How to Fix SCOOBY DOO and the CYBER CHASE

[@diegohernandeznater8938]

This was my favorite film as a kid, but I distinctly remember always being disappointed they skipped through half the levels XD. It was fun to watch this retrospective on it, and the critiques are definitely valid

[@nathanadams3094]

Same wished they would have shown more of the levels

[@EthansUploads]

Same

[@elryano2384]

[@ApexPredator1000]

That's probably why I enjoyed the video game so much since you got to go through those levels.

[@faceSSScase3]

Gotta play the ps1 game to get the full lore lol

[@SomeNorthProvKid]

Cyber Chase is the Scooby Doo movie I think would be amazing if they revisited it today as a theatrical movie. The levels being different settings in their respected art styles from the 53 years worth of shows and movies (such as Coolsville from a pup named Scooby-Doo and Crystal Cove from Mystery Inc.) . And the monsters are one that we have unmasked before and at first they try to capture them the same way they did last time but it doesn't work this time or at-least one of the monster needs to be captured differently to progress in the game. Add different Scooby Doo gangs in their art styles and have them mix and match with each other gangs. If possible they could bring back the original live action gang idk why but I think that would be amazing to see. Other than the 4 original straight to home movie what Scooby Doo home movie is your favorite?

[@offbeatkiki]

Seeing more art style changes would be so dope. I haven't seen a lot of the more modern ones TBH! I always loved Ghoul School but that was a TV movie

[@erikm8373]

There's always something funny about how some stories portray a "digital world" inside computers that just kind of exists, almost as an alternate plane of reality. Like, everything portrayed on a screen is a window into a fully formed world full of tangible objects

[@Blokewood3]

It's like Scooby-Doo meets Digimon.

[@Matanumi]

@@Blokewood3 pretty much...

[@river_snow]

I personally loved the pacing of this one! the montage felt hype and the culmination of classic villains in the end was a great slap of nostalgia all at once rather than progressively teasing it over and over. Happy you mentioned the game! It was a blast as a child.

[@ClearCubess]

This one will always hold a special place in my heart. The montage slaps so hard and I still quote “where there’s a will there’s a wooly mammoth” to this day. Definitely a bit of a missed opportunity given the possibilities in the premise alone but nonetheless love this one.

[@jimmyjohns2201]

Man cyber chase was brilliant my favorite Scooby Doo movie 🍿

[@weirdproq]

As a kid this also was my favorite out of the first four direct to video movies. It also didn't hold up as much for me either, although I still like it, and Zombie Island is my favorite now. I really liked all the classic monsters that show up to chase them, and the digital Scooby gang with their old outfits. I especially like how digital Shaggy is wearing his red shirt and blue jeans from the 80's era of Scooby-doo.

[@sissysovereign1294]

Yeah that was a really nice touch to put Cyber Shaggy in his 80s outfit and have Cyber cooby match him with his collar since the real ones were already in their retro look.

[@jacobhake342]

Oh, is that why! Ngl, that bothered me as a kid, I was like: "They had the clever idea of giving the digital versions the original costumes and art style, but for Shaggy they just... give him a completely different outfit?" I completely forgot about his cringey red-shirt era!

[@FabbrizioPlays]

Honestly the fact that the goal of the levels is to collect scooby snacks and the levels themselves have nothing to do with one another is just accurate to the state of license titles in 2001.

[@zgamer200]

I'm surprised that Cyberchase was your favorite of these films, at least before the rewatch. For me Zombie Island was the best of the 4 "The Monsters are Real" Scooby-Doo films. It genuinely scared me as a kid, and I can't say that about any of the other films. I think it helps that it also had an overall darker color palette than Cyberchase. It probably also helps that I love "It's Terror Time Again." Meanwhile Cyberchase just didn't scare me at all as a kid. The design of the villain wasn't scary or creepy at all, the really bright, arguably over so, colors made it a lot harder to be scared imo, and I was way more fascinated by the gang meeting up with their in-game counterparts and also by the idea of a Scooby-Doo video game(look I was 5 in 01, I wasn't very aware of what video games existed). As for the rewrite you proposed, I do like the idea of having all 10 levels being about past villains, but I do wonder if that might have gotten old towards the end. Maybe you could chop the number of levels down considering the movie needed a montage of several levels. Maybe doing 5 levels where you get a new Mystery Gang member each level to help change up the comedic dynamic a bit could work.

[@christopherb501]

Which was your favorite of the many OTHER movies/specials/miniseries/whatever that have had real monsters?

[@offbeatkiki]

I thought it was the "coolest", but my favorite was def Zombie Island

[@triforceofcourage100]

I like your idea but I’d make it six levels the first five are as you described the creeper being the first boss as he’s the best known. Level six I’d actually base off the previous movies and have Simone and Leena, Sarah and Ben Ravencroft, and maybe I’d have the seti crew as their alien forms all being led by the phantom virus I’d also have the full gang in the final level.

[@icecreamhero2375]

I disagree about the collecting Scooby Snack thing. I think it works fine. I feel like doing remakes of their past adventures would be too easy. Wouldn't they just know how to solve the cases?

[@jjrollins313]

I see your point and I'd be almost completely fine with it, but the way they went about it was...meh ok

[@advenco344]

True, but it would’ve been a cool and funny idea to have them attempt to speed run the cases and have them not work for whatever reason.

[@gipadonimus]

I think it might have also been a homage to games with their limitations at the time, and how many old tie-in games would be nonsensical to the sources plot or themes.

[@kateorgera5907]

The interesting thing about your rewrite is, Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed used a very similar concept - by having the costumes of their previous villains come to life , the gang had to revisit their past and defeat them again. The only thing missing is the video game aspects and the gang meeting themselves. If Cyber Chase had gone that route, Scooby Doo 2 would look VERY different, I'd imagine. Also, I would argue the problem was corporate bureaucracy more than capitalism or nepotism, since the higher ups imposed their will on the team and used someone who was already on staff. Not saying the two are unrelated in this case, but it's more directly a bureaucracy problem.

[@donnie2832]

Because of all the baseball references, it was easy to figure out who was causing all the trouble. The writers shouldn’t have made it so obvious. Other than that, it was enjoyable. It’s my 3rd favorite. 1. Zombie Island, 2. Witches Ghost, 3. Cyber Chase.

[@lycanthis9963]

That off script rant couldn't be more true. Just look at The Owl House. Finally has it's 3rd season, but got prematurely cancelled and shortened to three 45 minute specials because some idiot executives decided it wasn't what they wanted the company to do anymore, despite being one of the best shows Disney has produced recently.

[@boomboom6410]

I remember the Cyber Chase being my favorite because I was always a sucker for video games as a kid, and still am, so even though it may not have been the best of the bunch I still enjoy it just for the unique concept alone.

[@justinkunheeyi]

You cant argue that the chase themes and scenes in this movie were legendary though

[@Braydon2144]

This is still my personal favorite Scooby Doo movie, but a lot of your points are valid. I'll always say that I think it could've been really cool if this was a tv show. Like them going through each level in an episode. Either way though, this movie was amazing to me as a kid, and still now. Seeing the original monsters that I grew up watching, coming back to be in this film was so nostalgic and really cool. They still nailed it with the music in the film, and had a lot of memorable chase scenes. The villain was obvious though. I mean come on, the phantom virus says something about baseball in every level lol

[@ultraninja13]

I started thinking "why try to fix this movie" now honestly I think you bring up some great points. I feel like the only problem becomes they could use their experience but the virus possession idea kind of counters this issue.

[@KingBobaFett434]

The only thing I would do is change the culprit and add more levels to it.

Yes!!!! Scoobtober has begun!! 😍 While Cyber Chase is my least favorite of the four movies you will be covering, that isn’t saying much - it is still VERY nostalgic for me. While Cyber Chase does involve a real monster, the atmosphere of this movie feels drastically different from the other three that you will be covering this month. It just doesn’t feel as weird/creepy as the other three. And I just wish we could have seen a little more of the other levels in the game, aside from seeing them in a montage. Long story short - thank you for giving me a dose of nostalgia this week :) I am so excited for the rest of Scoobtober! 🥰

[@lewgallagher463]

I owned the GBA version of this game which entertained me enough as a kid when these came out, but as a little boy I was also in the hospital a lot due to severe asthma complications. I remember my dad would always do scooby impressions whilst we sat and played the PS1 game together. Despite their flaws, these movies will and these versions of the characters will always be hold a special place for me. Then again, I was generally scooby-obsessed as a kid!

Fighting the virus IRL at the end would have been cool!

[@TempRawr]

Defintely glad the show was still fun even if it wasn't as good as the others. Especially as a kid, and now a adult, I think just exploring so many places was just fun. Beating levels, traveling, as a poor kid this one really took you out of reality for a good bit.

[@jjrollins313]

I just simply liked it because it was apart of the movie collection that last used those animation style, but now I see what you're getting at and I agree. Now I do remember not being too satisfied with the level skips. Witch's Ghost and Zombie Island were my favorites. I liked how in Zombie Island it shows how they all moved on in life. Daphne was a breath of fresh air with her having the most character development from the damsel in distress. With Witch's Ghost I like how Thorn is actually 1/16th wiccan which was a nice twist. Also how many witches are actually wiccans were persecuted falsely, but the wiccan was actually a witch the entire time. Both of those films had an extra layer of complexity in their story in my opinion. Now though those are my favorite, Alien Invaders are in their own category. It was more so emotional for me. I don't think I've seen a love story such as this in the Scooby Doo franchise up until that point. The fact they were aliens made it even more so like drama. Love interests literally worlds apart. I was hoping maybe Scooby and Shaggy got to see them again at least one more time, in another film possibly. (Hey they did a sequel to Zombie Island, but we don't talk about that.)

Scooby Doo on Zombie Island was the main event for a Friday night after school. Witch’s Ghost was a great Saturday night feature, Alien Invaders can also be watched on a Saturday but I prefer the darker Witch’s Ghost to play us out on a Saturday night. Cyber Chase… is the movie you watch on a Sunday afternoon while you dread having to go back to school the next day. 😪😪 It’s still fun enough, the ending where they say goodbye to their game avatars is sweet and feels like a signing off for this era of Scooby Doo that revived the franchise. Also Scooby and Shaggy eating the whole cafeteria was funny.

[@jacobwilliams1223]

Biggest thing was for a game about Scooby Doo's history, it really fell flat. Why are the levels (Minus maybe the last one) just such generic locations? Would've been cooler if each level was designed around iconic Scooby Doo cases and locations with a fitting ghost to each one rather than stuffing the fan service all at the last level. Also they made the reveal way WAY too obvious even by Scooby Doo standards. Would've been an effective twist if the other scientist was behind it and framed the baseball guy with his overt love of sports as tips to try to frame him.

[@Matanumi]

Because in universe the fame designers had no idea what they were doing

[@tesha9138]

It would be cool if the Werecat Trio, Ben & Sarah Ravencroft and the Alien "Invaders" returned (As cyber versions that is) and teamed up with the Phantom Virus and the other monsters to defeat Mystery Ink. Though some of their voice actors wouldn't want to reprise their roles so unless it's major villains, the more minor ones probably wouldn't have a speaking role.

[@seandearmond519]

Eric should have been revealed as the villain; with the baseball clues so beating-over-your-head obvious that his friend must have been framed.

[@Tasuke]

Cyber Chase was always my favorite so I'm a bit sad to hear the staff didn't like the plot and didn't like making the movie. Admittedly, it is based primarily on nostalgia and seeing the movie come on TV during the summer or on a relaxing Sunday, so there's definitely some external emotional value to my opinion on the film. I didn't mind the level montage but I can see why it would not be fun for others.

[@HithereJimHerald]

Had the movie on VHS as a kid, I completely forgot about all of the weirdness with the ancient levels! I can only really remember the second half with the vintage gang. Also had the game and never beat it! Man I kind of want to dig that out now

[@5Detective]

Oh, good, I was worried at the beginning that this was your favorite of the films, haha. It's not bad, but I definitely agree with what you said here. The best part of the film is them interacting with their "digital" versions. I'd never really considered the villain here retroactively as being innocent, which is both funny, and like you said, kind of upsetting in some ways. I'm really looking forward to the other film reviews/retrospectives. Hope you're doing well and not overworking yourself. Edit: I also know you're only covering the main films this month, but I'm definitely going to ask you about the Red (pink?) Shirt Shaggy films if I catch you on stream. I really love Ghoul School and Reluctant Werewolf.

[@CJ-442]

To be fair, most kid’s adventure games in the late 90’s and early 00’s had “themed” level designs that had nothing to do with the overall premise that the game was based on. I’m thinking of games like Spyro or Crash Bandicoot (since those are what I was playing at the time this movie was released). They both have Dinosaur, Samurai, and Arctic levels in one or all of their games even though those themes have nothing to do with a magical purple dragon or a “Bandicoot” that’s from some tropical Pacific-espue island.

I really do wish that Warner Brothers allowed the original creators to have the creative liberty that they deserved because Zombie Island is a BANGER... your ideas for what could've been were really cool and if they hired the right team nowadays (Although I don't think that'll be the case because of Velma), a Return to the Cyber Chase with these elements would probably be one of the best Scooby-Doo movies ever. You've gained a new subscriber, glad to be here.

[@bboops23]

7:57 your listing of the iconic villains just reminds me how much those villains were intrinsic to the franchise. I have also been a lifelong Scooby Doo fan. I don't remember watching Cyber Chase, but I also somehow do, so I must have at least seen it in passing. I think that it would have been great to revisit the enemies of their past, but I think that it would have been interesting if they started by trying to solve the first case the way they originally did and it didn't work. They then realize that each case (level) can only be solved after they find the levels Scooby Snacks as those are the game's key items. And maybe the details of each level are completely wrong for what it was like in the game. It would also be funny if they used the old door gag as a game mechanic. You enter a door and when you exit, it is a different door.

I've always liked the video game much more than the movie. I don't blame you for not finishing it, it's rather difficult, especially in the later levels.

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

Don't forget that Level 10 had the same chase twice. The same pairs get chased by the same monsters *immediately* after the first chase ends. Feel like maybe some of that time could've gone to another level.

I would love to see a vid on Total Drama, The Snorks, The Smurfs, The Powerpuff Girls & Josie & The Pussycats.

Be fair, when talking about the scooby doo video game.. there was an era when Scooby, Shaggy and Scrappy didn't solve mysteries :)

[@shemarmagee7311]

This is my second favorite movie!! First obviously zombie island! The other two are also second place. Heck, I love them all!

Out of all the 4 original direct-to-video Scooby-Doo films this is the one I saw the most because I actually owned it in my collection and it's also my least favorite of the 4 original films.

[@dragonfirenetwork4554]

If the gang faced an old villain on 4 of the levels in boss battle style that would have made the movie even better

[@cortfoster1543]

At least actual Scooby video games were smart enough to revisit classic capers. Classic creep capers and night of 100 frights come to mind

[@BennSimonn]

I hated how the Creeper would yell "CREEPER!" in this when he didn't in his original appearance

As a fan of all 4 movies from this time this one could've been the best but lacked a memorable soundtrack and main villian... like who would've thought on Zombie Island the sweet ol captain Jacques was working with the evil cat ladies??? And the Hex girls literally had me at their first performance lol... also Shaggy's love song about an Alien lives in my head rent free cuz I was just happy to see my man win... with cyber chase you got Bill and I guess a hummable lil tune... smh... take me back to the 90s please 🥺

Ive been watching old movies and I get Scooby Doo vibes from the "Abbott and Costello Meet" era as well as from Monster Squad and Ernest movies I would enjoy seeing you see those to see if you also catch the same vibes Also I feel like the Virtual Reality Fad in movies and TV was basically just an excuse to dump characters in to random settings they never understood Video Games 2nd video idea A look at video games in media and who gets them right or wrong If you want to see GOOD video game stories, watch Glitch Techs My fav scoobys to discuss The New Scooby-Doo Movies The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated "Bravo Dooby-Doo" Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island though its been done before so it'll be hard to say some thing new Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon Scooby-Doo! Adventures: The Mystery Map Lego Scooby-Doo! Haunted Hollywood Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost Scoob Daphne & Velma Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? Velma

That some missed opportunity that Scooby Doo meets Abbot and Costello

[@sasamichan]

@@srstriker6420 Have to agree Ive said that a few times I mean they had Laural and Hardy, the Three Stooges, Don Knots, The Addams Family, so why not?

Bill was apparently making Lethal League

Lethal League Blaze is easily the most fun I've had with a fighting game. ORDINARY DAY AWOOOO

@@offbeatkiki Candyman is my favorite, i love his goofy yet deranged style. and the music is just perfect

[@connorbeith3232]

I find this film's understanding of gaming and virtual reality to be funny, like imagine if you or any real object could be literally transported into the game instead of just putting a helmet on? lol

[@maldon3659]

I agree with you about the levels having different villains from the classic show, hell they could've used villains from the previous movies like Sarah Ravencroft from The Witch's Ghost or the "Aliens" from Alien Invaders
