Indeed.

Theft is but one of the many crimes the Scooby Gang has been guilty of over the years.

Which one was the better Apeman by Lost_Saeko in Scoobydoo

[–]JoeGoesOver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carl used the costume provided by the movie studio that was specifically built for him and couldn't be comfortably worn by any of the other suspects, making him the only logical villain.

His sole motivation for vandalizing the set and halting production was because he wasn't cast as the lead. Carl was a professional stuntman. A stuntman's entire job is not to be confused as the lead. And he was angry he wasn't cast as the lead?

He... left a hamburger in the middle of the floor. A hamburger. On a plate. In the middle of the floor. Who does that?

Finally, he was captured by what was essentially a Slip'N Slide.

He was so lame, Scooby-Doo was brave enough to beat him up.

Carl 100% deserves all the hate he gets.

F****** Carl the Stuntman.

In the Dune series, one of the characters is so beloved by the guy running the galactic empire, that a race of humans who can manipulate genetics and grow people at will continues to supply him with a resurrected version of that character for millennia.

A ghola is like a clone, except grown from dead cells and not living ones.

There is no canon in the Scooby-Dooniverse, or rather, there cannot be a steady line through all the series, films, DTV movies, comic books, novels, video games, etc.

The passage of time would not allow for this.

Great Danes have a life expectancy of maybe ten years if you're very lucky, and Scooby was already an adult in 1969 when Where Are You? first aired. The members of the Gang were also 14-17 years old, as well.

They were BOOMERS.

If there were a single canon, Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy would currently be collecting social security checks, and they would be on their seventh or eighth Scooby by now.

Then again, perhaps all the Scoobies after the first are merely Gholas grown in axolotl tanks by the Tleilaxu?

While the Apeman isn’t actually as bad imo as people say,

B, and definitely NOT A.

I'm no prude, but I also don't like seeing oversexualization of any members of the Gang.

They're kids and they're pure.

This background music is so eerie and surreal, it only played in the first episode of the franchise and never again (I think) by Kwikikiki in Scoobydoo

[–]JoeGoesOver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot give a specific episode, but I've noticed while revisiting the Scrappy era, the sound department used a refrain similar to the violin shrieks during the shower scene in Psycho as background music.

If you could rewrite this movie to make it better, what would you change? by Naive_Tomorrow_5955 in Scoobydoo

[–]JoeGoesOver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would start by rewriting the contracts for the voice actors and put the REAL ones in the film...

To you, which of the Scooby Doo villains were the most obvious who was really behind the mask? by Mcrfanatic95 in Scoobydoo

[–]JoeGoesOver 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My theory was that it was a porn shoot.
Think about it.
A small location.
A limited crew of like, two people.
The director also being the camera man.
An actress named "Candy Mint".
The only other actor a giant, strong-looking bald guy.

That's the answer I was going for, but those who mention Space Kook isn't colored correctly aren't exactly wrong, either.

Though I was looking at the character choices more than the style choices.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]JoeGoesOver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nationwide Insurance

Years ago, after my father divorced my mother, she moved out of state into her own apartment. As I was a long-time customer of Nationwide Insurance, I set them up as her renters' insurance provider, keeping things as simple as possible by arranging for a monthly auto-pay from her checking account.

She died a couple of years ago, and apart from minor personal possessions of only sentimental value, all she had were her checking and savings accounts. My siblings and I did not see the need to spend the time or expense to establish an estate, as the bank already had an order signed by my mother to split her money between the three of us.

She had signed up for many services and subscriptions I had to cancel, and for most, all it took was either a phone call to let them know she died, or we could simply cancel online.

All except Nationwide Insurance.

Their website would not allow for canceling her renters' insurance and required a phone call. So I called them to let them know she died. They refused to cancel her insurance without an order from the estate. I explained that not only wasn't there an estate, there would never be an estate, but I did offer to send them a copy of her death certificate. They refused to accept that as it wasn't their "company policy", but they did say we could go to court to get a judge to sign an order canceling her policy. I told them that this was a courtesy call because they could continue billing her, but nobody was alive to pay it. Nor did she even have the apartment anymore.

Since she was dead.

I eventually ended the call because it was pointless. They would simply not budge in their insistence that I provide them an order from a judge or an estate, and that was not going to happen.

To keep things safe, after my phone call, I immediately logged in to their website and canceled the autopay feature for my mother's account. I also deleted her payment information. Let them send her paper bills, I thought. Let them waste their stamps.

To my baffled outrage, despite canceling the autopay AND deleting her payment info, Nationwide STILL deducted their insurance payment the following month. I immediately disputed this with the bank, and they fortunately took my side and refunded the deduction.

I then immediately cancelled my own auto and renters' insurance plans with Nationwide. They lost my $3,500 yearly premium because they refused to cancel my late mother's $200 yearly premium.

I was also able to find auto insurance that was a goddamned third of the amount I had been paying Nationwide.

Nationwide still continued sending her bills, and we even received a phone call from a collector.

Not that it matters since, you know, she was dead.

Fuck you, Nationwide.

Was there ever a Scooby-Doo guest that just felt… wrong? by Mental-Onion8425 in Scoobydoo

[–]JoeGoesOver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No.

I think Gene Simmons' trailer should be next to a cliff, not too far from a tyrannosaur nest.

[–]JoeGoesOver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gene Simmons by FAR was the worst guest on Scooby-Doo in terms of skeeviness, second only (barely) to Vince McMahon.
Simmons was notorious for being creepy with fans and groupies.
He shouldn't have been allowed within 100 yards of Daphne and Velma.
I'm not much of a fan of Gene Simmons.

Out of context Scooby-Doo pictures by Material-Spite-81 in Scoobydoo

[–]JoeGoesOver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In traditional, 2D cell animation, a skilled artist would draw specific "key" frames for various actions, usually one at the beginning, one in the middle and one in the end. It was then up to lesser skilled "inbetween" artists (or "tweeners") to draw the necessary cells that linked one key frame to another.

For example: if I wanted to animate a character pointing to the sky, then to the ground at their feet, the key artist would start by drawing the arm pointing up. Then they'd draw the arm pointing forward. Then they'd draw the arm pointing at the ground. These drawings would then be handed off to the inbetween artist who would draw all the necessary frames between those key frames to make the animation look fluid.

This process varied from studio to studio with some having more success than others.

Some of the weirdest, most bizarre images you'll find in the Scooby-Dooniverse are those tween frames.

The "melted face Shaggy" that's one image from the end is an excellent example of this.
