This also ties into the show’s most noticeable departure from previous iterations - its use of overarching plot in addition to a monster of the week.
Velma, on the other hand, confronts the limitations of her skepticism, and Shaggy’s slacking-off finally catches up to him.Ĭrystal Cove’s continuity - its existence outside of one-off mysteries - causes the gang to investigate the fact that monsters are a unique recurrence within their small town. Fred is forced to face how he has ignored Daphne’s feelings for him in the past, while Daphne struggles to live up to her parents’ expectations. While the members of the Mystery Gang are usually written as one-note characters, punctuated only by the occasional “Zoinks,” “Jinkies,” or “Creepers,” the extended nature of this series forces the writers to build more character development. The characters’ designs are also more angular and stylized.The characters also receive a metaphorical facelift.
Its animation style reflects that recency, with heavier use of shading and 3D animation.
“Mystery Incorporated” is a relatively recent venture, having released its last episode in 2013. Besides the Mystery Gang, the town is also inhabited by Sheriff Bronson - who often arrests the kids for trespassing on private property - the kids’ parents, various recurring characters and a high school and college. The 56-episode series takes place in Crystal Cove, a tourist-y, seaside town known as “The Most Hauntedest Place on Earth.” The town chooses to capitalize on its extensive history of fake, paranormal happenings - with Velma’s mother operating the town’s spooky museum, a showcase of past Scooby-Doo monsters such as Scrappy Doo and the Creeper. I fear that’s the case with my favorite version of the Mystery Gang, one that dares to break with precedent more than any other, “Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.” Since it is based on iteration upon iteration of the same five characters, many versions are forgotten. The genre, although relatively small, still has some standouts - “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Coraline,” “Monster House” and, of course, the entire “Scooby Doo” franchise. So, when I want to be frightened, I turn to kids’ horror. As in, I’ve basically never watched a horror movie, and I plan to keep it that way. My relationship with the horror genre can be described more or less with a single word - nonexistent.
