Barudak posted:I would assume this is a different timeline as they appear to have their Whats New Scooby Doo looks and further- It is canonical that in-universe, the world goes through frequent reboots of reality, with the only person consistently retaining memories between each reboot being Harlan Ellison.

An Aspect of Scrappy Doo is that he was almost a good character, but he was hosed up by the cartoon censorship of the time. He was supposed to be actually effective, but the execs thought that that was a bad influence on children so they neutered him after promising the head writer that they would not. I can't find the article that explained this though, or I'd link it.

Acebuckeye13 posted:Harlan Ellison was in that show? Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc was really great, and is the only Scooby Doo show that has a running body count and also has a story that you could believe ties in to Twin Peaks, and another that ties together the origins of Dynomutt with Jonny Quest. My only complaint is I wish the one episode where they unmask the Funky Phantom didn't turn out to be a dream sequence.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:Don't forget that the hero school in OK KO has canonically beaten Luna Nova in sportsball. Ian wields all the power and no one can, or wants to, stop him. I had to look up what that was. I haven't seen Little Witch Academia, but the one thing I do know is that they did draw both Ian and Rebecca Sugar into the series (multiple times I guess): Also, in trying to reserch that, I found out they also drew in both Dipper and Mable as well as Connie from Steven Universe into a crowd scene one time.

Also, the extradimensional beings in question are pretty much identical to the unnamed creature from Stephen King's It, down to the thing where one of them is buried beneath California, spreads evil in cycles throughout history, and we get flashbacks to various previous historical mystery gangs who were provoked into forming by its evil machinations, e.g. a gang of mystery-solving Gregorian monks accompanied by a talking donkey. The show even ends with a big finale where the mystery gang has to go underneath their home town to confront the extradimensional monster that has fomented centuries of evil before they finally defeat it and break the cycle. Scooby can talk because of his ancestral links to this ancient evil, and all the previous talking animals were inevitably corrupted by its influence and turned on their mystery-solving teen friends. It was a wacky show. Not always great, but extremely ambitious, and definitely a lot of fun.

And, probably spoilers, one of them that still lived was a talking owl who used its speech capacity to control Nazi robots. I need to actually watch that show. Also, there was an actual Scooby-Doo/Supernatural crossover.

There's also an episode where Scooby has a dream about the gang going to a mystery solvers' convention, and they have to solve a mystery with all the other Hanna-Barbera Scooby-Doo ripoffs like Speed Buggy, Captain Caveman, and the Funky Phantom.

I'd really have loved to see their university years with Harlan Ellison at Miskatonic University. It'll never happen, but it'd be great if it did.

I think the issue is that while that character was originally voiced and is heavily modeled off of Price, he's still technically an original character, but Harlon Ellison was just Harlon Ellison in MI.

The Chinese government usually doesn't try to cover up the existence of Tibet. They just claim it's a Chinese district. Unless he straight up says "Hi, I'm Flimflam from the autonomous country Tibet. China is a foreign evil, please look up the Tiananmen Square Massacre." it will probably be fine.

Hey man there's no point in subposting in this thread that like maybe only 20 people post in. And I maintain that yes, China just might take affront to a live action TV show on Netflix that depicts a Tibetan genocide.

Sockser posted:I don't know who the target audience for a conclusion movie to 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo is I actually like most Scooby Doo things honestly, I kind of grew up in the golden area of the mid to late 90s where you had all the notable old stuff showing up on CN, A Pup Named Scooby Doo and then the first 4 Scooby Doo Direct to Video movies that I watched constantly (Zombie Island being the best and honestly legit creepy at parts). Kind of fell to the wayside through the 00s until Mystery Inc came along and is legit one of my favorite cartoons of all time. Acebuckeye13 posted:Harlan Ellison was in that show?

Scooby Doo is a franchise that has aged remarkably well. It helps that the people behind it seem to be people that grew up loving the show and just want to get weird with it.

Scooby Doo's main advantage is that it's a property people both have a lot of nostalgia for, while also being totally willing to admit that it's really dumb. It's also super malleable which is why it's able to cross over with literally everything

I must have been at just the wrong age to enjoy Scooby Doo. When I was in my prime cartoon-watching years, they weren't producing any new Scooby Doo series, but Cartoon Network was playing Scooby Doo for what felt like 8 hours a day every day and I always kind of resented it for not showing shows I liked more often.

In addition to just being all around decent the latest episode of Gumball (The Drama) has a guest animated segment that's kind of awesome. I highly recommend it.

Caught up with Voltron, started the Dragon Prince. I'm actually impressed at how CGI animation has developed to the point that it can be a reasonably good imitation of, well, an ATLA style "anime", especially in the action sequences. I'm way less impressed by the choice to only animate key frames during dialog scenes. The lack of fluidity reminds me more of early Archer more than anything else. Also the intro was such a confusing loving infodump that I'm not sure what's going on besides elves and humans hate each other and there was a dragon but it's dead now. But I get the impression that's all I really need to know?

In the latest Teen Titans Go Robin is trying to explain the concept of quantum super states to the rest of the group. How do you even come up with that? That idea is so completely out of the left field.
