Checking Loonatics Unleashed Season 1 Episode 7

So, in this episode a shady circus transform people into weird beasts, having transformed Zadavia into a monkey-lizard. In this form, she went to alert the Loonatics and this is Duck's reaction at seeing the weird monkey:

Just like Daffy, Duck has a sense of survival that could make him seem like a coward but it's crashed down because in this universe he's a superhero AND he has Ace watching him. Like, literally, one glance at Ace and he gets like this:

Sense of survival forgotten, he attacks the monkey (Zadavia) with no mercy.

One thing I love about Duck is that he works with his instincts. Most of the time Ace doesn't need to tell him what to do (unlike the rest of the group) and Duck ends up being helpful by his own. Ace learned to trust him.

Buuut, there are moments like this one that make me wonder if Ace doesn't just let him do what he wants because he's still on the uncontrollable phase of trying to impress him (and he secretly likes it). Most of the time it's like he doesn't care if Duck fucks up because... I don't know, he's his favorite . Like here he was just like:

Duck: *tries to kill the thing*

Ace: *softly and without moving a finger* Duck, wait

Duck: *kills the thing that could be important*

Ace: *tired sigh* anyway...

Here, people may argue that Duck was being a show off in general (as if acting like a hero after looking at Ace wasn't obvious enough) and that he just wants the glory, but his body language says otherwise.

He puts himself between Ace and the monkey and tries to grab it. He IS protecting Ace, and you won't see him doing that with anyone else. Also, Ace still not moving one single finger because he's secretly enjoying it, I know what I'm talking about, I am a prideful girl.

Zadavia dodges Ducks and jumps in Ace's arms. Duck is "eew, don't touch it!" and you can say he's disgusted for himself, but actually he's carrying the animal in the next scene. So no, he's disgusted because it is touching Ace.

Since Ace can barelly tell him what to do, I dare say it was Duck's idea to carry the monkey himself. Why?? IDK, to make sure it stays away from Ace. Because that's what a man does. For his babe.

After that, they go to the circus and get captured by the showman and transformed into mixed animals, mixing their powers too.

LOL

It was interesting to see how Ace and Duck's powers work, and how they have to be regulated by levels of intensity.

In this scene, Ace tries Duck's powers (LOL he was really happy with it) but the impact is really weak and it does nothing to the enemy. It implies that it needs more intensity and aggressiveness to work well.

Ace's powers, on the other side, need more calmness and precision. In this scene, Duck shoots Rev by accident and he literally turns him into dust. It doesn't suit well with Duck's mental force. After that he loses control of it and almost hit others.

Another detail I liked was Duck's power of teleportation.

Seeing how it worked for Ace, it seems that this powers has something to do with the mental image or the mental focus the user has.

First, he teleported on the rhino, that could mean he thought something like "I need to stop the rhino" and his power understood he wanted to teleport on it. The same happens with the showman, since he's currently the main enemy, Ace could have thought "I need to stop that man" and he teleported on top of said man.

So it's funny that the next place he teleports is Duck's arms.

Not next to him or on top of him like the other cases. But in his arms.

I get that his mind may have focused on Duck because he was getting frustrated by Duck's powers but I really wonder why he didn't appear on top of his head instead of getting himself to be carried like a princess (which Duck instinctively did, by the way, he held him).

Anyway, they solved it all at the end, as always. Although, the thing with the victims was awful? I mean, they were kids froms around the universe and who knows how long have passed since they were kidnapped and used as circus animals. Man, that was terrible and it passed as another normal mission here.

Anyway, they 'solved' it, arrested the villains (should have killed them tbh) and Zadavia was giving her congrats. The End.

Oh, and extra scene with this two.

Normally Ace doesn't look to trouble Duck so directly, but I guess he really doesn't like Duck's "crush" on Zadavia and would rather see her stepping on Duck's head before giving him any attention or special treatment.

I mean, Duck saying he's Zadavia's favorite? Hell no.

One thing I love about Duck and Ace is how protective they are of each other.

And this is just Episode 3 Season 1

First Duck says that he’s not going to use technology anymore, and while Lexi talks about phones and music, Ace asks about weapons in a disapproving way, as if “you’re going to get hurt without it”

Then, everyone is deactivating explosive missiles and Ace lost sight of Duck

(he looks so cute looking for him!😆 )

And he could have told Lexi to go and help him (since he was driving the ship) but instead he told her to drive and went himself

After that, they had to fight robots in the dark, Duck almost hit him by accident and felt so sorry about it 😭

He almost hit his princess 😭 (Duck wouldn’t apologize to any other member of his group, I am 100% sure of that)

Next, a building was falling on them, Duck used his teleportation but Ace didn’t see it so he was really worried

And of course (and this is something that I see a lot in the series) there is Duck instictively jumping in front of Ace to protect him

Love them ❤
