Film Theory: Scooby Doo is an Alien?!

The mask: Scooby do is an alien The true identity: The entire Scooby doo time-line

What I expect: *scoob is an alien* What I got: A lecture about a multiverse.

This hits different after "Velma Meets the Original Velma"

Who's here after seeing the Avocado Animations short horror piece?

"I thought I was blind without my glasses.... But Im just blind."

MatPat: “Different shirt, different universe obviously”. Me: looks down at my red shirt, spirals into existential crisis

And here we are, visiting this video again after Avocado Animation uploaded a literal masterpiece (Edit) the reply chain still going strong after a month 💀

i absolutely love the mystery incorporated show, especially lore & mystery wise, but i also really miss the old iconic art style 😭 it seems like the art style of every animated show these days just gets simpler & simpler

Title: Scooby doo is an alien Actual theory: Scooby doo has two time lines.

MatPat: *theorizes how Scooby Doo has multiple timelines Also Matpat: *titles the video "scooby doo is an alien"

Matpat 2020: "How long did that meme last again? A week?" Multiversus today: "That was only a fraction of this meme's true potential."

Going into this video I would not have guessed a Supernatural crossover episode was a key part of the intricate Scooby Doo lore but here we are

Mattpat: "Scooby is actually an Alien!" Anyone who watched The Scooby Doo Alien Invasion movie: "Hmm, Yes."

The fact that Scooby is an alien isn’t even the weirdest part of this theory

PART 2 So, quite a few problems with this theory, but I'll be focusing on two entries in particular to illustrate the problem: Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, and Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated. Let's move on to Mystery Incorporated. Lets first address the many monsters at the museum. While it's easy to think they indicate that other iterations of the franchise happened in the same timeline as this, there's a problem with that thanks to one monster in particular: the Luna Ghost from the Live Action Scooby-Doo movie. That movie's introduction specifically involved the gang breaking up over long standing issues after the Luna Ghost's capture, a two year timeskip then occuring leading into the main events of the movie. While this WOULD fit with the reference to not speaking of Scrappy again since that was the movie Scrappy was the villain, the main problem is that the movie established the gang were firmly ADULTS at that point, being "twenty somethings", whereas the gang in Mystery Incorporated are still in High School, meaning the timeline doesn't match up. It's more likely that the ghosts in the museum are just references, monsters the gang unmasked in this universe, but under different circumstances. Something furthered with the debut episode of character Alice May, a mercenary who claims to be the daughter of the Creeper, and even has a flashback to a reanimated version of the Creeper's debut episode showing her as a little girl, but it's later revealed she made the whole thing up, a visual clue being the fact that Alice May is supposed to be THEIR age, yet the flashback would suggest she's much younger than them since they were the same age in it, and she fully expected the gang to realize she made it up, by which point she'd have long achieved her actual goal and escaped. The idea of there being only TWO timelines is also put in question by the final episode. At the end of the final episode in the "Perfect World", the gang receives a disc from the new "Mr. E", revealed to be Harlan Ellison. Yes, THAT Harlan Ellison. He reveals that, like them, he remembers the old timeline with the Nibiru Entity, stating he remembers ALL iterations of himself due to his study into alternate realities. He also makes clear that this is NOT the first time reality has reset, this is just the first one the gang can actually REMEMBER, implying the reason they remember is because of their actions in destroying the Entity. As a result, he reveals he's working as a professor at Miskatonic University, and has enrolled the gang in his class, telling them there's a lot more mystery to uncover and more meddling to do, and he wants to work with them now that he's not the only one who survived a reset. The gang decides to take him up on his offer, leaving Crystal Cove and going on a cross-country trip to Massachusetts. The fact Harlan Ellison states this is NOT the first time the universe reset would suggest that the connection between each series is that they are all different iterations of a time loop. While certain details may remain the same, such as certain monsters like the Creeper or details like Fred's love of traps, others are a lot more variable, like which town the gang grew up in, and whether there are supernatural elements readily apparent. So it's not TWO timelines, it's ONE timeline, trapped in an endless loop. There's some theory fodder for you: try to find out why the timeline is in an endless loop.

This hits different after Avocado Animation’s video…

MatPat should make a Food Theory on the total calories eaten by Shaggy over the course of the series.

"I thought I was blind without my glasses, but I was just blind." I don't need glasses but that's gonna be my senior quote.

"No matter... I'll get it right, next time."

Good thing he did this before Velma came out. Imagine being forced to watch that train wreck.
