Was he the very first Poochie?
>>156248006The guy Poochie was parodying was
>>156248006Well, he IS a dog after all.
>>156248006He was the first Scrappy.
>>156248006He essentially saved the franchise, so you should show some respect..
>>156248041>Saves the franchise>Gets raped, villainized and murdered for over 30 years for it
>>156248054If I was given full freedom control over a Looney Tunes movie staring Bugs and Daffy, you better believe I'll do the same shit to Bugs and make Daffy the unequivocal hero, as he should be
>>156248041He saved the franchise TWICE by killing Mindy Kaling’s self insert.
>>156248107And returns as a ghost so whats the point
>single-handedly brainwashes an entire generation into hating ScrappyUmm, thanks?
>>156248006There was that floating green guy from the future from the Flintstones, he seems like an earlier Poochie
>>156248041This is so fucking overblown. Scrappy didn't save the franchise. The franchise was saved by the fact it mixed things up so drastically and focused on Shaggy and Scooby dealing with actual real life monsters. If Scrappy was actually that integral to the franchises survival he'd have made a legitamate appearance since 1986 that wasn't either a joke or the outright antagonist.
>>156248502It's more accurate to say "Scrappy's inclusion shook up the formula to reinvigorate popularity for Scooby Doo" but that's too complicated to say all the time
No one misses Scrappy. His absence never made things worse, and his presence never made things better. Those are not things you can say about the rest of the gang.
Let's see >Flintstones/The Great Gazoo: 1965>Scooby-Doo/Scrappy-Doo: 1969>Jetsons/Orbitty:1985
>>156248821Sorry>Scrappy-Doo: 1979
