We've already done individual villain polls for each episode of Where Are You, but this poll question asks you to consider out of the entire series overall, which season collectively  had the best villains? Thank you to Samuel Kirkwood for coming up with this week's poll question! As I've mentioned on here before, I personally don't believe there is a Where Are You season 3 (I consider it part of The Scooby-Doo Show), but I know some people do, so I included it as an option just in case.

Here are the results from last week's poll:
What is your favorite live-action design of the Mystery Machine?
Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed - 37

Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster - 19
Scooby-Doo - 16
Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins - 2

I'd have to say season 3 I think

They all have awesome villains, but I'd go with season 1 slightly over the others.
You could also do this type of poll for the 3 seasons of TSDS and WNSD too!

Absolutely! I have two other polls already written for the next two weeks, but I can absolutely do those two series afterwards. Perhaps Pup would be a good series to do this type of poll with as well.

I picked season 2 because I think it is the goat Scooby season. It also has the overall best villains.
Season 1 also has many great villains.
Season 3 is a mixed bag.

There isn"t a single villain in season 2 that I don't like. I would put them all in the great category except for the witch doctor which would go in the good.
By sheet ghost, are you referring to Asa Shanks?
I thought he was great.

The caveman and witch doctor always felt generic to me, but I know the latter is an unpopular opinion. Zen Tuo's mask is creepy, but otherwise i didn't think he was a particularly spooky villain. Yes, by the "sheet ghost" I meant Asa Shanks. I just thought the costume looked really dumb because you could instantly tell it was a guy in a sheet due to his legs sticking out.

Season 1: Excellent: Phantom of Vazquez, Black Knight, Funland Robot, Puppetmaster, Ghost Clown, Mummy of Ankha, Witch and Zombie, Space Kook, Phantom Shadows, Snow Ghost.
Good: Miner 49er, Captain Cutler, Ape Man, Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein, Redbeard,
Awful: Witch Doctor, Geronimo, Elias Kingston.
If I had to do season 3: Excellent: Tar Monster, Scottish Ghost and Nessie, Old Iron Face, David Bowie, Moon Monster, Ghostly Gondolier , Anthos's dog.
Good: Skeleton Men, Another witch, Jaguaro, Cat Creature, Anthos, The Beast.
Awful: Snow Beast, Oversized Bug, Owl cultists and their pet owl, Some old guy defending a fortress,

Overall season 2 has some of my favourites so that was my vote!
Season 2: Excellent: Creeper, Wax Phantom, Manu Tiki Tia, Witch Doctor, Hyde, the scare pair, Silas Long
Good: Caveman, Headless Spectre,
Awful: Zen Tuo, guy with a bed sheet over his head.

I forgot about Mano Tiki Tia from season 2. He would be in the excellent category. I laughed at the "some old guy defending his fortress" under your awful rankings because it's so true IMO. He didn't even look like a ghost lol.

At least we mostly agree this time, aside from the furry t-rex, the oversized bug and the owl cultists. Oh and Scottish ghost earns top marks just for being so bad and stereotypical its hilarious

WildwindVampire link
1/31/2022 06:56:12 am

Hahaha fair enough. I agree with you that the Ghostly Gondolier was one of the best villains of the third season!

Samuel Kirkwood
1/31/2022 06:02:29 am

I think me and you will just have to agree to disagree on season 3. The Ghostly Gondolier was by far one of the best of season 3 and that's just the start!

My ranking:

3. Season 3: Actually, pretty good for villains, such as Iron Face, Disc Demon, Tar Monster, etc. But hard to hold up to the first two season

2. Season 2: A bit hard for me to choose whether to rank this 3 or 2 because it is such a shorter season. But it does have some of my all time favorite villains like the Creeper, Headless Specter, and Mr Hyde

1. Season 1: It just had to be. Black Knight, Captain Cutler, Miner 49er, Elias Kingston, Charlie, Ghost Clown, Space Kook, Red Beard, at least a few more. Just chalked full of iconic villains

I ultimately ended up picking season 1 too, but it was hard to choose. Season 2 had the disadvantage of being half the length of the others, but I went by percentages to calculate my answer rather than numbers.

Here's my rankings of iconic villains from each show:
1. Season 1: Black Knight, Captain Cutler, Miner 49er, Elias Kingston, Charlie, Puppet Master, Ghost Clown, Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mummy, Witch Zombie, Space Kook, Redbeard, Green Ghosts and Snow Ghost

2. Season 2: Mr. Hyde, Headless Spectre, Creeper, Scare Pair (to an extent), Silas Long and the Wax Phantom

3. I don't consider season 3 part of Where Are You personally, but I'll list the iconic ones anyway: Williwaw, Snow Beast, Milissa Wilcox, Tar Monster, Ghost of Iron Face, Jaguaro, Cat Creature, Mantis Monster, Disc Demon, Moon Monster, and Ghostly Gondolier

Yeah, I consider it the Scooby Doo Show as well, but as an option of the poll, I went ahead and ranked it anyway cause there are only 3 lol. I suppose I’ll do this in whole as well

Season 1

Iconic: Black Knight, Captain Cutler, Miner 49er, Elias Kingston, Charlie, Puppetmaster, Ghost Clown, Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Carlotta, Mummy, Redbeard, Space Kook, Green Ghosts, Snow Ghost (there is a reason why this is the quintessential season of Scooby Doo)
Good, but subpar for this series’s standards: Phantom, Ape Man
Not Good: Witch Doctor, Geronimo

Season 2:
Iconic: Mr Hyde, Creeper, Headless Spectre, Werewolf, Wax Phantom
Good but subpar: Caveman, Scare Pair, Witch Doctor
Not good: Zen Tuo
LOL: Phony sheet Phantom

Season 3
Iconic: Witch of Salem, Tar Monster, Iron Face, Disc Demon, Ghostly Gondolier
Good but subpar if we are counting it as SDWAY: Mantis, Cat Creature, Snow Beast, Beast of Bottomless Lake, Jaguaro, Willawaw, Skeleton Men, Moon Monster, Finyann McDuff, Jaguaro
Not good: Juan Carlos, Anthos, Loch Ness Monster, Owl Men

Seems like our rankings are pretty similar! I like the "lol" category haha.

Becker
1/30/2022 11:57:58 pm

For me:
3) Season 2
2) Season 3
1) Season 1

Like you said, it's hard to pick between 2 and 3, but I went with season 3 above, as it's got more memorable amazing villains my mind goes to when I think of villains. I know part of the reason is due to season 2's shorter length, but I do instantly remember a lot more from 3 on average.

Matt
1/31/2022 12:14:52 pm

It could also be that I definitely grew up more with the first two seasons, so season 2’s stand out more to me personally than 3 on average

WildwindVampire link
1/31/2022 05:44:09 pm

Same here. I believe I started with Where Are You as a kid, then saw The Scooby-Doo Show about a year later.

Jacob Staggs
1/30/2022 01:00:42 pm

Oops, I forgot Jaguaro. He goes in the good section.
The only villain I did not care much for in season 1 was the Ghost of Elias Kingston. I also think that What the Hex Going On is the weakest episode of WAY. It is the only episode that is hard to watch.
I like the Miner 49er but the culprit was way too obvious.

I think What the Hex is Going on is one of the episodes that kinda gives the game away like "Headless Horseman of Halloween" you either believe supernatural things are possible or you know who did it.

Elias Kingston was one of the villains I enjoyed from WAY season 1. His voice was a bit odd, but I do enjoy the episode.

Decoy for a Dognapper or Never Ape an Apeman for me, we might need another poll for that one.

Reply
WildwindVampire link
1/31/2022 07:04:36 am

We certainly can haha. I know some people like the Ape Man, but I think the dislike of the Witch Doctor from "Decoy for a Dognapper" is pretty universal so I'd imagine that would win.

To me, there is no season 3. I'm pretty sure "Season 3" is the scooby doo show. But, season 1 has the best villains. The space kook and the phantom shadows are just so iconic.

Reply
Becker
1/31/2022 04:30:46 am

Obviously there is no season 3. It was always just a misconception. But it's more interesting having more than 2 options in a poll, so that's why it is here

True

I agree with you there isn't any season 3. It doesn't make any sense since it even uses The Scooby-Doo Show intro. I know some people believe it is though, so included it as an option just to make things more interesting.

Looks like we have very similar rankings! The only one I didn't agree with is the ape man, who I didn't find particularly creepy.

Reply
Shadowscooby
2/1/2022 04:36:50 pm

I though is was creepy how he just appeared out side of the place while the gang was talking. Also him coming out of the mirror and scaring Scooby, him pretending to be an animal trophy case, and sneaking behind Shaggy when he was about to make a pool shot.

WildwindVampire link
2/2/2022 08:00:02 am

Those were definitely creepy moments! I guess the villain being an ape just feels a little boring to me, in this episode and all the episodes were ape men have appeared.

Shadowscooby
2/1/2022 06:37:05 am

Season 2
Ghost of Mr. Hyde - Great and Creepy Villain
Ghost of Zen Tuo - Creepy Villain
Scare Pair - Creepy Villains
The Creeper - Great and (well as it’s in his name) creepy villain
Caveman - Good Villain
Headless Specter - Great and Creepy Villain
Sheet Ghost - Just Asa Shanks under a sheet
Hawaiian Witch Doctor - Great Villain I say better than the first Witch Doctor
Mano Tiki Tika - Great Villain
Werewolf Ghost - Great and Creepy Villain
Wax Phantom - Great and Creepy Villain

I say the Scare Pair were better than Zen Tuo. The Witch Doctor I guess was a bit of a plain villain but I still enjoyed him.
