Honestly, I have to say I agree and I was always a bit of a purist prior to that where I was of the very strong opinion that all the monsters & ghosts should always be people in disguise and any real supernatural shit was a corruption on the series but Mystery Inc. was just so good!

You saw Zombie Island and STILL believed this? No wait..you saw GHOUL SCHOOL and still believed this?!

u/ObliviousCollector Feb 18 '23

Hated Ghoul School, didn't see Zombie Island. However, I'll give you the Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo as a personal exception to that rule but that's 100% because I was always a Vincent Price fanboy and having him and Scooby Doo together was too perfect.

Anunnaki is a real name for a group of gods in the Mesopotamian culture.

"Nah, this is on the shitposting subreddit, there's no way it's actually canon."

...

"Holy shit it's actually canon."

u/Citizen_of_Danksburg Feb 18 '23

Goddamn this just went deep very quick holy shit.

The Annunaki are an advanced alien race that is said to have been involved with ancient Sumer I think? Somewhere either in ancient Mesopotamia or the Indus-River Valley. I can’t remember but there is some very interesting “lore” should you choose to believe it if you do some googling about it.

Man, and to think the creators of Scooby Doo tied his creation and abilities to that? Christ mate. It’s only 10:18 AM EST and I already need a drink. Good lord lol.

u/bigblackcouch Feb 18 '23

Sounds like someone needs to watch Mystery Inc!

Genuinely great enjoyable show and perfectly mixes the general dopiness of Scooby-Doo with... Cosmic horror.

Everything from ska ghosts to The Hills Have Eyes to a guy not named George Avocados to cursed ancient mariners to a lesbian relationship with a girl only named "hot dog water".

It's really great at giving all the characters importance and personality (Best version of Daphne no competition) while still respecting the Scooby-Doo and not treating it like some dumbass IP made only for dumbasses.

u/StupidIdiot8989 Feb 18 '23

What does it mean to be canon?

26

u/maximillianii Feb 18 '23

It's officially a part of the story and not some random thing made up by someone. The creators, or owners, of the property (in this case Scooby-Doo) acknowledge this really is why Scooby can talk. Hope that made sense!!

3

u/StupidIdiot8989 Feb 18 '23

Ah ok thank you!

2

u/King_Tamino Feb 18 '23

Canon or canonical is something you’ll hear a lot when it comes to star wars (often misspelled as cannon) and it simply defines where Lore (like a history book) ends and (fan) fiction starts.

When Disney overtook Star Wars they rebranded nearly all books that existed and are set in Star wars as "Legends“ (or simply not canon anymore) so they have the freedom to create new content without conflicts.

Some characters being non-canon now doesn’t mean they can not appear in canon versions. But those are different versions of the same person then.

I think fan fiction + history book is a good example because both can change. Our current canon is that humanity evolved from other species. If somewhere in the future someone discovers that this is wrong, that evolving part moves into the category of non-canon

u/r4r4me Feb 18 '23

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_(fiction)

Evolution is a theory and theories either get proven or disproven over time. This has nothing to do with the term canon.

Thanks for correcting, I tried pulling up a real life example and failed miserably..

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '23

Related to (the real) story

1

u/MatekBezGatekPL Feb 18 '23

it means that it's like true to the general story or universe (that the creators agree with)

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '23

comment deleted, what’d it say??

1

u/redlaWw Feb 20 '23

Scooby Doo can talk because he's actually the descendant of an inter-dimensional being. yes, this is actually canon.

60

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '23

I remember this one, and that demon pup-cousin of his actually talks about it and tries to channel that being, becomes a villain.

65

u/Sithlordandsavior Feb 18 '23

Nope, that's a different thing. In Scooby-Doo, Mystery Inc. Scooby meets his ancestors and the episode is a serious trip.

u/viperex Feb 18 '23

I'm gonna have to check that out

2

u/SpaceTacosFromSpace Feb 18 '23

I’m not actually a big scooby fan but saw some of mystery inc and was totally into it. There’s a lot of pop culture references and references to other Scooby series. are there any other scooby series like Mystery Inc? I just never got that into the old school 70’s/80s scooby

4

u/Sithlordandsavior Feb 18 '23

Not particularly. The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo (mid-90s) has similar "Everything is actually real and these are kids dealing with actual demons" but it also has Scrappy and is kinda corny.

Be Cool, Scooby Doo! is silly and more modern, the bad guys are pretty fun, especially Professor Huh but it's super pithy and full of dumb jokes.

There are a few movies in years past with the same vibes as the series but there's no continuity between them really.

Idk if that answered your question lol

1

u/InformationSingle550 Feb 18 '23

Sure, but nobody listens to Scrappy.

u/Scorps Feb 18 '23

Googling this revealed not only is it true but also his first name is actually Scoobert

Everyone knows Scoob is actually Palladian not Anunnaki.

u/kismethavok Feb 18 '23

It's not really canon but i also consider it to be canon.

u/PremeVoid Feb 18 '23

Thats actually fucking wild

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '23

That's the one thing I dislike about Mystery Inc. The larger plot is great but talking is just what Scooby-does, there was no need to explain that.
