** Scrappy-Doo could be a sympathetic villain. In the cartoons, he idolized his Uncle Scooby; in the live action movie, he wanted to destroy humanity with a plague of monsters. Maybe he found out what a coward Scooby was and that his own parents didn't want him around. He may have a genetic disorder that kept him at midget canine status, which made him twisted when he grew up. The bloated ego in the movie could be his need for attention and affection.

Then there's a [[Subtext]] with her [[Arch Enemy|nemesis]] and [[Evil Counterpart]] Shego. [[Foe Yay]] cuts both ways, especially when the makers respond to many fans' love of it. Also Kim's braggy "I can do anything" attitude could be interpreted as arrogant to the point that it is boarderlining on being Hubris.
