And Scooby-Doo is descended from a race of extradimensional beings who have visited humanity as animals such as the cats of Egypt and Sun Wukong and that's why he can talk.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Actually Mystery Inc. was easily the best incarnation of Scooby Doo and a decent show in its own right.

No, I actually like it, because it does such ridiculous things like that. When it first started, I thought "Yawn,more of the same". But then it got crazy,and I enjoyed it.

Just an out of work actor that was napping in a clock or something and ran with it when the kids thought they found a ghost from the Revolutionary War.

My favorite part is how they tied in Dynomutt's origin with Jonny Quest, culminating in the Scooby gang teaming up with a Dark Knight Returns-inspired Blue Falcon to fight Quest villain Dr. Zinn.

They briefly did crossover directly into Johnny Quest like many early [AS] did but later they sort of retconned that and changed the names.

Venture Bros mostly climbed up its own rear end with all its own internal mythology after like the second season anyway.

My favorite part of Mystery Inc (aside from the insane mythology) was that they turned Fred and Daphne into characters I could actually care about. Fred ended up being one of the funniest drat characters I've seen in a cartoon in a while.

Also the Flim Flam/Scrappy Doo reference. I was kind of hoping they were going to drop Ghoul School/Boo Brothers/Reluctant Werewolf references too.

Velma: "Why are you so out of shape? Didn't you work as a coach at a boarding school over the summer?"
Shaggy: "I'm gonna level with ya. I was hallucinating most of the time."

I would've gone with Shaggy exaggerating the events to a ludicrous degree

But same in expanding the characters to levels that make them far more interesting than their base archetypes. Velma being the least well off of the group was sorta surprising as much as Shaggy being rather well off.

I only seen clips but the recent Scooby Doo movies seem good, maybe.

Crossovers with John Cena and KISS(as magic girls musicmens) are cool.

No but didn't learning that everyone was in college together at the exact same time and that David Bowie is some extra dimensional shape shifter who's the big bad behind everything really make you feel for the characters who started as scooby doo/jonny quests parodies

Just started watching Wander Over Yonder after putting it off for years. It's pretty fun! I guess I was turned off by the first couple episodes because of Spongebob.

The worst episodes of Spongebob were the ones where Spongebob and Patrick punish Squidward for trying to have a normal stress-free day. Like the universe thought he was a terrible person for being a boring sad sack and went out of its way to torment him for all eternity. There's a point where it pushed itself from funny to cruel and it was unpleasant to watch.

The first few episodes of Wander Over Yonder kind of had that vibe to me so I dropped it and didn't pick it back up til today, but I wish I'd never dropped it. It's a lot of fun!

Looking back at the April Fools episode, you really feel for Squidward. Spongebob put Squidward in the hospital, drove him to suicide, and might've actually killed him a couple times, a little garbage is nothing in comparison.

I feel like at the beginning, Spongebob was very genuinely exuberant, even if to a degree that annoyed everyone around him, and then at some point it became all about him being an idiot goblin who everybody hates.

Squidward has long been the character the show tortures for no reason other than he doesn't like his horribly annoying neighbor that won't leave him alone.like they try and make him a dick but they just never make him nearly deserving of what he gets.
