This past week, I just got a chance to watch the "Scoobynatural" crossover episode. Without exaggeration, I think I can safely say it was the best Scooby crossover to date!
Personally, I've always loved the more adult horror take that Zombie Island had on the series' classic formula. That's part of the reason I loved this crossover so much. It provided more of an adult look at Scooby than we've ever seen before, and in fact went a bit further than Zombie Island in that regard. The reimagining of "A Night of Fright is No Delight" was ingenious and fit so well with the darker tone of the episode. I absolutely adored all the references to the old episode, from the obvious bits such as the will reading or the cousins' death to the subtler nods like the drainpipe or the washing machine being used as a trap. The ghost's design was extra creepy, especially with the ability to use his chains as a weapon and the ghostly shriek it had! Never having watched Supernatural before, I still felt very at home with the series and characters and really enjoyed Sam, Dean and Castiel, especially Dean's amusing rivalry with Fred. The only thing I found a tiny bit annoying about this episode was Dean's constant pursuit of Daphne, though I was happy they didn't go too overboard with it like they did with her and Starchild in the KISS movie. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how adorable it was that Dean wanted to maintain the gang's purity? I found that little storyline very cute, and honestly I even began agreeing with Dean when the gang had their little freak-out towards the end. I was like, aww, I want them to keep their innocence too lol! I'll admit, before I watched this crossover myself, I was surprised by the several comments I saw from fans wanting a whole series like this crossover. I initially figured that it was probably simply the typical fanboying/fangirling that you see with crossovers, but having seen it now myself, I would totally be interested in seeing a full Scooby series like this someday. I loved the level of darkness and maturity this crossover had, and if their goal was to make me want to see more, they definitely succeeded! I've even considered watching the rest of the Supernatural series now after this crossover. I hope someday that we'll see another crossover as good as this, because quite frankly, this was perfect! I was even genuinely creeped out by a few parts, especially the decapitated Cosgoode Creeps! After hearing my thoughts on this crossover, I'd be interested to hear what all of your thoughts were!

It was perfect. I love supernatural, I love Scooby doo and this crossover was so good or probably the best should I say. I loved the Scooby-shaggy/Castiel pairing. It was hilarious and cute. Dean was also super. I am still laughing with his quote "Dude Fred's traps never work". I admire Jensen Ackles a lot cause he is a Scooby fan himself. Overall this was perfection for me. Two very popular and good mystery shows together in the crossover of the year

I love the Cas/Shag and Scoob team too, they were so cute and funny, "Castiel? It sounds like a great italian pizza place. ", Jared said in one interview that he auditioned to be Shaggy on the Scooby doo live action movies.

Well, happy Easter then! Didn't realize Easter differed from country to country (our Easter in the US was last Sunday), so I guess you learn something new everyday lol.

Took me about two weeks to finish the season, I watched few episodes almost every night after wrapping up my studying. It's true what they say, it's like Scooby for adults - but with real ghosts and creatures of course. The series so far has been pretty similar to the concept of Scoobynatural: a real ghost, or generally a supernatural force, that goes violent - yes, there are murders and blood scenes etc. The first season had an overarcing story of the Winchesters looking for their Dad while solving various cases, most often by checking their Dad's journal for sightings. I can't spoil much, but they're after a specific demon for a specific reason. 4/9/2018 06:36:47 pm
That sounds sooo cool! I will definitely have to watch it when I get time then. And thanks for not spoiling it for me! :) Leave a Reply. |
