Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Fred Jones - Blog Posts
How have I never heard this!? Amazing song, spectacular animation, and whatever the heck sort of tonal dissonance you get singing a song about avoiding supernatural threats while blithely picking a fight with nature and all its dangers.
Love this song so much, best in the whole franchise
My dad discovered last night that his wife of almost twenty years doesn’t like Scooby Doo. We were all in shock.
Some of Fred Jones' best moments:
Totally not a subtweet about how he is portrayed in the Velma series.
No not at all about that new show.
Totally not actually about his complete mischaracterization that has absolutely no basis on any of the previous incarnations of the character.
That it reduces him to a stereotype he never fit in the first place.
And erases a fun, kind, silly and caring male character for another fill in stereotype we have seen a million times for no reason other than its easy.
NoPe. Not about that at all.
The one good thing to come from the Velma show is that now everyone is watching and appreciating the master piece that is Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated
I still just cannot believe they made Fred obsessed with portraying Toxic Masculinity in the Velma show.
Fred?
‘Ascot wearing’ Fred?
‘Metrosexual icon’ Fred?
‘Cried openly during the goodbye scene in Alien Invaders’ Fred?
‘Drinks his respect women juice daily’ Fred?
‘Unapologetically affectionate with Shaggy’ Fred?
That Fred? Obsessed with Toxic Masculinity? The audacity. The gall. The clownery.
a scooby doo series set in community college where the gang is in a criminology class and end up in a huge debate on the first day of class that leads to them starting a podcast talking about local urban legends, only to realize things aren’t quite adding up and they go to investigate for ~journalistic authenticity~ and end up solving a real-life crime disguised as supernatural occurrences. this happens every week and they’re frequently featured on the school newspaper. they only have twenty listeners
