Scrappy usually is the smart one, I wonder why he got tricked so easily by those crooks! Anyways, sad that Scrappy didn't feel wanted  . |

Having rewatched this episode, I found it really good. It was indeed sad that Scrappy didn't feel wanted, but he was kind of silly to trust those train robberers...
"But what do you expect from a little pup?" ;P

Indeed. I bet those Scrappy haters love that episode! That's what I was immediately thinking when watching this episode - pure fodder for the anti-Scrappy crowd, although I'm sure it wasn't written with that in mind at the time. |

Y'know it's funny (In a sad sort of way) How the harder Scrappy tries to impress, the less he actually does. Growls from a monster can't scare him, but a few harsh words (Even if they were meant for a mosquito, but poor Scrappy had no clue) from friends and family are enough to send him into a self-imposed exile. Scrappy seems to have been moving around a lot in his life (New York, Globetrotting with the gang, Dusty and Yabba) And we don't really see him interacting with others his own age a whole lot. So all he really could do was to get approval from his guardians and maybe make some memories too.
You're forgetting the end. What with Dusty telling Scrappy how they couldn't get along with out him, and Yabba giving that musketeers speech (Even that's gone bittersweet nowadays-I just realized that Fred and Dusty share a voice actor-Frank Welker. What was it Fred says about Scrappy again?
"Don't look at IT, Daphne! We promised to never speak of IT again."
Sigh. A lot can change in twenty nine years.)
There's nothing funny about running away, or being the unwitting pawn in a railroad robbing scheme and then dumped when the baddies don't need you anymore (Scrappy was literally in tears)
though there was one moment on the beginning when Yabba bellyflopped on Dusty.
Actually, this whole episode is hard to watch taking in all consideration everything that's happened, but I took comfort in the end, which seemed very decided non-hater-fodder.
Wow, that was long.

Scrappy has always been a young sidekick, and who has never really been liked by much of the Scooby fandom. there are movies where he is good - Scooby doo meets the Boo Brothers for instance- but in recent years its simply been easier to portray him as a bad guy

That was quite humanizing for Scrappy indeed. It showed how fragile he can be and how he can also make mistakes

I don't love Scrappy personally. Sometimes I find him annoying and sometimes I think he's okay. With that being said, even if it is just a cartoon, I find it really mean-spirited anyone who takes joy in a someone running away from feeling so unwanted no matter how you feel about that character. I sure hope those who found joy in that don't act like that in real life
