Yeah me and my family used to hate Scrappy Doo but I'm really loving his new character traits: making men uncomfortable in the work place due to potential sexual aggression/territory marking, then eating men's genitals off killing them, invincible, terrorizing military bases, and killing Mindy's self-insert. I didn't think it was possible to make him awesome, but _now_ he's more bad-ass then ANY monster from the classic hack and slash movies of our past. Maybe he can even become a hero of the LGBT movement the same way other monsters have, _but for his love of the male sausage_ LOL edit: oh, but I did like his new character trait introduced in the movie where he's pretty much always just marking Daphne as his territory. Like, _THAT's_ his personality trait. I think they're finally doing him justice and giving him an outlet for all his annoying little short-man syndrome rage.
Honestly I’d rather have Scrappy back than have Velma get a new season at this point. It’s not only the lesser of two evils but Scrappy does deserve a break
*Velma* is karma for Scrappy and for the declining quality of H-B’s output after they left Screen Gems for Taft Broadcasting. That’s why it’s no coincidence that karma is an Indian concept.
This is literally the same thing as sonic 06 fans beating a dead horse we get it you guys hate him but not all of us hate him stop beating a dead horse move on and if you don’t like them change them change them like I don’t get it stop beating a dead horse it happened literally in the 1970s it’s 2023 several years have passed move on Scooby Doo fans move on besides you hate that annoying kid from 13 ghost everybody hate him more than scrappy Doo. They brought him back and you guys didn’t throw a fit so here’s an idea how about you bring scrappy Doo back for one movie or even an episode just please move on
I never judge him to be annoying and weird he was always been my favorite. The only ones who are the worst are the people outside of Warner Bros. who can’t think or feel things differently because they were always been selfish and cruel and ignorant all they care about just the original ways instead of a much fresher, silver lining.

I was introduced to Scrappy in the 3 animated movies he appeared in from the 80s. Never had a problem with him at all. So knowing about the hatred for the character over the years I'm still confused about it till this day. It has never made sense to me at all.
I'll always like Scrappy. He premiered a year after I was born, so I grew up during his era. Honestly, it seemed nobody really had a serious problem with him till the late 1990s some time.
I like Scrappy, despite the hate he got over the years. But I think the Scooby Doo creators could give him a chance to redeem his character. Maybe the original Scooby Gang can bump into him with Deputy Dusty and Yabba-Doo at Tumbleweed County. There, they can solve a mystery together and they help each other out. One thing that's interesting was that they replaced Fred, Velma and Daphne for Scrappy, right? And they took pieces of their character and put it into Scrappy, correct? Well, why not put an emotional moment how Scrappy also looked up to Fred, Velma and Daphne and how ever since he came to Tumbleweed County and had to use Fred's leadership qualities, Velma's smarts and Daphne's Whatever to help Dusty and Yabba and how it made him a better person, friend and partner. And after they reveal the culprit, the Scooby gang asked him if he wants to join them. But Scrappy decides to stay Dusty and Yabba-Doo because they need him in Tumbleweed County and he's happy there. It will be just great to give him a chance to redeem his character.
Daphne's resourcefulness...that woman must have asked her Uncle Alfie about meeting up with Flamebird who started her career out as the original Batgirl, and as a thanks for designing a new outfit...Daphne got Bette's purse which has "Schröedinger's Bat" in it just handing her plot device and "all access pass to fill in for Oracle when needed."

Haters shouldn't win. Bring Scrappy back. A talented writer should be able to modernize him & balance him out. We don't have the kind of executive meddling we had back then... The kind that absolutely ruined Janine from Real Ghost Busters.
It seems to me that a large percentage of the haters are in the scooby doo staff, so if we want to restore Scappy’s reputation there needs to be a shake up in that area. As for executive meddling, it’s just as bad (if not worse) as it has ever been. If I remember correctly, the WB executive in charge of Scooby-doo (at least during most of the 2010s if not current) has a very “no real monsters in Scooby-doo” kind of mentality and it shows in a lot of the animated films that has been made recently: All fake monsters with a little ambiguity here and there for the fans wanting more supernatural stuff. This includes return to Zombie Island (which was promised to be made for the fans who wanted a return to those types of 90s animated films) and Curse of the 13th Ghost (claimed to be made for the fans who wanted a conclusion for the 13 ghosts).
Well…………….if it wasn’t for Scrappy Doo, I’m not so sure if Hanna Barbera would even exist anymore. Sure you still got The Flintstones, but I don’t think that that it’ll be enough. Sadly, it’s also possible that the rest of the kids and celebrities would be paying way more attention to Mickey Mouse more often🤧
I loved Scrappy, and yes at the time Scooby Doo was trash in the rankings. the format was stale and old by that point. In comes Scrappy who help boost ratings and pretty much saved Scooby from getting cancel. He needs more loved.
Yeah the hate for the guy is proably over top. The character could use a revamp.Where a rebooted version is more brave then scooby but also has to learn the lesson.Because there still too young them throwing themselves into a fight puts the others at risk.which hope fully lets them chill and think with there head not there fists. I mean while in turn also giving scooby more incentive to be brave around scappy for his sake and keep him from feeling he has to step up.
I never understood why Cartoon Network went out of there way to ruin Scrappy Doo. In the commercials were he meet other Cartoon characters he was the butt of so many jokes, the hate, and looked down on as less then nothing. Then that live action movie made him a bad guy with short-dog syndrome. I for one liked Scrappy he played nicely off Scooby Doo's always scared nature with is brave one. His age worked great for this too. As a kid his love for his uncle was great. Also Scrappy looked up to his uncle as his hero, and to him Scooby could do no wrong, or get scared of anything it was sweet. He was like any kid that way when meeting their hero they well not see their heroes faults. I for one think it is long past time to give Scrappy some slack, and give him a new start. If the owner of Scooby Doo can give us another season of Velma that ruins Velma to fans, and we have yet to see our boy Scooby then they can give Scrappy a shoot. But then again I rather they do not if it;s the ones who do Velma. Also I think we can all agree thanks to Velma Scrappy looks better by miles.
Thank you for making this video and sharing your thoughts. He truly is fantastic at times and I always appreciated those old commercials that called Scrappy doo cartoon royalty! To say that he was always great would be totally untrue, he has lots of Rougher moments but he comes to shine quite often! Definitely wouldn’t mind seeing a brand new take on Scrappy! Thanks for the info!
After the ending of Velma, Scrappy deserves another honest-to-god outing. No, not another mockery using tired jokes from the 2002 live-action movie, something more akin to when he originally came on the show in 1979 and saved the show!
I think the reason scrappy was so disliked was with his arrival not only did he slowly take up more of the spot light with his antics but 3 out of 5 of the most important loved characters in the entire fandom, Daphne, velma and fred were slowly pushed to the side. The fans were most likely outraged at this and blamed it on scrappy’s arrival. Scrappy was and is an underrated character. If he was introduced better, i doubt he would of gotten as much hate as he did.
I don't think Scrappy deserves the hate he gets. I'll admit I wasn't fond of him at first, however like you said if Scrappy didn't come into the show, Scooby-Doo might not have been here today. Scrappy's a hero, always has and always will be in my eyes! #JusticeforScrappy
@@StarKaiser2 Well, I'll put it this way; When me and my friend watched the show when crappy first appeared in 1979 we despised this new character for ruining our beloved show so much, we'd invent new ways of killing him or how he'd meet his demise. Kind of like medieval torture meets bad traffic accident stuff. I guess it would be like Itchy and Scratchy meets Saw Even drew pictures about it. Kids can be very creative this way. 💀💀
He's immortalized in the Pokémon franchise with the Scrappy Ability, which basically does allow exactly that, letting a Pokémon with Scrappy punch normally intangible Ghost-type Pokémon. 👻
I've been a Scrappy-Doo Fan ever since I was a small child watching the Cartoons on Boomerang [when that was a thing on TV]. I never get the Hatred or the VItriol for the Pup. However, I'm glad many others have finally came back over to protect him due to him killing the Scooby-Dooless Timeline/Universe.
I never understood the hate scrappy God because in the show, he was a well meaning in but still headstrong character, but he was still a good guy. He was really only turned into a villain, just so the fans could feel justified in hating him, I feel like it would’ve been better for them to just make small changes to his character rather than just making them evil and mean just for the sake of pleasing the fans.
Tbh, I didn't even know Scrappy saved the franchise. It makes the hate he gets even more questionable. But from what I can tell, at this point it's literally just a meme lmao. I for one love Scrappy, and would love for him to get a second chance. Well really third cause his second chance was used to kill Mindy's Velma character and that alone makes him a hero again.
I loved Scrappy growing up and I still do, him being one of my favourites. Once I got to know that people out there hated him- I was shocked. Not to mention him turning up as a villain in the live action film. I still don't understand why he's hated as a now 27 year old lol.
This is the first time I've heard about it and I really don't understand what the hate is for. I've always liked Scrappy, and even though he played a terrible role in the 2002 live-action movie, he's still one of my favorite characters in the Scooby-Doo series.
Scrappy was my favorite Scooby Doo character as a kid and as I grew up I hated how he was treated by Cartoon Network/Turner and Warner Bros. Making him the villain is the main reason I hate the live action Scooby films and consider them garbage. Scrappy doesn't deserve the hate he got over the three decades. Shane on everyone including the networks and films companies.
I love scrappy Doo as a character, someone who’s opposite of Scooby-Doo, who hast to push shaggy and Scooby into fights at a new dynamic. The problems come with that second season, where it went from mysteries to a paranormal version of Looney Tunes. I do also like the 13 ghosts and how they used them. I don’t think he deserves crap he gets.
The problen with scrappy is that scrappy doo was a kid that was never allowed to grow or improve. In the old cartoons, from the first to the last appearance, he was the same character. He never changed. He never learned his lesson. He never came to understand the danger he put himself and others in by charging forward whenever presented with a threat. He was never punished.
If Warner Bros. has a heart, they should put Scrappy-Doo in the movie Scoob! 2 either as the villain or only for a short cameo! But there’s one thing I don’t understand, if Warner Bros. hates Scrappy-Doo so much, then why is he in new Scooby-Doo clothing, games and merchandise!?
As a kid I liked him. It was a nice contrast to the cowardice of Scooby and Shaggy. I haven't watched it as an adult. I'm sure his catch phrase would get old. I frankly don't understand the hate. Like it or not, he saved the show.
Henry Hawk and Scrappy Doo were freaking awesome. 4:20 Sounds like the network killed his character by trying to make the feisty kid docile and cowardly. Typical.
The movie and Cartoon Network commercials ruined Scrappy!!! He was annoying sometimes but he was better than Velma nowadays! He was almost forgotten in the 13 ghosts movie!!! He was not perfect and had flaws but that doesn’t mean he deserved the hate!!!
I always like Scrappy Doo and saw not only all the old show with him but all the old animated movies with him too. When I first saw the live action Scooby Doo film and found out Scrappy was the main villain I was furious. I walk out of the theater feeling betray cause that's like if you made a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action film and all of a sudden Raphael or Splinter became the main villain. It makes no sense.
I always liked Scrappy Doo. I remember kid me being kinda appalled with them making him the main villain of the movie. Dude literally tried to absorb his uncle's soul..
I think the issue with Scrappy is that he's a wrong fix to the stale genre. Watching Billiam, it's clear that after Scrappy became a hit, he immediately became overused to the point of ire. Ironically enough, whenever Scrappy was unlikable, so were Scooby and Shaggy. Make no mistake, Poochy satirized Scrappy, but in hindsight, he also satirized the network's reactions to such. Getting rid of Scrappy or taking potshots at him doesn't improve anything. It felt like the most desperate attempt to get on with the fans. If anything, the only reason why the potshots work is because people hated Scrappy. Replace that with Scooby and you can tell that the joke doesn't work very far. I swear, show the anti-Scrappy jokes to a random guy and they won't get the punchline.
I think it was the studio that fanned the flames of this beloved character. I’m also glad people that love the show or acknowledge the hate also don’t think the hate is warranted. I understand people hate changing the formula but this felt more like a ploy for viewers to think they should hate this character. Plus let’s address the elephant in the room. They are willing to constantly hate on this pup as cannon. But it’s not cannon that the gang has met these (Real) monsters more then once. Both in movies, shows, and specials? Why is the live action movie cannon but every other monster encounter irrelevant?
As a Kid I liked him. I still like him as adult and still don't understand the hate, well I do, but its hard to explain what I mean so I won't try. In my case, I just separate his seasons and series from the older stuff and go "this is product A and that is Product B" and take things as they are. By separating the two things, I don't see the issues as bad as they are. Sure, the change happened but change happens. You either adapt things or you just have to switch off. I've seen the same thing happen, like in the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. Silver is the Scrappy Doo of that fandom. Most of the hate, however, is linked to Sonic 2006 for the most part. I happened to Aang and Korra in Avatar. The problem is a lot of the fans enjoy a show, the dedicated fans stick around to the end. Over time a show gets refined and a new character can revive a series because this 9/10 of the time results in stagnation. The character results in a overhaul to the show. This brings in new fans, who like the new format and have no love of older ones. However, its the love by older fans of the original format that are the problem. They start preaching, their set of fans back them up, the pressure gets to newer fans and slowly over time they get on board with the hate. But the end, everyone who loves the new character, is too afraid to speak up and they either eventually join in with the hate or are silenced. There is a clause for concern for stuff getting old. One example I think of is Rick and Morty, theres undying love for the older seasons, but the newer ones are starting to get rusty. And some fans are not on board that were there at the start. In an extreme, this is leading to no commitment to continue a series, to avoid seasonal rot. So a lot of shows now run 1-5 seasons on purpose. Its not worth continuing a shows licensing as it gets more expensive over time, and instead just make a new one. A new character can be just want a show needs, but its hard to pull off. I've had many a bad experience with fans and honestly... Fans are both the best and worst part of every fandom. They can be encouraging and a blessing, but they can be evil and nasty. They are the art lovers and critics of all media. The best thing to do at times is to do work and not acknowledge them.
I was born in 79 i grew up with Scrappy and the 13 Ghost of Scooby Doo. It was my favorite series actually. As I remember nobody liked Fred or Velma. Somehow Velma is now a goddess and Scrappy is hated? I don't know how happened.
Watched Casey Kasem's version first. Hated the original version when I watched it. But now, when I hear that he killed Velma, I think of how right I was to defend him. Show Mindy who's boss, Scrappy! 😄
I grew up during the Scrappy introduction, seeing the pre-Scrappy shows in syndicated reruns. I never hated Scrappy or blamed his character for the mysteries going away. Season one of Scooby & Scrappy was a continuation of The Scooby-Doo Show, my favorite take on the series, and it's not his fault season two lost the mysteries. Daphne returned the next year but the show still was more comedy based and dragged Daphne and Scrappy along, while 13 Ghosts almost seemed to be afraid of being scary and did things like breaking the fourth wall, weird comedy stories, and bring in the really annoying character of the classic years, Flim Flam! Him I didn't like and still don't. I also liked the toned down Scrappy. He was still feisty without being stupid or a kid. They were going to try to spin him off in the final episode of Scooby & Scrappy season one by visiting his old neighborhood where two dumb crooks kidnap Scooby and Shaggy, with Scrappy and his two friends trying to rescue them (and ending up ruining Scoob and Shag's actual escape attempts) in a backdoor pilot for Scrappy staying in his neighborhood and having his own adventures. Might be a different take if they had succeeded.
I blame the first live-action movie of Scooby-Doo for doing this to poor Scrappy, turning him into a villian for no damn reason nor without an explanation. The film was entertaining but the plot needed serious work!
Always thought Scrappy was a cute character. I'd only seen him in a couple of episodes where it was just him Shaggy and Scooby and I have 2 of the 3 movies, Ghoul School and Reluctant Werewolf on DVD, but really enjoyed his feisty personality when I was a kid. I thought it was odd that he was the villain in the first movie but didn't think much of it and I remember the cameo in Mystery Inc and was like "Wait why". Also, interesting that he's associated with the change in formula from costumed criminals to actual monsters and some had issue with that direction, and yet we have movies like Zombie Island that were well received, guess just a different audience back then.
i feel like most people didnt actually watch the scrappy shows, they just follow the trends. scrappy was indeed awful in the first series, but he became quite ok by the next ones. in 13 ghosts and the movies he was actually a good character. he is treated like a plague now when he ended his run on good feet. people need to actually watch the series and stop giving him hate. retire the character in a dignified manner, ffs.
I always wondered why Scrappy randomly got hated on lol. Man he really was just used and abused. Like can you blame him? 😂 It's times like this I'm glad fictional characters aren't sentient. 🤣 I do appreciate the coincidence though that he again saves the series by killing the new Velma. 😂
Call me crazy and throw me in an asylum but I actually like Scrappy doo and feel like he deserves to be a side kick character again just have to find a good balance with him
Once I did buy into the Scrappy Hate, but nowadays I find that it's so overblown and the repeated joke of Scrappy being a bad charachter got old real quick in my opinion. Adding a new charachter to the gang was never a bad idea, the problem was ultimately how the creators handled it. And that was like three decades ago now so I think new writers are safe to do something new with him. And his orignal charachter left alot of room for potential that should absolutely be explored more now.
Well I know it's late but I won't count the Velma series, that... thing coming from... I even don't know... but I'm french and I remembered seeing Scrappy-Doo series, I especially liked "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" not especially because of Scrappy-Doo but seeing Shaggy and Daphne, well it was a duo we didn't see a lot, in general when the group is seperated, it's Fred/Daphne (Sometimes Velma) and Sometimes Velma/Shaggy/Scooby. And tbh at the very beginning of "Scooby-Doo! Mystery, Inc." I didn't understand the joke with Scrappy Doo, now with Internet, got it ofc but yes as a French, we never saw all these privates jokes about Scrappy Doo, I don't say he was a great character but as far as I remember, I never felt hatred for him and never understand why he's so hated...
I love how everyone agrees he’s actually gone back to being a hero just for killing Velma.
All hail our hero and savior Scrappy doo 🙌
Yes
Here here!
Yeah me and my family used to hate Scrappy Doo but I'm really loving his new character traits: making men uncomfortable in the work place due to potential sexual aggression/territory marking, then eating men's genitals off killing them, invincible, terrorizing military bases, and killing Mindy's self-insert.

I think the reason scrappy was so disliked was with his arrival not only did he slowly take up more of the spot light with his antics but 3 out of 5 of the most important loved characters in the entire fandom, Daphne, velma and fred were slowly pushed to the side.
The fans were most likely outraged at this and blamed it on scrappy’s arrival.
Scrappy was and is an underrated character. If he was introduced better, i doubt he would of gotten as much hate as he did.
I blame James Gunn for ruining Scrappy.
I always thought that scrappy doo hate was weird.
Isn’t he like a 5 year old? (In human years)
Like, he’s a child. Idk what the big deal is
I'm sure after that Velma show.
He is little bit less hated now.
Especially now
I don't think Scrappy deserves the hate he gets.
I'll admit I wasn't fond of him at first, however like you said if Scrappy didn't come into the show, Scooby-Doo might not have been here today.
Scrappy's a hero, always has and always will be in my eyes!
#JusticeforScrappy
Bring Scrappy back
To the vet, to have him deleted
Make him a good guy again in the series.
I mostly remember him from movies like Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School. I liked his character and its a shame hes been reduced to a hate sink.
I loved Scappy I never knew he was hated
Likewise
He was hated alright
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un damn
@@StarKaiser2 Well, I'll put it this way;
When me and my friend watched the show when crappy first appeared in 1979 we despised this new character for ruining our beloved show so much, we'd invent new ways of killing him or how he'd meet his demise.
Kind of like medieval torture meets bad traffic accident stuff.
I guess it would be like Itchy and Scratchy meets Saw
Even drew pictures about it.
Kids can be very creative this way. 💀💀
@@Thenogomogo-zo3un damn that's messed up
mans tryna lace up and box any "ghosts" he sees,he my goat
He's immortalized in the Pokémon franchise with the Scrappy Ability, which basically does allow exactly that, letting a Pokémon with Scrappy punch normally intangible Ghost-type Pokémon. 👻
I've been a Scrappy-Doo Fan ever since I was a small child watching the Cartoons on Boomerang [when that was a thing on TV]. I never get the Hatred or the VItriol for the Pup. However, I'm glad many others have finally came back over to protect him due to him killing the Scooby-Dooless Timeline/Universe.
I feel sorry for him😭😭
I never understood the hate scrappy God because in the show, he was a well meaning in but still headstrong character, but he was still a good guy. He was really only turned into a villain, just so the fans could feel justified in hating him, I feel like it would’ve been better for them to just make small changes to his character rather than just making them evil and mean just for the sake of pleasing the fans.
9:05 Season 2 of Velma awaits!
he killed Velma recently he's no longer hated.
Tbh, I didn't even know Scrappy saved the franchise. It makes the hate he gets even more questionable. But from what I can tell, at this point it's literally just a meme lmao. I for one love Scrappy, and would love for him to get a second chance. Well really third cause his second chance was used to kill Mindy's Velma character and that alone makes him a hero again.
I loved Scrappy growing up and I still do, him being one of my favourites. Once I got to know that people out there hated him- I was shocked. Not to mention him turning up as a villain in the live action film.
I still don't understand why he's hated as a now 27 year old lol.
I am watching this video in bus queue and the person in front of me is wearing Scooby doo shirt 😂😂😂
Hopefully they will make Scrappy Doo a good guy again in future Scooby Doo movies in the series.
I watched some of these old scooby doo cartoons when i was a kid, and honestly i never hated scrappy doo neither today
This is the first time I've heard about it and I really don't understand what the hate is for. I've always liked Scrappy, and even though he played a terrible role in the 2002 live-action movie, he's still one of my favorite characters in the Scooby-Doo series.
Scrappy was my favorite Scooby Doo character as a kid and as I grew up I hated how he was treated by Cartoon Network/Turner and Warner Bros. Making him the villain is the main reason I hate the live action Scooby films and consider them garbage. Scrappy doesn't deserve the hate he got over the three decades. Shane on everyone including the networks and films companies.
He's a hero now for killing the worst thing to ever grace tv..... Velma.
I love scrappy Doo as a character, someone who’s opposite of Scooby-Doo, who hast to push shaggy and Scooby into fights at a new dynamic. The problems come with that second season, where it went from mysteries to a paranormal version of Looney Tunes. I do also like the 13 ghosts and how they used them. I don’t think he deserves crap he gets.
The problen with scrappy is that scrappy doo was a kid that was never allowed to grow or improve. In the old cartoons, from the first to the last appearance, he was the same character. He never changed. He never learned his lesson. He never came to understand the danger he put himself and others in by charging forward whenever presented with a threat. He was never punished.
If Warner Bros. has a heart, they should put Scrappy-Doo in the movie Scoob! 2 either as the villain or only for a short cameo! But there’s one thing I don’t understand, if Warner Bros. hates Scrappy-Doo so much, then why is he in new Scooby-Doo clothing, games and merchandise!?
Maybe he's a scape goat
Scrappy recently became a hero again. He eradicated Velma and I’m all for it 👍
As a kid I liked him. It was a nice contrast to the cowardice of Scooby and Shaggy.
I haven't watched it as an adult. I'm sure his catch phrase would get old. I frankly don't understand the hate. Like it or not, he saved the show.
From savior to villain to savior again
Scrappy-Doo needs redemption for all audiences
He's the hero he killed Mindy
I want Scrappy back in the new animated Scooby-Doo movies, along with the rest of the gang.
Henry Hawk and Scrappy Doo were freaking awesome.
4:20 Sounds like the network killed his character by trying to make the feisty kid docile and cowardly. Typical.
*The Return of the king*
Scrappy was my favorite back when I was little
Scrappy's redemption arc has been 🔥
In cannon he may be a villain but in reality he’s a hero both in the older generation and the newest generation of Scooby doo.
The movie and Cartoon Network commercials ruined Scrappy!!! He was annoying sometimes but he was better than Velma nowadays! He was almost forgotten in the 13 ghosts movie!!! He was not perfect and had flaws but that doesn’t mean he deserved the hate!!!
I always like Scrappy Doo and saw not only all the old show with him but all the old animated movies with him too. When I first saw the live action Scooby Doo film and found out Scrappy was the main villain I was furious. I walk out of the theater feeling betray cause that's like if you made a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action film and all of a sudden Raphael or Splinter became the main villain. It makes no sense.
I always liked Scrappy Doo. I remember kid me being kinda appalled with them making him the main villain of the movie. Dude literally tried to absorb his uncle's soul..
I think the issue with Scrappy is that he's a wrong fix to the stale genre. Watching Billiam, it's clear that after Scrappy became a hit, he immediately became overused to the point of ire. Ironically enough, whenever Scrappy was unlikable, so were Scooby and Shaggy.
Make no mistake, Poochy satirized Scrappy, but in hindsight, he also satirized the network's reactions to such. Getting rid of Scrappy or taking potshots at him doesn't improve anything. It felt like the most desperate attempt to get on with the fans.
If anything, the only reason why the potshots work is because people hated Scrappy. Replace that with Scooby and you can tell that the joke doesn't work very far.
I swear, show the anti-Scrappy jokes to a random guy and they won't get the punchline.
Growing up, I loved scooby doo so much and only found out recently that people hated scrappy doo
I think it was the studio that fanned the flames of this beloved character. I’m also glad people that love the show or acknowledge the hate also don’t think the hate is warranted. I understand people hate changing the formula but this felt more like a ploy for viewers to think they should hate this character. Plus let’s address the elephant in the room. They are willing to constantly hate on this pup as cannon. But it’s not cannon that the gang has met these (Real) monsters more then once. Both in movies, shows, and specials? Why is the live action movie cannon but every other monster encounter irrelevant?
Most of the comments : very recent due to the fact that Scrappy killed Velma in her terrible '' kids '' show. AND I AGREE WITH YOU, HE'S A HERO !!
Since he appeared in 1979, we always hated him.
Was he a villain in Velma though? Was he really?
As a Kid I liked him.
I still like him as adult and still don't understand the hate, well I do, but its hard to explain what I mean so I won't try. In my case, I just separate his seasons and series from the older stuff and go "this is product A and that is Product B" and take things as they are. By separating the two things, I don't see the issues as bad as they are. Sure, the change happened but change happens. You either adapt things or you just have to switch off.
I've seen the same thing happen, like in the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. Silver is the Scrappy Doo of that fandom. Most of the hate, however, is linked to Sonic 2006 for the most part. I happened to Aang and Korra in Avatar.
The problem is a lot of the fans enjoy a show, the dedicated fans stick around to the end. Over time a show gets refined and a new character can revive a series because this 9/10 of the time results in stagnation. The character results in a overhaul to the show. This brings in new fans, who like the new format and have no love of older ones. However, its the love by older fans of the original format that are the problem. They start preaching, their set of fans back them up, the pressure gets to newer fans and slowly over time they get on board with the hate. But the end, everyone who loves the new character, is too afraid to speak up and they either eventually join in with the hate or are silenced.
There is a clause for concern for stuff getting old. One example I think of is Rick and Morty, theres undying love for the older seasons, but the newer ones are starting to get rusty. And some fans are not on board that were there at the start. In an extreme, this is leading to no commitment to continue a series, to avoid seasonal rot. So a lot of shows now run 1-5 seasons on purpose. Its not worth continuing a shows licensing as it gets more expensive over time, and instead just make a new one. A new character can be just want a show needs, but its hard to pull off.
I've had many a bad experience with fans and honestly... Fans are both the best and worst part of every fandom. They can be encouraging and a blessing, but they can be evil and nasty. They are the art lovers and critics of all media. The best thing to do at times is to do work and not acknowledge them.
I was born in 79 i grew up with Scrappy and the 13 Ghost of Scooby Doo. It was my favorite series actually. As I remember nobody liked Fred or Velma. Somehow Velma is now a goddess and Scrappy is hated? I don't know how happened.
Watched Casey Kasem's version first. Hated the original version when I watched it. But now, when I hear that he killed Velma, I think of how right I was to defend him. Show Mindy who's boss, Scrappy! 😄
With how season 2 of Velma ended. As JJJ said. He was a hero.. we just couldn't see it.
I grew up during the Scrappy introduction, seeing the pre-Scrappy shows in syndicated reruns. I never hated Scrappy or blamed his character for the mysteries going away. Season one of Scooby & Scrappy was a continuation of The Scooby-Doo Show, my favorite take on the series, and it's not his fault season two lost the mysteries. Daphne returned the next year but the show still was more comedy based and dragged Daphne and Scrappy along, while 13 Ghosts almost seemed to be afraid of being scary and did things like breaking the fourth wall, weird comedy stories, and bring in the really annoying character of the classic years, Flim Flam! Him I didn't like and still don't.
I also liked the toned down Scrappy. He was still feisty without being stupid or a kid. They were going to try to spin him off in the final episode of Scooby & Scrappy season one by visiting his old neighborhood where two dumb crooks kidnap Scooby and Shaggy, with Scrappy and his two friends trying to rescue them (and ending up ruining Scoob and Shag's actual escape attempts) in a backdoor pilot for Scrappy staying in his neighborhood and having his own adventures. Might be a different take if they had succeeded.
I'm 39y, as a kid I absolutely hated him! Getting himself into trouble and had to be stopped by the other members all the time.
Overall, in this day and age of confusion, Scrappy-Doo deserves a second chance, and today's independent animators can give that to him.
I honestly dont get the hate for Scrappy Doo
I blame the first live-action movie of Scooby-Doo for doing this to poor Scrappy, turning him into a villian for no damn reason nor without an explanation. The film was entertaining but the plot needed serious work!
Grogu from Star Wars is the new Scrappy-Doo
Always thought Scrappy was a cute character. I'd only seen him in a couple of episodes where it was just him Shaggy and Scooby and I have 2 of the 3 movies, Ghoul School and Reluctant Werewolf on DVD, but really enjoyed his feisty personality when I was a kid. I thought it was odd that he was the villain in the first movie but didn't think much of it and I remember the cameo in Mystery Inc and was like "Wait why".
Also, interesting that he's associated with the change in formula from costumed criminals to actual monsters and some had issue with that direction, and yet we have movies like Zombie Island that were well received, guess just a different audience back then.
I’ve always liked Scrappy-Doo.
i feel like most people didnt actually watch the scrappy shows, they just follow the trends.
scrappy was indeed awful in the first series, but he became quite ok by the next ones. in 13 ghosts and the movies he was actually a good character.
he is treated like a plague now when he ended his run on good feet.
people need to actually watch the series and stop giving him hate.
retire the character in a dignified manner, ffs.
I bet Scooby was actually the the Father of Scrappy
I always wondered why Scrappy randomly got hated on lol. Man he really was just used and abused. Like can you blame him? 😂 It's times like this I'm glad fictional characters aren't sentient. 🤣
I do appreciate the coincidence though that he again saves the series by killing the new Velma. 😂
I swear scrappy is close to becoming a mandela effect.
Call me crazy and throw me in an asylum but I actually like Scrappy doo and feel like he deserves to be a side kick character again just have to find a good balance with him
Scrappy-Doo is more a Savior and never a villain I like Scrappy-Doo he a fighter and a cute puppy
Once I did buy into the Scrappy Hate, but nowadays I find that it's so overblown and the repeated joke of Scrappy being a bad charachter got old real quick in my opinion. Adding a new charachter to the gang was never a bad idea, the problem was ultimately how the creators handled it. And that was like three decades ago now so I think new writers are safe to do something new with him. And his orignal charachter left alot of room for potential that should absolutely be explored more now.
70s kid here - we never asked for "scrap of doo" - he came in from nowhere to insult shaggy and scooby and ruin the dynamic of the show.
I love scrappy.
Well I know it's late but I won't count the Velma series, that... thing coming from... I even don't know... but I'm french and I remembered seeing Scrappy-Doo series, I especially liked "The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show" not especially because of Scrappy-Doo but seeing Shaggy and Daphne, well it was a duo we didn't see a lot, in general when the group is seperated, it's Fred/Daphne (Sometimes Velma) and Sometimes Velma/Shaggy/Scooby.
And tbh at the very beginning of "Scooby-Doo! Mystery, Inc." I didn't understand the joke with Scrappy Doo, now with Internet, got it ofc but yes as a French, we never saw all these privates jokes about Scrappy Doo, I don't say he was a great character but as far as I remember, I never felt hatred for him and never understand why he's so hated...
I always think Scrappy Doo was awesome. I really didn't like when they make him a bad guy or when they broke up the team.
Wow I never knew Daphne was favored over Fred and Velma this much!
Scrappy was underrated 😢, Modern Velma was the annoying one 😡
And now a hero again
Scrappy and Slimer are interchangeable.
He is a hero now. 💀
They actually made Scrappy the main villain in Velma season 2
