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 Sucks

 * 1) Writer James Gunn dislikes Scrappy 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.
 * 3) His Scrappy-Rex voices 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.

Trivia

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