I actually like most of the Scooby "clones" just as much as Scooby Doo, and I feel like most of them get unfairly judged just because of the similarities to Scooby. I ADORE Speed Buggy, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kids, Goober And The Ghost Chasers, and Jabberjaw and I wish they had more crossovers with Scooby Doo, especially if said crossovers were written by people who respect the source material. The Weird Winds Of Wionna, while a old 1970s episode, is one of my favorite Scooby crossovers because of the interactions between the Speed Buggs and the Scooby Gang. TBH, I ship Mark/Fred, Debbie/Daphne, and Tinker/Shaggy because of it.

Some edits of the New Scooby Doo Movies "guest starring" screens with the Mystery Teen shows Scooby didn't crossover with in it.

For simplicity sake I used only the shows' title characters for the edits (minus the Clue Club edit since the show doesn't have an individual title character like the others do).

My favorite yet oddly specific thing about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kids is this group of background characters looks like knock-off versions of the main characters

Stefanie, Walton, Bruce, and Meriol

Cartoon Idea: Scooby-Doo: Mystic Mayhem

This is an idea I've had for a few years now. I've seen a lot of people do their own takes on Scooby-Doo. And since I've been a massive fan of the franchise since I was a little kid, I figured it was my time to finally give my take on this classic franchise.

As you could tell by the title of this post, the name for this series would be called....

Scooby-Doo: Mystic Mayhem!

In this new iteration of the Scooby-Doo franchise, the Mystery Inc. Gang now work for a secret organization known as "Special Covert Organization of Otherworldly Beings", or S.C.O.OB. for short, founded by the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt.

The organization specializes in dealing with supernatural phenomenons from all over the world.

Yep! In this series, the monsters are gonna be real!

I know that this isn't a new thing, there have been plenty of Scooby-Doo media where the supernatural threats are actually real and not some phony in a mask. But this would be the first series that would actually put much greater emphasis on the supernatural being real.

The series will also have a much greater emphasis on action, since the Mystery Gang will all have powers!

Yep, we're going Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on this bitch!

I mean, it shouldn't that surprising though since this show also has a much greater focus on mystical elements than most of its previous iterations.

Perhaps the most important thing to note for this series is the cast. This series will have a pretty huge main cast since this series will be one big Hanna-Barbera crossover.

Of course we already have the Mystery Inc Gang, plus Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, but the rest of S.C.O.O.B. consists of The Neptunes (from Jabberjaw), The Funky Phantom Crew, The Teen Angels (from Captain Caveman), The Speed Buggs (from Speed Buggy), The Sundance Kids (from Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kids), The Ghost Chasers (from Goober and the Ghost Chasers), The Club Club, Penelope Pitstop (from Wacky Races), and The Quest Family (from Jonny Quest).

Not only would it be interesting to have such a big main cast of characters (especially in regards to lesser-known characters) but it would have a lot of potential for interesting dynamics and relationships.

Essentially every episode will focus on a different group of the teenage mystery solvers, though one thing would remain consistent among each group is that Scooby and Shaggy are a part of it.

Mr. Socrates would be an android, instead of a computer like in the original Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kids. That way, he could travel with the group if needed.

Vincent Van Ghoul will be the team’s mysterious mentor, and he’ll help them out in a pinch.

Dr. Benton C. Quest and Race Bannon will be the gadgeteer geniuses that will usually create different kinds of gadgets that will help the teens on their missions.

Also the duo will be a gay married couple because....well, you can't tell me that none of you guys ever thought these weren't together.

Scrappy-Doo will also be featured in the series as major character. If Dragon Ball Super: Broly has taught us anything, it's that a bad character can be rewritten in something much better through the right lenses. And besides, I think we all owe Scrappy an apology, especially after the existence of the show that shall not be named, which made everyone collectively realize.

"Perhaps we treated him too harshly....."

The series will also feature some various new and unique romantic relationships between the teenage mystery solvers.

The ones that involve the Mystery Inc Gang would include Fred/Tinker, Daphne/Gilly, Velma/April, and Shaggy/Dee Dee.

As for the Mystery Inc Gang themselves, let's talk about them real quick and what they can do.

The gang have been lifelong best friends, who have been solving mysteries together since they were little kids.

Their personalities are also the same as before.

Fred is the strategic, lovable himbo leader.

Daphne is the fashionable, crafty and enthusiastic muscle.

Velma is the cute and friendly, but somewhat snarky brains.

Shaggy is the cowardly and laid-back slacker jack-of-all-trades.

And Scooby is still a good boy and the heart of the team.

As for their powers and abilities....

Fred is the strategic mastermind and possesses the power of magnetism.

Daphne is skilled in marital arts and possesses superhuman physicality. She also has energy projection, which she can use to enhance the power of her attacks.

Velma possesses the ability to pinpoint the weak spot of a foe and potential probability advantages and fights using a laser gun.

Shaggy possesses superhuman speed, agility, reflexes and a special sixth sense that allows him to detect danger.

And Scooby can shape-shift into anything he can think of.

Granted, I haven't thought of the origins of their powers yet, but I wanted the powers to reflect something about each members.

Fred's magnetism to reflect his expertise in traps.

Daphne's superhuman physicality and energy projection to reflect her role as a physical fighter.

Velma's pinpointing to reflect her clue finding expertise.

Shaggy's superhuman speed to reflect his role as a school athlete (plus his God-like nature).

And Scooby's shape-shifting to reflect his usual shtick of using various disguises.

As for their voice actors, they will all be reprised by all their long-standing voice actors.

Frank Welker as Fred, Grey Griffin as Daphne, Kate Micucci as Velma, and Matthew Lillard as Shaggy.

The only exception would be Scooby, who would be voiced by previous voice actor Scott Innes, who will be pulling double duty as the returning voice of Scrappy as well.

Before we wrap this up, I do want briefly bring up the world-building.

Mystic Mayhem will essentially be like a spiritual successor to DuckTales (2017), taking elements from various iterations of the Scooby-Doo franchise and bringing them into this universe.

Many of the monsters and supernatural threats will be pulled from previous iterations.

From the cartoons, the comics, the video games, and the movie.

They'll also be plenty of characters pulled from previous iterations as well.

The Hex Girls, Scooby-Dum, Sheriff Stone, Dr. Phineus Phibes, Ben Ravencroft, Crystal and Amber, the parents of the Gang from both A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and Mystery Incorporated, and of course.....

As for the world of this series, it'll be a retro-futuristic version of our own.

Basically imagine the future from Futurama and you've basically got the world of Mystic Mayhem.

This is not only because the cast of Jabberjaw are gonna be featured, and in the original series, they do come from the year 2076, but it's also because this will feature the appearances of various Hanna-Barbera characters, who all exist in this world together.

These would include the likes of The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, Augie and Doggie Daddy, Top Cat, Quick Draw McGraw, Wally Gator, Snooper and Blabber, Secret Squirrel, Tom and Jerry, Jeannie and Babu, Space Ghost, Shazzan, Frankenstein Jr., Mightor, The Banana Splits, Birdman, Hong Kong Phooey, and as Lord Farquaad would say....

"And so on and so forth...."

They'll also be appears from various DC characters like Batman (obviously) and The Teen Titans.

Cartoon Network will even get into the mix with appearances from Dexter, Cow and Chicken, The Powerpuff Girls, The Eds, Billy and Mandy, Ben Tennyson, and of course....

Well that's all for now!

I was heavily inspired to do this post by this one right here:

I'm definitely planning on covering the other mystery-solving teens.

I hoped you guys liked it and if you have any ideas for this series, just let me know!

Katherine Ross 🤍

the actress from such films like the graduate, the stepford wives, and butch cassidy and the sundance kids!

[scoobydoo-confessions]

I'd love to see the Scooby Gang meet the Speed Buggy crew again, provided the crossover has continuity and is written by people who respect Scooby history. Similarly, I would love to see Alex Super return. I like to head canon that Alex Super is Butch Cassidy [from the Scooby "clone" of the same name]'s half-brother and Ace Decade from the episode "Diabolical Disk Demon" is their biological dad.
