      FACT: Carl Sagan, in his final book "The Demon Haunted World," called SCOOBY-DOO a more beneficial work on the subject of the paranormal than THE X-FILES because it consistently taught children to be skeptical and that all things were rationally explainable. 🤯👍

      Well, the original Scooby-Doo, not so much the remakes/sequels

      Really weird how they keep missing the point on this and everyone acts like it doesn't matter. It weirdly makes the original seem a lot more groundbreaking, honestly.

      It's funny because "It wasn't a ghost, it was just Old Man Sutter!" "And I'd have gotten away with it too if not for you meddling kids!" is such an indelible meme I guess that's why the later versions thought it was too predictable and they had to subvert it

      I actually think modern writers, particularly in the movies, just can't wrap their heads around a story about a group of ghost hunters where there is no actual ghost.

      Like at least they need to throw in a sci-fi machine or robot or something because if there's nothing fantastic or supernatural then why do we care about the group of stoners in the van, right? What's the X? The X, of course, is that there is no ghost.

      Also to be fair, the various hologram projectors and motorized monster suits and whatnot the villains used in classic Scooby-Doo to make the fake hauntings scary *were* science fiction They just weren't treated as such

      Yeah, it's hard to verbalize, but there's a clear line between sci-fi tech and crazy tech that it was ok to use in a modern day cartoon setting at the time of the original Scooby, but they certainly went for the latter.

      Velma wasn't out there going "Holy shit, this is gonna revolutionize the world of entertainment", she was just going "of course he was using a mechanical Loch Ness monster" like she could order one from a catalogue.

      Obviously the actual social problem in Scooby-Doo was a conservative government lagging behind in licensing and regulation of the mechanical Loch Ness monster market

      I've actually sometimes thought about the implications of a world where a realistic "hologram projector" was as cheap and easy to use as it apparently was on that show Wouldn't it be even more useful for mundane, non-supernatural hoaxes and crimes
