I also think that the classic episodes like: Foul Play in Funland, Mine Your Own Business, Watt a Shocking Ghost. They are not one of the best scooby doo episodes to be so overrated and remembered and to have their monsters honored so often. There are much better Episodes in those classic series that deserve more attention. and their monsters are never honored and they always repeat the same monsters in the tributes they do and that tires me a bit. We always see Captain Cuptler Charlie the robot but never the monster from "Don't Fool With a Phantom" for example and that was one of the most memorable monsters for me and an exceptional episode much better than others more remembered. from the series Well I agree with Foul Play in Funland and sorta Mine Your Own Business, but I do adore Watt a Shocking Ghost and A Clue For Scooby Doo which are among my favorites ever, but I absolutely agree that Don't Fool With a Phantom deserves MUCH more attention, along with the episode before it Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf

ups i forgot. "the new scooby doo movies" is my second favorite scooby doo series. It is far superior to the original "scooby doo where are you" and more fun with good jokes and better retractions of daphne and fred. I almost agree with this, but not quite. When I was ranking my series, I had serious considerations of putting the New Movies at number one over Where Are You, but I eventually went with Where Are You because it is simply way more consistent. If we got a series full of episodes like "The Lochness Mess" "Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair" and "The Ghost of Bigfoot", where the episodes take better advantage of the long runtime then it would be my favorite by a long shot, but the New Movies has some serious duds like Mystery in Persia and Ghost of the Red Baron that Where Are You simply does not have, in my opinion

Watching the KISS movie my educational volunteering training was screamiong SAFEGUARDING! SAFEGUARDIN! It was very creepy and I would say very inapprpriate. Scoobynatural kind of got away with it as this was a bit of a childhood infatuation, Daphne was oblivious/shut it down/it was clearly done for comic effect. That is absolutely completely inappropriate Starchild, Scoobynatural, or both?

Of course there are some of "where are you" that are superior to some Episodes of "the new scooby doo movies" but in general the series as such I like more like you 😊.postscript, many of my favorites from the series are the least remembered For me, some episodes like "The Secret of Shark Island", "The Loch Ness Mess" & "The Ghost of Bigfoot" are right up there in my rankings and as good as just about anything in WAY. I just find the show very inconsistent. Do you like Season 2 of the Movies as much as Season 1? cool, those 3 episodes are also my most favorite, they are in my top 1. I would also add the one of "guess who coming to dinner" cass elliot, phillips diller, davy jones and josie to my most favorites. And yes I find that season 2 I love a lot and has great Episodes, the two seasons were exceptional for me. Another of my favorites is "The Ghostly Creep from the Deep" (I know it's not very popular) and haunted island but I like the others mentioned a bit more.

A clue for scooby is one of my favorite episodes of all time. "Watt a Shocking Ghost" It is an excellent episode but there are better ones within "the scooby doo show" much better like for example "Chiller Diller Movie Thriller" and all those of scooby dum and many more. at least in "pirate ahoy" the werewolf from "where are you" had a tribute but there are so many good forgotten monsters, and instead of doing tributes with never used monsters they repeat the same ones. miner 49, captain cuptler, charlie the robot, 10000 volt ghost. where is the ape man, that monster enchanted me for example.It is an excellent episode but there are better ones within "the scooby doo show" much better like for example "Chiller Diller Movie Thriller" and all those of scooby dum and many more. at least in "pirate ahoy" the werewolf from "where are you" had a tribute but there are so many good forgotten monsters, and instead of doing tributes with never used monsters they repeat the same ones. miner 49, captain cuptler, charlie the robot, 10000 volt ghost. where is the ape man, that monster enchanted me for example.It is an excellent episode but there are better ones within "the scooby doo show" much better like for example "Chiller Diller Movie Thriller" and all those of scooby dum and many more. at least in "pirate ahoy" the werewolf from "where are you" had a tribute but there are so many good forgotten monsters, and instead of doing tributes with never used monsters they repeat the same ones. miner 49, captain cuptler, charlie the robot, 10000 volt ghost. where is the ape man,Ghost of Zen Tuo ect that monsters enchanted me.

And lastly, I hate the characterization they've been giving Velma since like 2014; to paraphrase from Zombie Island, she's not a skeptic, she's in denial. That is possibly one of my favorite quotes from Scooby Doo history and I gotta say that summarizes completely how I feel about the new Velma. Also adding into that, I always feel rude criticizing voice actors so I try to avoid it because I don’t have personal problems with any that I am aware of, but I’m not a fan of Kate Micucci’s Velma voice. It just feels off for some reason. Maybe because Mindy Cohn’s voice is Velma to me and she replaced her idk. Even 80s monotone Velma didn’t even bother me that much (she was also in like less than 10 episodes with that voice so that might help) Kate as Velma is fine. She'll never fully sound like Velma to me, but she's definitely a better Velma than Marla Frumkin. No one will ever be more miscast than Marla Frumkin. (Not a horrible voice actress at all, she's just not Velma. She sounds more like a Daphne if anything.) It's just a horrible coincidence that this bad characterization started in earnest when Kate took over the role.

That... is a really good point and probably has to do with it a lot. Especially because I actually feel like her voice fits quite well for Be Cool Velma, where in Guess Who and the movies is where my personal problems come up

Unfortunately, somehow that got lost in the shuffle and Mindy was eventually forced out permanently in favor of Kate. I don't think Kate is a bad voice by any means, but I do like Mindy's voice better.

I did not know that, but that is really sad for Mindy Yeah, Mindy originally put out a tweet in 2015 saying "there's room to share" with Kate explaining she'd still voice Velma in the DTVs and future series. Around the time Be Cool ended, she tweeted again saying she had essentially been pushed out. Super sad.

I'm also a little offended that there's this rumor going around that she voluntarily quit because she was sick, when it was just that WB decided to replace her.

Goblin King is one of the best Scooby movies. I think Aloha is one of the very best movies, which is probably an equally unpopular one. I love both Goblin King and Aloha!
