#Mystery Incorporated Youtube

[soullessjack]

it’s basically canon that jack likes Scooby-Doo but i think he would LOVE mystery inc. specifically, and even MORE specifically he would love Fred and Fred’s traps and start making his own traps except unlike Fred these could actually probably kill someone, if not lightly maim them

[probably-des]

nabbed these elements from the old cartoon network australian website (i had to screenshot and crop some these because the website was using flash)

fun fact: did you know that theres australian boomerang bumpers that are animated with the same style as the last 2 images, its pretty cool tbh!!

Given that it’s October, it feels like a good time to finally check out Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Some of my friends have been recommending it to me for a while saying it’s the best Scooby Doo series in the franchise, so I’ve been curious about it. The only clip I’ve watched from the show up to this point was the teacher joke, which got a genuine laugh out of me:

FotW: SDMI - In Fear of the Phantom

Welcome back to Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, and now we're getting into a problem many reboots and adaptions face - what happens when you try something different. Today's episode isn't really that special, serving as a bridging point between the next stint of episodes focused on the gang's love lives.

Except for featuring the Hex Girls of course.

Not to overshadow the main villain, which would be extra funny considering their backstory, but come on that's what y'all are here for.

Yeah, they got a bit of a redesign since their last few appearances in the two billion direct to DVD films. Fans DID NOT like this, and in a later episode they had to actually address the backlash while also scrapping these outfits for the original ones. They also steal Luna and Dusk's hair dye and gave Thorn's highlights a diminished role.

My personal opinion? Eh, I would've preferred a middle ground between the two, but for reboots I encourage designers to go all out since it's their own thing. So for Mystery Incorporated I would've either kept the redesigns or gave them completely brand new looks a second time. The OGs have a more cohesive aesthetic, but I like how MI experiments by giving each girl their own Alt style. It's probably Dusk who could probably use a new outfit though, since her Tank Girl getup doesn't mesh as well as Thorn's "Pagan School Girl" and Luna's "Lesbian Thespian" outfits do. Actually, maybe one of those Scene Kid reconstructions of School Uniforms would've worked better?

Oh yeah, this nerd.

Backstory: Like most lesbians Velma is a massive fan of The Hex Girls, snagging front row tickets for the Scooby Gang just in time for them to witness a "Phantom" try to murder Thorn on stage. As with every mystery the gang decide to take it upon themselves to do the cop's job to keep the concert going while protecting the band.

This leads to an exploration of the show's two main ships, Fredphe and Shoob - again, yes really.

This show is really good trust me on this.

Scooby outright calls Shaggy a cheater for going to prom with Velma instead of hanging out with him like they always do, and replaces Mathew Lillard with a wooden dummy much to Shaggy's chagrin.

Fred meanwhile comes out as nonbinary a teenage boy with emotions as he finally grasps Daphne's romantic interest in him. All thanks to an entire song written by Daphne where she uses Fred's special interest to get through to him.

Behold, one of the best songs made for a television show in history.

Before this spectacular moment of audio interposed with occasional Zelda CDI-level animation (to be fair are you even looking at the animation in the first place) we got some Phantom shenanigans. Mostly him responding to Scoob and Shag's ability to warp time and space by just setting them on fire, probably the most effective thing one these guys have attempted so far.

Design: Obviously a homage to The Phantom of the Opera, and as we go through the series, you'll start to notice a lot more homages that Wikipedia will kindly point out for you. Though you can also see a bit of Comic Supervillain in his design, so much so that he doesn't seem to fit with the show's own aesthetic. He wears a black full body suit with a gigantic, taller than his own head, Dracula collar and grim reaper-esque hood. He has a fabricated piece of his outfit that goes over his shoulders like Football Pads, but with a sleeker design as it attaches his cape to the main costume. His cape is black but its interior is lined with a sparkling holographic material.

His mask, belt, boots, and glovers are all made of golden mechanical pieces, as they actually allow him to charge up bolts of electricity to fire at the teens in our show. This tech is never explained, and he really only uses it a few times before forgetting he has these weapons at his disposal.

His mask is the best part of the outfit, legitimately cool while evoking a gas mask. It's almost like it was made out of several pieces asymmetrically stuck to each other with large bolts, like if C3PO was mangled in an accident and put back together with recolored bits of R2-D2. There are several short, cylindrical ports on his gauntlets, boots, belt, and mask that occasionally glow green.

Reveal: Shaggy, with an extensive knowledge of obscure musical groups as we'll be shown time and time again, recognized the shiny material of The Phantom's cape as belonging to a One-Hit Wonder named Fantzee Pantz. And once that's discovered it's pretty obvious that the other suspect, The Hex Girl's manager, is not the culprit as he was just as responsible for Fantzee's obscurity as THG.

No, the true culprit is the girl's songwriter, who first attempted to sabotage them through badly written songs but was thwarted by the girl's talent and popularity - So he then turned to just trying to kill them, and Daphne. He ends up taking Scoob's dummy to jail with him, but the original duo patch things up by then - letting us look back at Velma who got sidelined so badly this episode.

2/5 Goofy as hell design for a goofy character, probably the most "Villain of The Week" we've encountered so far. In fact, he'd probably fit in better in Miraculous Ladybug than this show. Not that bad otherwise, just not as impressive.

The video accompanying this project (turn the english subtitles ON ^^)

Since its first airings in 1969, the "Scooby-Doo" formula has known many MANY versions, each with its own peculiarities. The most recent up to this date is HBO Max "Velma". And since it's terrible on too many levels, I decided to restart on a good basis inspired by the writing of 2011 "Mystery Incorporated".

If I had to rewrite "Mystery Incorporated", I'd keep the autistic-codified Fred that was presented. He would still have hyper-fixation on traps, but would be a little more able to understand people's feelings and take them more into account. Being the eldest after Shaggy, he feels most responsible for the gang and tends to want to take care of them. In other words, I picture him as a mother hen reminding his friends to buckle up before they get to this week's investigation.

If I had to rewrite "Mystery Incorporated", I'd let Daphne stay the sweet rich girl who truly loves her trap-obsessed Fred that she was in the series. As the more money-savvy of the gang, she'd have the position of treasurer in charge of all their finances; be it equipement for Fred/Velma, the Mystery Machine's maintenance or where they'll eat and sleep tonight. She'd also have a running-gag with her "Handbag of Holding", with the rest of the cast asking how she manages to fit so much in such a small bag. In addition, she'd have some famous/rich contacts who help the gang in their own way. After all, even if you know people, you might as well use them to help your friends !

If I had to rewrite "Mystery Incorporated", firstly I wouldn't let her actress using Velma as a frustration-ending self-insert. Secondly, I wouldn't force Shaggy into a relationship with her while neither of them is clearly emotionally mature enough for it. Thirdly, I would make her the youngest of the gang, like 2-3 years less than Daphne. She's considered a child prodigy and takes classes with them between 2 cases. As a result, the group tends to coddle her a little too much to her liking. She would want to prove her worth despite her young age and would have the bad habit of trying to do too much in her searches and experiments. She'll eventually grow up and understand that her youth doesn't define her future/identity/value.

In a french video about "Mystery Incorporated", the animators analyzed Shaggy and Scooby as twins who grew up in a very fusional relationship, making Shaggy not emotionally ready to be in a relationship and Scooby a bit possessive to let it happen. Therefore, they have to learn to leave each other space while maintaining their bond. I'd like to keep this dynamic while making them a little more street-savvy than the others. With their knowledge of every food places in Crystal Cove, they would know all the good shortcuts for the Mystery Machine and would know all the gossips widespread in town by street weirdos and animals. And of course, they would still be the scaredy cats baits you can buy with food but would still help catching the bad guys. Chickens who act in spite of fear are always a winning recipe, so why change ?
