Scrappy-Doo (Gosnellverse)

Scrappy-Doo is the main antagonist of the 2002 Raja Gosnell film Scooby-Doo. He was voiced by Scott Innes and J.P. Manoux.

Why He Purposely Sucks

 * 1) In a vein similar to the miscast villainous incarnations of Daffy Duck, Jerry Mouse, Mushu, Patrick Star, Ren Hoek and the Banana Splits, he's been horrendously flanderized beyond recognition, where he went from an obnoxious and brave puppy with plenty of redeeming qualities who improved as time went on into an intentionally obnoxious and insufferable jerk with absolutely zero redeeming qualities whatsoever who holds an intense grudge against the entire gang (including his uncle Scooby). all because that writer James Gunn dislikes Scrappy-Doo so much that he wrote him into the main antagonist, which doesn’t even fit as a Scooby-Doo villain. It doesn’t help that Scrappy vanished from a lot of Scooby-Doo marketing since then.
 * 2) His CGI looks horrendous and he looks like something out of a PlayStation 1 video game cutscene. His Scrappy-Rex design looks even worse.
 * 3) His Scrappy-Rex voice by J.P. Manoux sounds more like a generic bully than a monstrous dog.
 * 4) Scrappy isn’t even a puppy. It turns out he has a gland disorder despite being Scooby’s nephew. It doesn’t help that dogs in real life don’t live long with gland disorders.
 * 5) He deliberately marked his territory on Daphne despite claiming it was an accident.
 * 6) As he gets arrested, he nearly calls Mystery Inc. “meddling sons of bitches” even though the last word was cut off.
 * 7) He overuses his “puppy power” catchphrase to the point where it gets very annoying.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There are a few good moments of foreshadowing the reveal including where the fake Emile Mondavarious scratches himself like a dog and the toy factory is named Wow-O, after one of his catchphrases.
 * 2) For those who aren’t fans of Scrappy like writer James Gunn, his defeat is very satisfying to watch.
 * 3) Scott Innes did a good job voicing Scrappy.
 * 4) He wasn’t even brought up in Monsters Unleashed.
 * 5) It's obvious Scrappy is made a villain in the 2002 Scooby-Doo Movie to make fun of his original counterpart due to how hated he is, meaning that this version of Scrappy is supposed to be a representation of how hated the original version of Scrappy is.

Trivia

 * James Gunn somewhat regretted making Scrappy the villain knowing that some kids actually like Scrappy.
