DC's fun Scooby-Doo Team-Up series has paired the Mystery, Inc. gang up with most of the DCU heroes, but there's no reason they can't cross paths with Marvel stars here on the blog. Man-Thing would be at the top of the list for me. I'd like to see them try tearing that mask off!
Ruh-ro. Shaggy and Scooby are toast.
ReplyDeleteThe Scooby-Doo Team-Up series by Sholly Fisch is great fun. Is this the start of a new series on the blog? Please?
ReplyDeleteCary Where are You??
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till they pop off the head mask of this Man-Thing to see who he really is!! B. J. Honeycutt?? Neil Patrick Harris? Only Kent Allard knows at this point.
Shaggy: "ZOINKS!!!!"
ReplyDeleteVelma: "JINKIES!!!"
Fred: "Gang, it looks like we've got another mystery on our hands."
Daphne: "Yeah. Like the mystery of why we're still standing here instead of...RUNNING FOR OUR LIVES!"
{Cue bubblegum chase music.}
How was that, Tobor? :-)
Ruh Roh!
ReplyDelete@Emsley: Roo reddit!
ReplyDeleteMan-Thing would be most fun in a "the monster is real after all" story, where they unmask the phony Man-Thing to reveal the true villain, and then encounter the real one at the end.
ReplyDeleteBut there are quite a few Marvel characters who would be good with the Mystery Inc. crew: Morbius, Brother Voodoo, and Majik come right to mind.
I wonder what Scooby would think of Lockheed?
ReplyDeleteNo one knows fear as well as Shaggy and Scooby. And whatever knows fear...
ReplyDeleteCary, REAH!!
ReplyDeleteBtw: I just got back from seeing THE MARVELS. I found it better than THE ETERNALS, but nowhere near as entertaining as CAPT. MARVEL (or even THE BLACK WIDOW). For one thing, Marvel/Disney over-confidently assumes that everybody who goes to see this flick will have streamed the Disney+ series "Ms. Marvel" and "Wandavision." Not so.
ReplyDeleteThen there's the apparent self-parody involving Prince Yen Sid's people communicating entirely in song. Was that really and truly integral to the plot? Or was it just intended as comedy relief? If the latter, it failed with me. I found it as irritating as Kamala's over-utterance of OMG's!*
Fortunately, it did deliver on the pathos and the super-action. So, on that basis, I give it...5 out of 10 stars.
*Worse than a 1980's San Fernando Valley-girl overusing the word "like."
Let the counter-pointing commence.
ReplyDeleteTHERE
ReplyDeleteno, There
Uhuh, tHERE!
No, here!!
Counter pointing has commenced
@Detective Tobor: lol! Well said.
ReplyDelete@XCary: I saw The Marvels Thursday. I didn't judge the musical bit, since I don't know whether that planet is a part of the Marvel Universe in comics, so the only serious directorial misstep was how "Evacuation Plan B" was handled (I won't go into details so as to not spoil the plot point). I thought that it could've been done in a more straightforward manner, with less panic, and I especially thought that the musical choice, while cute, was improper. But like you said, "it delivered on the pathos and the super-action," the more character-based humor was very well done (thanks in large part to Iman Vellani and Zenobia Schroff), and all three lead actresses are very good at their jobs. The mid-credits scene also has a cameo that's well worth waiting for.
ReplyDeleteScooby-Doo joins the Pet Avengers!
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwade: Who was Nia DaCosta suppoesed to be, though. Lady Infinity?
ReplyDelete@Anon1114: that wasn't the director pulling a Hitchcock. It was Tessa Thompson as the black-haired Valkyrie from the MCU Thor movies.
ReplyDeletePrince Yen Sid? Oh… That’s just Disney Backwards!
ReplyDelete@Anon1217: Exactly! That's not the actual name of the character, of course. I just didn't want to print any more spoilers than I (probably) already had.
ReplyDeleteThe Scooby gang should team up with Dr. Thirteen since they have the same gimmick: debunking charlatans masquerading as the supernatural. Or alternately, the Phantom Stranger, since he used to interrupt Dr. Thirteen and show him the supernatural was real.
ReplyDelete@Fanboy Films: I'd wait for STF #4313. It'd be more mathematically fitting.
ReplyDelete;-)
By my math, that's roughly Feb. 3, 2024! :-(
