I look at storyboards for “Scoob”

I have not seen “Scoob”. Everything that I’ve seen and heard about the movie has made me never, ever, ever, ever, ever want to watch it. However, I have seen some storyboards for the film’s deleted scenes, all of them posted on the website of Nassos Vakalis. Looking at these, I’ve made a lot of interesting observations. Hence, this post.

First off, we have this storyboard for an early version of the movie that began with the gang solving a mystery at an amusement park. Nothing much to say about this one, except that Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck make cameos. That’s kind of neat.

This storyboard has Fred and Daphne investigating Dick Dastardly’s hideout while the sexy Latina claiming to be Velma waits in the Mystery Machine. In the storyboards, Velma looks like a cross between Edna Mode and Colette from Ratatouille.

Ya know how the movie has Blue Falcon dabbing and Velma saying “toxic masculinity”? Well...

“It’s very woke of you.”

Yeaaaaaah...

Okay, so this set of storyboards has Shaggy, Scooby, Blue Falcon’s idiot son, Dee Dee, and Dynomutt In Name Only meeting Jabberjaw. This is the summary of the storyboard that the site provides:

I’m sorry, but... “HER”? The filmmakers were under the impression that Jabberjaw was a girl? What?!

Next one... here’s an early version of the scene where Shaggy and Scooby meet Blue Falcon’s son and Dynomutt In Name Only. One thing I couldn’t help but notice is that Blue Falcon’s son actually acts much more like a professional superhero a la the original Blue Falcon in these storyboards...

My guess is that originally, they were going to have the actual Blue Falcon - the one from the cartoon - in the movie. But then somebody said, “Hey, we’ve turned Dynomutt into a stiff no-nonsense character absolutely nothing like the original Dynomutt, why don’t we replace the Blue Falcon with his idiot son so he’ll have a character to play off of and we can get some joke material out of that?”

And then there’s this set of storyboards, which fully convinces me that the producers didn’t give a crap about actually making these non-Scooby-Doo characters anything like their original incarnations. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t watch any of the original cartoons at all before making this film. Why do I say that? Well, let’s get started...

That’s what they were gonna have Dastardly look like? What?

Why is Muttley talking? They were gonna have Muttley talk? What?! Why?

Oh, wait, I know why. It was so they could shoehorn in another miscast flavor-of-the-month celebrity as his voice in the hopes that they would sell more tickets. In fact, I’m amazed that they decided to change it.

That’s what they were originally going to have Captain Caveman look like. Why does he look less like Captain Caveman and more like one of the vikings from How to Train Your Dragon? I have no idea.

Get a load of this dialogue, by the way...

“Before your mouth writes a check your butt can’t cash”? What does that even mean?

Is... is that supposed to be Penelope Pitstop? What?

Well, that’s not offensive at all, is it?

Is this supposed to imply that Dastardly is married? Who the heck would marry Dick Dastardly?

Predictably, Grape Ape doesn’t look anything like the original either. Just like a generic gorilla. I’m amazed they don’t have him talk normally like they have Captain Caveman and Muttley doing.

I will say this, though - if they were planning on casting a celebrity as him, Brad Garrett would’ve been perfect. That should totally happen at some point.

More “yep, this was made in the 2010s” dialogue.

And here’s Atom Ant. Like everyone else, he looks nothing like the original. I can’t even tell if he’s still supposed to be an ant or if he’s now a human in an Ant-Man-esque suit. Either way, they clearly redesigned him like this to cash-in on the success of Ant-Man. Also, this is a very small (no pun intended) thing, but the summary of this storyboard refers to him as “Atomic Ant”.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering who the stereotypical Asian man and brawny woman with Dastardly are... well, apparently their names are Klunk and Zilly.

Klunk and Zilly... why do those names sound familiar? Oh, yeah! They’re the names of Dastardly’s dimwitted henchmen from Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines!

So that’s two more characters that are nothing like the original versions!

Oh yeah, and there’s a gag where new brawny woman Zilly gets tied up and Blue Falcon does this:

Ugh. Is this Blue Falcon on DeviantArt?

The really weird thing about all this is that there’s also this storyboard for an early version of the opening scene where Dastardly and Penelope look more like themselves.

Heck, concept art exists online of the characters actually looking more like themselves! Why did the filmmakers ping-pong back and forth as to whether or not the characters should look like their original selves or not? Why is Jabberjaw a girl? Why are all of these characters even working with the Blue Falcon?
