There's a few formulas for the Scooby gang encountering the genuine supernatural/supervillains. One of the common ones is that while they're up against legitimate supervillains with superpowers and/or advanced technology, it's not being used the way it appears to be. Wondering if this is following on from the recent Brave and the Bold crossover.

i was never a huge fan of the original scooby doo, but mystery inc. and many of the direct-to-home features are legitimately pretty awesome. also, i never figured any hanna barbera series would last this long, especially one that goes as far back as the 60s.

The moment I read this I was reminded of that terribly animated and terribly written Ghoul School thing where Shaggy acts as a coach for the daughters of famous monsters. Really, the only saving grace in that one were the designs.

Also it's canon for OK KO which is great. Enid went to that same school to learn witchcraft

You could just watch that one episode and see if you like it. The ghoul school characters only come up in one episode, and it's not one that's heavily tied in to the series' long-term storylines, so you don't have to have seen every episode up to that point to get it.

It has some cute themes, like KO for the most part doesn't mind being babied, in fact he often loves it, although when it means he isn't taken seriously that can bother him and at it's worst it dissociates and manifests as TKO. In the tie in game, there's a moment where the villains try to embarrass him by putting up a billboard of one of his baby pictures, but when he goes to destroy it, he notices his mother in the picture, which recontextualises the image for him so it no longer bothers him - now he just sees it as a reminder of how much his mommy loves him

One of the common ones is that while they're up against legitimate supervillains with superpowers and/or advanced technology, it's not being used the way it appears to be. Yeah having the villains using advanced technology or at least having some sort of weapon as part of their disguise has definitely become something of the norm for the franchise, as it gives the gang a reason to run away from the monster and use traps to stop it later instead of doing the logical thing after their first couple of mysteries prove that it's normally a guy in a mask and just dogpile the guy and beat the poo poo out of him* *for similar reasons this is probably one of the reasons why real monster encounters went up so high during the Scrappy era(helps to justify everyone ignoring Scrappy's suggestions and attempts to fight the monsters), and part of why A Pup Named Scooby-Doo worked rather well(since they're just kids)

Scarecrow is probably the one Batman villain they could probably take on, if he hasn't brought goons with him. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was actually pretty good. A lot of the mysteries were apparently set up so the audience could potentially figure them out before the characters do.

There were a whole lot of supervillains back in the day that were just gang leaders without any real superpowers of their own. The genre used to be a lot more okay with smaller scale threats. Norman Osborne was basically a scooby villain back when he was introduced.

Actually reminded of the bit in the comics where Scarecrow tries to lay low under a new identity as a college professor, but ends up blowing his cover when he finds out his favourite student was raped by her boyfriend, and decides to dish out some karmic punishment with his fear gas. Batman notes that at least Crane has the decency to wear his mask on the outside.

Reminds me that a Superman TAS ep where Superman is substituting for an injured Batman has him completely mess with a team-up of Bane, the Riddler and the Mad Hatter. While Bane spelled out how their skillsets complement one another, it's still a bit of a random combination. Maybe the overarching theme is green?

is this the same comic where Velma and Shaggy become Shazam-like superheroes because their catchphrases line up with a completely different set of mythological entities, or is that one unrelated

Also, to actually answer the question about Shaggy/Scooby and Scarecrow's fear gas, Shaggy is affected like normal (hallucinates monsters like everyone else); Scooby isn't affected because he's a dog. Naturally this could very well be treated differently in different series.

Reminded how it's disappointing they rarely bring up the apropos-of-nothing BTAS casual respect between Harley and Scarecrow, who she's the only one to reliably call 'Professor'.

I liked the little moment between them when Crane's being recaptured and is raving as he's dragged back through Arkham and this happens: Harley walks by: "Hi Professor!" Scarecrow: "RAH! Good Evening, my child! YOU'LL NEVER KEEP ME IN HERE!"

What's funny is is that Kent Nelson, the original Doctor Fate, at least before the New52/Rebirth, he was an actual physician so the Doctor appellation was accurate.
