Favorite member of the gang?

That is nearly impossible for me to answer. If I really had to, I’d say Shaggy because my boyfriend reminds me so much of him.

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

I officially finished Be Cool Scooby Doo.

Oh my god.

I tried to avoid spoilers, and I don’t think I got all of my thoughts down because I couldn’t be bothered to take notes this time. Skip to the bottom for a quick breakdown, sorry this is so long

Shaggy:

ACTUALLY SMART! ACTUALLY SOLVES MYSTERIES! There is an episode in What’s New Scooby Doo where Shaggy and Velma have to “switch places” because she’s scared of clowns, and Shaggy tries to solve the mystery and fails. There are at least three episodes where Shaggy shows that he’s both smart and enjoys mysteries. It makes you feel like he really does want to be there. There’s even an episode where he tries to leave because one of Fred’s traps fails and the monster beats the shit out of Shaggy, but he comes back because he loves his friends.

He’s also the only member of the gang who doesn’t have some sort of parental issues in this one.

Scooby:

They explore his “dogness” quite a bit in this, but it’s done in a way that leaves you with more questions-

He doesn’t know how to interact with dogs, he spends an episode angry at Shaggy for calling him “his dog”, Daphne tries to get him in somewhere using a fake service dog vest, and he crossdresses a lot. He and Shaggy spend a lot of time pointing out and poking fun at the formula of the show (and every single iteration of Scooby Doo), but it doesn’t feel like the creators hate Scooby Doo, and they still follow the formula. They just point out that it’s there.

Velma:

She has more of a personality than just “uptight nerd”, which I love. She’s scared of the ocean and clowns, she loves video games but hates how she can become absorbed by them, she has dilemmas and chooses her friends over success and money every time. She loves renaissance fairs but wishes they were more accurate, SO SHE MAKES ONE ENTIRELY ACCURATE. I love her so much.

Daphne:

SHE’S NOT USELESS!! The whole show seems to be trying to prove otherwise, actually. They make her really eccentric, which can be annoying, especially in the beginning, but as it goes on the writers seem to figure her out a bit more. Regardless, she proves her usefulness in every episode, constantly fighting the damsel in distress accusations.

And she has mommy issues, OH MY GOD does she have mommy issues. And they’re relatable as hell. Her mom is crazy, probably where she gets some of her crazy from, but her mom is also just very strict and so many crazy rules. And it’s dealt with pretty well for being a recurring joke, I feel that the way she feels about her mom is pretty accurate for her age and everything.

FRED:

Oh my god, I actually loved Fred in this. He’s never been my favorite character, but this show makes it so genuinely hard to choose a favorite. He is obsessed with mysteries, and you keep thinking you know why as you get glimpses into his childhood, but the real reason is fucking great. I have a feeling people probably didn’t like the Professor Huh storyline, but I LOVED IT. He’s also kind of crazy, just in a more quiet and realistic way than Daphne, because he’s obsessive and everything is about mysteries. He needs therapy for sure, but oh my god I loved him in this. He really does care so much. I want to talk about Professor Huh, but if you haven’t seen the show, you need to watch it for yourself.

He also has insane parental issues, but you don’t really get to hear about his parents at all until like the end, whereas you never meet Daphne’s mom, you just hear about her. He also has a lot of issues regarding other stuff in his childhood. The man just needs therapy-

My thoughts:

Watch it watch it watch it watch it. The art style put me off for a really long time, but it’s actually really good. I’m rewatching it as I type this. I’m off to write fanfiction, go watch it.

TLDR:

Daphne is weird and funny and has mommy issues, also she’s actually friends with everyone and you can tell. Shaggy is smart and likes mysteries, he’s just scared. Scooby even has a fleshed out personality. Fred needs therapy, loves his friends and has an almost unhealthy obsession with mysteries. Velma has likes and dislikes, fears, and proves again and again how much she loves her friends. They love each other!!! They’re best friends!!! It’s awesome!!!

I want to make Scooby doo video game. Each level would be a different Scooby doo adventure, some being takes on classic Scooby doo episodes, some being original to the game, and of course chock full of Easter eggs and references. You would be playing a side character that’s helping the gang out. I would make millions because the Hex Girls would be romanceable. You would also have the option to save Scrappy Doo from the final boss or let him die.

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

I will say though, they do make Shaggy the butt of the joke a lot more and treat him a lot worse. He’s constantly finding clues that disappear somehow, and then the rest of the group is like “haha imagine shaggy being useful LOL”. And they’re just so mean to him.

In the original show, you get the feel that they’re acquaintances doing a class project together, not friends who love each other.

I love Scooby Doo adaptations giving the characters chemistry

Because I love the og 1969 show to peices

But damn none of them had any chemistry in the og show

I love it when the newer adaptations don't ignore canon

I could write AN ENTIRE ESSAY about how I'd write Scooby Doo differently

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

The implication of Shaggy’s ability to beat up the biker gang in Legend of the Phantosaur implies the he can always do that. The only thing stopping him is his fear.

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

Every time someone likes this post, I get closer to snapping and just buying it

Just found something I would absolutely kill for

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

I have become Scrappy Doo. I’m reading David and Goliath for a class and my first reaction to Goliath’s description was “give me a sword and let me at him”

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

AGREED. Give Daphne Blake a gun. She’s the only one in the gang who could have and use one, and she deserves it.

(Also I love your art style)

My give Daphne Blake a gun agenda

I started a Scooby Doo build in Minecraft, let’s pray to the ADHD gods that I’m allowed to finish it

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

Fred Jones writes fanfiction.

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

I hate the inflation gag that Shaggy and Scooby do. I hate it so much.

There’s no reason for them to be able to do that. It makes no sense and sometimes Scooby makes a terrible sound when he does it. He doesn’t need to become a balloon. Why. Why do they do this.

[scoobydoowhatareyou]

He’s a long haired stoner with anxiety and three dogs. I’m a college student who reads science textbooks for fun and loooovves mysteries.

I don’t ship Velma and Shaggy, but I just found a guy that is 100% the Shaggy to my Velma and I have the urge to do that for a Halloween costume
