Why wasn't Scooby Doo and the Gang horribly murdered at some point?

Why doesn't the 10 year old main characters from Pokemon games and TV shows get murdered by a member of the organized crime group that they fight? Why do those members of the organized crime groups even play fair in a Pokemon fight. If some little kid was trying to disrupt my criminal organization I would just have multiple members of my organization attack them all at once with their Pokemon instead of fighting them one at a time(or just used a gun to kill them, whatever gets the job done).

Always had a thing for megane. Liked Velma ever since I was a kid. :3

I wondered that when I saw the first live action Doo flick.

Shaggy did a pot joke in one of the movies, let's take it easy. I mean, we all knew he was a pothead, maybe that's why he thought that mystery solving was scary, albeit not in the way of crazy people trying to kill the gang.

That's why they added Horde Battles.

Also Pokemon are already more dangerous than guns.

I mean, it's three sexy teenagers and a hippie burnout with a dog traveling around investigating paranormal shit that turns out to be... well, psycho criminals that dress up or pull elaborate hoaxes. I'm surprised there's been no dark take on it where they either come across something ACTUALLY supernatural at which point it becomes a genuine horror story, or one of these criminals they put away tries to just off them.

Don't sexual teenagers. And if you do don't leave out Shaggy like that.

We have a decent thread going, don't weeb it up.
 
They lived in a socialist welfare state modeled after the Nordic countries where getting horribly murdered is not an everyday occurrence.
 
Mystery Inc was way too good compared to the dozens of other terrible attempts at bringing Scooby Doo back. Great animation, fairly dark sub plot, weirdly serious in a lot of areas. Every episode had attempts to make it light hearted but the style it was in just derailed that lol. Wish I watched more of it when it was on.

Mystery Inc. was FUCKING TIGHT.

Best series ever. The episode where they met all the other Mystery teams like Jabberjaw and Speed Buggy was inspired.

Who?



Light spoiler:
The member was a new character in the show, not one of the originals. It's a pretty good character that there was there for like the whole series though

It was actually a pretty clever casting gag too...
she was voiced by the actress who played Velma in the live-action films.

Pretty cool considering live action Shaggy became animated Shaggy.
 
Damn it, this thread is making me want to watch Mystery Inc again. I watched like three episodes and got bored with it when the show first premiered. Also, Velma/Shaggy is annoying.

I wish we had more movies/stuff like Zombie Island. I have yet to see anything top Zombie Island.
 
95 percent of the monster stories were some sort of real estate scheme or simple jealousy. Nobody is gonna catch a case on some random kids for that.
 
What if they had expys of the Scooby gang as protagonists of True Detective Season 3. Bunch of amateur sleuths investigating a serial killer folktale. One of them gets murdered.

They were the True Detectives.
 
Btw, those commenting on the goofy ass 'monsters' from the older series, here's some insight from Mark Evanier, from his memories on how Scrappy Doo came to be:

Scrappy debuted on the Scooby Doo program in 1979 as a "new element." Scooby had been on the air for some time by then and the narrow formula of the series had become repetitive to the point where ABC was considering cancellation. One of the very real concerns was whether the writers could come up with the thirteen requisite ghost premises to do another thirteen episodes. Let me tell you how you sold a script to the Scooby Doo series in those days.

You'd go to the producer or the story editor and say something like, "How about a ghost who's an aardvark and he's been haunting ant farms?"

The producer or story editor would consult a list of all the episodes produced to date, and there was about a 95% chance he'd look up from it and say, "Did it in Season Four" or whatever season it had been in. Sometimes, they'd say, "Did it in Seasons Two, Four, Five and I have one in the works right now, same idea." But if you lucked into something in the 5% category, you had an assignment…even if you didn't have a clue who the aardvark would be when he took off his mask or why he was haunting ant farms. Didn't matter. You or someone else could figure that stuff out later. You'd done the hard part.

In the 60s this would be considered racy for prime time television, let alone children's tv line-up.
 
i watched the first live action scooby doo as a kid and i don't remember any of it except for one scene where fred and daphne switch bodies, and fred (in daphne's body) says "cool, now i'm going go get naked and look at myself in the mirror."

like it's a fucking kid's movie what the hell

In Scooby Doo Mystery Inc.
the final episode's villain is an ancient extra-dimensional being. The being consumes several people including Fred's parents. One of the new members of the gang dies the previous episode protecting the rest of them. The entity feasts upon the townspeople until the gang seals him back into his sarcophagus. This causes a black hole which implodes the galaxy.

They awake in an alternate reality. A world without mysteries...
