Supernatural: Sam, Dean, and Castiel meet the Mystery Gang in Scooby-Doo crossover
Of all the things I expected to see come out of western media, this was not one of them. Is supernatural still going? The scooby gang sure gets around.
This could be good, and the art looks ni–
Huh, is this the first Scooby crossover that doesn't just assume the two take place in the same world?
Yeah, it went to shit after the creator walked out after season 5, well not really, it went to bad (Seasons 6-7), then back to decent (8-9), then to shit (10), then I'm not bothering (11 - ).
While Supernatural can be lighthearted really they don't share the same style, as much as it pains me to say it, it would have more in common with early Buffy, but that's not WB I guess.
EXCUSE ME, WHAT?!
The Mystery Incorporated versión of Daphne's character that has prevailed since then is best Daphne, ditzy, lovable, fun, capable, and the one more likely to become my waifu if I ever become that desperate.
Why?
Why are companies so scared of showing the best of a franchise to normies and rather always show what the normies already know and didn't like.
Dark worked with Mystery Incorporated.
Sweet fuck why? Who would want this? Supernatural hasn't even been good since season 4 or 5.
That was a different kind of dark that was so dark it was downright silly.
But silly in a good way.
Monkey's pawn, I hope you liked your BatB with Scooby Movie.
So is this a TV special or is officially the second Scooby DTV mocie of the year?
Also, isn't Supernatural rated TV-14/Light R?
How's this going to work, like in which channel or what?
Why did Ben Edlund leave, anyway?
Who the fuck asked for this?
Why? This practically guarantees that the whole special will just be robot chicken-tier.
I stopped watching after four. It got to ridiculous and emotional for my tastes. They were either crying or screaming at each other every other episode. Sam became an annoying little shit. I missed the silliness of the first season. Two bros going out into the road and killing shit.
The old scooby doo crossovers were better and I didn't even know half the characters back then, except for the globe trotters, sonny & cher, and the adam's family. In fact the only other ones I remember were Don Knotts and Cass Elliot. Only when I looked up what other crossovers there were I started to remember them, must have seen quite a few.
Been awaiting this for months since they confirmed it.
Should be fun, as they're adapting one of the best original episodes and using the animators from WB Animation.
I'll kill him.
You fucking know I loved that shit, bro. If this is the price I have to pay, so be it. It was worth it.
No, MI was the worst Scooby series by far because of this. Scooby was always about mystery solving and detective work, not over the top action and cartoon horror (which is something I don't mind, but it has no place in a Scooby cartoon).
Specifically, he walked out because that was all he had ever planned for the show.
I've heard there is supposed to be a push to return to more monster of the week format instead of the season long arcs of dullness, but I haven't been able to get up the enthusiasm to find out.
Buffy would just stab everything in sight leaving nothing for the gang to do… Reminds me of when SMG played Daphne in the movies and was literally stake-less Buffy kicking the shit out of the bad guys.
Really man? They kept a fair share of mysteries, even as the show was three episodes short to finish they still pulled an episodic format mystery, and all the main plot threads were introduced like that, there wasn't heavy action until the finale climax which had been built up for three years and the higher level of horror was balanced out by making the characters more comedic, Daphne was more positive and ditzy, Fred was given more personality as a competent autistic man, Shaggy and Scooby were kept the same and Velma was made more snarky Although I think she was sometimes too aggressive and future Snarky/Sweet Velma is better.
They even got a lot of guess starts from Hanna-Barbera which added a lot of fun.
Although they did turn Dynomutt into Frank Miller rather than Adam West, whether you think that's funny or not is up to you but I think it was pretty diegetic.
Was meant to…
Honestly, I fucking hated how her relationship with Shaggy was handled.
And no one called her out on her shit.
That's a realistic portrayal of women, then.
She got better in the second season, but I wish they'd addressed that, too. Her being jealous of Scooby in the first place was stupid.
Bet they’ll kill off Fred for shock value.
Good
Knowing Warner Bros., is it surprising there hasn't yet been a Scooby-Doo/Teen Titans GO crossover?
They kept the TTGo crossover for another show with similar levels of cancer
YOU HAVE THE FUCKING MONKEY'S PAW, DON'T YOU FAGGOT
GIVE IT OVER
huh, that's weird as fuck
Who /velma/ here?
Why hasn't there been a Hellboy crossover? Seems like a perfect match.
Because it's a comic book property
There hasn't even been a hellboy movie in like a decade
It's not really something they could market for kids
It's no wonder he picked Scooby Doo. At least Scooby Doo never tried to change Shaggy
So?
It's not DC
So? It's indie. Mignola owns all the rights to Hellboy. If he wanted to do a Hellboy/Scooby-Doo crossover, in comics or animation, they'd probably work something out.
I personally liked Season 7 bar Bobby's death and Ultra Lesbo's introduction, as it was way better than 6 and felt like a step in the right direction. Come Season 8 and that step turned out to be a cavernous pitfall, and the show's been falling while occasionally dashing its brains on the sides of it ever since.
The biggest problem is that the show doesn't hang on to good themes long enough and drops them too quickly, not to mention giving mythology some shitty human analogues to save on CGI. Zeus? Some hobo-looking guy who is a pushover that dies in an episode. Phoenix? Same deal. Eve? She gets three. They had plenty of stuff to work with but blew it on making a quick smorgasbord of everything.
It also stopped trying to be thematically dark and so none of the "monsters" are disturbing whenever they are introduced - there is a world of difference between them in the beginning and later seasons. The characters also never learn so it's always, "we-learned-to-not-keep-secrets-from-each-other-but-we'll-do-it-again-anyway-before-this-season-is-over", endlessly. Haven't watched season 12 and don't think I ever will.
And that's where it should have ended - I didn't mind Sam after redeeming himself in 5, but if keeping him in Hell would have prevented all these other seasons, he should have stayed down there.
Season 9 has to be my favorite post-season 5.
I don't know why, I just think is more entertaining than the rest, probably because all the god related angel shit with Metatron, the mark of Cain, the internal affairs between the angels and Castiel and all that stuff it felt more like a true continuation to Season 5 than S6-S8, then Season 10 gimmicked all that.
As if S6-S8 were filler arcs and S9 was the actual S6… fucking site posted as I was writing.
The trailer's out.
Hmm…..
