they
left.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Like
I said at the beginning, I feel a little bad raking these books over the coals.
Mostly because the author does seem to believe in his message, and a little bit
because he seemed to think the Rope Warrior was going to be huge. In the back
of the first book are profiles of a couple of the supporting characters,
seemingly meant to go on the back of action figure packages.</span></div>

at that. The author believed in the Rope Warrior books and their fan club so
much he set a date when he’d stop accepting applications, even. Does anybody
out there still have one of those posters or newsletters? I’m just so morbidly
curious after hearing about this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
let’s get real. A role model who fights alien drug lords and travels through
time…but what you’re <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">supposed</i> to pay
attention to is him jumping rope? Was never gonna happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good on the author for his dedication to the
merits of jumping rope. But good on whoever made him realize his attempt at a
rope-jumping pop culture icon would never happen, too.</span></div>

we go with the kickoff to the finale of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Loonatics
Unleashed</i>. Technically they consider the finale to be a two-parter, and
that’s the two after this one. But forget that. This episode leads straight into
the last two and has events you need to know about for <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">those to make sense</span>. It’s a three-parter.</span></div>

episode’s called “The Music Villain,” eh? As in the stock member of a superhero
rogues gallery with a music motif?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Loonatics are at Zadavia’s little underwater house where she’s praising how
much more formidable they’ve gotten, like Bugs with his magic sword and Wile E.
in the “non-technology hero department.” No idea what she was watching to make
that assessment, since if anything the show relies on his inventions even more
now than the last season. In fact as she says that we clearly see footage of
him using his turn-things-to-water gun from “Cape Duck.” “I’ve been trying to
get out of the lab more” indeed.</span></div>

after this they’re interrupted as Zadavia gets a talking email saying she and
guest are invited to the show at the Cosmic Abyss that night, but it’s only
from “a friend.” Lexi says that’s apparently a mondo venue, and despite being
some kind of super <s>vague</s> important dignitary/law enforcement official,
Zadavia’s curiosity’s greater than her caution and she decides to see who sent
the tix.</span></div>

to do nothing more than blast a few pieces of falling debris before they hit her and
her escorts. Not other people, just her, Daffy and Wile E. This leaves the two
Loonatics present to try and subdue the militant musicians. Granted Zadavia was
just talking about how much they’ve honed their skills, but is this really the

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Back
at Loonatics HQ (and not the underwater house) Zadavia’s still sure she heard
that short bit of music before, and right then Bootes easily hacks their
communications and taunts Zadavia that they do indeed have a shared past even
though she claims to have never seen him before. Flexing his Batmanesque
Detective Skills™ once again, Bugs suggests they “do some snoopin’ and see
where handsome and his funky band play next.” Which will work! Because after
collapsing their previous venue and attacking the attendees, he’ll show
up to play wherever he’s booked next and WON’T be intercepted by legions of
police and/or military waiting for the guy to show his face. Besides, he’s
obviously interested in Zadavia, so even if the Loonatics do run into him at
his next gig, what are the odds it’ll just be a distraction so they won’t be
around to stop flunkies from grabbing her? I’m going to go with high to very
high.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
we don’t even have to wait. Retiring to her underwater house, Zadavia’s
flabbergasted to find “the Lumarius Flower of Freleng” floating in her room,
since “it can’t be, not here.” When she touches the bloom, it sucks out her
rainbow powers. Bootes was hiding and comes out to explain how the flower’s
“the black dwarf daisy, a cosmic light sucker. No photons escape its petals.”
And since her powers are apparently light-derived, she’s badly weakened.
Although if she was able to recognize the flower you’d hope she’d know that and
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">know better than to touch it</b>.</span></div>

are out <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">randomly hitting nightclubs

just…wha…why…how did…<deep breath> We went from Bugs solving mysteries with his master detective skills to randomly throwing out
lines hoping for a bite? Why nightclubs when he was big enough to get booked at
a huge stadium? And perhaps best of all, the Loonatics aren’t out checking
different clubs, so as to make semi-effective use of their time with this
gambit. All of them are together for some reason as they do this.</span></div>

them he’s got what’s-her-face hostage, but is willing to let her go for “a
little cosmic guitar” that Wile E. can “funkenstein up.” Wile E. traces the
signal (which Bootes was expecting him to do), but first it’s off to
funkenstein up that cosmic guitar. And that’s all they’re telling us about this
thing for now. Cosmic guitar.</span></div>

soon as he has it, the band attacks the Loonatics but proves more than a match
for the varmints’ firepower. That is, until Wile E. gets them with his trusty jello gun.
Somehow being trapped in jello exposes the band members to be robots (or
“mannequins”) except for the keyboard player, who somehow uses his keyboard to set two trains on a collision
course with the car where Zadavia’s being held. Gotta say, it’s actually pretty
clever for this show to have the real villain trick the heroes into thinking
one of his flunkies is the leader to take them by surprise. Even if none of them noticed how he was suspiciously absent before.</span></div>

villains to come from Freleng have all been insultingly one-dimensional, but
this one’s just painful. Rupes, or as the credits call him and so shall I,
Keyboard Man, became embittered and joined a cabal for universal domination
because…Zadavia ignored his composition for a new Frelengian national anthem
(How can a planet have a “national” anthem? To quote one of the masters,
“Doesn’t the fact that it’s universal make it international?”).</span></div>

as usual Zadavia hardly comes out smelling like a rose. “But Rupes, we already

and leaves without so much as a “thanks but no thanks.” Yeah, he’s a maniac for

E. finally deigns to explain the significance of the cosmic guitar, and that it
ties into string theory. To hear him tell it, “Think of the universe as a
galactic orchestra. The Keyboard Man knows that if he can channel Zadavia’s
energy into his guitar, he can use that power to control the universe.” Simple
enough, not that he’ll ever do anything of that magnitude, but what does that
have to do with your description of the universe as an orchestra?</span></div>

Anyway, it means he’s going to try whatever he’s going to try at Galaxy Fest,

before the Loonatics prove a poor match for the band and get knocked all over

the cosmic guitar. As usual Wile E. has a device to fit the occasion (Really
getting to strut his non-inventor stuff, isn’t he?), a satellite dish to
reflect the band’s attacks. Bugs goads them into shooting by insulting Bootes’s
mama, which works even though he’s just a puppet being controlled by Keyboard

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When
last we left Roger Wilco, he’d managed to pry the power of ultimate destruction
from the hands of the ruthless Sarien mercenaries despite his status as a mere
janitor and become the hero of his home planet of Xenon.</span>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
before too long the furor over his heroics died down and Roger became yesterday’s
news. His hard work did get him promoted to the spot of head janitor on one of
Xenon’s space stations, which is small consolation as he’s the only member of
the sanitation staff and most of the rest of the crew can’t stand him. Xenon
has moved on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
even if the rest of the universe no longer remembers what Roger did, one man
hasn’t forgotten. Unfortunately that man is Sludge Vohaul, the mad scientist
who hired the Sariens to steal the Star Generator and use it for evil. As
arch-villains are wont to do, he not only cooks up another scheme to bring the
galaxy to its knees (to turn the citizens of Xenon into jelly with an army of
cloned life insurance salesmen). But also has his flunkies kidnap Roger to exact
some payback for thwarting his previous scheme. Fortunately the bad guys forgot
to gas up the hovercraft and Roger manages to escape onto the dangerous jungle
planet Labion.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
I seem to be one of only a few people who consider this a step down from the
previous installment. For one thing, perhaps the biggest one, the sense of humor
isn’t nearly as strong as in the first game. Off the top of my head I can only
think of two real jokes: when one of Vohaul’s guards insults another one by
calling him “<a href="http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7983">Gorf</a>
breath,” and when Roger passes out while hanging in a snare trap and dreams he’s
Leisure Suit Larry. Maybe you’re willing to count the thing with the parody of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Alien</i>. I don’t know if I am. You walk <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">one</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">screen</i>
off where you start in the next game and you’ll see that many gags.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There’s
also the villain’s evil scheme not being something that sounds like something out
of a straight sci-fi premise, I guess.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
anyway, Roger finds himself stranded on a hostile jungle planet and needs to
find some way off it. Kind of like Kerona, except it’s a jungle and not a
desert. But again, the wit just doesn’t seem as prevalent even compared to the
original version of the first game. Case in point, there’s not one but two of
that easy fallback plan game designers use when they can’t think of anything
else: mazes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
first is actually the tendrils of some kind of plant monster that paralyze
Roger if he touches them, and then it’s chow time for the monster. And you have
go through it both ways to get something you need. I will admit that when the
game got an icon-driven remake like its predecessor (a fan-made one, some
twenty-four years later), they did include an alternate solution to make this
part much less of a pain in the ass. Like with the magnet and the slot machine
from the remake of the first Space Quest game.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
second one’s a little less frustrating, although that’s mainly because you don’t
die if you touch the walls. Although you do die if you take too long to find
the way out/wander into the wrong dead end; I never really found out which, but
I think it’s the second one. </span></div>

two mazes in one game where mazes aren’t the whole point, the puzzles do seem a
little more arbitrary than they did in the first game and approaching them with
the same mindset I managed to adopt then (the hero’s a janitor who knows as
much about surviving in a hostile environment as my flabby suburban ass) didn’t
help that much.</span></div>

one point you cross a swamp, and there’s a certain deep spot where you need to
dive. If you just dive, though, and don’t specifically tell the game you’re
holding your breath before you do, you run out of time and drown before you
have any chance of finding out where it goes. Because you, who have
intelligence to type well enough to use the text parser and operate a computer
in the first place, wouldn’t automatically hold your breath before diving to
the bottom of a body of water. And you need to do this because there’s, of
course, an all-important item to be had.</span></div>

assuming you even walk across the swamp at the right part of the screen to find
out there’s a deep spot at all and it’s not just there to make you figure out a
way to keep from being eaten by a monster that hides underwater.</span></div>

gets better when you end up back at Vohaul’s space base (not entirely by
choice), as he like any cheesy villains has a number of death traps protecting
him from meddling dogooders, and the proper solutions involve some fairly
basic, if slightly cartoony, logic. Then again this is supposed to be a comedic
adventure.</span></div>

I've heard about the demises of lots of actors, but nothing has really upset me, personally, the way this has. Ghostbusters and my worship of it made up a significant part of my childhood, of course.<br />
<br />
But more than that, Harold Ramis lived in Highland Park, Illinois, which was two towns south of where I lived for most of my life, and I always thought it was so cool living and going to school relatively close to one of the Ghostbusters. A couple years ago I went to a Q&A panel at the Highland Park Library and like many of the people in attendance brought Ghostbusters merchandise to see if I could an autograph, and ever since once of my most prized possessions has been my copy of <a href="http://www.gbfans.com/games/books/pumpkin-patch-panic/1/">Pumpkin Patch Panic</a>. For a few minutes, I was close enough to touch one of my childhood idols. I didn't even mind that he kept the marker.<br />
<br />
Goodbye, Harold. You'll be sorely missed.starofjusticehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07871429377096144563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2533992668641166445.post-82843247436304851352014-02-11T10:36:00.001-06:002014-02-13T06:42:32.086-06:00Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter (Real Review)<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
seems that far off in the depths of space, the life-giving star of the populous
planet of Xenon is growing cold and weak. To prevent their extinction, a team
of scientists aboard the research ship Arcada are tasked with finding a
solution. And by god they do in the form of the awesome Star Generator that can
restore a dying star to health or, in the clammy hands of evil, turn a planet
into a charred crisp in an instant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Which
is exactly what the ruthless Sarien space warriors have in mind as their battleship bears
down on the unsuspecting Arcada. Soon they’ve slaughtered the scientists,
stolen the Star Generator and set the ship to self destruct. The only crew
member they missed was you, Roger Wilco, sanitation engineer second class, and
only because you were, as usual, slacking off on the job and napping in a broom
closet when the Sariens were purging the crew. But if you don’t watch your ass
they might just catch you during their final sweep while you try to find a way
off the doomed ship.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">To
tell the truth, Space Quest was actually the first Sierra series I discovered. When
I got around to King’s Quest I’ll admit there was a little disappointment that it
was a series of mainly straight fantasy quests, and not what Space Quest was to
its genre: a raucous parody that tended to have fun at your expense whenever
you did something stupid, which usually resulted in a hideous death. If not, it
just made it impossible for you to win the game.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
parodic nature of the game also answers what I thought was one of the
weaknesses of the earlier examples of the King’s Quest series. Namely, why
would the finest knight in the kingdom on a desperate quest to save it embark
on his adventure completely unarmed and unequipped. Well, our so-called hero’s
very nature explains that here. He’s not Strong Bod Space Captainface, he’s a
janitor. And not even very good at that. So basically the great hero charged
with keeping the evil aliens from unleashing galactic devastation is you, the
everyday schmuck. And I was mostly okay with that. I relate more to Dave Lister
than Jim Kirk anyway.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As
annoying as the taunts I earned when I got killed could be, it just drove the
point home even further that me, the guy sitting at the keyboard, literally had
as much idea what he was doing as my character should’ve. When I started
thinking about it like that I felt pulled into the game to a higher degree and
the things I was expected to do seemed less arbitrary. And playing further
involved common sense behaviors like not taking the first offer when someone
wants to buy your air car, don’t leave the keys in the ignition, don’t follow a
sketchy-looking guy into a dark alley. Not so much if I was up on my bedtime
fairytales or not.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Which
isn’t to say there aren’t some annoyances, and some big ones. One is present in
the first part of the game, where you need to escape that Arcada and not just
dodge the Sarien soldiers looking for survivors but do so before the ship
explodes. There’s an all-important item necessary to get the most successful
ending in the game you need to get while you’re there, but with a clock ticking
down to your doom it’s a little counterintuitive to be in an exploratory state
of mind and to think doubling back is a good idea.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
biggest annoyance is, of course, once you escape the Arcada and manage to make
your way to some semblance of civilization, you need to scare up enough money
to buy a spaceship. And since you’re a janitor who has no idea how to fly a
spaceship, a robot to handle that for you. The only way to get money is a slot
machine in the local bar. And if you get three skulls, you don’t just lose your
money, you freaking die.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Fortunately
this was one of a few mercies the game designers took when the game was
revamped a few years later with Sierra’s new icon interface. While you’re on
the Arcada you can find an item that lets you cheat the slot machine. You even
get puzzle points for doing that, and only get to kill an afternoon saving and
reloading if you do it the hard way. Thanks, Sierra!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another
comes in the form of making the coupons for local businesses actual inventory
items. You got <a href="http://mocagh.org/loadpage.php?getgame=sq">actual physical pieces of paper that came in the box of the original game</a>, and apparently quite a few players couldn’t figure out you could
walk into the bar or robot store and “redeem coupon” to reap the rewards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Despite
throwing players those bones, though, a couple of things were made nastier.
Like when you’re about to launch your escape pod in the first game, it politely
reminds you to buckle up before you blast off. Forgetting to do so in the
remake kills you automatically.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mostly
the updates to the original were good, though, like taking advantage of the
extra space to cram in more silly sci-fi references. It’s a shame the remake
didn’t do better, though, and we had to wait until after the turn of the
century before fan developers were a thing and other old games in the Sierra
library might start to see rerelease with a less clunky interface.</span></div>

all in all this is a fine start to a series willing to have a sense of humor

quite a few times too. I’ve always preferred a game that was willing to be
weird over one that wasn’t anyway.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Didn’t
think I’d see the day, but since I did, <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2012/07/adventure-begins-here-renegade-wizard.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Adventure Begins Here: The Renegade Wizard</i></a>,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>supremely
clichéd story of unlikely hero Toby the squire, evidently did well enough to go
to sequel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A little time
has passed. Toby’s apprenticing under a new knight and the kingdom’s facing a
new threat, this time from a massive rampaging dragon. And the only weapon in
the realm capable of slaying such a ferocious beast, the legendary Dragon
Spear, has been filched from the royal repository. So you find yourself on
another quest, not just to retrieve the spear but to then use it to slay the
dragon before it incinerates the entire kingdom.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Unlike
the first book, this one begins with a part where Toby’s recounting how he got
to a certain point that’s told in first person. Since it’s a flashback, you
have a nominal amount of control but if you die the narration stops and says
that’s not what really happened, and you get sent back to pick another course of
action. Reminds me a little of the do-over feature in the old <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/search/label/Zork"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Zork</i></a>
books, except as far as I remember it never tried to catch me cheating.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It
was a little confusing though, since as a direct sequel to the previous book
you’re expecting to be able to carry over the stuff you got in the first book.
And you can. But it’s only once the “tutorial” part ends and you have to start
actually rolling the dice that the game brings that up. Importing your
character isn’t even mentioned in the rules. So you can, you just aren’t given
any reason to think so until you’ve been reading the book for fifteen minutes, which
got the book off on kind of a weird foot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Which
brings me to how when you do import you stuff you can also say you’ve leveled
up since the last book. While filling in your character sheet with the stuff you plundered from the
first book you can spend Hero Points to buy skills or spells relevant to the one
you picked before going after Maudilus in the first book. It’s an interesting
dilemma that represents since a having certain skill can feasibly make the
adventure easier, but at the same time if you break the bank you won’t be able
to reverse a roll that could mean game over. Although those of us checking this
out because of being longtime Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf readers, like
myself, are used to not having Hero Points to fall back on anyway.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Oh,
and you probably did, but if you picked the reading runes skill hope you picked
the wizard’s spell book as your prize or the selection of spells for sale will
be awfully limited.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Unfortunately,
the writing and plot are still as pedestrian as can be. One particular
thing that doesn’t make any sense is that when the story begins, Toby’s the
squire to a new knight. After the flashback portion ends and he’s rescued by a
group of knights who plan on venturing onward to slay the dragon, he asks to
come along but they demur because a prophecy says only a knight can do it. He says they can just knight him and he’ll be good. And they do. And
that’s it. He’s a knight, just like that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Kinda
anticlimactic, don’t you think? Or worse, delayed. Something like killing an
evil wizard, one who foiled every bounty hunter, assassin and army of knights
of the realm sent to dispose of him seems like it’d merit a promotion, but no.
It’s not even that nobody else knows about it and doesn’t believe Toby when he
claims responsibility. When Toby and his new benefactor go to the capital city
the knights there have already heard the story of how he kicked Maudilus’s
renegade wizard behind and give him a hearty slap on the back for it. Why is Toby
still apprenticing when the book starts?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Speaking
of a prophecy, here it is: “A knight the slayer will be, but the Dragon Spear
is the key.” As prophetic verse goes, that’s pretty nickel-and-dime stuff
there. Try this one on.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The
rhyme’s not the best, but it does tie into the plot (of Lone Wolf 4, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Chasm of Doom</i>) and it’s a little
unnerving if you think about what it means is at stake. The one in this book
just tells you the one to kill the dragon must be a knight, which as I already said
was handled poorly, and gives a nebulous clue.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There
are also Greek mythology motifs in here, with talking idols of the gods
offering you magical artifacts if you can prove yourself worthy. They feel out
of place, but I get the feeling they were put there to make something else feel
less weird. You see, one of the guardians of the dragon’s lair is no less than
Medusa, and it seems she was only put in there so the player could have an easy
way and a hard way to kill the dragon, and the author was inspired to put the easy
way in by seeing the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Clash of the Titans</i> remake.<br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And
in the end, this book seems even more hopeful than the first of another
installment. Those artifacts you get from the gods? You’re told about one thing they
do, but it’s made pretty clear they probably have other powers you have yet to
discover. And the spear wasn’t stolen by the dragon’s thralls to protect their
master, it was stolen by a cult of elves for reasons of their own, which the
author was probably hoping to build up in another story. With where the
creativity starts and stops on the premises of these books, not sure I’m
looking forward to that.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But
I’ll probably review it anyway.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">After the recap, open
on Wile E. appraising Bugs of the situation with Deuce, with Bugs reacting only
with a “thanks for the update.” You found out Deuce stole your ride, and he’s
using it to bring a supposed ultimate army of emotionless killers to a place
that he can use as a staging ground to invade anywhere in the universe he
pleases. And all you’ve got to say is “thanks for the update.” Not even an “oh
man”?</span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We
see Zadavia in a cabin on her brother’s former, now reclaimed, flagship. Deuce
mocks that without her powers she might “catch your death of cold” and tosses
her her cape. She fires back that he might have her powers for now, but
ultimately they’ll be his downfall. Is there any reason why they won’t be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">your</b>
downfall, maybe, Big Z?</span></div>

your fate. You will never rule again.” I ask again, what was stopping her from
going back to Freleng and being the ruler? Her flunkies defeated Optimatus who
only became a threat again very recently. Did Optimatus blow up the planet and
his asteroid headquarters from this time last season was all that was left? A little more effort in the world-building would've been nice.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As
they fly along, chasing down the trail of clues to Tweety’s hiding place his
decoy promised them, Bugs addresses his posse, “Hang tight, gang! We’ve gotta
reach the real [Tweety] before the bad guys!” Good thing you’re here! The
usual pre-theme song prologue was replaced by a recap this time, so this
isn’t even for the benefit of people who missed part one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">They
land at a ring of stones where their first clue is carved into the rock in
alien writing. “What’s black and blue and red all over?” Daffy corrects
Tweety-bot that it’s “black and white” and the answer’s a newspaper. Even seven
and a half centuries in the future, huh? He spots a rolled up newspaper on the
ground nearby, but when he picks it up triggers a booby trap that drops a load
of orange slime on him. Easily shaken off orange slime at that. If that’s this
planet’s idea of a booby trap, I’m starting to see why the bad guys had so
little trouble walking in and taking over. The newspaper turns out to be a map,
and it wasn’t even ruined by the slime. Gee, how wrong this could’ve gone if
the bad guys had the advantage of numbers and found the map first.</span></div>

the miracle of recycled footage we see Deuce’s commandeered ship cruising
through space. Then, Zadavia escaping her cell/cabin through an air vent. Wearing
her big, voluminous cape while doing so for some reason. I don’t know, that just
seems like something you’d ditch if you were trying to be stealthy.</span></div>

able to do this because even though her room has no door, the robot guarding
her’s facing the hall. If there’s nothing keeping her in there but the guard
himself, why wouldn’t he be facing her, I ask? Because if the robots lived up
to their reputation, the heroes would be screwed. The robots don’t even prove
to be that tough, because Zadavia climbs down from above and easily rips one’s
head off with her knees and then kicks it aside with one blow.</span></div>

he mysteriously isn’t torn to bits like his robots were. Admittedly as I was
going through here pausing repeatedly to get screencaps I could see that Deuce
somersaults out of the way, but with the spastic light effects it’s hard to
tell that he doesn’t get hit while watching the actual scene. And she still
shot that at him knowing what it did to his robots, and that it has the power to warp the fabric of reality.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A
massive fight breaks out with the soldiers Deuce was going to take over the
universe with going down like wet cardboard. And they still fall for that
shooting at their targets from both sides and shooting each other instead
trick.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
does almost get thrown over a ledge, but then Zadavia shows up and—this is
hilarious—uses her rainbow beams to totally blow away the robots holding Lexi, but
all that happens to Lexi is she falls to the ground exactly where she was. And
countless other robo-soldiers. “I told you your disloyalty would be your
undoing,” she snipes at Deuce. No, you told him <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">your</b> stolen powers would be his undoing. The exact line was
“Traitor! You may have my powers for now, but they will ultimately be your
undoing!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Despite
her bravado the robots soon appear to be gaining the upper hand. Deuce even
brazenly asks if they have any last words, with Daffy replying, “I’ve got a
few, but I’d have to wash out my mouth with soap.” He’s the butt of all the
jokes and gets all the flak from his teammates, but he’s the only one who ever
gets a halfway-decent one-liner.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Sylvester
(appropriately) pussies out and tries to change sides by telling Deuce about
the missing part of the scepter and Daffy having it. Who should show up to bail
our “heroes” out of trouble but Tweety and his egg-bots, who’ve been
“retro-fitted” with super-strong armor. Which Wile E. and Roadrunner managed to
do all by themselves in the little while it’s been since we saw them (maybe if
they’d explained the armor’s actually a special paint or something…), and the raw
material for armor and the equipment to apply it on the egg-bots were handily
nearby somewhere despite Wile E. only coming up with the idea to turn the
egg-bots into an army after he saw them all there. Meaning he didn’t bring it
with him intending to do that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But
anyway, with Deuce’s advantage of numbers neutralized the Loonatics are able to
fight free and start to gain the upper hand again. Deuce tries to open the
portal hub and Bugs follows him inside, with Deuce putting the scepter into
some kind of compartment that makes the thingy do the portal stuff.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
and Deuce meet for a final duel. The sad thing is, this is obviously supposed
to be not just the climax of the season, but the climax of Bugs and Deuce’s
rivalry from way back in “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/06/loonatics-unleashed-secrets-of-guardian.html">Secrets of the Guardian Strike Sword</a>.” Which as I
went into there, doesn’t work that well because it’s between the most generic
wise-cracking action hero stereotype and one-dimensionally self-obsessed
powermongering villain in memory. And that was the only episode they
were given to develop the rivalry between these characters. Which those more
sophisticated cartoons from Japan would’ve never given such short shrift.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes,
yes, they backed off and softened the show, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">but they still went ahead with it</b>. If they weren’t after Toonami’s
audience anymore, then who? With the ever-increasing leanings toward lightness
and humor I’m tempted to say young viewers in general, but the serious and
silly elements are both so poorly-balanced I’m hesitant to commit to any answer.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Not
only is the quipping during the climactic fight pathetic, a plain old straight to the face is
supposed to be a cool move?</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Deuce
announces his plans to escape, build a new army and return. “I don’t think so!
Looks like you bought yourself a one way ticket!” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
uses his laser vision to break a deadlock (That seems like cheating when Deuce
has nothing comparable) and the show reaches the culmination of flat out lying
to your face about how he’s the greatest hero ever. The kickback from the laser
vision knocks Deuce into the heart of the portal thing, and Bugs uses the
Guardian Strike Sword to activate the portal (by stabbing the controller) and
suck Deuce off into the ether. Deuce vanishes with an agonized yell, but given
the very safe nature of this show and the fact that we’re about to end on hopes
for another season, I doubt very much it would’ve been anywhere he couldn’t
come back from, and I’m almost positive Bugs knew that too.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Hell, shooting Deuce into the unknown depths already came back to bite him once! <br /></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And
Bugs did this in the interests of banishing Deuce from planet Blanc, but in
doing so, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">gave the villain what he
wanted: an escape.</b> Way to go! Nice to see you haven’t
improved at all! Sylvester goes to jail, why not Deuce?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Yeah,
he’s supposed to be lost without the scepter, but he got sucked inside a
wormhole back in the first episode he appeared in too, and that didn’t last. Why not
put him someplace where you can keep an eye on him, instead of shunting him
conveniently off-screen to get up to all sorts of season-driving mischief?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And
even if we’re supposed to believe Deuce is lost in a wormhole, well, Keyboard
Man didn’t need an instruction manual to go through a wormhole and find
Optimatus. And they had no trouble finding Deuce on a runaway space train. What,
because he’s a musician he instantly knows how to control the fabric of the
cosmos? Deuce didn’t need any help figuring out the cosmic implement either. Pardon
me for saying this show actually makes it look like navigating a wormhole’s
easy. And it’s not that he’s trapped, according to Zadavia it’s that “he’d
never find his way out again.” But as I just said, this show doesn’t actually
make toying with universal forces look hard, and Deuce probably only didn’t
escape before because that would’ve blown the surprise. Thirty seconds
after Bugs sucked him into the portal Deuce probably landed right on top of
some Neolithic guys thinking “If only the gods would send someone to rekindle
our people’s warrior spirit…”</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">How
does the scepter thingy even work? You can go anywhere, but you can’t come back
without someone who stays behind because the thing you need to control it has
to stay there? Or can you use the scepter to open a portal from the other end? Maybe they were planning to go into more detail if they made it to another season... </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Outside,
the energy pulse from Bugs doing this takes out Deuce’s robots. Handy, with how much time they have left in the episode. While we’re still sort of on
the subject of our heroes improving, with the menace seen off for now, Zadavia
announces she and Optimatus are going back to Freleng now, and that the
Loonatics are no longer just heroes in training. They don’t need her to look out
for them anymore, and must “rise to the next level, and become guardians of the
universe.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Guardians
of the universe? I like the sound of that!” Bugs enthuses. Yeah, well, don’t
like it too much. You guys already got your greasy fingerprints all over one
Warner Brothers-owned franchise. It’s bad enough how Blanc’s the planet at the
center of the universe…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">By
the way, we never heard about that “heroes in training” before. Makes you feel
better about all the stuff the Loonatics got up to before, knowing they were
only technically trainee heroes, doesn’t it? There probably wasn’t an actual
ranking system in place, no, but still, what was Zadavia waiting for to declare
their training complete? Most superheroes don’t stop training once they start
fighting actual villains. What, saving the world at the end of last
season wasn’t enough, they had to wait for a chance to save the whole
universe??</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This
gets even more embarrassing if you think about the push to play up the ties to
the original <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Looney Tunes</i> this
season. Fighting all those other villains and saving Acmetropolis from
Optimatus on two occasions wasn’t worthy of recognition (the first being “The
Comet Cometh”). It’s only after triumphing over Sylvester, Granny, Sam, Fudd,
Pierre le Pew, Porky, Flipper, Roadrunner’s slacker kid brother and a villain
seriously named Keyboard Man that the Loonatics are finally considered pros.
The first season’s villains were nothing great, but most (not all, but most) of
the threats faced by our heroes this season were even less so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Oh,
and now we’re hearing about Freleng again. Took you frigging long enough. Despite
Optimatus having been taken out and somehow imprisoned even more thoroughly
off-screen, evidently the Loonatics needed her more than however many million
Frelengians were left without a ruler throughout this whole season. Despite, as
I said, the Loonatics having a world-saving and several lesser villains under
their belts already. And despite me still having next to no idea what Zadavia
actually did for the team besides call them with new developments sometimes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Loonatics decide to make Blanc their new headquarters, with the portals allowing
them to go anywhere in the universe they’re needed. Yeah. They're going to take on all the evil in the universe. That
sounds like something the six of these barely second-string punks can handle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> </span>
</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The show ends with Tweety bashing
Daffy over the head with his scepter one last time. And Daffy shows himself to
be the least shitty Loonatic one last time, because he at least has the ability
to learn from his experiences and gets a helmet on in time. And thank heavens
that’s the end, because if this had gone on for another season, Tweety would've been the new Zadavia, and the one we had before was bad enough.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i8enCTwNB5g/UqJrRudeB6I/AAAAAAAADYU/14ZDBoa48gk/s1600/helmet.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="303" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i8enCTwNB5g/UqJrRudeB6I/AAAAAAAADYU/14ZDBoa48gk/s400/helmet.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Pee-yoo! When I finished up the first
season I said the second one was a little better, but I officially amend that
statement to say it’s only better in the sense of making for better riffing </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">But what was anybody
expecting from a premise sick from birth and not long for this world?
I know <i>Loonatics Unleashed</i> has its fans, but I’ve yet to hear of anything that
doesn’t. And “so bad it’s good” shows count too.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This show didn’t succeed not just
because of a premise that never would’ve caught on, but because, like lots of attempts to cash in, the people behind
it made too little effort to understand what the audience they were after liked about what they were
trying to copy. Warner Bros. seems to have missed the memo that a big part of
the reason anime was catching on was because, while there were way cool fight
scenes, on the whole it devoted more effort to characterization and plot
because of the long, arcing stories they usually have too. Whereas many Western
action cartoons could, aside from a pilot episode that established the setting and perhaps a big doomsday scenario to end the season,
often be watched in any order. <i>Loonatics Unleashed</i> does little to venture from this.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">That’s a big reason I got so mad at
“<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/10/loonatics-unleashed-it-came-from-outer.html">It Came From Outer Space</a>.” We’re evidently left to assume, mainly from one instance of Lexi hugging
Bugs in the first season, that Bugs is refusing to
let anyone take Lexi because of an understated romantic interest between the
two of them. In most anime worth their salt, the capper for that episode would
be the characters realizing the depth of their feelings for each other and
either taking their relationship to the next level or realizing they can’t do
that while <X big threat> is still hanging over their heads. Thus resulting in
subdued but still present romantic feelings. In <i>Loonatics Unleashed</i>, they went
home, had one last lame gag, and end credits. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Even when it tries to inject a bit of
humor into the proceedings, it can’t find a good balance between that and its
bigger emphasis on action, and changes gears poorly. Case in point, Daffy
having huge rocks fall on him twice in a row in this episode and being
okay, because it was supposed to be funny. Then immediately after that, the show decides it's going to be serious now and rocks falling on the Loonatics will suddenly kill them. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Then again, there’s the big changes
that took place, and how maybe I shouldn’t be comparing this show to anime
since they made it more in the style of DC Animated Universe. Populated by such
favorites as <i>Batman the Animated Series, Superman the Animated Series, Batman
Beyond, Justice League (Unlimited)</i>, and so forth, because of the unfriendly
reaction the original trailer got. But I dunno, maybe part of the reason those
shows succeeded where <i>Loonatics Unleashed</i> failed is because they were about
superheroes that had been around for decades and were already familiar to
audiences. Yes, everybody knows who the Looney Tunes are, <b>but whenever they did superhero cartoons, those were always parodies.</b> And despite
my insistence on sticking to the old names because these can hardly be called a
new cast, the show wants you to think that’s not Bugs, Bugs is this guy’s
ancestor! Totally new set of characters!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And those shows <b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">did</span></b> make time to explore their characters. Especially ones like,
oh, the star of <i>Batman Beyond</i> who didn’t have any previous adventures to refer
to. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the guy from <i><a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/search/label/Zorro">Zorro: Generatio</a></i></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><i><a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/search/label/Zorro">n Z</a></i> had a life outside of fighting crime, but not the Loonatics. Lame one-liners
are not character development. Not all by themselves, anyway.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And taking the show’s new directions
a step further, there’s the proliferation of reinvented characters this season,
in an attempt to make this show viable after the serious direction didn't prove marketable. What if that idea <b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">worked</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">, as they were obviously hoping it would</span>? Where was there left to take the lighter direction? What new versions of old character were there left to roll out other
than, like, Lightspeed Gonzales, (Planet) Crusher, and Space…Witch Hazel? </span></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Where was there left to go with that
idea? In case you don’t remember, and who could blame you, I made a point that
the characters who were harmless comedic antagonists before are still harmless
comedic antagonists now. Fudd, Sylvester and Sam didn’t work as threats this
time, forget about round two. The only old/new villain who with any
believability was Marvin, who was so </span></span></b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">tough</span></span><b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> the Loonatics only beat him because
the show literally forgot his ship was supposed to be indestructible </span></span></b><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Would they have ventured even farther
looking for guest characters? Maybe descendants of Pinky and the Brain? Well,
they already had the voice actors…</span></span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Guess that’s it, nothing much else to
say.</span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Oh wait, my reaction to the

Since I can't seem to find a way to put it back, and that episode leads straight into this one, you should <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2014/09/loonatics-unleashed-music-villain-snark.html">go here </a>and read that before reading on.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Last time on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Premise
That Never Stood a Chance</i>, a disgruntled musician blackmailed the Loonatics
into making him a guitar that could control the fabric of the universe. After
he stole Zadavia’s rainbow powers to juice it up, the Loonatics were more
concerned with saving their leader than keeping almighty power
out of the hands of a nutso desperate for attention. That is, until they realized the
first thing he was probably going to do with his newfound powers was to find
and team up with their nemesis, Optimatus.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Before
we get underway, it seems I owe Charlie Adler an apology. Back in the last <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Loonatics</i> review his character showed up
in I said he was terrible at portraying serious villains. There’s at least one
very notable exception I forgot, but that exception’s Tex Hex. He was intended as a goofy underling on <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2011/03/filmations-ghostbusters-1.html">Ghostbusters</a> but they were smart enough to decide "this guy needs to be the head villain in a show of his own." And comparing a
skunk-haired cyborg who looks like a low-rent 80’s rocker and tosses rainbows
around to a cowboy space zombie who throws black magic around ain’t no
comparison at all.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As for our prologue, Daffy’s on monitor duty when he
decides to get a snack, only for Taz, who apparently lives in the kitchen, to
get designs on Daffy’s hero sandwich himself. Do the other Loonatics have to
fight him off anytime they want food? With how how Wile E. had to come up with
capture devices to stop him from stealing food as far back as <a href="http://www.agonybooth.com/video274_Loonatics_Unleashed_on_Ice.aspx">the pilot episode</a>, the answer
appears to be yes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy teleports back into the monitor room to find
that in the thirty seconds he was gone, Tweety, ruler of Blanc, the most
important planet in the universe, left about ten progressively worse holo-voice
mails as some unseen enemy destroys his palace and decimates his (robotic, of
course) armies.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tweety “comedically” says in one of them he hopes
Daffy’s listening and not just off making a sandwich. We’re supposed to be mad
at him for slacking off, but as I just said, all these messages piled up in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">thirty seconds</b>. He went to get a snack,
not take a nap (He also teleported there and back, thank you very much). And as we saw from “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/07/loonatics-unleashed-heir-up-there-snark.html">The Heir Up There</a>,” Acmetropolis and Blanc
are several hours apart at least. Even if Daffy had been there as Tweety called
for help and told the other Loonatics right away, and they’d jumped in their
spaceship without delay and flown to Blanc at full burn, there’s still no way
they would’ve gotten there in time to make a difference. And that's assuming tha<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">t <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">these <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">transmissions can instantly reach between planets in this show, which is probably the case<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">, and there's no <span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">lag time b<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">etween when something's sent and when it's received like in real life.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy deletes the message, only to turn around and
see the rest of the team was there all along. What are they doing there if they
trust Daffy enough to put him on monitor duty in the first place? And when they
think a guy with power over the universe is going to be teaming up with their
archenemy any time now, yet? A minute later they’ve boarded Optimatus’s ship
and are on the way to pick up the pieces on Blanc.</span></div>

Did Wile E. have to give him a <i>working</i> cosmic guitar? Is that going to be another untold legend of the Loonatics? About the time they gave a whacko the key to ultimate power for the sake of one person's life? A person who, really, should be the last one letting them do that?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy’s being forced to wear a big goofy Knight of the
Realm costume per Tweety’s request, even though Daffy’s spot-on when he declares
“Every time I deal with chicken nugget, I’m the one who ends up needing

say-so of a sadistic little bird’s good enough for the rest of the Loonatics.</span></div>

over the galaxy and thinks Keyboard Man must be behind it. You mean to say
you’re expecting exactly what you already expect?? Wile E. even goes so far as
to confirm this, because he put a tracker on the cosmic guitar that lets him
see Keyboard Man freeing Optimatus. From that chair he was chained to on the

universal conquest is without Tweety’s scepter, “he’d never find his way out.”
Why is the royal token of power always something really obvious? Why
not make it an ordinary-looking rock that’s a slightly lighter shade of gray in
the back of the royal rose bed or something?</span></div>

Zadavia she’d better stay behind. Why is she there to begin with? How many
times has she contributed anything that the Loonatics didn’t specifically ask
for but warnings of a crime in progress? Daffy sheds everything of his stupid
royal costume except for a necklace which is in no way conveniently the real
reason Tweety wanted him to wear it. Nope, not at all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As they fly off Bugs asks why Daffy insisted on
ditching his costume, and Daffy says he refuses to go into battle wearing
anything that makes him feel he should be saying “trick or treat.” I also
notice he had the visor up on his helmet through most of the ride there,
presumably because he had trouble seeing out of it. And like knight helmet
visors in anything comedic, it’s always slamming shut over the wearer’s eyes.
Does that sound like a good idea considering you’re expecting a fight, you’re expecting a fight with your worst enemy, and how the fate of the universe is at stake in that fight, oh Great

his once again, Bugs figures out Optimatus hasn’t actually captured Tweety and
taken control of the wormholes yet, otherwise why would he still be there? Uh,
to eliminate the threat of a supposedly dangerous superhero team before beginning
his universal conquest so they don’t sneak up and kick him in the butt while his

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs is right, and we see Optimatus and Deuce
splitting up, Optimatus to find Tweety and Deuce to run some kind of errand
with the cosmic guitar. The Loonatics interrogate Keyboard Man, but all they
really learn is he and Deuce were already partners planning universal domination, explaining why after saving Optimatus they saved Deuce from his out-of-control space train. Not that it matters all that much, since Keyboard Man's locked up and gone forever after this. The Loonatics
leave to find Tweety, not splitting up even though they have <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">an entire planet</span> in which to find a tiny
yellow bird, and are competing with an evil would-be galactic overlord to do
so. </span><br />

that I buy since it’s Optimatus’s former ship and he could’ve told Deuce some
secret way in. Zadavia tries to attack him, but since she has no powers, no
weapons and spends all her time sitting around letting the Loonatics do
everything, it’s not too surprising when an actual warrior immediately takes
her down. Deuce hijacks the ship and flies away, stranding the Loonatics.</span></div>

doubts his sincerity but they agree to needing the help. Even though Bugs
confides, “I gotta go with Duckster on this one. I don’t trust puss in boots
any farther than I can throw him.” Is that saying applicable to someone like
him? Bugs is a superhero and I know Taz is the strong one, but Bugs is supposed
to be a black belt in six kinds of space judo or something. He probably could
throw Sylvester pretty far if he got him from the right angle. I know that's an extremely nitpicky thing to fixate on, even for me, but they just didn't think about that at all. And that's something I can say about Bugs' one-liners, jokes, catchphrases...anything and everything that comes out of this character's mouth.</span><br />

say nothing these morons do surprises me. Enrage me, but not surprise me. And
Roadrunner takes off to get to the scene before Wile E. even knows he’s gone.

as that Bugs’s magic sword is the only thing that can activate the robots.
Surely something that can give its wielder <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">control

Deuce is only coming to get his army now, meaning he didn’t have it when Tweety
called Daffy for help. Meaning the three bad guys brought Blanc to its knees by themselves. I
know Optimatus is supposed to be super-duper powerful as the show’s biggest bad
guy and all, and Keyboard Man has control over the universe with his guitar,
but he sure is unimaginative with its offensive capabilities. You’d think a
planet as important as Blanc would be defended well enough to last more than a

distracts Deuce, who still only uses a universal control implement to shoot

him on inventing something that works, and again I wonder what the hell the
writers were paying attention to. Whenever they need somethingto get out of a
corner, it’s something Wile E. invented, and it <i><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">always works</span></i>. The closest they come to not working is when one of
his pea-brained teammates tries to use one without knowing how or what it does.
In this case it does fail because a net can’t stand up to one of Deuce’s
universal hard-rock laser blasts, and another flattens the heroes.</span></div>

cheaper plot device to get a character out of a tight spot. And then Optimatus
finds Tweety, but he turns out to be a robot decoy. One with a large-ish bomb that goes off in his face. We don’t see
him covered in soot, but that’s not doing this villain’s intimidation factor

and Mugsy trap a truck on a bridge by blocking it on both sides with dump
trucks of their own. Meanwhile, the Loonatics aren’t far away, investigating
the weapons depot (Investigating for what? They know who robbed the place and
there’s probably already an inventory of what was taken). A guy pushing a food

I’m sure I don’t have to remind you how the show rides Daffy’s ass for any
infraction no matter how small, but here he actually <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">stops Taz from stuffing his stupid face</b>, saying he can pig out

Porky asks if he can help catch Rocky and Mugsy since they got away from him.
Daffy’s up for it but Bugs isn’t so sure. He does agree when Daffy begs,
“against my better judgment.” Daffy tells him he won’t regret it, and Bugs
replies “I think I already do.” Boy, you just get more inspirational all the
time, don’t you Fearless Leader? I mean, Porky’s not just some random guy, he
is an officer of the law. Once again, what are the Loonatics? Well-funded
vigilantes? A specially appointed task force for major crimes? What does his
massive reluctance to take a ridealong cop reflect? Does he think a crappy
former B-movie stuntman in black and yellow spandex like him knows better than
Acmetropolis’s judicial system?</span></div>

you know it, right then Rocky and Mugsy are sticking up a bank. The Loonatics
scope things out from the rooftop while the crooks are apparently still
beginning to rob the place. Boy, they got there fast. Bugs tells Wile E. to
“set up one of your criminal-catching gadgets at the entrance.” One of your
criminal-catching gadgets, that’s all, huh? A real pro, that Bugs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy
wants to give Porky the remote control to spring the trap, but Bugs tells him
no. I’d like to think it’s because he learned his lesson about blindly trusting
good-seeming people from “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/06/loonatics-unleashed-secrets-of-guardian.html">Secrets of the Guardian Strike Sword</a>,” but it’s not
quite the same thing. There he decided to trust Deuce because of a good first
impression, despite having no idea what heinous deeds the guy perpetrated while
still knowing heinous deeds were in his past. Here, they do know who the guy
is, where he comes from, and that he’s an underconfident loser. Daffy’s
actually trying to make a tangible effort to help somebody, but Bugs is vetoing
him? How heroic of our greatest hero of all time. After more wheedling, Bugs relents.</span></div>

and Mugsy aren’t actually stealing money, though, they’re forcing the guards to
hand over their guns. Bugs and Daffy prove to be hiding amongst the guards and
some laser vision puts the felons to flight. But as they run out the door Porky
waits a second too long in counting to three because of his stutter, and the
bad guys get away while Bugs and Daffy get netted. Yeah, that was a big slip-up
on his part, but I don’t see why I should ignore Bugs and Daffy standing around
where the trap was when it obviously hadn’t been sprung. Idiots.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A
news story follows detailing a bunch of further confrontations where the bad
guys got away because of some screw-up on Porky’s part. NOW it’s understandable
for Bugs to tell Daffy things just aren’t working out with his old pal. Daffy
continues trying to stick up for old bacon-breath, and Lexi and Bugs prove
suspicious of his motives, Bugs even going so far as, “So what gives, Gandhi?”
Fuck you, Mr. Flush the World For a Flimsily Established Romantic Interest.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy
fesses up that the real reason he wants to give Porky chance after chance is he
feels guilty because he cheated on that coin toss over who got adopted, because it was the same on both sides. “Once
again, the world of Duck makes sense,” Lexi jibes. I’m only letting that one go
because she actually was willing to surrender herself to save the world.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Porky
shows up with suitcases, saying he’s leaving and apologizing for being so much
trouble. The other Loonatics are suddenly feeling all bad and say he can come
on the next job after all, and he says he’s jazzed to be part of guarding the
magic rock Zadavia mentioned. Bugs even goes so far as “There’s no one I’d
rather have at my side than the man in pink.” Whatever that means.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As
said, this next job is to protect the magic Loonatic-depowering space rock as
it’s dropped off at a building labeled simply Security. Bugs gives Porky the all-important job of
standing out of the way and not moving. As the escort speeds by (and the rock’s
not even in an armored vehicle, it’s in a floating transparent cylinder), it
knocks his all-important can out of his hands, which rolls into the building. As
Porky runs after it a barrage of lasers and missile launchers start shooting at
him, and Wile E. shuts down security to spare him. Another case of excellent
timing, because right then Rocky and Mugsy parachute in to steal the rock.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This
is bad news, as according to Bugs, “If the Einstein twins reach the vault
first, our butts are gonna glow brighter than a full moon.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One forgettable
action sequence later Porky’s managed to be taken hostage and Bugs is forced to
open the vault and let the bad guys have the rock. Porky gets Rocky’s gun, but
then drops his charade. Rocky and Mugsy are his “torpedoes” (His WHAT??? Now we're expecting kids to know about <i>The Sting</i>?), and
he goes by the nom de guerre, Pink the Pug. Because he’s a hard-bitten crook.
Totally.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Know
what else that means? It’s the second time in a 13-episode TV season an episode
has had the premise “hero’s friend turns out to be a traitor.” Third, if you
count Granny. And the final story arc takes up three of those episodes. Starting
to see how much harder they were trying this season?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Porky
blasts Bugs with the magic rock with a cackle of “That’s all, Loonatics!” But Bugs
is okay and traps them, because he saw through Porky’s charade and switched the
rock with a fake, though, and traps the bad guys with a big robotic claw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The show
proceeds to then really embarrass itself by having Bugs trot out his
Batmanesque Detective Skills™ again. He checked on the place Porky said he
worked, and at the police academy too, and neither of the people he asked had
ever heard of our porcine pal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
yes, I said neither. He talked to two people and they handily had clipboards
with the lists to prove or disprove Porky’s story stuck under their arm right
then and there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What
really gave him away was when he specifically asked about tagging along the
rock-guarding job. Since after all, it’s top secret! Never mind that the reason
he was there was he was because he was friends with Daffy, who was trying to
help his confidence and who the show constantly reminds us is supposed to be
this colossal screw-up. Daffy’s even supposed to be the biggest one of his kind
ever. Remember <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/10/loonatics-unleashed-hunter-snark.html">the episode with Elmer</a>? Might not Daffy have mentioned the job,
thinking Porky would be coming with, to make him feel good to be entrusted with
part of such an important operation?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Guess
not. That would tarnish Bugs’s Batmanesque Detective Skills™, after all.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">By
the way, we never find out why Rocky and Mugsy were stealing so many weapons
when they basically had just the ordinance they got away with from their first
robbery when they were trying to steal the rock. Oh, and Porky’s lucky can? It
was a microphone transmitting all of their conversations to the bad guys. And
Porky had been adopted by Rocky and Mugsy the day after Daffy got go to leave.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy
feels bad about how the toss of a coin turned Porky into a criminal, but Porky
then tells him he, Rocky and Mugsy had been planning that (when he was just a
little kid) from the beginning. Porky knew Daffy had a trick coin and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">he</b> suggested the coin toss to make sure
he wasn’t accidentally adopted by the wrong people. Although if they were
already a gang of crooks, you wouldn’t think there’d be anything keeping them
from “kidnapping” Porky from his new family.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy
voices his hope that there’s still hope for Porky, who swings the claw he and
his cohorts are hanging from to knock him over and tells him to shut up. As
usual, every word Daffy says is wrong, even something like hope that criminals
can be rehabilitated. Up yours, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Loonatics

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As
you’re no doubt expecting, they have Porky give a variation of his famous
closing line to end the episode. As usual, the show doesn’t do it right.
Porky’s closing line, at least here, is “This ain’t over, folks.” Shouldn’t it
have been more like, “That’s NOT all, folks!”? And seriously, don’t kid
yourselves. This show already went through two sweeping changes thanks to poor
response. You think <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Extreme!!</i>
versions of Sylvester the cat, Pepe le Pew and Elmer Fudd are gonna be what
saves it?</span></div>

E.’s hard at work in his lab, and fails to notice a large rush of air
indicating Roadrunner sneaking by him at high speed. I’d say he’s absorbed in
his work, but this is the same super genius who had to scientifically determine
that some guys he saw teleport had teleported.</span>

uses a science thingy to make a single birdseed big enough for a sandwich, and
is caught by an indignant Wile E. He has some other nerd stuff to do somewhere
else, though, and despite Roadrunner just sneaking in to exploit his
inventions, Wile E.’s satisfied with a promise that Roadrunner won’t do it
anymore.</span></div>

only does Roadrunner start messing with Wile E.’s stuff as soon as he’s gone,
Lexi comes in and starts messing with it too as soon as they find something
that looks like a video game. Hey Lexi, how’d you like it if Wile E. borrowed
your surfboard without asking? Of course since this is a TV show, it’s an
incredibly simplistic spaceship shooting game. Lexi even tries for the high score.</span></div>

make a little too much noise shooting at electronic asteroids and spaceships,
causing Wile E. to run back in and tell them that’s not a game, it’s the controls
for a very real weapon system. The spaceship they were shooting at was very
real, and belongs to a now very pissed off Marvin the Martian. Or, Melvin. Probably
the laziest reinvention on the show, but then, how do you change Marvin to be
more suitable for an action show except by giving him bigger guns? Which he
immediately aims at Acmetropolis.</span></div>

theme song Marvin’s on the Loonatics’ TV, demanding their complete and total

mean planet.</span></div>

derides Marvin’s threat, daring him to blow up the moon if he’s so tough. Which
Marvin does. Which would seem to be a hugely bad thing, but of course goes
unmentioned forever.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Undaunted,
Daffy dares him to blow up some distant stars and after another salvo the sky
is completely dark. Of course that’s not even close to how starlight works, but
I’m tempted to overlook that one. Partly because I’m watching a show about
cartoon animals (if not cartoon universe physics), but also because, holy crap,
it’s our first credible villain of the season. How’d one of those get in here?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
for all the bashing I do to the other Loonatics, I’m not going to ignore that
Daffy was a complete idiot here and a catastrophe of galactic proportions has
just taken place because he shot his mouth off at the villain. Who knows how
many millions of lives, thousands of years of civilization, were just wiped out
in an instant? This time, I admit I see him as the show wants me to see him.
Dude, what the HELL????</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then
again, this is the exceptionally toothless breed of American action cartoon.
There was probably nothing there to destroy. The show certainly doesn’t act
like anything happened except the night sky’s slightly less pleasant to behold.
All anybody says about this, now or ever, is Bugs going, “Let’s not get carried
away, Duck. Leave something that twinkles up there.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Maybe
I should do the talking?” Lexi interrupts. “I mean, I am the one who caused
this.” Yeah, you really are, aren’t you? Sure Roadrunner started playing around
with the doohickeys first, but who’s dumber, the fool or the fool who follows? Seriously,
these guys who are happy to ignore (apparently repeated) warnings from the
super-genius that his inventions aren’t toys are supposed to be the planet’s
first line of defense.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

Lexi’s stupid and vainglorious comparison of herself to Helen of Troy? The

the Loonatics search the ship it turns out the shrink-bots have returned, and
the captured pieces in Marvin’s game determine what parts of Acmetropolis get
shrunk. This lets Bugs tell Wile E. where to project the force field to keep
more buildings from shrinking, although it doesn’t actually get rid of the
shrink-bots so he’s not accomplishing anything besides cutting down on how much
cleanup they’ll have to do later.</span></div>

address the morality of the Loonatics’ actions in this episode, it’s okay for
an honorable character to ignore a deal when he knows his less-than-honorable
opponent is ignoring it too. Now it’s okay for them to go on the offensive
since they know Marvin’s a lying POS, but oh no, they had to put all

finds Marvin’s mondo-super power generator thingy, which is on the bridge of
the ship for easy access by meddling heroes, and teleports it to Loonatics HQ.
With Marvin’s power source taken care of the Loonatics plot their escape, only
to find out the thrusters on their horse-ship got smashed when they were being
reeled in. Oh no, they’re trapped! Wait, no they aren’t because there are
plenty of ships there they can steal to make their getaway and always were! Holy shit, that mattered!</span></div>

sees the Loonatics on the security cam, realizes he’s been trick and puts the

covers his friends by deflecting lasers with it while they run.</span></div>

down the missiles and then Marvin’s ship itself which suddenly isn’t so unassailable
after all. Could they have been a little more clear about this, please? Like it had a really good force field that doesn't work now because the Loonatics stole the main power system (Evidently not the only one)?</span></div>

a way having only one major complaint against an episode is kind of a mark of
distinction in and of itself considering what show this is. On the other hand,
the first truly dangerous-seeming villain of the series is Marvin the Martian,
and he only seems that way because of all the ordinance he’s packing. Furthermore,
it’s all downhill from here, since there’s only one episode to go before the
three-part season finale. And who’s the only A-list <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Looney Tunes</i> character we haven’t seen?</span></div>

chose to adapt into its new format, the one at the core of this episode is
probably the worst. And from the title I bet you already know what it is.</span>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Seems the good people of Acmetropolis are still
trying to make up their minds about where to put their worst criminals, as now
we see the “Acmetropolis Intergalactic Prison Ship.” Massive (<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2012/12/loonatics-unleashed-stop-world-i-want.html">remember him</a>?)
breaks out of his cell, commandeers a ship, and flies to the nearest museum to
start robbing it. Guy doesn’t waste any time, you gotta hand that to him.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">By the way, they didn’t get Michael Clarke Duncan to
come back to voice Massive again. Instead he’s vocalized by another black man
with three names, Kevin Michael Richardson, who voices Taz and Wile E.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The Loonatics (sans Lexi and Roadrunner) are quickly
on the scene, with Bugs thinking it’s strange. “I never knew Massive had a
taste for art.” Daffy replies with “When you’re that big, you pretty much have
a taste for anything,” which I think <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">might</b>
be a joke. No matter how you slice it, though, that’s an idiotic thing for Bugs
to say. Massive was interested in stealing anything valuable enough, and yes,
we did see him steal a large objet d’art in his debut episode. <i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">The asset for which was</span> recycled in this very episode, in fact.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">As in his previous solo appearance, Massive’s
combination of control over gravity and nigh-invulnerability soon has him mopping
the floor with Taz, Daffy and Wile E., leaving Bugs to quip, “Well Mr.
Big-and-Tall, looks like it’s just you and me!” He must be shaking in his
boots, knowing full well you can’t hurt him at all either.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Oh, but the real draw’s a figure in a mech suit who
decloaks on a nearby rooftop. If the coloration and oversized gun don’t suggest
anything, the wearer’s voice will.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Yeah, this is the episode with Elmer Fudd.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lord have mercy on us all.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Fudd sets his gun to “rabbit,” which might be a
throwback to that one short where Wile E. invented a flying saucer that homes
in to whatever animal its dial points to, but I don’t know. It ends up shooting
a tranquilizer dart anyway, one that looks like a big plunger yet, and why is
that suited specially for rabbits? He ends up hitting Daffy in the butt with it

prey has the home court advantage, all kinds of high-tech defense systems and a

but the show wants us to believe it does). Daffy tries to get a snack, Taz
tries to steal Daffy’s snack, and there’s so much noise it makes Fudd fall off
the side of the building before he can take another shot at Bugs. You see what
I mean about nothing having changed with the comic relief villains even with

checking in to see if the monitor crew’s got a lead on Massive, Taz hasn’t been
paying attention at all and only stuffing his face, and belches into the mic in

apparently was an exhibit and not part-owner after all. Bugs pulls a gun on him
for some reason. You might think it thematically appropriate, a showdown in a
Western-themed museum and all. But nothing happens around that and nothing’s
said to that effect (Actually, the gun looks to be the one Wile E. came up with
to neutralize Massive’s powers in his first appearance. The one they ended up
not using on him. Good on him for bringing it, but
with all the other stupid shit they point out in this episode, would a quick
reminder what that gun’s for be asking too much?).</span></div>

and blocks the bolas Fudd had meant for Senor Long Ears. Fudd bumps a

him up. The Fudds have been a line of “great hunters since the beginning of
time.” And in case you need me to point it out, that’s the big steaming gob of
nonsense I mentioned before.</span></div>

directly link this show, in-show, to the original property. With this junk
about the Fudds being a dynasty of master hunters. Say it with me guys, ha ha,
no. Elmer pulled off like two wins in all of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Looney Tunes </i>history (there was “Rabbit Rampage” and “Hare Brush,”
and that’s it, I think. I could count “What’s Opera, Doc?” but he feels bad
about it, so…I don’t know). Even in the version of history they show, its examples
consist of a Fudd being distracted by some cute, harmless thing while something much
bigger and meaner which according to Lexi killed him seconds after the picture was
taken is right behind him, completely unnoticed. One of whom’s a caveman.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I almost feel like I’m watching <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Trigun</i> again, where everyone has heard Vash the Stampede's
basically the Devil incarnate with the power to leave entire cities smoldering
in his wake. But when we meet him, he’s actually this gigantic loser who
doesn’t want to hurt anyone (even if the stories about the destruction he’s
capable of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">aren’t</b> exaggerated).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">But Lexi’s idiotic little slideshow isn’t supposed
to be revealing the truth behind the legend, it’s supposed to be reinforcing
Fudd’s boast after his latest failure that he’s the greatest hunter in the
universe. What could I possibly say to that? What better proof could I possibly
give of how epically stupid this show is?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I suppose there’s how when the alarm goes off at a
cookie factory, Bugs whips out his Batmanesque Detective Skills™ once again and
opines “I have a feeling when we find Massive, we’ll find Fudd.” What piercing
insight, as there was nothing whatever to indicate he was there the last two
times…oh wait, between Daffy suddenly being tranqed and Bugs noticing someone
cloaked Predator-style fleeing the scene of Massive’s last robbery, yeah there
definitely was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The team arrives at the cookie factory and indeed
Massive’s there, and uses his powers to bombard the Loonatics with the cookies.
Taz is up to the challenge and starts gobbling them out of the air. It doesn’t
even look like the other cookies are hitting him even if they could do any
damage. In fact even though he’s standing right in the middle of them, he has
to actually reach out and grab them to get them into his mouth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A fight proper breaks out and Bugs actually is
knocked on his butt by a big wad of cookies. Yes, really. Roadrunner spins
Massive around really fast, and Daffy’s accidentally knocked onto a hook that
carries him by Fudd and knocks him into a vat of cookie dough just before he
tries to take another shot at Bugs.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Wile E. shoots Massive with that gun meant to
nullify his powers, but instead it makes him explode; he was really a robot
lookalike. Deep breaths, Star. Deep breaths. Wile E. spouts off that the
robot’s CPU can probably give them some clues, and Bugs tells him to take the
robot’s CPU and see if it can give them some clues. Which he clearly had no
intention of doing before being told that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The Loonatics do some digging and find out that the
greatest artist, singing space cowboy and cookie chef in the world were all
kidnapped around the same time. The writers still trying desperately to
convince us to believe what they say, Lexi asks, “What’s the connection between
a great hunter like Fudd, and a rampaging robot?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Those Batmanesque Detective Skills™ go to work again
as Bugs figures that with all these top creative types disappearing, Fudd might
be collecting them, and the reason he’s been using a decoy of Massive is to
lure out and capture the greatest crime fighter too. Daffy immediately says
that’d have to be him, but Lexi says that’d have to be Bugs. Look, she probably
doesn’t know this for sure yet, but Fudd would’ve nailed her nominee for
greatest hero every time if Daffy hadn’t screwed him up without even trying.
STOP TELLING ME HOW AWESOME THESE CHARACTERS ARE WHEN THEY’RE SO FORKING NOT.</span></div>

greatest hits, why don’t we?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A rock monster knocks Taz off a cliff. Attacking it in
a fit of righteous anger to avenge his teammate, <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2012/05/loonatics-unleashed-going-underground.html">Bugs manages to knock it right on top of said teammate</a>. Who’s all right, no thanks to his brainless leader.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Despite knowing a villain’s taken over the base, <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/01/loonatics-unleashed-menace-of-mastermind.html">he can’t for the life of him understand why the front door won’t open.</a></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He thinks it won’t be any trouble to blast his way
out of a jail cell built to contain a supervillain, <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/04/loonatics-unleashed-acmegeddon-part-one.html">leading to him nearly incinerating himself and three of his teammates</a>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/04/loonatics-unleashed-acmegeddon-part-two.html">Distracting <b>his</b> boss during a space dogfight</a>, resulting in her being captured by the enemy. And
resulting in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Daffy</b> saving her butt.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Failing to notice that evil mutant dolphins were
evil mutants. Later being <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/06/loonatics-unleashed-creep-in-deep-snark.html">defeated and captured by a Sea World attraction</a>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/06/loonatics-unleashed-secrets-of-guardian.html">Attacking an opponent from behind</a>. Which might
not’ve been so bad, if not for how he called out the same opponent on doing
that to him, and how that fight’s supposed to be proof that Bugs is a “true
warrior” and worthy of the Legendary Weapon of Legends.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Taking the incompetent guy and simpleminded,
gluttonous brute as his only ridealong backup <a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/07/loonatics-unleashed-heir-up-there-snark.html">on a mission whose failure will plunge the universe into war for a millennium and a half</a>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Just now he got his ass kicked by a swarm of marauding
chocolate chip cookies.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And I’m not going to get into it now, but as long as
I’m reading off Bugs’s rap sheet I might as well point out the climactic fight
of the season ends on what’s easily Bugs’s proudest moment in the history of
defying his hype.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I’m all for making a hero flawed so he doesn’t
become a boring all-powerful god, but if you’re going to call one character
incompetent, and another hyper-competent, there needs to actually be a
contrast.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">But as to Fudd’s intentions, he’s decided that
because Daffy’s inadvertently foiled every one of his attempts on Bugs, the
water fowl must be the real greatest hero and changes targets.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">They do in fact go with the laughable logic that
Bugs is Fudd’s target and use him as bait in a trap. “Isn’t this pretty risky?”
Lexi asks. Isn’t that something you knew when you agreed to put on the tights?
I don’t know, since they never showed how the Loonatics became a team and never
will. You’d hope it’d go without saying, though.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Daffy sulks elsewhere at this nonsense about who’s
the best hero, and the other Loonatics prove so wrapped up in their delusion of
Bugs’s awesomeness nobody’s around to help out when Fudd traps Daffy in a power
net.</span></div>

prison and has himself a private little sanctum full of priceless art
treasures. More than that, it’s also where he’s put several people in stasis as
part of the ultimate collection: people. The greatest artist, cookie chef, and
singing space cowboy of all time, as previously mentioned, as well as the
greatest clown. I’m a little surprised Otto doesn’t claim that honor for
himself, but maybe that’s because he’d have to freeze himself and put himself
in his collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Anyway, Otto was indeed saving the space for
greatest hero of all time, to which end he hired Fudd. Daffy does have
a spot in Otto’s collection of people, but it’s as the greatest <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">screw-up</b> hero of all time. The greatest
hero of all time spot’s reserved for Bugs, because yeah, sure he is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Maybe it’s all in the way the news of the Loonatics’
battles with the forces of evil gets out, that people don’t know the real
reason for their continued success is the villains’ incompetence eclipsing the
Loonatics’ own (this season more than ever). But there’s no way I’m giving a
show like this that kind of credit, and no way I’m acknowledging the Loonatics
as any good at what they do. That only leaves me with assuming there’s a very
small pool of candidates, or that when Otto says “of all time” he means “of our
time.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Otto reveals he’s actually adding them<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> both</b> to his collection since Fudd’s the
greatest hunter! Even sticking to the show’s precepts, isn’t that a little
doubtful by now? He only succeeded in capturing the greatest screw-up hero of
all time, and has bad enough judgment in his prey to mistake Daffy for the just
plain greatest hero. And throughout this scene, Otto’s been making fun of
Fudd’s speech impediment by copying it himself. Make of that what you will.</span></div>

unparalleled hunting skills and captured the one member of this menagerie who
can put up a fight, either. Otto’s going to freeze him and add him to the
collection right now, “right next to [Daffy], your greatest conquest.” Is Otto
getting rid of Fudd because he’s not in fact that great? Wouldn’t he not belong
in the collection, then? None of this makes any freaking sense.</span></div>

be possible for a chunky midget in a jester suit riding a unicycle to be scary,
but this one isn’t. Otto gets Fudd with his freeze ray, but he and Daffy still
manage to escape by abandoning Fudd’s mech-suit. Which apparently doesn’t have
any <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">weapons</b> they could be using
right about now.</span></div>

eye lasers. And with his Batmanesque Detective Skills™, Bugs already figured
out everything that’s going on, since Otto’s the “greatest collector of all
time.” And when were we supposed to have found that out about the character? Unless
that’s what he was supposed to be doing with turning random kids into mixed-up
mutants--and how the hell could that count as what he’s doing now—never. There’s
being a good deductive thinker who pieces things together from various clues, and
then there’s just magically gifting the characters with knowledge of the true
plot. This is even worse than “Cape Duck” where Bugs figured out the Slasher in
jail was a phony from the color of his toothbrush.</span></div>

freeze ray, and had a much bigger floating freeze the whole time. Which he uses
to freeze Bugs. But then Bugs suddenly cracks open, revealing he’s nothing but
a…<writer quivers with barely suppressed rage> robot double.</span></div>

anticipating this and he was really a robot double too. Before he can freeze
the real Loonatics, he manages to completely forget he didn’t catch Fudd and
Daffy, who knocks Otto into the path of his own freeze ray with a power egg.</span></div>

the whole show, obviously, but this one’s the very embodiment of the worst sin
a writer can commit. Show me, don’t tell me. Along with that, it suffers more
than most for the even greater genre confusion brought on by the second season.
You know, how they still wanted it to work as a superhero show and new
direction for the property, while trying to bring back the zany humor people
equate with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Looney Tunes</i>, and never
figuring out how to strike an effective balance.</span></div>

show’s not limiting itself to the A-Listers, as our villain/reinvented
character du jour is the Shropshire Slasher/Sagittarius Stomper from “Deduce,
You Say” with bionic arms and legs. Because they based the episode title (that
is, this episode, and not “Deduce, You Say”) on the kind of movie they did, I’m
still calling him Slasher.</span>

yes, about that. The title’s presumably meant to be a reference to the movie <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cape Fear</i>, but as usual there’s a
problem. The most recent version of the movie was a 1991 remake, while this
episode aired in 2006. How many kids in this show’s desired audience would’ve
seen that (I haven’t even seen it)? How many kids in general, considering that
according to Wikipedia it’s about how “Sam Bowden is a lawyer in the quiet town
of New Essex, North Carolina. Max Cady is a former client whom Bowden had
defended fourteen years previously when he was working as a public defender in
Atlanta. Cady, who was being tried for the rape” okay we’re done talking about

Slasher punches the spire off a building, and as it falls he calls “Ollie Ollie

hide and seek and people can come out. Everybody already is out, though, and…I
don’t get it. That wasn’t supposed to mean “step out and please get underneath
this thing I’m throwing down to crush you,” was it? Because that would just be
stupid. And we know the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Loonatics

out of the way he bumps into Wile E. and knocks the gun out of his hands, and
it fires. In true kid-friendly fashion it hits a car and turns it into water but leaves the driver untouched. But it keeps firing, and…</span></div>

tries to run up to the gun, meaning the supposed screw-up character’s the only
one a lifting a finger to do anything about it, when it blows up and flings him
into the air. A stray blast--from the gun which isn’t actually blown up,
somehow--hits the ledge Slasher’s on, liquefying it and making him fall off. Daffy
runs into Slasher and they wrestle around in midair, try to force each other to be on the bottom when
they land, but Daffy wins by tying Slasher’s stretchy arms together and
immediately becomes a media sensation for defeating the villain.</span></div>

will admit that Daffy <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">does</b>
sound pretty jerky when he starts talking as if the rest of the Loonatics are
just his support team. I’m still not sure that warrants Lexi ear laser-ing him
in the next scene for it. This would be a lot easier to swallow if the show played the whole team as a bunch of comedic bumblers who usually save the day through dumb luck. I've really never gotten that sense though, not even in this season that tries a little bit to lighten things up. Frankly Daffy is the only character they put any effort into, showing his goofy side but also showing him to be brave and heroic when things really hit the fan. Everyone else they felt lazy with to me, just assuming we would automatically think they were cool, competent and funny, and not bothering to put much effort into the other Loonatics' fights or jokes.</span></div>

team heads to the Museum of Greek History Dare’s just robbed, and an ersatz
Jimmy Olsen from the press conference before shows up and asks Daffy how he plans to
deal with this new villainous threat. Bugs and Roadrunner are mad about this,

invited the reporter. For all they know he was on his way there anyway because

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What I'm saying is they did this in the wrong order. The other Loonatics immediately come down on Daffy <b>when the media shows up at a crime scene</b>, assuming right away that he called in a reporter just to boost his own ego. After Daffy said he was the one who specifically called the reporter and told him about this robbery, then that would've been fine. Even the reporter focusing his questions on Daffy about what he'll about this new danger really isn't that wrong, since like I went on and on about above the other Loonatics who are mad at Daffy for putting his ego above getting the job done, didn't even try to do their jobs. They just stood around and watched as Wile E.'s gun went out of control, while Daffy tried to stop it and took on Slasher all by himself. Again, they can just shut the hell up.</span></div>

Daffy and Jimmy Olsen are next at the prison where Slasher’s locked up.
Supposedly. Since Jimmy asks what they’re doing there, I presume Bugs or Daffy
invited him along. Since Daffy’s showing signs of fear that Slasher might have
busted out after all, he probably wouldn't have done it to make sure he doesn't look bad, following the show's logic of Daffy's rampant ego. So are we left to assume Bugs invited the reporter?</span></div>

Dr. Dare chooses now to come back and flies around turning people to stone and
making stupid rock puns. The Loonatics are on hand this time, and the weirdest
thing happens. Bugs’s eyes glow yellow as he goes on the attack, but all he does
is a couple flips off of rocks that Dare’s rock monsters throw at him and chop
one of the monsters up with his sword. He doesn’t even use the sword in
anything but its regular sword mode to do that. Lexi’s eyes glow as she joins
the fray, but she’s firing off ear lasers when she does. Why is Bugs glowing
like he was using superpowers back there?</span></div>

a simple answer to that, of course. They thought it would make his fight look

Olsen shows up yet again and praises Daffy’s latest triumph, but Daffy gives
Wile E. all the credit this time. Even going so far as to say he was the one
really responsible for Slasher’s capture, too. Yeah, that’s craven of Daffy,
but…that’s what Wile E. wanted in the first place. Recognition for a victory he thought belonged to him (but you know my feelings on that already). Why he be lookin’ so
uncertain, then? Hell, when they watch the broadcast later, Wile E. even says
“all’s right with the world” now.</span></div>

the show has to embarrass itself again by having Bugs notice that Slasher’s
taken up knitting to kill time during his incarceration. This is supposed to be
a clue that something’s up and that Bugs is a master detective, but it really
works better as an indicator that Slaher’s tough enough to do this and still be
considered a badass.</span></div>

the guise of taking a vacation. Taz asks if he didn’t just take one, and the
only thing I think he could be talking about would be the episode I skipped,
“Apocalypso.” And that doesn’t really count as a vacation because like I said,
they ended up fighting space amazons with plant control powers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs reminds
them they saw Slasher and he was definitely still in jail, even if this
completely flies in the face of his Master Detective-ness which was tipped off
by the things he noticed during those two check-up visits. Bugs even seems only
mildly suspicious despite their story being completely transparent, especially
when they run off in a panic when they’re almost creamed by a desk and safe at
the same time. </span></div>

and cartoons you’ll know that’s about the first place a bad guy would look for
them, and Slasher shows up almost instantly. Wile E. seems to have been banking
on that as he set a trap for Slasher where a big metal box drops on him, but
the super genius forgot to lock the door and Slasher just walks right out. He
doesn’t even rip it open with super strength.</span></div>

run around a corner to get away from Slasher, he grabs Wile E., and Daffy hits
him in the face with an egg that does absolutely nothing but surprise him
enough to drop Wile E. so they can seriously run around the exact same corner
using the exact same animation they just did. Wile E. finally does something
relatively smart and reminds Daffy to use his Aqua Dense attack on the sewer
water. He batters Slasher with it for a few seconds before Bugs and Lexi
suddenly show up and use the liquefy things gun to freeze Slasher solid. And a
sheet of ice totally sounds like something that would stop a guy strong enough
to weaponize large parts of skyscrapers and throw heavy objects for miles and
through the roofs and upper floors of buildings alike. Doesn’t it? </span></div>

did the rabbits find them? Lexi’s “sonic hearing” let her hear Slasher’s
whistling. That is, the eerie background music that played whenever heavy things were about to land on somebody. Oh isn't that just the epitome of fourth wall humor. Gag.</span></div>

how did Slasher bust out of jail, you ask? “He didn’t,” Bugs smugly replies. It
was really his mom in a robo-suit the whole time, which she was able to build
because she’d also made her son’s bionic appendages. Hence the pills, the
knitting and the pink toothbrush. The knitting I’m almost prepared to let go,
but this show comes off as pretty shallow for seriously saying the pink
toothbrush was a clue.</span><br />

another bland episode, this one being “Apocalypso,” where Lexi’s befriended by
a bunch of plant-controlling space amazons. You can see the problem right
there. They based an episode around Lexi, who has nothing to base anything
around with one exception: her gender. And the only thing it references about
the franchise’s roots is this:</span></div>

time things begin with a frustrated pizza delivery boy shooting his gooey
calorie trap into a dumpster to get even with his boss. It lands next to a
glowing piece of future garbage. Our young wastrel reacts thusly: “Whoa, dude!
That’s some gnarly trash! Far out!” They had to have been trying to make him
sound brain dead on purpose, right? The space garbage turns out to be a robot space
parasite of some kind that attaches itself to him.</span></div>

Loonatics jet out to answer some kind of “food fight” emergency call, and I
notice that Roadrunner, who, again, can fly by flapping his arms or something,
has the same flame effect around him as the others have with their jetpacks. Is
he somehow immune to the heat his speed generates, or were the animators just
lazy?</span></div>

unhealthy pies start to fly out.</span></div>

exactly “unidentified,” is it?</span></div>

Daffy too, as the one who never tips. But if Daffy’s right about him being “the
lazy slacker who’s always late with our pizza,” once again the show’s attempts to
make the water fowl look like a jerk fall flat. You don’t get rewarded for
doing a crappy job, and having a boss you don’t like isn’t an excuse, sorry. Daffy
gets smashed with an oven and covered in pizza again before landing in Taz’s
arms, and “comedically” nearly eaten.</span></div>

it would’ve been entrenched so deeply it would have to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">want</b> to leave in order to free the host. I don’t know why they’re

really fast way they talk is portrayed as being really grating on everyone
else, but…I don’t know, I just didn’t think it was most of the time. Maybe John
Moschitta was just too big a part of my childhood between <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Transformers</i> and Micro Machines commercials, or maybe the Loonatics
are just assholes like I might’ve intimated once or twice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Besides, I don't know, I always got the idea that Roadrunner's fast speech was supposed to be his quirk. The funny/endearing thing that makes him stand out in the group. I never really got the sense that it was supposed to be annoying, unless maybe it was when he wouldn't shut down a long ramble, and even then he was gently quieted down by the others. Daffy's supposed to be the annoying one, after all, right? This feels very out of left field.</span></div>

they don’t mean being a superhero, either. When Ma tries to give him a few

Which you’re sitting out on the coffee table, you morons. I remember that kind
of crap happening on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Ripping Friends</i>.

monster shows up on the news, and this show’s so freaking lazy it’s nothing but
a slightly modified version of the ones from “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2011/06/loonatics-unleashed-attack-of-fuzz.html">Attack of the FuzzBalls</a>.” Roadrunner, of course, leaves to help his buddies corral it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With
his brother out of the house, Rip notices he left a backpack with his keycard
to Loonatics HQ sticking out. This is all he needs to get in, not just to the
building but Wile E.’s lab and make off with the parasite. Guess they got rid
of that facial scanner thingy from “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2013/04/loonatics-unleashed-acmegeddon-part-one.html">Acmegeddon</a>.” Not a bad move with how easy
it was to fake out, but just a swipe card? That’s it? In this hyper-advanced
future society, that’s what their security consists of now?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Roadrunner
apologizes to his teammates for not showing up sooner to the monster, but they
of course wave it off like good friends, not like <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">superheroes</b> who recognize that a delay of seconds or the absence of
one guy can make all the difference in terms of damage and body count.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
as they haul the monster away, Roadrunner sees a Robo Amigo tearing the head
off a girl’s doll. What he doesn’t see is Robo-Rip floating eight feet above
and in front of him, making the robot evil with his new powers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
Rip doesn’t stop there. Robo Amigos run rampant. And the reporter relaying consumers’
dissatisfaction is Misty Breeze from all the way back in “<a href="http://spectrumofmadness.blogspot.com/2011/12/loonatics-unleashed-weathering-heights.html">Weathering Heights</a>,”
same VA and everything (and there’s that lady from “Attack of the Fuzz Balls,”
“Stop the World I Want to Get Off,” and “I Am Slamacus” again). But they don’t
say that’s her, and she was a weather forecaster and not an on-the-spot
reporter, so let’s harp on lazy reuse of background character designs one more
time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Roadrunner
asks Wile E. for help, asking not to have to beg, and the joke is Wile E. has
to point out he already is begging. Wile E. does agree to help, “but only
because I want to know how something I designed broke down.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Roadrunner
thanks him and we get this little bit of dialogue:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Roadrunner:
“If you weren’t a coyote (and a guy) I’d kiss you!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wile
E.: “Lucky for me, I’m both.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Uh…yeah.
Right.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Robo Amigo they examine is perfectly normal, except maybe not the remote
control, because when Wile E. tries that it goes flying around like a ballistic
missile and knocks him off the roof again. But this time he defies expectations
by having brought jet boots so he doesn’t fall. Although if you were paying any
amount of attention you already noticed, and probably expected something along
those lines. Hilarity, thy name is not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Loonatics
Unleashed</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They
come to the conclusion we already know, that somebody else is controlling the
Robo Amigos. Who happens to be right there! Rip brags about how evil he is and
how their dad has to acknowledge him after he wrecks Acmetropolis.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Speaking
of, in downtown Acmetropolis something throws a car into a building, and Bugs
astutely observes, “This can’t be good.” You don’t say, carrot breath.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Rip
announces himself. “The rip is on a tear!” Oh man, I should’ve been counting
these idiotic quips from the beginning. And only the Loonatics themselves know
who this guy is, not the “people of Acmetropolis” he calls out to, so they
wouldn’t even get it and would just think he’s an idiot.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Roadrunner
again tries to apologize because of all the time he’s been spending with his
family (which if you think about it’s what aggravated the issue with his
brother that led to this), but again Bugs forgives him. “We all have family problems
sometimes.” And it would fill out this show so much if maybe that figured into
other plots once in a while. Nope? Didn’t think so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wile
E. informs the others it’s not just Rip having the ability to control toy
robots. He also stole the molecular reconstructor that made Roadrunner’s dad
little. “What’s he gonna do? Turn Robo Amigo into Tiny Amigo?” Lexi asks
incredulously. Number one, how would either she or Rip know about that? Neither
of them was there. Number two, if she does know about that, is she truly so
dumb she doesn’t think that something that make someone small <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">and then big again</b> could just make
something big in the first place? Its real name is even “the molecular reconstructor,”
not the “make things teeny gun.” So saying, Rip does turn a Robo Amigo into a
Ginormous Amigo to better work out his daddy issues.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Little
brother, you need to chill! Try some yoga!” Bugs warns, and Rip replies by
having his Amigo smash a building to try to bury the Loonatics in rubble. That’s probably how I’d react if he aimed some of his lame-ass banter at
me.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
laser visions the parasite while Lexi and Wile E. distract Rip, but this time
the parasite doesn’t come off. It’s been on too long to force it anymore. To my
immense satisfaction if no-one else’s, Ginormous Amigo punches Bugs out of the
air before Rip makes another giant plaything.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
they remember they said the parasite can still disconnect…if it wants to.
Roadrunner grabs Rip and then forces him into a nosedive at supersonic speed
toward the street, scaring the parasite into separating and forcing the
Ginormous Amigos that were pursuing them to crash into what had a second before
been a very busy street with no consequence.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Rip
apologizes and says he didn’t mean what he said, and Roadrunner corrects him
that yeah, he did, and unspoken but still true, everybody harbors thoughts like
that of some kind. Roadrunner, meanwhile, apologizes for not listening better
before. He kinda did, but their dad attributed the idea Rip did have to him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That,
however, does get resolved. Kind of. Pa shows up and explains “I used Rip’s
first edition idea and now the Robo Amigo’s back in business.” First edition? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What</b> first edition? The one that does
one thing before exploding? Oh yeah, it’d get less bad press than the ones who
run around and destroy things, but parents are probably hoping for more from
their $600. And how was that Rip’s idea?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Things
return to a Misty Breeze newscast outside a toy store, but this time Robo
Amigos are awesome again. So awesome a kid steals hers on camera. Okay, that
was actually kind of funny. Even Daffy has a Robo Amigo, but he tells it to get
back in its box because it’s more valuable to collectors that way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
forget about that, bet you’re just dying to find out what happened to the
parasite. A flying saucer lands and a purple alien kid gets out. The parasite’s
some kind of lost pet, it seems, and it sinks its teeth into her head just like
her dad’s has done to him. And neither becomes a telekinetic psychopath, the
dad instead just giving a “kids will be kids” remark before they fly back off
into the great beyond.</span><br />

see if we can glean something of the Loonatics’ personalities and interests
from their personal effects. Bugs has a blanket spangled with carrots and what
looks like a snowboard by the window. Lexi has a pair of water skis, a
surfboard, a beach bucket and shovel and sleeps in a hammock.</span></div>

has a huge barbell hanging over his bed, and there’s a computer he’d probably

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Oh
yeah, and this is shown in split screen as a sinister black ship cruises toward
the building in preparation to attack. The first taste of its pilot’s voice
destroys any and all menace this could’ve conceivably had, though. Because
while they try to hide him in shadow, the attack’s being carried out by none
other than interplanetary mercenary Sylth Vester, lisp as huge as ever.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
Loonatics are woken up by fighter drones firing upon their building, and run to
defend themselves. This gives an idea of how Mastermind was able to get inside
so easily, as the weapons they focus on are just guns that amplify the
Loonatics’ own regular attacks, in this case Bugs’s laser vision and Lexi’s ear
lasers. That is, the weapons are just extensions of their powers and with no
Loonatics around to provide the firepower themselves, the base’s bigger defensive
measures are just hunks of metal.</span></div>

wonders where Daffy’s at during the attack, but again, he’s supposed to be the
incompetent one. Isn’t not having him around supposed to be a plus, as often as
it actually shows the opposite to be true?</span></div>

gloats to himself Zadvia will never get to the Loonatics in time to put
something into motion before he blows them up. Thing is, he pronounces her name
“zuh-day-vee-uh,” while it’s always been pronounced “zuh-dah-vee-uh.”</span></div>

Sylvester’s confidence, the Loonatics manage to shoot down his drones. Ya see,
the characters who were originally comical antagonists whose every attempt
ended in humiliating failure and extreme pain (and who weren’t reimagined as
heroes), like Sam, Sylvester, and Elmer? They’re still pretty much the same
thing even with the genre change. The only time Sylvester gets to show off what
a badass he is is in the series finale, when he’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">helping</i> the Loonatics.</span></div>

so incompetent that when his boss (who most assuredly is a deep-voiced man like
he sounds) checks in, Sylvester even pushes the wrong button while trying to
kill the link while trying to pretend he’s losing the connection so he won’t
have to report his failure.</span></div>

arrives at the HQ just as Sylvester mentioned (shouldn’t she be off ruling
Freleng or something? I seem to remember something about the Loonatics toppling its dictator), in a shot recycled from “Acmegeddon” where she pulled
up in her Frelengian ship. Which was destroyed in the process of getting them
to Optimatus’s asteroid. Where’d this one come from? They got away in
Optimatus’s personal ship, which doesn’t look a thing like that and which will
be acknowledged shortly. What’s going on with the white ship?</span></div>

goes on to explain how serious the stakes are. “The last time Blanc was
invaded, the universe was plunged into an intergalactic war that lasted 1500
years.” If Tweety doesn’t assume the throne, the same’s going to happen again
(and as with all flashbacks, despite it showing hyper-advanced spaceships, and

blasters, even a juice bar that serves the finest carrot smoothie this side of

pronunciation strikes again! Bugs pronounces it “op-tuh-may-tus,” not “mot-us.”
The latter being how it’s been pronounced by everybody who ever used that

it have been so hard to include pronunciation aides in the scripts?</span></div>

Taz even though he’s a dumb, barely comprehensible brute, as he’s the
Loonatics’ tank. But Daffy?

underway, Bugs points out they’re running with a skeleton crew, so everybody
needs to stick with their assignment. You wouldn’t be running with a skeleton
crew if you hadn’t split your forces by 50%, and that might’ve been advisable
when piloting an unfamiliar ship on a mission that’ll cause galaxy-spanning war
if it fails. After already being attacked once. Hope that nebulous task you
gave them’s worth it, Bugs.</span></div>

that. “[Taz] will be in charge of the engines, the weapons and the kitchen.”

called a “galley.” Daffy, of course, is put in charge of the least important

other Loonatics actually are doing something back at HQ, which is, I think,
surrounding the ship with a shield that renders it basically invisible. I think
because it’s explained by Roadrunner, who never says something in ten words
when he can use fifty. While even I’ll admit that’s kind of annoying, Bugs evidently
has no interest in what his defensive measures consist of on this vitally
important mission and turns him off, then checks in on Taz saying he can’t wait
to see what Taz is making for dinner. Taz is busy doing nothing but emptying
the entire fridge into his mouth. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>JUST

then, we’re really talking about the problem at the heart of the show itself:

“mustard stain,” Tweety decides to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">make</b>
the duck play hide-and-seek in the guts of the arch-villain’s warship. Right
when Bugs checks in to remind Daffy that galactic warfare’s hanging over their
heads if the mission fails. And Bugs is the one who gave Daffy this job, so who’s
the real idiot here?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tweety
wanders into a door marked with several large “keep out”-type signs. Sure,
maybe at only 3 ½ parsecs old he can’t read them (but again, he’s ruler of the
most important planet in the universe…?). But it’s so dangerous, yet the door
will just slide open, happy to be of assistance, to anybody who wants to go in?
Maybe Optimatus didn’t care because all his minions were robots, but Wile E.
“retrofitted it from top to bottom,” but didn’t add a lock to this particular
door?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yeah,
Daffy’s a jerk. But the problems he exacerbates are ones created because the
rest of the Loonatics are plain ol’ morons.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Daffy
follows Tweety into a jungle of power cables, and of course gets comedically
fried when Tweety pushes the button that’ll fry somebody inside those cables
when it’s pressed. Daffy understandably locks Tweety in his little…thing with
chains after this, but Tweety, being an asshole guaranteed to start the war
this mission’s meant to prevent, pulls out a paper clip and picks his way free.</span></div>

attacks then, even with the invisible shield up. That either means he’s smart
enough to de-encrypt Wile E.’s tech, or…there’s a traitor in their midst! Although
that doesn’t occur to them, but I’m not saying anything about their competence
or smarts in general I haven’t been saying this whole recap and beyond.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At
any rate, either Bugs and Taz suck at flying a ship under combat conditions or
Optimatus’s upgraded ship sucks at being in actual combat as their main weapons
are knocked out in the first salvo. They still have an ace in the hole, but it’s
that exact same thing from HQ where Bugs puts on a helmet that amplifies his
laser vision out one of the guns. That’s significantly less cool seeing it for
the second time in one episode, guys. You gotta pace yourselves on the cool
weapons and special attacks or they get lame.</span></div>

gets out and appears to jettison himself out the garbage chute. Daffy teleports
outside to try to find him only to be sucked up into Sylvester’s ship. Turns
out Tweety never actually left the ship and was just being a dick. He does
declare Daffy his best friend and vows to save him, though. Bugs comes in and
“just as I thought,” finds both Daffy and Tweety missing. That sounds like an
admission of your own epic suckitude, Bugs.</span></div>

Sylvester’s battle cruiser, Daffy and Sylvester actually bond over the horrific
injuries they’ve sustained at Tweety’s hands (so they’ve been at this a while,
then? Actually, I’m not wishing I got to see that. Weird). Daffy becomes my
favorite character all over again for not elaborating on “I lost parts of me I
never even got to use.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tweety
gets in and tries to save Daffy, but he’s spotted by Sylvester. That’s what I’m
guessing from Sylvester’s menacing laughter, anyway, right before Tweety trots
out his trademark line before Sylvester stuffs the heir apparent into his
mouth. No, guys, the set-up to “I tot I taw a putty tat” was all wrong there.
Tweety was the one sneaking up on Sylvester, not the other way around. He knew
for sure the putty tat was there. You can’t just throw a joke out there no
matter how recognizable, you gotta set it up properly. It just sounds stupid
that way.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tweety
pushes Sylvester’s mouth open, because apparently he has super-strength, frees
Daffy and then pushes the large and very obvious self destruct button that
Sylvester begs him not to. Daffy and Tweety get out just in time, and a charred
Sylvester flies away from the explosion of his ship making TIE Fighter noises.
Now that all the danger’s past, it finally occurs to the Loonatics back at base
that maybe Sylvester found them so easily because he had somebody on the
inside, like that mysterious cloaked, deep-male-voiced benefactor of his…who
could that possibly be??</span></div>

escort crew deliver Tweety to the only other character in this episode, who
congratulates them on a job well done. Until she reveals her scepter has a
thingy that makes her voice sound deep and masculine and a bandage-covered
Sylvester appears in a heavily-armed wheelchair! Granny has no intention of
giving up her completely vague kingdom and hired Sylvester herself!</span><br />

blazes away at the Loonatics only for it to turn out–d’oh!—those aren’t the
Loonatics, those are just holographic decoys! Having figured out who sold them
out, it makes perfect sense to use decoys, I agree. But this is such a hoary
old cliché I’m physically pained by typing the words “robot doubles” in
sequence, and this was close enough to get my nerves on edge.</span></div>

Sylvester’s out of ammo, because with the cat out of the bag he and Granny try
to make a run for it rather than blasting the real deal. Bugs is on the case and
whips out his magic sword, and with a cry of “Guardian Strike Sword Attack!” he
surrounds the two fleeing felons with an energy dome before they’re trapped in
a jello cube. Guess that’s going to be a regular thing.</span></div>

thing number one about this, Granny runs blindly into the dome because she’s
looking over her shoulder presumably to see if the Loonatics are gaining on
her. Meaning she should definitely see she’s surrounded by a frigging energy
dome.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Dumb
thing number two, here we are seeing Bugs getting to demonstrate what he’s
learned about his sword’s powers. But that’s the cool activation command? The
name of the weapon and the word “attack”? Yeah, yeah, I’m being a smartass
because I’ve seen the other episodes and I know that’s actually the command to
get it assume its attack configuration, and there’s also a defense one. As with
the previous episode built around the sword, though, none of this is explained,
and this vague command apparently activates all of its features that don’t
involve directly protecting Bugs. Because really, that’s a restrain, not an
attack. Come on.</span></div>

cutaway later Tweety’s the new ruler of Blanc, and makes Daffy a knight of the
realm, or planet or whatever, which requires him to hit Daffy over the head
with the scepter four or five times for some reason besides making me doubt his
reign all over again. It’s not even a retread of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Clampett">the king joke</a> from “Rabbit
Hood,” he just bashes Daffy a bunch of times because that, the writing team apparently
thought, would be sufficiently humorous on its own.</span></div>

we’re not really jumping right into the action this time, as the Loonatics take

time to wreck some more property and leave more Acmetropolisians without

yeah, one other thing. Lexi explains that these beasties are from a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">petting</i> zoo. Yes, in the future cloned
animals capable of rampant property damage and loss of life are also ones

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wile
E. even gets in on it, correcting Bugs that this beastie isn’t an elephant but
“a genetically-created miniature mastodon from the Mesozoic Era.” No, stupid.
Mastodons were around in the Pleistocene Era. I found that out in five seconds.
Maybe the writers were getting their prehistory lessons from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Zyuranger</i> or something, which isn’t even
a good way to get an impression of the Sentai series, never mind history
lessons.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When
Lexi drops off the pteranodon (still in the jell-o cube), who should she run
into but Pierre Le Pew, who starts hitting on her. But that’s the last we hear
of that. He doesn’t try to seduce Lexi or any other woman again. The usual
schtick of a Pepe Le Pew cartoon’s already starting to wear out its welcome
after seven minutes, and this show can do neither humor nor character interplay
well, so that’s probably for the best.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You’ll
notice I call this character by the name he has in this version of the show and
not the original. That’s because, like Mr. Leghorn, if I go along with the
show’s idea that the characters descended from the originals, Pepe Le Pew’s
genetic line intermingled with humans at some point (even if his unique odor
comes from dubious taste in cologne this time around) and I really don’t want
to dwell on that in something supposedly aimed at young children. So, Pierre it
is.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">While
we’re on the subject of names, in this version Taz’s “real” name is Slam Tasmanian.
Now you understand the title, and we can get back to the recap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
assigns Taz to catching “old tusk-face” while the others split up to capture
other runaway animals. And I know Roadrunner’s supposed to be staying
airborne by flapping his arms so fast you can’t see it, but does it look instead
like he’s staying up by the power of his noxious underarm odor? Which come to
think of it a super-fast hero probably would have problems with.</span></div>

Taz does promptly bronco bust the mastodon, which gets Pierre to thinking the
beast’s perfect a little show he’s putting on, which he punctuates with an evil
little chuckle…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
round-up continues, with Wile E. at the zoo and determining the beasties didn’t
in fact all serendipitously escape at the exact same time, somebody
deliberately let them out. Bugs instructs Daffy to get Taz, allowing Daffy to
be nearby for this next part.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pierre
introduces himself to Taz, and extends his sympathies that Taz never got to win
the wrestling championship before the meteor hit and he presumably was no
longer eligible because of having superpowers (but like the show’s going to
explain how that works? Ha!).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Not
that it would’ve meant anything anyway, because the episode remembers his back
story but manages to forget the reason Taz never got the chance to win the
championship had nothing to do with his martial abilities (which didn’t look
that great either), but <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">because
wrestling is fake</b>. He never got to win because he wasn’t popular enough.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pierre
runs a fighting federation of his own, and promises Taz the chance to be a
champ there. But it’s the promise of lots of prize money that gets Daffy’s
attention (“comically” causing him to stop his vehicle and let the saber tooth
tiger chasing him to knock itself out in the process). Daffy presents himself
as Taz’s manager, and says he’ll only be taking a ridiculously huge percentage
of the winnings. And they kill another ten seconds of run-time ramming it into
our skulls that what’s really important to Taz is getting to be the champ, and
what’s important to Daffy is all the money they’ll make.</span></div>

other Loonatics lock up the rest of the dinosaurs and whatnot, saying “that
should do it.” Except for how they don’t know where Taz and Daffy are and that
means a mastodon and saber tooth tiger are still unaccounted for. Have I
mentioned lately how these guys aren’t very good at being superheroes?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They
do realize they’re a couple idiots short, and thanks to (you guessed it) one of
Wile E.’s handy whatever devices, they’re able to pinpoint Daffy and Taz’s
location. Not that it matters, because having put their thumbprint on a
holo-contract, Pierre then teleports the three of them to his wandering arena.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Through
scientific analysis Wile E. figures out that Pierre teleported away with their
friends. That is, he ignored the fact that he and the other Loonatics were
there to see the three of them disappear in a flash of light.</span></div>

then begin a training montage where Daffy’s dressed up like Mickey from the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rocky </i>movies, and is comically damaged
several times by an oblivious Taz. And in doing so, once again negates Wile E.
having instant regeneration among his powers for the primary purpose of enabling
this kind of humor.</span></div>

it’s over and the tournament can begin in earnest. But as the arena reappears,

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
get why Daffy’s cheering; all he cares about is how fast Taz can make him rich.
Short matches mean less waiting. But imagine you’re one of the people who paid
out the nose for a seat in the stands. Are you going to feel like you got your
money’s worth in a match that short and unsatisfying? Since that’s exactly what
the show’s doing, let me save you some time: no, you aren’t.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">That’s
why wrestling’s staged (ahem, I mean, why there are people who <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">say</b> wrestling’s staged), because the
people who watch this want a spectacle. If he wasn’t just a dumb animal I’d say
Taz should know that considering what he was up to in his pre-hero days. You don’t
give the spectators something worthwhile (and based on what we hear in the next
scene, you lured them in with the promise that someone was going to die),
you’re probably going to be miles away with the ticket money by the time the
first match starts because you know you brought them here with a pack of lies.</span></div>

would’ve worked better if they did show the first match, then did a quick
montage of the ones that followed (hell, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddxDtqy4u2s"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Arena</i></a>,
one of the cheesiest movies I’ve ever seen, knew to do that). They probably
would’ve had to skip that dumb training montage they did make, though, and all
the classic japes it contained. But really, if you’re the tough guy on a
superhero team, you shouldn’t need to train to be ready for something like
this.</span></div>

other Loonatics are looking at the security cam footage of the zoo for some
reason, even though Lexi saw the same guy outside who they saw disappear along
with Daffy and Taz. Then again this is the same team whose super genius needed

any case, they feed Pierre’s image into the computer to match it, and it cycles
through most of the first season villains (And Sam. Whatever happened to him,
anyway?) before pulling up his record. First off though, why do we see it
trying to match him against Mastermind and Weather Vane? Pierre’s got long
hair, but you’re telling me these ridiculously advanced wall-sized computers
can’t filter out criminals of the wrong gender? They don’t try to match him
against Adolpho…</span></div>

other Loonatics are flying around trying to locate the arena before their
friend gets smashed, using Roadrunner’s inborn GPS powers. Powers that allow
him to globally position <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">other things</i>,
like when and where the arena’s going to appear next. Why didn’t they use that
to locate the train after the homing device got broken last episode, you may
ask? And are they zipping around to other planets fast enough to catch up to
the arena station suddenly, or is this supposed to be on Acmetropolis? Shut up
and watch the pretty pitchers, they’d tell you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Because
Taz is a superhero, he feels bad pounding on somebody so small, with both him
and Daffy ignoring that if this guy’s the undefeated champion he obviously has
something that levels the playing field. Taz gets tossed around, and when he
does land on Gorlop (while rebounding off the ropes Gorlop threw him into),
Gorlop gets a lot bigger and less cute.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This
makes it okay to hit him, because Taz does that, but again Gorlop gets even
bigger and uglier. And keeps doing so because Taz is too much of a mindless
beast to realize what’s going on, resulting in him getting pummeled. And again,
this is something the fans would already know about.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
rest of the Loonatics show up in what I think’s meant to be a nod to the
tendency of the old cartoons with flimsy disguises that work. Even though
Roadrunner’s wearing lederhosen. They also have no trouble getting to ringside
even though they’re in the stands, which seems unlikely. And for all their
purported desire to save Taz, none of them actually bother to join the fight
until they’ve wasted most of a minute explaining to Daffy the loser goes home
in a box.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Perhaps
hoping to win the purse and get rid of his annoying teammates at the same time,
Daffy fails to tell the other Loonatics about Gorlop’s power, resulting in
their blasts and blows just making Gorlop yet bigger and stronger every time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Really
making me worry for the world of the future, even after Bugs sees his eye
lasers making Gorlop more powerful he tries to press the attack, but it’s dumb
muscle Taz who figures out that to reduce Gorlop to a manageable size they have
to make him <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">expend</i> energy rather than
giving him more. This, unfortunately for the show, is a lot like Sypher’s
gimmick: he’d be a massive threat at first, but after a few battles (which he’s
more than had by fighting his way to the top spot) he loses the element of
surprise, and people would know about his singular gimmick and his threat level
should diminish considerably. Accordingly, once they’ve figured this out all
they have to do is stay out of the way of Gorlop’s punches until he’s a little
shrimp again. Do the fighters not get to see the other matches? Okay, fine, but
what if there’s somebody in the audience who’s seen Gorlop fight and likes the
challenger more? What if he found some way of telling his favored contender what to
expect? It already looks ridiculously easy to get from the stands to ringside…</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Taz
dodges around Gorlop until he misses enough times to make him shrink back to
normal, but Pierre creates a force field to try to force the Loonatics to fight
to the death once they’ve dealt with Gorlop. You know the show doesn’t have
enough balls to follow through on that, though. Instead the Loonatics zap
Gorlop until he’s big enough to touch the top of the force field and absorb it,
which for some reason (the episode’s nearly over) causes him to expel all his
energy and shrink back to normal.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pierre
promises revenge on the Loonatics, but he was never a threat which means Wile
E. immediately pins him and Lexi tells him to “Cool it, Casanova.” No.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don’t get to make that reference when you
stripped that out of the character except for that one teeny tiny thing in the
prologue.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then
Gorlop kicks Pierre in the toes and gets this smug smile on his face. Okay,
what’s the story behind that? Shouldn’t he be mad his spot at the top’s gone? Was
he forced into doing this somehow? Is it like that old Fantastic Four story
where if the alien gladiators didn’t fight, their planets would be blown up? I
guess it’s something like that, since when we cut back to Loonatics HQ Bugs is
rattling off all they just accomplished, including returning Gorlop to his home
planet. Noticeably absent is anything about the about the Loonatics arresting
the people who bought tickets to the deathmatch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Taz
is down because he didn’t get to be the champ, even though doing so would’ve
meant compromising himself as a hero because he would’ve had to kill Gorlop to
do it (just how he would’ve done that, I doubt even the show’s makers know). Besides,
his friends interfered in the match. Yet it turns out Lexi grabbed the belt on
her way out, and having it is all Taz needs to be happy. So really, this
episode could’ve ended with Taz stealing it from those divas before the final
match and fleeing the arena.</span></div>

set is Bugs upon his frozen treat he fails to notice the flash and noise of a
wormhole opening in the air behind him (but what else is new?). That is until a
flying train shoots out and buzzes the park. And he’s enough of a dope to think
the ice cream has enough kick to blow him fifteen feet through the air before
he hears the train horn.</span></div>

notes, “I’d like to stay and chat, but as you can see, I got a train to catch!”
I can? Is a flying train weird on Acmetropolis? See that question? Ones like it
usually come up because of bad world-building.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He
uses his flying motorcycle thing to reach the train. And this is where the show
starts trying for real to make an effort to break away from the run-of-the-mill action
show with funny animal heroes it was in the first season and be an actual <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Looney Tunes</i> show, what with how the
train’s being attacked by none other than Ophiuchus <s>Shaina</s> Sam.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
attempt to link the show more heavily to its roots in this season was probably
done to fix the broken rush-job the first season ended up being. Even if this
actually took it even farther away from its apparent aim of cashing in on the
popularity of those gutsier cartoons from Japan. Supposing that to be the case,
though, I was confused at why they wouldn’t come out swinging with their
strengthened ties to franchise history by showing something like a prominent
reinvented character such as we have here. As opposed to kicking off the season
with that stupid plot about mutated dolphins that could’ve easily been a first
season episode.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But…<a href="http://epguides.com/LoonaticsUnleashed/">all</a>
<a href="http://www.tv.com/shows/loonatics-unleashed/episodes/">the websites</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Loonatics_Unleashed_episodes">I checked</a> <a href="http://www.addic7ed.com/overview/4279/Loonatics%20Unleashed">for airdates</a> say this <i>was </i>the first aired episode of the
second season, meaning whoever put the DVD order together’s the one who screwed up.
So never mind that. Mind instead that reintroducing all the other characters
was the only thing on the crew’s minds, and not improving characterization or
plotting or joke quality or…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
since I’m not referring to the Loonatics by their new names, why change policy
for the rest of the old-new characters? This one’s pretty easy, as Sam’s an easy moniker, but thought I should make that clear.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Getting
back to the show, Sam intends to rob the train, but he’s packing some seriously
lame heat for the job. Bugs blocks some of the shots on his sword, but knocks
them back so they actually hit Sam, but don’t do anything to him. Oh yeah, and
Sam announces himself with his full name now, but can never pronounces the “Ophiuchus”
part for the rest of the episode. Out of all the classic lines and gags the
franchise had to offer, that’s what they went with. Liking the show better yet?</span></div>

wise-cracking airbiker pulls up alongside the train as well, introduces himself
as Deuce, and saves Bugs from one of those ineffectual laser blasts by throwing
an armored frisbee inbetween it and Bugs. Only to notice the train’s headed
into another wormhole as we cut to the theme song.</span></div>

resolution to that nail-biting cliffhanger we were on? Deuce lets Bugs jump on
his bike, and Sam gets scraped off the top of the train as it disappears into
the wormhole. They land back in the park, Deuce commenting they make a pretty
good team. Because Deuce threw a shield and blocked one shot.</span></div>

admires Bugs’s sword. “It was given to me when I got into the action hero
business.” Which is why in the first season he had a sword he hardly ever used,
which looked nothing like this one, and did none of the tricks this one does. Not
even having a blade that pops out of the hilt, which he at least knows about
already. And who gave it to him? Zadavia?</span></div>

this is where I believe we start hearing the show call the main characters

don’t you think somebody like Bruce Willis over the X-Men when you hear “action

Deuce can touch Bugs’s sword, Zadavia’s hologram pops up from a fountain. What’s
she popping in for? Bugs tries to introduce her to Deuce, but she’s
surprised—unpleasantly—because she already knows him. He asks for a chance to
bury their differences, but Big Z refuses and tells him in no uncertain terms
to get off Acmetropolis.</span></div>

at HQ Bugs asks Zadavia why she brushed Deuce off like that, but I can only
assume she’s purposefully ignoring him because she explains about the train
instead. It’s the “royal intergalactic quasar train,” and it was the last ship
to leave during “the fall of Freleng.” I assume she means when Optimatus was
taking over. I assume.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
train was laden with cargo “that could make a man king.” It was rumored to,
anyway. Wasn’t she the ruler of Freleng, or something? Wouldn’t she know about
that? Anyway it got shot and launched automatically, and was thought lost…until
today. She doesn’t think it’s a coincidence Deuce showed up at the same time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“It’s
also possible that he’s changed,” Bugs points out. Changed? Changed from what??
Zadavia didn’t mention Deuce once in that “explanation” of hers. Zadavia
refuses both to take the chance or explain herself. She doesn’t actually refuse
to explain herself, but she still doesn’t and you kinda wonder why. Wouldn’t
her agents work better if they knew why not to trust this apparently
friendly/helpful guy? Maybe if the show bothered to explain what she is to the
Loonatics, her constant refusal to tell her operatives anything like this would
make a little more sense. Did she get the team together? Does she provide their
facilities? Did she become some kind of law enforcement figure on Acmetropolis?
Guess I’m the only one who remembers all her BS <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">just</b> from “Acmegeddon”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It
might be one thing if Bugs brought up the fact that Zadavia’s track record is
hardly spotless as his reason for ignoring her orders. He just goes over her
head because Deuce made a good first impression on him, even though he’s never
once thought to contradict the all-knowing Zadavia before.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
we’ve got to cover the plot sometime, and Lexi interrupts that they have no way
of finding when the train’s going to appear next. And really, if it’s been
zipping around the universe through wormholes all these years, why should it
reappear next anywhere near Acmetropolis other than because there’d be no plot if it didn’t? Ignoring my stupid question, the answer to an arcane problem like how to detect when the train will reappear next is, as always, solved by
Wile E. whipping up a handy gadget.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
tells Wile E. and Lexi to stay there so <s>the animators have fewer people to
keep track of</s> to monitor the situation while the rest of them go to stop
the train. Deuce shows up and asks to come along. Bugs is up for it but Daffy
doesn’t want to hear his sob story about wanting to regain Zadavia’s trust. I
know he’s supposed to be a jerk, and he is, but whether they meant to or not
they usually end up portraying Daffy as the Loonatic with the most practical
smarts and, yes, competence. Some of that’s dumb luck, but he's still got a better track record than the show would have you believe from the way it treats him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
there’s really only two ways they could’ve gone with Deuce: he was trustworthy, or he wasn't trustworthy. Guess what? Daffy’s
call was the right one.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
decides to let Deuce come with them. “Everyone deserves a second chance.” And
the show continues to infuriate me with how it assumes I’m telepathically
linked with the writers, because he adds Daffy should know that better than
anyone. Why’s that, jerk? Daffy was a pool boy before he got his powers, not a
villain. And if you’ll recall, his greed to get his powers back enabled him to
already be in Optimatus’s command center and stall him long enough for the rest
of the team to get there. Meaning he more than anybody’s responsible for Acmetropolis
not being shunted to the ass-end of space…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">And
Bugs is going over the head of the great and wise Zadavia on this because he
believes in second chances. That’s nice, but don’t you think you should have
some idea what you’re forgiving? No? Really? For all Bugs knows this guy ate
kittens and burned down orphanages. Or whatever the closest thing is in a show
this lame.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

As they make their way to the train there's a stock shot of the Loonatics zooming between the buildings on their airbikes. Except none of them have canopies, none are color-coded, and if you look closely two of them <i>are being flown by Lexi and Wile E., who are back at HQ</i>.<br />

to Wile E.’s plot device they do indeed find the train quickly, but have to
find a way to shut it down before it disappears into another wormhole. Bugs
orders Daffy and Taz to search the cars while he and Roadrunner head to the
engine? Um, check the cars for what?? Your objective’s to find a way to stop
the train, are you thinking it’s going to be back there somewhere and not on
the engine car? And what are you having Deuce do, since you’re so eager to
accept his help?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Since
Deuce wasn’t given an assignment despite being on a mission with a hero team,
we get to waste some runtime having him show up and save Daffy and Taz from
Sam, then show up on the roof to help Roadrunner and Bugs fight off Sam again
to gain everybody’s trust.</span></div>

was no point to either of those scenes besides killing some runtime, though,
because next thing we see is Deuce and Sam entering the car Daffy and Taz are
searching. SHOCK! It turns out they’re in cahoots! It’s all just a trick to get
Bugs’s confidence so they can steal his sword! And they’re not very smart about
keeping their partnership secret from the superhero team! Deuce throws his
little shield, misses the two eavesdroppers, but it bounced off a bunch of luggage
compartments which open and bury Daffy and Taz. Realizing they’re out of time,
everybody but Daffy and Taz (Daffy can’t teleport out and Taz can’t just stand
up? He’s the strong guy, after all) jump off the train with Deuce slamming Sam
into a dumpster to hide his duplicity.</span></div>

see the train flying through space. I could get the nebulae that look like a
sea shell, banana, fish, orange, and ice cream cone for comedy’s sake, but why
are there ones shaped (and in the first one’s case, colored) like Marvin, Elmer
Fudd and Tweety? It's hard to think of that just being for comedy's sake when all of them will show up as actual characters a few episodes down the line. Daffy and Taz look for food but only find some old machine parts, which
Taz doesn’t hesitate to chow down since after all Tasmanian devils eat anything
but especially rabbits.</span></div>

and Deuce follow Wile E.’s gadget to a parking lot where the train’s supposed
to appear next. Sam ambushes them, and after repeated shots Deuce’s shield is
destroyed, leading him to plead with Bugs to toss over his magic sword. Bugs
hesitates at first (Is he thinking he may have made the wrong call, or just
hesitating to let someone else play with his favorite toy?), but another
near-miss shot prompts him to do as Deuce says. As soon as he has it, Deuce
reveals his true colors.</span></div>

runs to the attack, but Deuce proves to know how to use the sword’s powers
already and knocks Bugs back with an energy blast from it, destroying the
homing gadget in the process. The train conveniently shows up then, clobbering
Sam. Daffy and Taz jump out and warn Bugs not to let Deuce have the sword. And
don’t give him that look like the news is too late, Bugs. He was right and you
were wrong the first time, jerk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Man,
Bugs is really sucking as team leader in these first two episodes! At least
most of the time he’s just bland and not making a ton of bad calls, even if he
doesn’t really make that many good ones either.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Back
at HQ, Bugs is all apologetic for not listening to Zadavia before, but she’s
rightly apologetic herself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“It’s
not entirely your fault, [Bugs]. I should’ve told you the entire story.” Yes,
you bloody should’ve. And the only reason you didn’t was the writers needed
Bugs to make that slip-up, and he couldn’t if you’d acted like a hero team
leader and given Bugs a good reason not to trust Deuce. In fact, she not only
should’ve told them about Deuce before, based on what she does tell them, she probably could’ve had the
Loonatics arrest him as a war criminal. Seriously Zadavia, you suck at your job
something fierce.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally
she does explain herself. Back on Freleng, Deuce was one of her “most powerful
generals,” but when she refused to “place all of Freleng under his command” and
pulled a medal off his jacket, he left. When Optimatus made his coup, Deuce and
his army were nowhere to be found. Well, what did you expect? After all, you’re
so sure “Deuce was only interested in glory for himself,” and “determined to
lead the greatest army ever assembled.” Why would he have a change of heart and
come back for your sorry rainbow behind?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Wonder
how Zadavia would’ve had the authority to “place all of Freleng under his
command” anyway, since as she notes this was before Optimatus launched his
hostile takeover. He’s even there in the flashback, prior to having his face
melted off. But my point being that in the flashback in “Acmegeddon,” we saw
there was some kind of council that had the power to veto her or Optimatus’s
dictates. Unless he was asking her to help him overthrow them, which is
entirely possible with the sketch of the character we’re getting. But if he’s
so “only interested in glory for himself,” why not just get his army together
and do it himself? I dunno, you’d think somebody who managed to climb to the
rank of general, and so quickly as to still be young enough to be a virile kung-fu badass with fabulous hair on top of that, would know about cutting unnecessary steps out of a battle
plan.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">By
the way, as you've probably noticed the flashbacks we’ve seen this episode have been in sepia tone. I
could accept that’s just for illustration purposes, except for how these have
actually been historical videos Zadavia booted up to show the Loonatics what she's talking about.
Meaning Freleng had fleets of ridiculously outré spacecraft, robotic armies, magic
swords and something about their rulers that made them able to shoot rainbow
beams, but not color film. Horse pucky!</span></div>

Z finally finds out what Deuce was after on the train after Daffy explains they
didn’t find anything but a bunch of old robot parts. Deuce’s soldiers were
robots and they were on the train! Well of course they are! How are the heroes
supposed to get away with actually hurting the bad guys if the bad guys aren’t
mass-produced automata??</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Zadavia
explains the original owner of Bugs’s Guardian Strike Sword, as it’s called,
was one of the greatest warriors of Freleng. “It holds powers you cannot
imagine.” Which is probably bull because if nobody could imagine them, they
couldn’t write them into a script. But this begs the question, was Zadavia the
one who gave Bugs the sword? Probably, but then why did she never mention that
before?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
actually asks that too. “Great power used too soon can create as much harm as
good,” Zadavia explains. Translation: we didn’t think of Bugs having a special
sword until this season and we need to have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">some</b> reason why he never used its powers before now. She promises
“It will come to you when you’re ready.”</span></div>

asks how they’re supposed to find the train again without Wile E.’s tracker. Is
there any reason he can’t just replace it? He whips up these gadgets like
popcorn, and he already made one in no time that he knows works, so he should be able to make another even faster and maybe better.</span></div>

could believe that question coming from a show like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</i>, where Donatello whips up all kinds of
fancy gizmos, but they live in the sewer and he has to work with whatever
cast-off parts he can find. Replacing stuff’s a believably painful process for
them.</span></div>

this show? Nuh-uh. The Loonatics live in a high-tech future and are a full-on
public superhero team with a Hall of Justice-esque headquarters and endless
fleet of pimped-out vehicles. Wile E. said nothing to the effect that he can
only make one because it took the last of his supply of zerblarfium. Why was that
the one and only homing device they’ll ever have?</span></div>

they can’t, for the sake of some original <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Looney
Tunes</i>-style “comedy”. They captured Sam, you see, and figure that Deuce
knew where the train would show up and thus his accomplice must know that too.
They try to let Sam go so they can follow him, but he’s an idiot and needs some
help from the Loonatics themselves.</span></div>

does lead the Loonatics to Deuce just as the train appears yet again, but
rather than get this episode over with quickly and cleanly by disarming Deuce
with a blast of laser vision before Sam knows he’s been followed Bugs loudly
announces their presence and attacks. Deuce holds them off for a second with
the sword’s powers but then climbs up to the train because that’s his real
goal, not winning a fight with the Banana Splits. Sam follows, but Deuce
doesn’t feel like sharing the universe and kicks him off the train. Say bye to

hops on his speeder bike to give chase as the train vanishes, since it was his

tries to attack Deuce’s ego by saying he doesn't see why such a great warrior
would need to hide behind a magic sword. To this miserable show’s credit, Deuce
doesn’t fall for it and keeps blasting Bugs with the sword. It still shoots
itself in the foot by having Bugs gain the upper hand by overwhelming the
sword’s energy blast with his laser vision and knocking the sword away, where
it floats in midair (but keeps pace with the train). Nice legendary sword
there. And nice hypocritical hero, because Bugs jump-kicks Deuce from behind

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With
Deuce seen off for the moment, Bugs tries to recover the sword. It floats to
Bugs’s hand and Zadavia’s voice reminds him the sword’s power would come to him
when he was ready, and I guess he just proved himself worthy now. Even though you
have to look for the indicators that this was meant to be the kind of battle
where a guy proves he’s not just a main character but an actual <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">hero</b> and worthy of the magical
doohickey. I <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">think </b>those
indicators were Zadavia pointing out that the sword’s previous owner was one of
the “guardians” of Freleng and thus making it a Legendary Item, and Bugs saying
he let Deuce steal the sword so he had to be the one to make things right. But
like I said, you have to look for them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But
honestly, Bugs’s worthiness of the sword probably got short shrift because of
everything else they had cram into this episode. The sword’s background, Deuce and
his part in Zadavia’s history, Deuce’s robot army…and they couldn’t really
skimp on any of that because like it or not, Deuce is gonna turn out to be our
big bad guy of the season.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m
starting to notice how this show’s at its worst when it’s trying to develop the
main plot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Also, probably what was meant to be the biggest indicator that Bugs had earned the right to wield the sword is the contrast between him and Deuce, a lying, backstabbing snake in the grass (who'll show himself to be, if anything, even more of one when he shows up again). Again, though, look at that picture above of Bugs taking advantage of his enemy's distraction to attack from behind. What, is the fact that Deuce did it first make it okay, or doesn't this kind of show usually equate that with sinking to the bad guy's level?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What basis do we have for Bugs proving that he's such a great guy and better than Deuce? Uh, he leads a superhero team. And by that I mean he leads them in battle. That's nice and all, but I'm honestly not if he does it because he genuinely wants to do good or if he's in it for the rush. He worked as a stuntman before, I almost want to say the latter. In the numerous iterations of <i>X-Men</i> the people are on the team because they usually agree with Professor X's vision of a world without distrust toward his kind. In <i>Justice League</i> we saw the heroes get together and could get a sense that they were doing what they did because someone had to and they were better equipped than most. Thanks to the show's having much better things to do than show us how and why the Loonatics were formed, they're just sort of <b>there</b>.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b><span id="bc_0_93b+seedI-3sD" kind="d"></span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Practically never do we see Bugs having to make a moral choice or having to prove his sincerity to someone. In this episode we have him deciding to trust Deuce over Zadavia's orders not to, but he proves to be wrong about that, and Zadavia had no good reason not to explain herself in the first place. It only happened because the plot needed it to happen. You know how this plot could've worked better? If Zadavia <b>did</b> explain herself, but Deuce was given a chance or two to seem sincere and Bugs gave him another chance because being charitable and believing in positive change are heroic virtues. Without Bugs knowing what he's forgiving or what he's countermanding the all-knowing Zadavia for when he's never had the urge to be insubordinate before, it comes off as forced and kinda confusing.</span><br />

chops through the coupling, sending Deuce and the engine speeding into the
wormhole to parts unknown. This makes the rest of the train lose power and
crash, but nobody seems to care. Back at the base Zadavia praises Bugs for not
only recovering his sword (and hopefully learning not to be such an idiot) but
proving himself a true warrior. Yeah, whatever, lady.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bugs
asks Zadavia when she’s going to tell him what all the sword can do, but she
begs off. “In time. Too much knowledge can be a dangerous thing.” If I’m
hearing this right, then the title of the episode is just bringing it to your
attention that Bugs’s sword <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">has</i>
secrets, and we <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">might</i> be finding out
what they are later on.</span></div>

protests that too <i>little</i> knowledge is dangerous too, then a laser shoots
out of the sword to zap him like punishment for his usual sin of speaking out
against the group. Rather than proving Zadavia’s a dumbass bint, the others
Loonatics are a-holes for laughing at the fact that Bugs’s control over his
magic sword’s so poor he just fried a non-baddie by accident, and Daffy’s
completely right.</span></div>
