Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated/WMG: Difference between revisions

 

== Mr. E is the Riddler. ==

** I think it's Batman too. I mean, who else could do a Stealth Hi Bye while taking, and later putting back, a car engine?

 

== Mr. E is Vincent van Ghoul. ==

In this continuity, he's a stealth mentor advising the gang from afar, preparing the gang for real ghosts and monsters.

* The gang are being stalked by [[Those Two Bad Guys|two guys]] named "Mr. B" and "Mr. W".

 

** Probably not. Velma has a sister, but she's no twin (''Abracadabra-Doo''). Unless it was an heretofore unseen twin.

 

* Actually, I'm going to predict the Mr. E will say "Thanks to you meddling kids" as a [[Call Back]] to the first episode.

** To elaborate on this, since I don't know how to phrase it as a WMG: The season finale will see the Mystery Inc. gang at the top of their 1970s-era game, pitted against Mr. E (who has a larger plan behind his prodding of the gang in the right direction) in a scary monster costume. This will culminate in Mr. E being caught in a trap, and the climactic moment of a genuinely suspenseful mystery crystallized in the line, "Now let's see who Mr. E ''really'' is!" as one of them pulls the mask off. Whoever he is, there will be a lengthy denouement, and -- out of sportsmanship or genuine frustration -- he will decry them as a bunch of meddling kids but for whom he would have gotten away with it.

 

== Mr. E is Sheriff Bronson Stone. ==

* This may backfire if they manage to unveil him as Mr. E ''before'' solving the mystery, at which point they would have to deal with an even worse [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|replacement sheriff]] and discover the truth without Mr. E's clandestine help.

 

She could just be using a voice changer... Thing. She acts suspicious enough.

* Then explain the live phonecall with Mr E at the end of the first episode...''in Angel's studio!'' ([[Scare Chord]])

** We already know that Mr. E employs a man for various things - he picked up Alice at the end of that episode. Why not have that man make the calls too? it would also explain how [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That|the radio and tape could account for what the gang would say]]. Angel knows the gang well enough to compensate in the scripts she gives to her employee.

** Jossed as of episode 20. We already know who Angel is. Or at least Velma does.

 

== Mr. E is Freddy's Dad. ==

* Except Mr E is helping the gang solve mysteries, and ruin the monster tourist business. Even the Alice May episode, where he was sort of at cross purposes with the gang, his intent was still solving mysteries rather than letting them lie there like the mayor wants.

** On the other hand, Professor Pericles did warn Freddy to beware of those closest to him. His father would probably qualify.

 

== Candlejack is Mr. E. ==

 

With the villains caught, he kills them by putting their names in the Death Note.

 

 

== Mr. E is Scooby Doo. ==

* This would also explain why [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]] since "Rat's Rit?" would only be spoken by Scooby.

 

 

== Mr. E is an Autobot. ==

 

== Mister E is a Plumber and is testing the kids for true training or trying to solve the mystery of what happened to Crystal Cove's last batch ==

Episode seven: The Phantom resembles Six-Six on a really bad day.

 

More to Come.

 

Someone stole his identity and is using it to give the gang hints, while the real Mr. E is busy trying to file a stolen identity report at the police station. Hasn't gone well for him so far.

 

 

== Mr. E is [[Harlan Ellison]] ==

 

== Angel and Mr.E were part of the original Mystery Inc ==

** Confirmed as of Episode 21: Mr E is {{spoiler|Ricky Owens of the original Mystery Inc; Angel is simply his pet name for his girlfriend Cassidy.}}

 

 

== Mister E was in the group of kids that disappeared years ago. ==

** {{spoiler|confirmed.}}

 

** Episode 17 is definitely pointing that way.

** The end of Episode 20 almost confirms that.

 

== The issue of ''Traps Illustrated'' with a woman on the cover was [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|covering the other type of trap]]. ==

 

== The climax of Season 1 is going to a two-part episode -- which both team switch time periods -- the past in the present and the present in the past -- though they do solve their mystery ==

* Here's what will happen: The season will end when one of gang's -- or the entire gang's -- fate is put into question. How kick-ass would that be?

 

== Mystery Inc. will go through a ''temporary'' break up due to Shaggy, Scooby and Velma's relationship woes. ==

* Going with an above theory, we may be treated with an episode where Shaggy tries to maintain a friendship with both Scoob and Velma, and be terrible with keeping the secret.

* Actually, episode 9 proves they're already headed in this direction... After Scooby catches Shaggy and Velma making out, Shaggy breaks their relationship to him in the most chicken shit way possible... and scooby still figures it out and procedes to fight with Velma, with both trying to make shaggy choose. And it isn't resolved at all {{spoiler|At the end of the episode when Scooby and Velma try to force him to choose, he promplty tricks them and runs off. chicken shit}}

** Actually they stay as a team until the end of that episode. In episode 12 the gang gets back together.

*** But Velma still hasn't forgiven Shaggy.

* Episode 20 could possibly foreshadow Velma leaving the gang, since she feels left out and attempts to solve the mystery all by herself.

*** Semi-confirmed: Velma is blamed for the gang breaking up in the season finale.

 

== The original Mystery Inc. disappeared as the result of a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save Crystal Cove from a real supernatural threat ==

* Whatever it is, its probably a good bit more powerful than the usual creature. We know its involved in the Gatorville thing, gators simply don't appear out of the ground like that. Maybe it had made a deal with the inhabitants of Gatorville to give them riches, but it eventually caused the gator well to run dry [[For the Evulz]] just to mess with the people there. At the best scenario, we are dealing with a high powered monster, at worst, I could compare the sealed evil to ''The Wolf, The Ram and The Hart.''

** It was a supernatural event, in their eyes. {{spoiler|Angel states that a monster known as the Freak of Crystal Cove warned them if they didn't leave, he'd harm their loved ones...then it's revealed that the Freak was Mayor Jones who wanted the treasure for himself.}}

 

 

 

She, along with other relatives of the missing, is working with Mister E to expose the truth about what happened to her loved ones. (Mister E may be a false name all of them are sharing, or {{spoiler|Pericles}} coordinating the whole affair.) After all, the authorities can't be trusted to do anything...

 

 

== Fred was a [[Feral Child]]. ==

** {{spoiler|He's not feral but was taken away by his real parents, thanks to the Mayor.}}

 

...And everyone in town (except the kids) are in to it. This explains why the sheriff isn't that worried about investigating crimes, and why the kids' parents are so casual about their adventures. The series ends with everyone laughing ''at'' the kids for not figuring it out sooner.

 

* It doesn't help that Shaggy's parents {{spoiler|said they are sending him to a "farm"!}}

** Uh, hello guys? This a ''[[Cartoon Network]] Cartoon'', not [[God of War]]. When they say "farm" they're talking about a farm with a farmer and barn animals.

 

== Velma will adopt a puppy to make Shaggy jealous ==

 

== The parents ARE the "Curse of Crystal Cove." ==

 

== Velma and Scooby will both decide [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]... [[Rule of Funny|at the same time]]. ==

'''Shaggy:''' "...Like, I have no idea what's going on..." }}

 

** Jossed as of episode 22. Velma has put her broken heart and the romance behind her for good.

 

It turns out that he hired the Phantom into capturing Daphne in order to make Fred wish that he didn't have feelings for her. Because of that, his plan worked and she becomes Crush. However, Johan plans on having her killed once ruining Fred through her is finished. That's why he ordered the Phantom to get her after her song, Trap of Love, so that he can kill her without Fred knowing that he planned all this. However, after the Phantom is caught, Johan plans to kill Fred and Daphne by himself with his gun, but ends up getting arrested by the sheriff.

 

For bonus points, this situation could easily be set up by some shadowy figure -- though the question of ''who'' and ''why'' would be wide open. Could it be Mr. E putting Daphne through a [[Secret Test of Character]], or stepping into the role of [[Evil Mentor]]? The Mayor, trying to drive a wedge between Freddy and Daphne and split up Mystery Inc.? The as-of-yet unrevealed [[Big Bad]] responsible for the 'curse of Crystal Cove'?

 

* Tragically [[Jossed]]; the final episode had nothing to do with it.

* [[Your Mileage May Vary|On the other hand]], the scene where {{spoiler|one of the victims has a [[Freak-Out]] and ''flatlines''}} may remind Higurashi fans of {{spoiler|Keiichi's fate in ''Watanagashi-hen''}}.

 

== At some point, the gang will find themselves... ==

 

== Freddy's Connection ==

Professor Pericles did say to be careful on the closes person especially Freddy so what do you people think?

* Most obvious answer? Fred's dad is the Mayor, and he doesn't like them solving mysteries. So far he's been relatively lax about ''enforcing'' this, but if he chose to turn up the pressure on the gang... But then again, [[The Untwist|maybe that wouldn't be twisty enough]]?

* Fred's mom

* Daphne

 

== Angel really spends most of her time spying on the town ==

 

== The reason no one freaks out about a talking dog... ==

== Sheriff Stone had ''other'' reasons to meet with Daphne's mother that night. ==

Calling her a suspected vampire was just his way of deflecting suspicion. As to the actual reason why... a few possibilities spring to mind:

* Alternately, he's a secret [[Stealth Mentor]] himself, and the two of them were working together (perhaps even with Mr. E?) to try and get the team to start working together instead of fracturing further.

* Several of Daphne's mentions of her mother call her sanity into question. Whether this is part of her being a [[Stealth Mentor]] or an actual problem, Stone wanted to make sure she wasn't having another one of her episodes. The vampire claim was an extremely clumsy effort at showing some tact instead of telling Daphne in front of her friends "Just making sure her choo-choo's still on the tracks".

Reasoning: A lot more probable than multiple siblings making it through college by age 13, also: If they all have successful careers, why are they still apparently living with their parents?

 

And by "clue," I don't mean "it's meant for everyone to get." Mystery Incorporated is a clear deconstruction of the "Whodunnit for Kids" genre and its already well crafted [[Myth Arc]] will likely avoid both "easily solved by a kid" and [[Clueless Mystery]] that [[Scooby Doo]] more or less runs on. It isn't a [[Fair Play Whodunnit]] either. It's a true mystery, one where the fanbase has to put on its collective thinking cap and grow a good crop of [[Epileptic Trees]].

General Evidence:

* The curse has struck often enough for someone (Mr. E) to know how it strikes and possibly why.

* The Mystery Club's disappearance isn't the first. Spanish Conquistadors, "an entire town full of missionaries," and the Darrow Family are all possible victims of the Curse.

* Not everyone literally disappears, but those that do remain are either scarred by the Curse or in hiding from it. One known member (Pericles) went insane and a possible member (Angel Dynamite, who could be Cassidy Williams) obviously knows something. Those who know of the curse keep it a secret themselves, even if they subtly help the current Mystery Inc solve things.

* The curse has to be triggered by stumbling onto evidence of the previous victims. Mr. E tells the gang that the locket wasn't meant to be found and that due to their finding it the curse has begun anew.

 

Overall Theory: The cast is stuck in a double [[Groundhog Day Loop]]. The Curse of Crystal Cove plays [[Literal Genie]] with the phrase "these events are destined to repeat themselves forever." "Forever" meaning not only that the events repeat themselves once a generation, but also [[Eternal Recurrence|"after the end of this universe, the universe begins again and events repeat themselves (with slight variations)."]] Forever equaling eternally and without end. The gang only reincarnates once per universe, with all previous generations of Mystery Inc. reincarnating once per world as well. Eventually the gang will begin to remember previous cycles, some of which could contain shout outs to previous Scooby Doo series and various clones of the franchise (eg. Jabberjaw). One cycle might already be remembered, something Mr. E took advantage of {{spoiler|in "the Mystery of Alice May," where a previously solved case comes back to haunt the gang in a way that makes no sense unless rapid aging was involved; it was a lie to begin with, but still. No excuse. The gang clearly had a faulty memory of those events. They saw Alive May as a younger girl rather than someone of their own age, which she clearly was.}} It is likely that the gang won't know the memories are false unless they begin to severely differ from reality (like a memory of Scrappy Doo or Flim Flam). This series is already playing around with references to previous series and having it all come full circle by making the entire franchise a series of loops fits right in with the show's style of deconstruction. This theory works spectacularly because it works not merely as very creepy [[Mythology Gag]], but also explains why the characters are so different across the various incarnations of the series. I would like to further theorize that the first season will end in failure for the gang and they too will disappear mysteriously one by one, with Season 2 starting the loop all over again in the next world. The gang is clearly two steps away from breaking up, which has already stated to be very, very bad. It is doubtful that their relationships will magically be repaired in the time remaining. Season 1 is to establish that there is a loop. Season 2 will likely be all about solving the real mystery, or at least the beginning of actually trying. This season looks like one big [[Bad End]] waiting to happen. All in all, this theory just works. Or it'd make for an awesome fanfic, at the very least.

 

== The Curse of Crystal Cove is what makes people dress as monsters ==

 

== Fred has high-functioning autism/Aspergers syndrome. ==

 

== Mystery Inc. will eventually get fed up with the town's attitude and quit...at the worst possible moment ==

== The Sheriff and Mayor are secretly a couple ==

Think about it. You hardly see them without each other and in the Humangonauts episode, they were at that tourist attraction together and the Sheriff wasn't on duty. Can we say date?

** Jossed by the cold way in which {{spoiler|Sheriff Stone is fired by the Mayor in episode 24}}.

** Double Jossed by {{spoiler|The fact that the Sherriff having to arrest his boss for a) the Freak of Crystal Cove thing and b) kidnapping a child for at most 17 years of his life.}}

 

== The following is [[Our Mermaids Are Different|Amy Cavenaugh/Amy the Siren]]'s planned plan ==

* 2) Send an anonymous tip to Mystery Inc. via e-mail.

* 3) Befriend Velma as [[Scarecrow Solution|Amy the Siren.]]

* 7) A few days later, send "a thank you" e-mail to Mystery Inc. with the sign-off: Princess Amy of the Mermaids.

 

* {{spoiler|Cassidy Williams aka Angel Dynamite}} was the [[Action Girl]], probably the Lancer or even [[The Big Guy|The Big Girl]] of [[Cute Bruiser]] type.

* {{spoiler|Ricky Owens}} was [[The Smart Guy]], which somewhat explains {{spoiler|Professor Pericles' seeming betrayal}} - two Smart Guys within the team don't get along very well.

 

== Somewhere out there, there's a talking dog named Wolfie who knows what Skipper Shelton is talking about. ==

 

== Fred's offer in episode 24 wasn't what it appeared to be. ==

== The Freak of Crystal Cove is... ==

Fred Jones Sr. Neither Pericles nor Mr. E particularly like or trust him, he clearly knows about some of things going on, and he's the most villainous character in entire series.

 

== Scooby will get Velma to save him form the farm, and they'll bond while trying to reunite the rest of the team ==

 

== The 'farm' that Scooby is going to be sent to is Quest Laboratories. ==

* {{spoiler|Jossed}}

 

== Fred's birth name is Geoffrey Michael Chiles. ==

** Geoff and Mike were the developmental characters in what was first titled ''Mysteries Five'' before it became ''Scooby Doo.'' Fred could also have learned his name would have been Ronnie, as that was his original name until he was renamed as a salute to CBS daytime and children's programming chief Fred Silverman.

 

Since "Jr." doesn't appear in the intro to the cartoon. The episode introducing Brad and Judy might go something like this:

* 1) Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, unmask as a monster just as Sheriff Stone arrive. Sheriff Stone wanted to tell the gang that old friends from high school are back.

* 3) Freddie returns disappointed on not finding his parents.

* 4) The gang winds-up in another monster mystery. Judy takes charge of solving mystery. The gang exposes the monster as the usual human crook. Freddie who been watching the gang solve this mystery realizes that Judy and Brad are is parents.

 

== Scooby will have an another [[All Just a Dream]] episode at the beginning of the second season. ==

* {{spoiler|Jossed}}

== Mr. E is an [[Anti-Villain]]. ==

 

 

== The original Mystery Incorporated are representative of what happens to the gang as they lose their ability to communicate with one another. ==

== the show will end up being "hijacked by ganon" during the 2nd season finale ==

 

 

== Season 2 will feature a [[Marble Hornets]] parody ==

 

== The Freak of "Pawn of Shadows" and the Freak of "All Fear the Freak" are not the same. ==

 

Also, remember the Freak's little poem from the beginning of Pawn of Shadows? "From six to one, the spell is spun. No time, to run, the curse begun."? {{spoiler|There are six pieces of the Planoshperic Disc in total, but only one in the chest underneath the church, and this is clearly referencing that fact. However, Professor Pericles clearly had no idea, and was expecting all six peices to be there in the chest. Keep in mind that, at this point, he'd teamed up with the Mayor in exchange for his information, indicating that the Mayor had no idea, either. Could the Mayor have been withholding information from him? Perhaps, but that would mean that he was disguised as the Freak when he led the original Mystery Incorporated to the church and recited that poem, and that would mean that he knew the location of the scroll, which is clearly not the case. And speaking of the poem, why did the Freak's pattern of speech suddenly change between episodes? In Pawn of Shadows he speaks in rhymes, but in All Fear the Freak he can't even put a sentence together. What gives? And what happened to that sword?}}

* Brad and Judy will be found, and then arrested when Mayor Jones leaks the false documents to Government officials.

* The gang will have an adventure in Hollywood with ''impersonators of classic actors'', some dressed as iconic fictional television characters.

 

== Prof. Pericles is the [[Big Good]] ==

* The Planespheric Disk is indeed a map to something important, but Pericles deduced that it's something that needs to be destroyed for it is far too dangerous. {{spoiler|He didn't want his friends involved in finding it and risking their lives so he teamed up with the Mayor to frame them and was going to use the Mayor to find it and destroy it since the Mayor was a [[Jerkass]] anyway. Since he currently has no emotional attachments to the new Mystery Inc. he goads Scooby into "foiling" the search for the rest of the disc.}}

 

* The Vincent Van Ghoul from the series was actually a ghost, and not the actual Vincent Van Ghoul. It was just an illusion to preserve their sanity. Further, this must have been revealed after the series, since they don't immediately act like they knew Vincent Van Ghoul personally.

 

== The Mayor will have a [[Villainous Breakdown]] ==

* That or he will be called out by his son.

 

** Wally Gator

** Magilla Gorilla

** Huckleberry Hound

** Quick-Draw Mc Graw

Like the live action movie, Scrappy will find that [[Broken Pedestal|his uncle was a coward.]] This will be given a more serious treatment as Scooby and the gang were the only people who put up with him. Soon all the backlash agaisnt him piles on his psyche and Prof.Pericles uses this to be his personal pawn, as Scrappy is that unused to having someone to love him. Of course this is all false and Scooby and or Fred break him out of this illusion.

 

 

== The Crybaby Clown is Randy's father from "The Legend of Alice May" ==

 

== The conquistadors' treasure will turn out to be worthless or non-existent ==

 

== Daphne will rejoin Mystery Inc. after Crybaby Clown kidnaps her... ==

== The Crybaby Clown is really Daphne's new boyfriend ==

And he was only dating her in order to get at her family fortune.
