So i was actually indulging my "seriously thinking on cartoons" thing and i just came up with an idea that i'm a little shocked, how much it fits. But if any fanfiction writer out there wants to run with this, feel free.
So i had always been a proponent of Hanna Barbera shows having a faulty timestream, meaning everything happened because that what was true at the time. But then i got thinking, what if a Pup Named Scooby Doo is a past, but not the "actual past" that lead to the original run.
This got me thinking, we never got to see how the 13 Ghosts ended, what if one of the remaining two ghosts, had reality warping powers in league with characters like the Great Gazoo or Shazzan. Where in fact as a last ditch effort altered scooby's past. I know they already had a time themed villain but not one that could alter reality that much, and that would make for a real threat.
So with that being said what if changing Fred from smart straightman to comical dimwit was the catalyst that would alter most of the history of mystery inc, (and by virtue of crossover i could argue the other sister series to a pup named scooby doo are all the fate of what happened to the other shows in the damage of what the demon did). Thus allowing a timeline that has some differences and some callbacks. Since it would still be a faulty timestream all the older references in the modern movies would become examples of the timestream repeating itself.
But getting back to the earlier point i also had the crazy fanfiction idea if most of Fred's silliness was tied to blaming Red Herring, would it be nuts if one of the remaining 13 ghosts....was Red Herring? Slowly making Fred go nuts over time in disguise.
Yeah i know my fellow scooby addicts i was over thinking as i know real life implications would be that none of this is true, but i personally am surprised i didn't really think of this before. But overall i think it makes a very interesting idea for a fanfiction to explore.
