Hi! Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!
I’d like to welcome Ethan as the fan spotlight for today! Ethan is an active member of the ScoobyAddicts forum, and is also in the beginning stages of working on his very own Scooby-Doo website! Check out Ethan’s profile below: 1. What is your name? Ethan! 2. How did you get into Scooby-Doo? When I was in kindergarten, my great aunt was in the hospital for long periods of time and decided to record a tape of cartoons that aired on TBS' "Disaster Area" for my family. A major part of their line-up was Scooby Doo- my sister and I were thrilled! 3. What is your favorite Scooby-Doo episode and film? Why? The Creeper episode is one of my favorites. Not only does it have a fun song, the intro is a little darker than usual Scooby. 'Boo Brothers' is creative genius mixed with just plain fun. There are more pop culture references than I ever knew as a kid, from the title referencing a 1980 film about two brothers trying to save an orphanage, to obscure details such as the sheriff shooting above him, only to have something fall on top of him, a fun trope used just the year previous in John Carpenter's 'Big Trouble in Little China'. There's a lot going on in 'Boo Brothers', and somehow it all comes together in a really fun presentation. Just recently there was an article in Reader's Digest about how a real treasure has been hidden near New Mexico by an old man, valued at over a million dollars and maybe someday I'll find the chance to decipher the riddle and hunt for treasure as well. 4. What ways are you involved in the Scooby fandom online? Having recently moved out to a very rural area with no internet, I haven't been very active recently. In the past though, I've been active on Scooby Facebook Groups, ScoobyAddicts, Scoobypedia, and occasionally Discord. I made a modded version of the card game 'Love Letter' with all Scooby characters and wrote the synopsis for 'Ghoul School' on Scoobypedia. I'm also working on a website called LostScooby.tk, which focuses on collecting links to old Scooby stuff. 5. In your opinion, what is the best series or era of Scooby? '70s Scooby will always be the original, but I must say I love just about everything from the late '80s. The films, the way Scrappy matured, the reflection of the '80s themselves, etc. I love it. 6. If they could make a sequel to one Scooby-Doo series or film, what would it be? Honestly, I don't want any more sequels unless they do a part two of 'Reluctant Werewolf' and bring back Googie and Scrappy for the film. That would be neat. 7. What direction would you like to see the franchise go in the future? I'd like to see new takes which are specifically not canon. 8. Who is your favorite member of the gang and why? Scrappy gets a bad rep but I like seeing how he goes from annoying to helpful over time. 9. What is your favorite villain? Why? 10k Volt Ghost. He just looks and sounds badass. Definitely one of the more creative ones. 10. In your opinion, who is the best recurring (non-gang) character in the franchise? Del is a neat guy and fit so well he came back for a second film. 11. Do you have a Scooby-Doo collection? If so, what’s in it? Oh gosh, I have a lot of Scooby stuff. Funkos, lunch box, huge DVD binder, Mashems, a stuffed Scooby, card games, gumballs, and more! 12. What do you think has made the franchise so popular that it’s still going strong after 50 years? I love that Scooby is a little more intelligent than your average cartoon. It's not as philosophical as say, Disney's Recess, but even Carl Sagan praised Scooby for its way of promoting critical thinking. 13. What is one fun fact about you in real life? I collect miniature figures and dice. Definitely have some Scooby ones of both! 14. Please feel free to share anything else you’d like to here! It's a pleasure to have done this interview. Thanks! Thanks so much to Ethan for participating in my fan spotlight project! Feel free to leave him a comment below.
