remember that first live action scooby doo movie. where the antagonist was literally scrappy doo and he was stealing peoples souls, like actually really stealing and absorbing souls, and was planning on taking scoobys soul to rule the world with an army of demons and get revenge on the gang after they abandoned him because he kept peeing in the car, and near the end he turned into this huge dog monster
a real movie
shit. shit
I researched this because I saw this movie in cinemas when I was like 6 goddamn years old and remembering its existence just now blew my mind. James Gunn screenwrote this. The writer and director of Guardians of the Galaxy, 12 full years before his most successful film. He stated in interviews that he hated Scrappyâs guts and âtheir whole goal was to destroy Scrappy foreverâ, since the character was famously brought in to Scooby Doo in the 80s to help ratings and was almost immediately overexposed and overmarketed to the point that many fans hate him. And they totally did. He hasnât appeared in anything Scooby Doo related since, except for these throwaway allusions as a nightmare-like traumatic event for the rest of the gang. Depending how you wanna interpret those references the canon fate of Scrappy Doo was that he went nuts and tried to kill anyone. Also, according to this movie he was never even a puppy, just âhad a glandular issueâ, which makes all those times he went âpuppy powerâ really creepy in hindsight tbh I havenât watched a SD related thing in years but I spent like a half hour looking into and reading about this. Worth.
The best part is that Gunn is still proud of this and admits to writing him as the villain because scrappy is a âcompletely fucking awful personâ
I wish to be as proud of my fanfiction as James Gunn is of his SD movieÂ
Oh my god I hated Scrappy wheen growing up. I just didnât like him and I was laughing pretty hard at that movie when they made him the main villain of that film. Good job, James Gunn.
Ya did good
