Film Theory: Scooby Doo is an Alien?!

and now gang we'll find out who was really behind the appearances at YouTube HQ wait gang I think this is another mask yeah no big no wait wait jinkies how many of these things are there , okay, I think this is the last one. one of the real people behind the apparitions who liked YouTube HQ commented and jailed Hello Internet, welcome to Film Theory, the show inspired by Velma's incredible ability to rationalize any supernatural event. The simple fact is that monsters are nothing more than criminals and masks, usually unscrupulous real estate developers. A little over a year ago I did my first episode of Scooby-Doo in which I tried to calculate Shaggy's power level and if Ultra Instinct Shaggy was actually some kind of super saiyan.

Remember that meme that lasted like a week. Anyway, good times in my research for In That Episode, I've watched entire generations of new Scooby-Doo episodes, not just the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You?, not just the new Scooby-Doo ones or heck, not even just the new Scooby-Doo movies, but all the Scooby-Doo movies. doo generations let me reiterate that all generations and that my friends are no small feat

-doo is a cannon of 14 series and 36 movies that spans 51 years, went crazy and boy, that crash course through half a century of cartoon can and a wake up call for four years I just assumed that furry Scooby, the gang, were living the same Sisyphus note, Meryl's time driving from city to city and a barely functional van forced to solve spooky mysteries that always They always amount to a guy in a really convincing rubber mask with too much special effects technology in his hands and what does the gang get for all their hard work?

Nothing, maybe a sandwich if they're lucky, except that time Scooby got a chest full of Confederates. money Fred and Daphne are in a will, they won't, their relationship Shaggy's romantic interests fluctuate between Velma and Scooby as a dog insert crazy guest star here sorry Batman, sometimes they run away, the dish is a natural response to the unknown, can we help you kids? I wasn't entirely wrong, but I was enjoying this franchise. I was surprised to learn that over those 51 years, those fourteen series, and those thirty-six spin-off

film

s, there's actually a Scooby-Doo complex appeal here, no joke, much earlier.

In the MCU there was the SDU, it might be easy to assume that each iteration of Scooby-Doo is completely separate from all the previous ones because it helps to understand a cartoon, who is putting in so much effort? But really, the teams behind these. The shows seem to be taking a lot of care with the long, long history of this series, to the point that all of the franchise's movies and everything can basically be boiled down to two self-consistent timelines, well, two and a half if we're completely accurate. At least that's my

theory

today anyway, so with the new movie coming out later this week looking to set up a prequel story that I guarantee will burn this

theory

to the ground, I guess our new movie is an origin story that at least I can understand.

The video is out now before I completely ruin all my research, so before I start putting things into timelines, let me lay out the main pieces first and, most importantly, let's get the biggest one out of the way. Scooby-Doo is an

alien

period. End of sentence. that's a hundred percent canon fact and I'm not even going overboard in the slightest on the recent Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated series, whose surprisingly heavy story for a Scooby show, we learn about the Anunnaki, an ancient god-like

alien

race coming to Earth every In a few thousand years, the Anunnaki have no physical forms, so the Anunnaki, forced to possess animal bodies, have a great history of helping humans, but we have no physical form and must inhabit animals.

This is why some animals, our descendants, can speak and others cannot, if we know of any animal in this series that is capable of speaking or being understood by humans, we can reasonably assume that individual is an extraterrestrial descendant, which is why Scooby-Doo can talk, he's got a damn lien, genes, heart, also explains one. of his iconic lines, so that's the number one big reveal about this series, its history and we're just getting started, the mysterious series Incorporated also introduces us to the canonized concept of a Scooby multiverse in the final episode of this particularly interesting run.

Scooby and his friends help defeat an evil Anunnaki who has been trapped on Earth to try to escape this Force. He has been gathering and manipulating mysterious teams over the centuries to try to be freed, with the Scooby Gang being his newest group of children once this evil entity is destroyed, however, all of Scooby. The world is destroyed along with him, launching the main mysterious gang into a new existence. The same hometown of his, Crystal Cove, but with everything slightly different. Shaggy is no longer a slacker but a great chef. Velma is an academic champion, but perhaps most impactful of all is Fred. and Daphne are engaged.

I know why everything is different. We destroyed the entity and when we destroyed it it was as if it never existed. By destroying the evil entity we create a completely different timeline. Our actions created a better world where we all have normal, productive lives. that right off the bat takes us to two separate timelines, the same Scooby Gang taking place in two branches of the multiverse, the next big thing we need to talk about is the monsters themselves, the vast majority of shows recycled the same twist , there was no Ghost Man was the real monster all along, that was the formula for decades for the TV show at least, and yet for some strange reason, most movies like 1987's Scooby-Doo meets Boober from and most Scooby-Doo direct-to-video movies like Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island has the gang encountering real-life supernatural creatures.

A very select few of the series had this, as well as the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, the Scooby Mystery Show, and Scrappy Incorporated, where again the ghosts and the boogie men. They are actually real supernatural creatures when I first came across these outliers I was happy to write them off because they took place in a totally different universe in a universe the ghosts are fake the mystery gang always takes off a mask and everyone is happy and the other ghosts are a real threat and we should all be terrified of the retribution that the undead will deliver to us this is where things get weird and many of the ghosts are real iterations shaggy wears a red shirt red shirt different universe obviously okay now That might seem like an exaggeration, and it usually would be, but there's actually more to Shaggy's costume changes than what's seen in the 2001 direct-to-DVD movie Scooby-Doo and the cyber chase that the Scooby Gang goes into. a Scooby-based video game world complete with digital technology.

Doppelgangers and what Shaggy's digital form looks like, big deal with the red shirt, it's just a physical color change to differentiate him from the real Shaggy, except that's not the case. Look closer and you start to see that the shirt isn't the only thing different. Shaggy's digital form, his eyes are also different and not just different, they are exactly the same as how they were drawn during those 80s era centric

scooby

-doo episodes, just like all the ghosts and Ghoulies from scooby-doo and the 13 Ghosts and The Scooby and the Scrappy Show episodes have taken place in a digital simulation to be sure we have to start putting this all together.

The first thing that happens chronologically is the birth of Scooby-Doo in 1969. This is according to a fake document that Velma used to claim Scooby as a service dog in the movie Legend of the Ghost, which, interestingly, was the same movie where Ultra Instinct Shaggy had his origin, so across the board it's probably the most important piece of Scooby-Doo related media to ever appear. half a century, can't tell if I'm exaggerating or not, the rest of the gang was probably Morna around the same time due to Scooby's Annunaki heritage, he actually ages at a rate closer to that of a normal human, about ten years after.

At birth, he is still very much a puppy for the events of the first series chronologically in the ninth overall series of the franchise a puppy named Scooby-Doo will be released alongside the

film

which was set in the same time period in a mystery map in the In the first episode of the series, we see the gang already together solving mysteries in their hometown of Coolsville, USA, under the name of the Scooby-Doo detective agency. This series leads directly into the original series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and its many consequences. new scooby-doo movies where they hang out with celebrities before ending the scooby-doo show and with that we come to the darkest period of scrappy-doo, Scooby's nephew, who was deemed too independent by the censors, which apparently it's a bad thing. to teach children well at the time when he was popular enough to help prevent the Scooby franchise from being cancelled, he has since become the most hated television companion of all time, even by the creators of themselves.

Scooby-Doo will only allow references to him to the extent that they poke fun at how bad he was. Unlike previous incarnations of the series, this new version focuses on dealing with real monsters and real supernatural threats instead of the typical hidden villain. under a mask, but oh, in a series that only focuses on real-life criminals. Supernatural forces suddenly appear out of nowhere in this world. Clearly, there had to be something that caused this shift in the world from Scoobies' classic technological horror to Scoobies' modern paranormal scares. The answer actually lies in a crossover episode that would happen three decades ago. after scrappy was first introduced, a crossover of supernatural proportions because it crosses over with the show Supernatural Now, if you're not familiar with Supernatural, it's about you guessed it, the supernatural and two paranormal hunters in the season episode 13, natural Scooby, something incredible happens to both of them.

The Supernatural Universe and Scooby-Doo is when the two brothers Sam and Dean from Supernatural collide and get sucked into the world of Scooby-Doo along with their angel friend Cass, but this is where things get really crazy, you see, no They're just sucked into the world of Scooby-Doo, they're sucked into an actual episode of the show, specifically episode 16 titled A Fright Night Is Not a Delight, which when it first aired ended with the reveal of the typical bad guy with a mask, however, which was shown in this crossover. is that the supernatural guys accidentally opened up the Scooby Doo universe to real paranormal powers.

Going into the TV show, a ghost was allowed to result in the two hunters chasing a real ghost throughout an episode where there weren't any ghosts in the meantime to begin with. The mysterious Yang remains oblivious to the whole thing at the end of the episode, the Winchester brothers managing to convince the Scooby Gang that it has all been elaborate tricks and gadgets before that, although the mysterious gang receives a small wake-up call from the vampires Cass. I thought I was blind without my glasses, but I was simply blind, which means that the supernatural elements of Scooby may have been brought into his universe by the supernatural team when they chased a ghost in the cartoon, which explains how the later series in the timeline with Scrappy-Doo In the series and the 13 Scooby-Doo ghosts that follow it, we have supernatural beings suddenly present out of nowhere in the Canon, what it doesn't explain is that Velma and Fred don't know who Scrappy is.

Oh, I guess the whole gang is here except Scrappy. What's a Scrappy, sure they didn't share that many episodes together, but that first season Scrappy showed up and had the whole gang together for several episodes, he also had really terrible animation for all those episodes, I mean look how Shaggy looks like if they had put it. Through the shelf it must have been a gas leak season or, as we established above, it had to have been in the video game simulation. As crazy as it sounds, it actually makes sense, the first season with Scrappy literally sees the gang week after week going to Britain. to Egyptian-inspired locations, California, New York, even places as remote as Greece, which, if you don't know, are exactly the types of exotic levels we see the gang go through while trapped in the Scooby simulation video game .

Doo and the cyber chase, so look on the bright side, all you haters, one of yourFull seasons don't even count because everything took place in a computer simulation of that season along with at least three movies: Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers. You are Scooby-Doo Ghost Exterminators at Ghoul School and Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf don't count at this point, so we have to remember our mathematical timeline from the beginning to the beginning of our second alternative. universe the mystery incorporated universe you see televisions in the world of mystery incorporated still use a standard four-by-three broadcast ratio that began to go out of style in the mid-90s and would have become surprisingly obsolete by the time mr.

Inc actually aired in 2010, meaning that this show was not meant to take place at the same time as the show aired, but rather sometime in the '80s and '90s, due to the gang returning to the high school, it will most likely take place in the 80s, except this time around all the mysteries of the other timeline have already been solved the first episode of the series begins with Velma giving a tour of the Enchanted museum and it is a who's who full of winks to all the classic scooby-doo monsters where you are, not me, they all turned out to be fake, that's not the case, although we see the ghost of moon from the live action Scooby-Doo movie, like this like references to Scrappy-Doo and we never talked about him again, we all promised each other we would never talk about him again. don't talk about himSo why wouldn't this be connected in some way to our main timeline?

Because they don't believe in real ghosts, they win in the main timeline at this point, they have seen many of them being born and raised in a new city. The city of this is Crystal Cove unlike Coolsville USA and they see that they do not recognize Vincent van ghoul, the magician who served as their guide throughout the 13 ghosts of Scooby-Doo and its spin-off film, the curse of ghost number 13, it's a paradox that can only be resolved through a separate timeline at the end of the series, as I mentioned earlier, the team is sent to a new timeline where the supernatural entity never existed in the first place when Fred arrives. to this new world realizing that there is no darkness. entity or the effects left behind he states that it is a story of course this is wrong but what it does mean is that this is a world with no paranormal activity which leads directly to the events of be cool scooby-doo that sees our gang in their new timeline tell us that they just got out of high school, which continues the story of them in high school and the mystery.

Incorporating and true to what Fred said about a world without mystery, this new series moves away from solving crimes and delves deeper into the territory of Phineas and Ferb, complete with a greater emphasis on comedy and wacky inventions and That's the last point in the Scooby-verse as of now, given the show's tendency to jump around its own timeline, there's no guarantee that the next batch of Scooby episodes and movies will even take place in the future. of the timeline maybe go back to when the gang was in a more grounded apparent reality, but for once we get to see roughly how this entire timeline ties together a mysterious gang we've watched grow up since they were kids. , a second mysterious gang that crossed dimensions into a new timeline and a third that's completely digital and now, with that out of the way, tune in next week when I explain how Fred and Daphne haven't become an official couple yet after all. these years actually that's not an episode at all, I just said it as a joke, the next episode is absolutely Rick and Morty anyway, until then, remember it's all just a theory, a movie theory.
