    Just once I’d like to see the gang have to solve an actual mystery. Scooby has to track down a serial killer or a paedophile or a terrorist. At one point he shoots a man, the wrong man, and then starts seeing that man’s face transposed onto other peoples’ bodies. It ends with him trying to open a bottle with his paws because it’s the only thing he can get to the bottom of without having a nervous breakdown.

      This was an episode of Supernatural, it was entertaining because Scoob and the gang were completely psychologically unprepared to be in a world where people get dismembered and butchered by the monsters.

      I don’t think it would be appropriate to have a paedophile in Scooby doo, also they always catch people with nets and stuff. Scooby doo does not carry a gun and that is important

        I think in an era of real criminals, it’s important that we have at least one paedophile on Scooby Doo and that they give Scooby a gun and a backstory about being in Iraq so he hesitates when he shoots, killing a hostage. The gun doesn’t need to be prominent beyond that, but it needs to be in the final scene when he writes “Roward” on the wall and shoots himself under it.

            Scooby Doo took place in an era of boomer criminals. They could only show white collar crime. In the real world, the world where we need Scoob, the monsters do monstrous things. What if Scoob was tasked with solving the Josef Fritzl case? Would he have the stomach for it after three tours in Fallujah or would it eat him alive?
