Dr. Jonathan Jacobo (Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed)

Dr. Jonathan Jacobo is the main antagonist of the 2004 film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. He was played by Tim Blake Nelson.

Why He Isn’t The Real Pterodactyl Ghost

 * 1) His plan seems too simple for a Scooby-Doo film.
 * 2) He has an unfortunate implication for pedophilia where it is revealed he cuddled with Ned the cameraman, who’s clearly in his late teens.
 * 3) He’s a little too similar to Holly Graham from Scooby-Doo Night of 100 Frights for bringing back monsters to life and posing as a mysterious villain.
 * 4) Aside from his Evil Masked Figure persona, he doesn’t seem scary.
 * 5) Alicia Silverstone’s acting for Heather Jasper Howe is wooden and felt like it was too obvious that she played the villain.
 * 6) Heather Jasper Howe is wasted potential. It would have been better if she is secretly Jacobo’s daughter but it proves to be a nonsensical disguise.
 * 7) Judging by how different he is from Scrappy-Doo, he feels more like a villain of a reboot rather than a sequel.
 * 8) He got changed from a janitor to a mad scientist.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Scott McNeil and Tim Blake Nelson acted in his Evil Masked Figure and Dr. Jacobo forms quite well.
 * 2) Unlike Scrappy-Doo from the first film, at least he was a villain in the original cartoons.
 * 3) The Evil Masked Figure’s mask is very expressive with impressive practical effects.
 * 4) He hilariously yelled “Help me, suckers!” during his attempted prison escape.
 * 5) While poorly executed, his attempts to falsely defame Mystery Inc. aged very well due to the rise of misinformation in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
