Shared universe cuddie
They commited the Birds Of Prey mistake of naming it as something that doesn't fit with the main theme of the movie.
Scoob should have been called Hannah Barbera's & co
They wanted the shared universe money but neither thought of what would make sense nor developed it organically.
My question is why did they fuck up Casey casem's memory by letting shaggy eat meat, AND fuck up Shaggy's voice where it doesn't sound even remotely similar to his other incarnations?
Because he's dead and this is another incarnation of Shaggy.
I know he's dead, but Mathew Lillard is and has been a GREAT replacement. And shaggy not being vegetarian is slap in the face to his character.
They could've started with a wacky races
They wanted a cinematic universe without understanding how to build one. Also they fundamentally misunderstand Scooby Doo.
Shaggy ate a fucking ton of meat and sandwiches in the old show
>They commited the Birds Of Prey mistake
Still better than BoP, because they made Scooby the "chosen one" made him relevant to the plot. No matter what the story needed him.
In BoP there was no special reason it had to be Harley to get the macguffin.
>And shaggy not being vegetarian is slap in the face to his character.
What?
I grew up (ages ago) with Shaggy looting spook-house refrigerators and pantries and making huge Dagwood sandwiches.
So a voice actor gets to retroactively decide that every random crazy person had meatless meat product stocked in their house?
I call bullshit. BULLSHIT!
I had a conversation with a friend about this; a wacky races movie would've been a way better and more organic way to introduce your key players and get zoomers to learn who the fuck these characters are. The only reason they used Scooby Doo first was probably cause that's the only HB property that anyone remembers.
The annoying thing with attempts at shared universes is that they try to establish too much in the first movie. All they need to do is make a Scooby movie, maybe keep Dick Dastardly as the villain, then do a Nick Fury-esque thing at the end and introduce Blue Falcon. Then do a Blue Falcon movie and set up a Captain Caveman movie. Focus on the main character and set up the next one.
Look at this zoomer fag pretending to know Scooby-Doo!
>Then do a Blue Falcon movie and set up a Captain Caveman movie.
Yeah, no one is going to see those movies.
He's been a vegetarian longer. I'm just saying it's a betrayal. It would be like Superman making blog posts for the Huffington Post. It doesn't destroy the character, but it goes against long-standing rules that aren't small enough to care too much about, but aren't significant enough to make the incarnation of the character interesting. Same with the voice. It's annoying and shows that they don't really care.
Crazy person ['vegitarian']
Seems legit
>then do a Nick Fury-esque thing at the end and introduce Blue Falcon.
No. It's way to cheap. "I'm assembling a team" tacked on at the end is horrible.
I'd see a captain caveman movie. Tracey Morgan was way better with this role than he was with his fox in the green eggs
I think it's because Captain Caveman is just a more fun character. And just great hearing him scream his name
>In 2016, Warner Bros. announced the film Scoob was in the works, based on the classic Scooby-Doo property. The film, originally scheduled for release in September 2018 but later pushed back to 2020, is intended to be the first installment of a Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe. The studio is also developing films based on The Jetsons (with Conrad Vernon set to direct and Matt Lieberman writing the screenplay), The Flintstones, and Wacky Races.
Who is excited for more Hanna-Barbera kino?
Scooby was always a shared universe, you faggots forgot the show Mystery Incorporated, because you're just too young, dumb, and full of cum to know anything about Scooby-Doo. He also had a fucking show where he met, Batman and Robin, then another week the Harlem Globe Trotters, then the Addams Family, then the Three Stooges, then fucking Speed Buggy, then had encounters with Blue Falcon and Dinomutt and had an entire series where half the episodes featured segments starring Blue Falcon and Dinomutt.

>The characters from Harlem Globetrotters, Josie and the Pussycats, Jeannie, and Speed Buggy all appeared on the show during or after their own shows' original runs; The Addams Family and Batman and Robin both appeared on the show a year before they were incorporated into Hanna-Barbera shows of their own, The Addams Family and Super Friends, respectively.[5] Many of the supporting voice roles were done by several celebrities who were famous elsewhere, such as Don Adams (Get Smart).
Been nice if he'd try to do a voice other than just being Tracy Morgan
Dinomutt is still a massive failing of the movie. Because he didn't act like Dinomutt. Just some shit not even attempting to do a voice. Like a lot of the fucks in this film.
yeah but you have to build a shared universe naturally and fit characters in that fit the overall story you're telling. That's where MCU has gone right but these other attempts have failed. Why put Blue Falcon in a Scooby movie? Why not have something like Johnny Quest characters or something?
They don't hire Tracy Morgan to make him not sound like Tracy Morgan. What's the point in hiring him not sound like himself? You could have hired anybody then, and for less money.
True. Especially considering captain caveman man has a lot of "ungah bungah" and other caveman mannerisms when he talks.
Him talking normal ruins the straight man joke of captain caveman kid being normal.
I liked it better when Blue Falcon was TDKR Batman and Dynomutt was regular Dynomutt
Maybe that was his dad
Which is cool. But even Dexter's Lab show us you don't try to "Improve" Dynomutt.
Making him anything other than a goofball ruins the character.
Damn I wanted that snarky shit to shut up.
He could have done both roles and that would have been funny.
>Blue Falcon in a Scooby movie
Because he originated in Scooby Doo. Check out the wiki page.

>Dynomutt, Dog Wonder is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions that aired on ABC from 1976 to 1977.[1] The show centers on a Batman-esque superhero, the Blue Falcon, and his assistant, bumbling yet generally effective robot dog Dynomutt, a robotic dog who can produce a seemingly infinite number of mechanical devices from his body.[2] As with many other animated superheroes of the era, no origins for the characters are ever provided.
Dynomutt was originally broadcast as a half-hour segment of The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour (1976–77), and a quarter-hour segment of its later expanded form Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics (1977–78); it would later be rerun and syndicated on its own from 1978 on. The cast of The Scooby-Doo Show appeared as recurring characters on Dynomutt, assisting the Daring Duo in cracking their crimes.
He's a character who began as a Scooby segment and often crossed over.
Speaking of Dexter's Lab, what are the chances that CN characters will appear in the HBCU? Their first 5 shows (Dexter, Johnny Bravo, C&C, Weasel, PPG) were made by Hanna-Barbera Studios.
