So Velma in a bikini top gets cut but Fred looking down Daphne's top first chance he gets and Scrappy peeing on her stays in the film? Interesting choices the filmmakers made.
Guy Persona i knew he looks familiar to me but i didn't know from where! and i consider myself a slasher movies fan......i'm so disappointed of myself right now.
+Deathreaper 663 To be fair, I think he only did it because he had a crush on Billy Loomis' character and wanted to eliminate his rival for Billy's affection. Just my pet theory, but it beats the heck of the "peer pressure" motive the movie gave.
@@DoctorWolfula hey doc i would like your opinion on something, i personally don't really dislike scrabby, and i honestly feel that there is potential for a great character with him which is who i wanna hear your opinion on this, if i got to make a new scooby doo film (preferably animated) i would reintroduce scrabby as one of the characters and a adolecent police dog in training who still looks up to his uncle and has the same "let's go gettem" attitude but more diciplned and matured, what do you think, also why you gotta hate on ghoul school man...just kidding your opinion but i still love it
1:Your voice in this is alright 2:I kinda like this movie a bit, but it not as good as the sequel. 3:are you gonna review the sequel? If so, just don't watch the TV prequels....they downgraded the series real fast.
+TGG TheGreenGamer I'm going to be honest the prequels weren't to bad the second one sucked honestly but was fine enough for one watch but the first prequel was awesome and kinda freaky like with the ghosts coming out of there grave the frost time
"Scrappy was kicked out of the gang mostly because he was annoying, but also because he liked giving Daphne golden showers." LOL dude great job with this review, the progression of your videos has been evident over the past year, you keep getting better and better.
***** There was going to be a dark punchline to that golden shower joke: "Well, at least Daphne isn't under-aged, right R. Kelly?" I cut it out of the video because it seemed like the kind of thing people would get angry over. It's kind of weak without a punchline, though.
@@DoctorWolfula I wasn’t a #1 fan of Scrappy-Doo either but I don’t outright hate him to see him ruined for kids, Scrappy wasn’t a negative character he was a annoying plot device
I got a copyright claim on this video. I've disputed it but the video might not be up long if they reject my dispute. I'll try to keep it up and available to watch.
If it makes you feel any better, the voice actress who voiced Film Flam also played Tina's mom in "Friday the 13th Part VII" and she got offed in it, so... if you want Film Flam dead, just watch that and picture him getting impaled with a garden spear. XD
This Movie is a guilty pleasure of mine, the only thing I really have against it is that Tim Curry could have been the villain, but he passed when he heard Scrappy was in the movie.
I actually like this movie. Sure, it's goofy, but so was the original series. Matthew Lillard played Shaggy really well. The only thing that bugs me is Fred's jerky behavior and the tacky humor. Good review.
You know since James Gunn wrote the first two live action Scooby movies I can't help but think how the gang would break down in the roles of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Shaggy as Star-Lord, Scooby as Rocket, Fred as Drax, Daphne as Gamora, Velma as Mantis, and you could put Scrappy as the Baby version of Groot.
@@darricktv9857 I was 5 years old when this movie came out and even then when I saw the commercials for the film, my 5 year old self was like "That is NOT Scooby Doo! It looks nothing like him!". And I dodged the film for a few years til my parents bought a Double Feature DVD of both films on the same disc and even then I still didn't care for both movies.
And the Luna ghost is in there too.. in the first episode I have been watching that recently on Netflix. Claimed to be the best revival in Scooby Doo history..
I watched this video the day it was uploaded, and I've been obsessed with Scooby Doo ever since. I think it was probably the quick overview of the history at the beginning of the video that really got me interested.
Mary Jane also served as a way to draw attention away from the question of whether or not Shaggy actually hooked up with any of the girls. which if the old shows where 100% in continuity he he at least hooked up with Daphne to the point of a common-law marriage and basically starting a family by unofficially adopting flim-flam. In those spin offs they lived in the same house but censored (separate rooms) as to not draw any intimacy connections Beyond everything else pointing to them to being an item besides a marriage certificate and wedding rings. Which goes against two narratives 1.) the whole pandering to the possibility of the gang secretly just being two gay couples. which is where the hole Velma Daphne fan comes from. 2.) it destroys the newer pandering continuity of Fred and Daphne being a couple but being too stupid and chicken to initiate it. Because they went with the cliche jock and would-be cheerleader and nerdy feminist with hippie slacker. Essentially the pairing of societal Alphas with their Polar Opposites in the literally and metaphorical sense.
The director, Raja Gosnell, wanted a real-life couple to play Daphne and Fred. His first choice was Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. Prinze Jr. didn't originally want to do the movie because he felt it wouldn't live up to the Scooby cartoons, but Gellar talked him into it. This was the last Scooby-Doo project franchise to be created and produced by both William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. Hanna died on March 22, 2001. After filming was completed, Freddie Prinze Jr. had to shave his head, because the bleach ruined his hair. Sarah Michelle Gellar hated wearing Daphne's purple go-go boots and would change into comfy sneakers whenever she was able. Freddie Prinze Jr. hated wearing the trademark ascot Fred usually wore in the original cartoons. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jennifer Aniston were considered for the role of Daphne. One of the few Scooby-Doo films to reveal the real first names of Scooby and Shaggy as, respectively, Scoobert and Norville. Frank Welker, who has voiced Freddy Jones in all the Scooby-Doo cartoons, provides his voice to one of the evil creatures in this movie. From 2002 Welker has also taken on the job of voicing Scooby-Doo. Despite the movie poster of the gang being in front of the shadow of the Luna Ghost the villain only appears in the first few minutes of the film. This is because the Luna Ghost was originally intended to be the main antagonist in an early draft of the script. In reality, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar are married, having had two children together. Ironically, Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is blonde, portrayed the red-haired Daphne, while Isla Fisher, who is redheaded, portrayed the blonde Mary Jane. Linda Cardellini and Isla Fisher were fans of the cartoon before they were cast in the film. The very last Hanna-Barbera live-action movie. Originally, Scrappy Doo was not going to be the main villain. At the end of the film, Old Man Smithers aka "the Luna Ghost" from the beginning of the movie was going to be behind the event of the film. Throughout the film, there are hints that Mr. Mondavarious is actually Scrappy. He is seen scratching behind his ear as if he had fleas. His office also has bookends in the shape of dog heads and a carved dog head statue. Though James Gunn hasn't entirely disowned the film, he has expressed regret in making Scrappy the main villain of the film, after receiving some backlash from the character's fans. James Gunn's original screenplay had the villain finally revealed as actor Don Knotts, a payoff to Fred's line referring to Scooby's mistake at his Christmas party. The kitchen in the Spooky Island Castle where Shaggy and Scooby have their burp/fart competition is the same kitchen in which the brainwashing training video was filmed. This explains why there is a camera in the kitchen and Shaggy says "lights, camera, action. Huh Scoob" when he notices it.
Scooby Doo IS for kids... Kids from the 60's, 70's, and 80's... all of whom just happen to have advanced in age well beyond that of a "kid". I was born in 1981, and I still proudly love Scooby-Doo. 40 year old men (or 20, or 30... whatever your current age) can still be child like in some ways... with nothing to be ashamed of!
I found this movie harmless fun and having seen a live action serious Money found down the back of the couch budget movie that was DIRE this was light and enjoyable. Glad to see a reviewer that can acknowledge that keep up the great work.
Hilarious review! This is a guilty pleasure of ours as well. Our son is a huge Scooby fan and he loved this video. Also, we gotta agree that this movie would have worked better as the sequel to Monsters Unleashed. And yes, Flim Flam is an abomination! Also, we gotta know, what is your favorite Scooby Doo series?
I love Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, it's my favorite of the cartoon movies! Nice review by the way, I also remember Miguel A. Nunez Jr. fr. ...Good ol Friday The 13th A New Beginning.
***** imo Scooby Doo the Curse of Zombie Island brought Scooby Doo back into relevance. The series seemed consigned to re-runs forever, but that TV movie was so well done that people wanted more. That is when Scooby Doo became popular again. It is my favorite Scooby Doo movie as well.
ZonicTHedgehog bro, fuck that, he's way better in Return of the Living Dead. I even prefer him in Leprechaun in Space. But, watching a Jason movie without Jason in it? Fuck that shit.
Craig Titley wrote a script back in the 90s for a big screen version of SD but was buried due to studio politics. It's floating around the internet and it's worth a read. IMO, it's way better than Gunn's scripts and was more of a love letter to fans as well as the characters. I wish THAT script had made it to the big screen.
+Marion Ette True confession: I have a crush on Shaggy. Then again, I have always had a thing for lovable goofballs, and also for Matthew Lillard. Don't judge me, please.
I laugh a lot with the Daria joke. I do think a darker and edgier version of Scooby Doo as a movie could have been better, maybe with a real dog (obviously inhence with some CGI for some parts) althoug probably with current state of CGI won't be necesarry anymore (like the racoon in GOTG or the apes in PoA that look very realistic) but still, real to CGI is always better. But is curiously how Zombie Island is really one of the best direct-to-video animated films and is much better than this film. That's why I think a movie with that tone might work. And if the writer also write GOTG so he knows how to make the balance between the two styles. Anyway...
I'm a huge Scooby fan. The first live action movie could've been better with some more adult humor slipped in. This movie (for better or worse) inspired a lot of my fashion choices at the time. :p
I loved this movie as a kid! I'm 18 now😂 All the actors fit their roles pretty well! Especially SMG. I watched this before I ever watched Buffy so the fight scene at the end weirded me out a little but I've been a Buffy fan for two years now so... Lol. Great review!
I love this film and its sequel, I know they’re not perfect but my favorite of those films is Monsters Unleashed. They’re guilty pleasures of mine right next to Inspector Gadget 1 and 2. ❤️
I'm from Australia.. we dont ride in the pouches of Kangaroo Jacks to school and say "mate" in every sentence like some people believe, just had to throw that out there. but heck i didnt even know we had a Movie World, so going now XD Dr. Wolfula your reviews are getting gooooood and i was charmed to sit through the whole thing :)
Perhaps the reason Monsters in 2002 Scooby Doo movie can't survive in the sunlight are: Sunlights has Positive energy while those monsters are made from Negative Energy(this fact is what's Ghostbusters of Super Sentai aka Gogo-v brought up)
Great review. The biggest problem I had with it was scooby and shaggy being vegetarians. Screw that! They ate hamburgers , hot dogs, and any other meat by the boat load. Sandwiches filled with meat to the ceiling. That was some dumb hippie crap.
They only did that because Shaggy"s original voice actor refused to voice him once he himself went vegan, and would only voice him if the character converted to veganism.
Great review as always Wolfula. Hopefully the copyright police won't give you too much trouble. Do they even understand what "Fair Use" is, or do they get paid by the click for reporting stuff?
Aw, the Scooby-Doo cartoons, good old times. I've seen almost all of the shows when they were being aired on Cartoon Network, including the one with Shaggy as a wolf in a race. I even remember them parodying 'The Blair Witch Project' once. Who else remembers *that* being on TV?
Every time my parents took me to Blockbuster, I would get this movie. I watched this movie every weekend until Blockbuster wen't under. I'm 23 now and haven't seen it since Blockbuster stopped being a thing. Gods this feels so weird.
Honestly, looking back, the plot is kinda unsettling. Countless people who came to the island are possessed, and offered as a sacrifice. I mean, I know Scooby and the Gang stop all of this, with Velma, Daphne and Fred only being taken for like a day, and they stop all of this before any of the monsters get off the island, but still. I've usually found the whole, brainwashed/possession plot to be very creepy. Also, I agree on the scene with Velma in a bikini. That, Daphnes Spirit Thingy, the alternate intro should've been in there.
Tommy Carr actually, they make a direct-to-television prequel and the prequel was succesful (in context) and so they make a sequel of the prequel (with the same cast and still chronologically before the first movie) so...
The only thing that’s ever bugged me about this movie is that all the posters and dvd covers have the shadow of the old man Smithers ghost on them. That always bugged me as a kid because they literally brought him down in the first 9 freaking minutes. Aside from that, this movie is amazing.
As a continuation of bad live action incarnations of an animated medium, you should review Guyver (1991). Or if you feel like torturing him beyond compare, have Goulash review it.
It's funny you mention Speed Buggy cause if I'm not wrong, there was a crossover episode with Scooby Doo back in the 80's or 90's (If I remember right, it's due time I looked at my old video tapes)
I get that Scrappy was hated, but making him be the villain? That's beyond insane! Where & when did he manage to get a cult of dog-rabbit demons? Why does he want to take over the human race with them while the humans souls are forever trapped in a pool? If this was all to get revenge on Mystery Inc., why did he have to make others suffer along with them? I thought Scrappy idolized his uncle Scooby, and the gang wouldn't just leave him out in the middle of nowhere (they would just drop him off to his mother or any other Scooby relative to watch over him).
I feel that Scarappy pulled a Syndrome ( from the Incredibles) in that their plan was filled with selfish intent and from a misunderstanding that blew out of proportion. Then again they just drop him off in theirdke of nowhere, I would be pissed too.
As for how something can evolve and still die in sunlight, in real life scorpions avoid sunlight because it kills them after prolonged exposure. So it does make sense.
Yeah... you should watch Mr Bean. It's not even very long lol. And disagree that Tom Hardy wasn't a good Bane (the comic version would've looked stupid in the Nolan universe), but this was a good review otherwise.
scooby doo was the best shit ever. till i was about 12 i watched scooby doo where are you because i thought the old grainy 60's look was creepy. i might get back into watching them to be honest
I've been on that scooby doo ride you said about. i waited 2 and a half hours in line. the ride was fun and i loved it but i got out just to see that the line had shortened down to 5 minutes. at least i got a cool mid roller coaster photo out of it.
Awesome as always Doc. Got a Q&A for yea....(More like I got the "Q", you gotta supply the answer........did I think that last part, or type it? No I typed it....Yes I celebrated 420....) Happy 420.....(started the review before midnight.) ANYWAYS.... When is the next Dr. Wolfula Q&A video? Those were the shit :)
I love this channel. While I disagree and loved the old tv shows and movies (especially the ones with the red shirt shaggy ) and loved the 2009 Mystery begins more. This channel is really interesting.
wstine79 I'm thinking about starting a new video series on the side where I talk about random Scooby-Doo movies, games and episodes. I just need to get some stuff out of the way, first.
So Velma in a bikini top gets cut but Fred looking down Daphne's top first chance he gets and Scrappy peeing on her stays in the film? Interesting choices the filmmakers made.
He gets a piece of that a$% everyday since they are married to each other in real life.
For real fam?
THE LAST TIMELORD I looked it up and yes both Fred and Daphne’s actors are married in real life
Probably Raja Gosnell's idea. James Gunn was at least trying.
Shit, Velma in a bikini sounds way better.
Too bad that shaggy went on to be one of the ghostface killers.
I'm such a f****** idiot for not recognizing the actor.
Guy Persona i knew he looks familiar to me but i didn't know from where! and i consider myself a slasher movies fan......i'm so disappointed of myself right now.
+Lucas Fernandez Don't worry about it.
He also saved everyone in the glass house in "Thirteen Ghosts"
+Deathreaper 663 To be fair, I think he only did it because he had a crush on Billy Loomis' character and wanted to eliminate his rival for Billy's affection. Just my pet theory, but it beats the heck of the "peer pressure" motive the movie gave.

Hey it's a timeless franchise. Granted some versions are better than others.
You're never too old to enjoy a franchise.
The actual dvd version includes alot of the "Deleted scenes" actually
Really? The DVD I have just kinda has the regular film. tbh, before this review I had no clue these scenes even existed.

+Maggie Koch Can't imagine why I would. I've always had a bit of a crush on both Shaggy and Velma, as well...

This was an amazing review. I might be one of the only people who can honestly say they loved "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo"
I genuinely thought about how much I love that show when he started talking about all the other Scooby Doo shows!
I laugh a lot with the Daria joke.
I do think a darker and edgier version of Scooby Doo as a movie could have been better, maybe with a real dog (obviously inhence with some CGI for some parts) althoug probably with current state of CGI won't be necesarry anymore (like the racoon in GOTG or the apes in PoA that look very realistic) but still, real to CGI is always better.
But is curiously how Zombie Island is really one of the best direct-to-video animated films and is much better than this film. That's why I think a movie with that tone might work. And if the writer also write GOTG so he knows how to make the balance between the two styles. Anyway...
I'm a huge Scooby fan. The first live action movie could've been better with some more adult humor slipped in.
This movie (for better or worse) inspired a lot of my fashion choices at the time. :p
I loved this movie as a kid! I'm 18 now😂 All the actors fit their roles pretty well! Especially SMG. I watched this before I ever watched Buffy so the fight scene at the end weirded me out a little but I've been a Buffy fan for two years now so... Lol. Great review!
I love this film and its sequel, I know they’re not perfect but my favorite of those films is Monsters Unleashed.
They’re guilty pleasures of mine right next to Inspector Gadget 1 and 2. ❤️
Interesting.
I'm from Australia.. we dont ride in the pouches of Kangaroo Jacks to school and say "mate" in every sentence like some people believe, just had to throw that out there. but heck i didnt even know we had a Movie World, so going now XD Dr. Wolfula your reviews are getting gooooood and i was charmed to sit through the whole thing :)
Perhaps the reason Monsters in 2002 Scooby Doo movie can't survive in the sunlight are: Sunlights has Positive energy while those monsters are made from Negative Energy(this fact is what's Ghostbusters of Super Sentai aka Gogo-v brought up)
Like a nutron
Great review. The biggest problem I had with it was scooby and shaggy being vegetarians. Screw that! They ate hamburgers , hot dogs, and any other meat by the boat load. Sandwiches filled with meat to the ceiling. That was some dumb hippie crap.
They only did that because Shaggy"s original voice actor refused to voice him once he himself went vegan, and would only voice him if the character converted to veganism.
Cartelini's velma is hot actually.
Great review as always Wolfula. Hopefully the copyright police won't give you too much trouble. Do they even understand what "Fair Use" is, or do they get paid by the click for reporting stuff?
PuppetDungeon It's all automated, unfortunately.
Are you gonna review Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed?
Brandon Network im from the future and yes he just did
Aw, the Scooby-Doo cartoons, good old times. I've seen almost all of the shows when they were being aired on Cartoon Network, including the one with Shaggy as a wolf in a race. I even remember them parodying 'The Blair Witch Project' once. Who else remembers *that* being on TV?
Every time my parents took me to Blockbuster, I would get this movie. I watched this movie every weekend until Blockbuster wen't under. I'm 23 now and haven't seen it since Blockbuster stopped being a thing. Gods this feels so weird.
DVD copies are easy to obtain. Though get the Widescreen version.
if you look at shaggy he is one of the killers in scream1 if you look closely i forgot his name but the guy who got killed with the TV
I love this film but making Scrappy Doo the villain is the one thing I don't like
I guess they made Scrappy-Doo villain just to erase him from the history books.
I've watched this review countless times, I love it. Your the man Doc
That new new intro was nothing short of brilliance.
Anyone remember the "Scooby, Scrappy, and Yabba-Doo" show? Or was it just my teenage fever dream?
unpopular opinion: second film was better.
Shocker: not so unpopular most people agree with you
Honestly, looking back, the plot is kinda unsettling.
Countless people who came to the island are possessed, and offered as a sacrifice. I mean, I know Scooby and the Gang stop all of this, with Velma, Daphne and Fred only being taken for like a day, and they stop all of this before any of the monsters get off the island, but still. I've usually found the whole, brainwashed/possession plot to be very creepy.
Also, I agree on the scene with Velma in a bikini. That, Daphnes Spirit Thingy, the alternate intro should've been in there.
Wolfula please review the other 3 live action Scooby Doo movies
PrimusVsUnicron 3? I know there's the sequel, then there's the prequel, what's the other one?
The sequel to the prequel
Woah woah woah......they made more after 2? We're the first two that popular?
Tommy Carr actually, they make a direct-to-television prequel and the prequel was succesful (in context) and so they make a sequel of the prequel (with the same cast and still chronologically before the first movie) so...
Tommy Carr it was on Cartoon Network
The only thing that’s ever bugged me about this movie is that all the posters and dvd covers have the shadow of the old man Smithers ghost on them. That always bugged me as a kid because they literally brought him down in the first 9 freaking minutes. Aside from that, this movie is amazing.
There is a great poster with Spooky Island mothiffs behind the gang. It's pink, and I take it as the official one...
As a continuation of bad live action incarnations of an animated medium, you should review Guyver (1991). Or if you feel like torturing him beyond compare, have Goulash review it.
How do you feel about the ''Scooby-Doo'' knock offs of the 60's such as ''Jabberjaw'' or ''Speed Buggy''.
It's funny you mention Speed Buggy cause if I'm not wrong, there was a crossover episode with Scooby Doo back in the 80's or 90's (If I remember right, it's due time I looked at my old video tapes)
Red shirt shaggy movies have a special nostalgic place in my heart
omg when you mentioned Scooby doo on Zombie island i said to myself im definitely watching that later lol
You forgot to mention Leatherface is in this movie bro
I actually liked the Animated films of the 80’s and later on.
I get that Scrappy was hated, but making him be the villain? That's beyond insane!
Where & when did he manage to get a cult of dog-rabbit demons? Why does he want to take over the human race with them while the humans souls are forever trapped in a pool?
If this was all to get revenge on Mystery Inc., why did he have to make others suffer along with them?
I thought Scrappy idolized his uncle Scooby, and the gang wouldn't just leave him out in the middle of nowhere (they would just drop him off to his mother or any other Scooby relative to watch over him).
I feel that Scarappy pulled a Syndrome ( from the Incredibles) in that their plan was filled with selfish intent and from a misunderstanding that blew out of proportion.
Then again they just drop him off in theirdke of nowhere, I would be pissed too.
Wow. A lot changes in five years... keep up the awesome work!
A pup named scooby doo, damn, how could i have forgotten!?!?!
The adult version of this is the film we all deserve
i genuinely enjoyed this first time i watched it was great to see charachters i grew up on and the island being awesome always helps
As for how something can evolve and still die in sunlight, in real life scorpions avoid sunlight because it kills them after prolonged exposure. So it does make sense.
Pause this video at 10:28 to see Daphne flicking us off!
One of your best reviews to date. Cheers
, doc/sid :)
that ghost thing at the start of the movie was one of the scariest things in my childhood
Going back through your catalog. REALLY glad you dropped the voice.
Yeah... you should watch Mr Bean. It's not even very long lol.
And disagree that Tom Hardy wasn't a good Bane (the comic version would've looked stupid in the Nolan universe), but this was a good review otherwise.
I liked Tom Hardy as Bane. It was just a joke on how Bane was a British guy in DKR.
Now I want to watch Scooby doo on zombie island
22:05 I wouldn't have been jealous if I ever saw Velma & Daphne kissing each other. I would simply go up to my screen & ask if I could join them
scooby doo was the best shit ever. till i was about 12 i watched scooby doo where are you because i thought the old grainy 60's look was creepy. i might get back into watching them to be honest
Gotta love Cereal Killer as Shaggy. Hack the Planet!
Rowan Atkinson was FANTASTIC in this film.
MLP fans walked -with ponies- so Dr. Wolfula could run -with Scooby.-
I've been on that scooby doo ride you said about. i waited 2 and a half hours in line. the ride was fun and i loved it but i got out just to see that the line had shortened down to 5 minutes. at least i got a cool mid roller coaster photo out of it.
the photo is somewhere. its been ages.
I now want to see Daphne get a deep voice and challenge people to a card game for the fate of the world. TIME TO DUEL!!
Tom hardy was great as bane
Awesome as always Doc.
Got a Q&A for yea....(More like I got the "Q", you gotta supply the answer........did I think that last part, or type it? No I typed it....Yes I celebrated 420....)
Happy 420.....(started the review before midnight.)
ANYWAYS....
When is the next Dr. Wolfula Q&A video? Those were the shit :)
supermarky123 Planning to have another Q&A soon.
if any of you are curious what his outro music was it Marylin set me free by Casino versus Japan.
Doctor Wolfula: I never seen Mr. Bean
Me: WHAT?!
18:34 One guy called the creatures the "Big Muchachas", but then again, he was a Mexican wrestler so he was just calling the monsters big girls
Now that i think about it, the daemon ritus kinda looks like the millennium puzzle from Yu-Gi-Oh.
12:34 I wasn't as clever to come up with a witty name for it, but that is pretty much what I thought.
I love this channel. While I disagree and loved the old tv shows and movies (especially the ones with the red shirt shaggy ) and loved the 2009 Mystery begins more. This channel is really interesting.
I'm a big Scooby-Doo fan but I prefer certain incarnations more than others.
Jacques Stickman shhh! I'm trying to watch the video!
Jacques Stickman What do you think about Be Cool Scooby Doo btw?
+Dimitar Spiridonov (VenomRedRose) at least he changes his clothes unlike the rest of the human characters
Movie world is awesome, the superman ride is crazy.
Would you do a retrospective of Scooby-Doo, like what you did with Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers?
wstine79 I'm thinking about starting a new video series on the side where I talk about random Scooby-Doo movies, games and episodes. I just need to get some stuff out of the way, first.
