#sword and the scoob spoilers

[scrappedtogether]

Thoughts on Sword and the Scoob:

***Spoilers under the cut***

The Positives:

I thought this movie was better than Happy Halloween

Daphne dancing was cute. I also loved that Fred pretty much immediately joined in and then Shaggy and Scooby did too.

Liked the “I love your hair” joke

Daphne&Fred + “Knight in Shining Armor” moment = adorable

Fred’s knight outfit was easily my fav

I loved the montage of them all taking selfies. Super cute!

I actually really enjoyed King Arthur. I love the Gang, of course, but I’m also a sucker for a good ole sixth addition. His camaraderie with Shaggy was sweet. I also like the change-up that comes with the dynamics whenever the Gang befriends someone who isn’t as nice as they are.

Daphne’s A+ fighting, jousting, and archery was a pleasure to watch

Scooby saying that Fred was also his knight in shining armor 👌

Fred saying that he’s an artist when talking about how good he is at making traps

“Velma’s usually right about these things” 👏 Fred

Shaggy drinking respect women juice and saying women can do whatever they want and also that some are scary 😤👍 my boy

Velma letting Daphne be Ariel and sit where she wanted on the Dragon 🥺

Scooby refusing to eat while Shaggy was in danger

Shaggy and Scooby dancing and celebrating together when they think Morgan’s been defeated

Fred touching Shaggy’s face a bunch when he first sees the Castle

^Also Scooby licking Shaggy’s face after they found him

Shaggy being asked if he’s alright by the Gang and responding “I am now that you guys are here.” 😭

Daphne calling the Gang “Dudes”

Norville being a family name

Shaggy not wanting to own land because people invested in real estate tend to be kinda evil 😂

King Arthur’s cute little reflection about whether Shaggy was his mate or not and then saying he was at least the closest thing he ever had to one. I KNOW IT WASNT REAL GUYS BUT IT WAS IN MY HEAAART

I enjoyed the callbacks to all the previous media with the sleep gas fog

The Gang holding hands in a circle while falling toward the ground (though, I don’t understand how they went from being in the air to then landing safely on the ground — was the flying through the air thing a dream? they would have still been moved though, right?)

I thought the picture disappearing thing was actually cool and a neat way to raise the stakes. It’s nothing that hasn’t been done before but I wasn’t expecting them to implement it and I liked how it worked to move the plot forward in a way that felt natural. (Also Daph had it as her lockscreen, I’m 🥺)

Mystery machine wagon was cool

I thought the gag with Arthur being happy Lancelot got beaten up was pretty good

Sidenote: Jason Isaacs killed it

Fred giving Daphne his ascot

SIR FRED SIR DAPHNE

Fred slapping the plate of food out of Shaggy’s hands was probably the best joke of the whole movie

A Few Negatives:

This movie along with the last few has been a bit over saturated I think??? I can’t tell if it’s me or my monitor or what but I feel like the colors have been turned up a bit lately. I thought this film wasn’t as bad as Happy Halloween (which had really bright greens, pinks, and oranges that were too much for my eyes) but still a little intense

Budget constraints in general mean the animation’s a little lower in quality but nothing that detracts from the viewing experience

Gaslight was not something I ever expected to hear in a Scooby movie. Writers were clearly not using the word in the same context as it’s most used nowadays but it still threw me for a sec

Really didn’t like Velma saying she only watched Thundarr for the abs. Seemed very un-Velma 😬 Also initially thought she was going to have cute bonding over books with the librarian lady but nope, definitely not where that went

Some of the dialogue was hard to follow, just a couple scene where the exchanges were a bit quick/oddly-paced. Also some of the jokes didn’t land for me but that’s nothing unusual, especially since this movie is FULL of humor so a few not doing it for me is expected, and mostly to taste. I have no doubt the film will make you laugh at least once if not multiple times (like it did for me) so 😉

Wish they’d handled the joke about Fred’s susceptibility just a little differently.

(Not a negative just a related note) But everything he said about his Dad. 😧 Very Concerned for my son

Forgetting to charge the phone was a little contrived but ultimately necessary and forgivable

I guess airline ticket prices were the real monster are along....

God I love this woman

THE TWIST AT THE END!!!!! LOVED!!!!!!

In caution of the Centiskorch leak:

Centiskorch is composed of 11 characters which exceeds Pokémon’s normal 10 character count. Fletchinder is the only one to date that exceeds it thus far so it is possible.

But it pokes a hole in it and the subsequent magazine leaks

⚔️ I WATCHED THE SWORD AND THE SCOOB YEAHFGSHDG (some spoilers ahead)

i’m from the uk so it was really funny to see the gang do all the classic british tourist-y things. the double-decker buses. the phone boxes. the stone circles. the food jokes were great because you had things like fish and chips/tea and scones but then also things like toad in the hole (yes), spotted dick (yes again), and jellied eels (the uk is great). absolutely stellar content

girlboss knight daphne is the only thing that matters to me anymore. “sir daphne, you’re my knight in shining armour!” added 1000000 years to my lifespan. was not expecting “i told you reality is a simulation” to be the penultimate line of a scooby doo movie but thank you daphne very cool

i can’t believe they referenced mayor jones. i can’t believe that velma said king arthur was like an authoritarian dictator and then fred just went “oh, like my dad! :)” and then daphne agreed and they left it at that. Man. though in general i love the subtle ties back to mystery incorporated, they’re never overdone and really help the franchise feel a little more interconnected!

the comedy is (mostly) really sharp, and the character interactions are a lot of fun! i never thought i would say that almost Actual King Arthur has great chemistry with mystery inc as an unofficial sixth member but here we are.

my only criticisms would be that the pacing felt kind of awkward in places, and a little part of me wishes that they actually did travel to camelot. i’m a sucker for time travel plots, and the fading lockscreen photo reminded me a lot of back to the future!! so in that way it was a shame that it was all a hoax, but a fun one regardless.

i was looking forward to watching this one for a really long time and it definitely didn’t disappoint. i adore arthurian mythos, so it was really cool to see a crossover between two of my biggest interests in that way!! it was a really fun take on the classic story that still worked really well with the scooby characters and formula. 9/10, i would definitely watch it again! :D

Okay so scenes from previous Scoobies seen in the Sword and Scoob time travel montage:

Pumpkin army & Fred from Happy Halloween

Shaggy/Scooby chest bump from Moon Monster Madness

FRUITMEYERS!!!!! From sdmi (shot line scene bc ofc)

The Moon Monster Madness scene again in the bg but im just gonna ignore repeats from now on but know they are slightly repeating

ZOMBIE ISLAND CURSE BREAKING

The Be Cool Head BobTM

Um can't 100% tell but I think it's cyber chase? Bc im seeing 90s Daphne and 2 Scooby's and Shaggy's? Both Shaggys have a green shirt though so idk

I don't even know but it looks old school, probably 70s, but Scoob and Shag are in colonial attire harassing what I assume is the baddie

Okay that's Where Are You but it's just the bad guy and he's some random cowboy so I don't remember which ep but I have seen it

CaPtAiN CaVeMaAaAaAn!!!11!1!1!!

The Cleopatra intro from Where's My Mummy

Velma's SDMI Mystery Museum Tour (Miner 49er)

Museum Tour again although although this time it's Captain Cutler

Some ice monster thing idk (LISTEN THERES BEEN SO MANY I CANT EVEN KEEP TRACK ANYMORE) however it looks newer animation wise, definitely 21st century

SDMI MUSUEM TOUR AGAIN! (Space Kook if your curious) I know it's iconic but 3 times IS a sign this is def in sdmi-verse no doubt

Aw Pup Named Scooby Doo! Let's totally ignore the absolute shitshow (affectionate) of a timeline this movie is now in!

[dogdogdog]

Sword and the Scoob spoilers 

but listen, this movie really solidified Daphne’s character. 

There’s no way that Fred would have been able to take out an army of knights in those challenges. Daphne really is the brawn of the group. 

She thinks that reality is a simulation, and she is 100% okay with that

her and Fred being each others knight in shining armor

Literally the gang in this movie are so cute. they have a little dance party to try and get the towns people to come out of hiding. the whole ascot thing. They all hate small towns. amazing.

[broke-on-books]

Velma screams jump and Fred just does it as high as he can

[broke-on-books]

THAT TIME TRAVEL SCENE HOLY SHIT!!!!

The images of other scooby scenes... does this imply that they're all in one universe bc there was a LOT of sdmi in there but also some Pup Named and aaaagghhhhh!!!!!!! Answers!!!! I will overthink what WB totally saw as a "cool moment" into a canon timeline don't test me on this

[broke-on-books]

SHAGGY OH MY GOD

fucking pulls out some magic medallion like we're supposed to believe he's had it on him the entire time and we've somehow never seen it before

[broke-on-books]
