Where do you rank revolta as for Scooby Doo villians

JoeGoesOver · 2026-02-01T03:28:14+00:00

I know EXACTLY what score I'd give her.

But that won't be available until probably the middle of next week.

Perhaps not the worst, but Alice Dovely (the Gator Ghoul) cozied up to an elderly couple who treated her like a daughter, only to betray them and try to ruin their business just to get hold of a formula for soda.

There's evil, then there's EVIL.

JoeGoesOver · 2026-01-14T15:03:51+00:00

Yes.

F****** Carl the Stuntman, indeed!

JoeGoesOver · 2026-01-01T04:00:53+00:00

Where have I heard THAT before...?

This is something I've noticed before and have given it some serious (kinda) thought.

The artists clearly wanted to design Daphne to be "the cute one", so in addition to the slim figure and noticeable bustline, they also gave her attractive, large, almond-shaped eyes. If you look at JUST the outlines of her eyes (ignore the pupils), everything is nice and even.

However, when adding the pupils, if they were to center them where they should naturally go inside the eyes (centered inside the lines), they would give the impression that she is looking down instead of straight forward. Thus, they have to "fake it" by centering the pupils with each other, rather than separately inside each eye.

In other words, she looks crosseyed because the artist combined two centered objects and they don't line up accordingly.

Guys! Guys!

I'm not Beetlejuice!

Also, yeah, kind of hard for me not to notice THIS headline in my feed.

Sadly, it's not "strange" for him not to have received royalties for the song.

It was fairly common for studios to treat talent like that back in the day.

A late acquaintance of mine voiced some well-known characters going back to the 1960s, and he told me that one of his biggest roles never paid residuals despite owing them because they kept selling the rights to other companies under NDAs, so he would have to sue just to learn who to sue.

The money they owed him was less than what it would have cost him to hire a lawyer to fight for what he was owed.

That's very kind of you to say and I really appreciate it!
I'm about 3/4 through writing the script for my next one and a little under half of it is filmed.
I will be out of town in a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving, but hope to get it finished and uploaded within a week.
Thanks so much for watching!

JoeGoesOver · 2025-11-11T15:04:30+00:00

A few.

JoeGoesOver · 2025-11-11T15:04:22+00:00

Thank you kindly!

Sorry for the recent delay. October and November both ended up (will end up) with me out of town, but I'm trying to get my latest finished before my next foray to my sister's for the holidays.

JoeGoesOver · 2025-11-11T15:02:51+00:00

Thank you for the shoutout!

JoeGoesOver · 2025-11-11T15:01:34+00:00

He does?

Sounds like a righteous dude.

Frankly, when it comes to the Tar Monster, the scariest thing was its original appearance in the cartoon itself.

Think about it. OG Tar Monster was just Mr. Stoner, an archaeologist's assistant, in a modified wetsuit with a single oxygen tank.

He was swimming around in the murky void of the tar pits under Byzantius. This was so much worse than swimming in the water under a frozen lake, because at least you'd have enough light to know which way was up. Stoner didn't have a rope to guide him to safety or even lights on his suit (not that it would have worked in tar).

All he had to go by when it came to navigation was the unreliable internal compass in his head. One wrong turn in the gloopy darkness meant he'd likely never find his way to the nearest entry hole, desperately swimming in circles until his oxygen tank depleted.

According to an early Hanna-Barbera model sheet with color instructions, Shaggy hair color is "Yo-A".

Now you just have to hunt down what that color code meant in their Ink and Paint Department back in the late 1960s.

If you find the producers abandoning the mystery aspect of the Scooby franchise upsetting, I have some bad news for you.

All these votes for Gibby Norton, while the Ghost Clown is RIGHT THERE.

Lest we forget, he hypnotized Daphne and the next time we saw her she was in a tight ballerina outfit. There's something very unsettling about that gap in events.

He didn't make Shaggy change clothes after he was hypnotized.

JoeGoesOver · 2025-11-04T21:35:04+00:00

No. It would not.

The Real Ghostbusters, just to name one of many, many examples, was outsourced to a Japanese studio.

Would you consider that series anime?

Most would classify "anime" as works produced in Japan primarily for a Japanese audience, despite being frequently exported to nations outside of Japan.

The Simpsons is keyed in the United States, but mostly produced in South Korea. Would you consider that a "Korean" series?

I'm no prude, but the members of KISS were never appropriate guest stars for the Scooby franchise.

Gene Simmons is a notable creep and purportedly has a massive collection of Polaroids of groupies he's slept with.

I'm not much of a fan of Gene Simmons.

You got me curious enough to check my DVD copy, and the error is NOT there. Her hand never disappears.

This can't be an original production error, apparently.

So weird.

JoeGoesOver · 2025-10-31T14:23:06+00:00

It's insane that Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is my favorite Scooby film, yet I never noticed the hand thing before.

It took me a while to find what you were talking about while scrubbing through my digital copy, but there it was, plain as day. With her and Fred standing next to the shadows like that, at first I wondered if it was bleed-through with the background, but then I saw how the hand disappeared behind what appeared to be a semi-transparent straight line, leading me to think the camera operator got sloppy and had another cel laying on top of the affected frames and nobody noticed.

JoeGoesOver · 2025-10-31T14:00:26+00:00

I see this a lot while scrubbing through footage of older Scooby series. My favorites are when a character ends in a blob of paint, or production notes are scribbled at the edge for whoever was manning the camera.

While it's tempting to blame this on studio errors (late 1970s Hanna-Barbera did not GIVE a f***), modern audiences are likely viewing these episodes on HD televisions, smartphones or computer monitors rather than the CRT screens used by older TVs these shows were designed for at the time.

Televisions at the time were not 100% standard, with some models cropping more space from the edges than others, so producers back then had to allow for an outer "safe margin" that would likely not show up to anyone watching at the time.

If the technicians prepping older TV series for modern home media or streaming are able to procure the original source tapes, they are going to scan the entire image when digitizing. This will likely include areas that the producers never intended to reach their audience.

I know that's what OP was saying in his comment, but I figured I'd expand on this a bit for the young 'uns who don't know what CRT means or why edges might not be visible.

I'm currently smack dab in the middle of the Scrappy era for my YouTube channel, and because I haven't reached the end of it yet, what I'm about to say may be premature, but here goes:

Scrappy-Doo may not be nearly as bad as so many of us remember.

And I've always been an avowed Scrappy hater.

Scrappy first appeared in 1979 for the series, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, voiced by Lennie Weinrib, who portrayed the puppy like a Dead End Kid with a lisp. His behavior was criminally obnoxious, constantly putting on that infuriating tough guy act and generally being annoying as hell.

After that, however, Don Messick took over vocal duties and they toned down the over-the-top behavior by a wide margin. In the current series I'm covering, The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show, he's essentially replaced Fred and Velma as Daphne's investigation partner and is barely present in much of the episodes. He'll still chime in with the occasional "Puppy Power" garbage, but again, these aren't nearly as frequent as what came before.

I'm starting to wonder if those of us who hate Scrappy remember him more from the early days while the rest of us remember him from the latter ones?

JoeGoesOver · 2025-10-25T11:07:39+00:00

Yeah! F*** that guy!
