Film Theory: Scooby Doo is an Alien?! 

What I expect: **scoob is an alien** What I got: A lecture about a multiverse.

The mask: Scooby do is an alien The true identity: The entire Scooby doo time-line

This hits different after "Velma Meets the Original Velma"

Who's here after seeing the Avocado Animations short horror piece?

MatPat: *theorizes how Scooby Doo has multiple timelines Also Matpat: *titles the video "scooby doo is an alien"

Title: Scooby doo is an alien Actual theory: Scooby doo has two time lines.

And here we are, visiting this video again after Avocado Animation uploaded a literal masterpiece (Edit) the reply chain still going strong after a month 💀

Matpat 2020: "How long did that meme last again? A week?" Multiversus today: "That was only a fraction of this meme's true potential."

When you realise Fred & Daphne aren't an official couple, when the actors from the two live action movies actually are in real life.

MatPat: “Different shirt, different universe obviously”. Me: *looks down at my red shirt, spirals into existential crisis*

i absolutely love the mystery incorporated show, especially lore & mystery wise, but i also really miss the old iconic art style 😭 it seems like the art style of every animated show these days just gets simpler & simpler

PART 2 So, quite a few problems with this theory, but I'll be focusing on two entries in particular to illustrate the problem: Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, and Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated. Let's move on to Mystery Incorporated. Lets first address the many monsters at the museum. While it's easy to think they indicate that other iterations of the franchise happened in the same timeline as this, there's a problem with that thanks to one monster in particular: the Luna Ghost from the Live Action Scooby-Doo movie. That movie's introduction specifically involved the gang breaking up over long standing issues after the Luna Ghost's capture, a two year timeskip then occuring leading into the main events of the movie. While this WOULD fit with the reference to not speaking of Scrappy again since that was the movie Scrappy was the villain, the main problem is that the movie established the gang were firmly ADULTS at that point, being "twenty somethings", whereas the gang in Mystery Incorporated are still in High School, meaning the timeline doesn't match up. It's more likely that the ghosts in the museum are just references, monsters the gang unmasked in this universe, but under different circumstances. Something furthered with the debut episode of character Alice May, a mercenary who claims to be the daughter of the Creeper, and even has a flashback to a reanimated version of the Creeper's debut episode showing her as a little girl, but it's later revealed she made the whole thing up, a visual clue being the fact that Alice May is supposed to be THEIR age, yet the flashback would suggest she's much younger than them since they were the same age in it, and she fully expected the gang to realize she made it up, by which point she'd have long achieved her actual goal and escaped. The idea of there being only TWO timelines is also put in question by the final episode. At the end of the final episode in the "Perfect World", the gang receives a disc from the new "Mr. E", revealed to be Harlan Ellison. Yes, THAT Harlan Ellison. He reveals that, like them, he remembers the old timeline with the Nibiru Entity, stating he remembers ALL iterations of himself due to his study into alternate realities. He also makes clear that this is NOT the first time reality has reset, this is just the first one the gang can actually REMEMBER, implying the reason they remember is because of their actions in destroying the Entity. As a result, he reveals he's working as a professor at Miskatonic University, and has enrolled the gang in his class, telling them there's a lot more mystery to uncover and more meddling to do, and he wants to work with them now that he's not the only one who survived a reset. The gang decides to take him up on his offer, leaving Crystal Cove and going on a cross-country trip to Massachusetts. The fact Harlan Ellison states this is NOT the first time the universe reset would suggest that the connection between each series is that they are all different iterations of a time loop. While certain details may remain the same, such as certain monsters like the Creeper or details like Fred's love of traps, others are a lot more variable, like which town the gang grew up in, and whether there are supernatural elements readily apparent. So it's not TWO timelines, it's ONE timeline, trapped in an endless loop. There's some theory fodder for you: try to find out why the timeline is in an endless loop.

Mattpat: "Scooby is actually an Alien!" Anyone who watched The Scooby Doo Alien Invasion movie: "Hmm, Yes."

"I thought I was blind without my glasses, but I was just blind." I don't need glasses but that's gonna be my senior quote.

This hits different after Avocado Animation’s video…

Going into this video I would not have guessed a Supernatural crossover episode was a key part of the intricate Scooby Doo lore but here we are

MatPat should make a Food Theory on the total calories eaten by Shaggy over the course of the series.

The fact that Scooby is an alien isn’t even the weirdest part of this theory

Good thing he did this before Velma came out. Imagine being forced to watch that train wreck.

"No matter... I'll get it right, next time."

"I thought I was blind without my glasses.... But Im just blind."

1% of the video: explaining that scoob is an alien 99% of the video: explaining that scooby doo has an alternate universe and a video game simulation

Matpat Better Stop talking about Scooby Doo before avocado animation Scooby Doo pulls up.

This hits different after seeing avocado animations new video.

" Shaggy's romantic interests fluctuate between Velma and Scooby, his *Dog* " *That's one way to put it*

Title: SCOOBY DOO IS AN ALIEN?! Actual Video: He's an alien. It is directly said in the show. *proceeds to talk about timeline/multiverse mumbo jumbo*

9:54 Ok, I can definitely agree that this was a turning point, this makes sense how the supernatural came to be in this show. Love this crossover. Although, the thing with how the ghost ended up in the show with them is not accurate, but I am happy that he’s keeping it spoiler safe for us.

This dude needs to watch Avocado Animations: Velma meets the original Velma, prove me wrong

“Matpat’s losing his mind!” Me: “Is this secretly Fnaf related?” “...Villain hiding behind a mask.” Me: “It’s gotta be Fnaf.” Great video Matpat!

It started with scooby being an alien, then devolved into timelines and digital universes. This may be the best film theory episode yet. Edit:why did this get so many likes? I mean thank you but just why?

Mat Pat's household just playing episode after episode after episode of never ending Scooby Doo 🤣 your wife must really love you. 😂

Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated is the most top tier show version of scooby doo. Honestly I love it.

Shaggy: “Zoinks!” Scooby-Doo: “Yikes!” Daphne: “Jeepers!” Velma: “Jinkies!” Fred:“Dang I still don’t have a catchphrase!”

Nobody: Really nobody: Absolutely no one: Mat Pat : I WATCHED HALF A CENTURY OF SCOOBY DOO CARTOONS

After watching "Velma meets old velma", I am starting to be creeped out

Have you all seen the “Velma meets the og Velma” animation by Avocado Animation’s? This theory reminds me of that lol

Title: Scooby is an alien! MatPat: explains the entire Scooby timeline Me: you did it again, MatPat, you did it again.

Scooby-doo: *talks* Everyone: that’s ok! Mat Pat: *i don’t think so..*

Yes, finally, the show with 15 seasons that I have watched twice has finally made it to Film Theory. Supernatural.

"please stop running, i do not like chase."

"Shaggy's romantic interests fluctuate between Velma and Scooby" I'M SORRY _WHAT_

Creators: do anything random they think MatPat: *oh that's deep*

No, he's an omnipotent malicious demi-god

“Shaggy meme only lasted like... a week?” Maybe in YOUR circles, but I STILL see shaggy around now and then

This hits different after the avocado animations video

And here we are with Velma meets of velma

Fun Fact The actors for Fred and Daphne in the first movie are STILL MARRIED

MatPat: Scoopy-Doo is an alien Everyone else: Yeah, no surprises there

PART 1 So, quite a few problems with this theory, but I'll be focusing on two entries in particular to illustrate the problem: Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, and Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated. Let's start with Cyberchase. Part of the plot of Cyberchase is that the gang are visiting an old friend of theirs from High School, Eric Staufer, who has won a prize for the creation of a video game based on the gang, titled "Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase". The gang mention telling Eric about a lot of the mysteries they've solved in the past, which gets brought up when the Phantom Virus uses video game copies of several of the monsters the gang has faced in the past to help him on the last level in getting rid of the gang: specifically the Creeper, Jaguaro, Old Iron Face, Gator Ghoul, and the Tar Monster. Four monsters from the third iteration of the series, "The Scooby-Doo Show", and one from the first iteration of the series, "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" This suggests the game itself was based off of actual mysteries Eric was told about and recreated, suggesting the real Shaggy in that movie did at point wear a red shirt. Not helping matters is that the virtual gang, Red Shirt Shaggy included, are all fully aware they are video game characters. It's why they're hanging out at the final Level rather than looking to solve it, they know if they do, they'll just be sent back to Level 1 for the game to start over again. The end even has the virtual gang sending a message to the real game in the physical word thanking them and saying goodbye, meaning they are fully aware they are just video game characters bordering on AI. Something not demonstrated in any of the Red Shirt Shaggy films. So I think we can officially debunk the "Virtual World" theory. As for Scrappy's absence, that's in Part 2.

This aged like wine

Mystery Incorporated is actually really good, especially since it has an overall plot

Mat pat: scooby doo is an alien Me: hey but that's just a theory Mat pat : no 🥺

the velma show releases, matpat "................................"

Too bad that, all those years those decades og keeping scooby doo shows on top gets absolutely DEMOLISHED by thr new "scooby doo show" velma. But atleast we will never forget the good ones

Mystery Incorporated is a vastly underrated show.

Scott Cawthon: FNAF has the most robust timeline. MCU: Marvel has the most robust crossovers. Scooby-Doo, to both: Hold my Scooby snacks. *proceeds to Scooby laugh

Mystery Inc. Is by far the best show, Aside from 13 Ghosts. I grew up watching Scooby-Doo, So What's New Scooby-Doo and the orginal were always what I watched. I'm super glad you did a theory on this and hope you make more 🙂

Why do you keep remembering

title: Scooby Doo is an alien Majority of the content: time lines and time travel

Seriously though, Mystery Incorporated was the best Scooby Doo series yet nobody ever really talks about it or gives it the credit it deserves.

This video was more about Scooby-Doo's timelines and dimensions than it was about Scooby being an alien.

Hey matpat have you watched avocado animation video Velma meets original velma

Me: I wonder how MatPat is doing with quarantine. MatPat: I have watched all of Scooby Doo.

when the Scooby-Doo lore is more complex than the FNAF lore:

Anyone else binge watching since the MatPat retirement announcement

Scooby is a skinwalker, confirmed by Avocado Animations.

But you forgot a fun detail. Sometimes Shaggy is a vegitarian, while other times, he will eat anything. Now that's a reality divider.

Matpat when he sees a fictional dog in a kid’s TV show speak: *impossible*

MatPat, you should do a theory on what repercussions immortality would have on vocal cords. If you watch Hanna Barbera’s Groovie Goolies, Drac and Mummy sound ancient even though they’re technically immortal!

Honestly I LOVE Scrappy, and the fact he was deemed too I dependent. Made me so happy.

SCOOBY DOO HAS BEEN GOING IN FOR 51 YEARS SCOOBY IS AN ALIEN SCOOBY IS AT AREA 51 CONFIRMED

Mat: actually takes place during a crossover Me : SUPERNATURAL Mat: a supernatural crossover episode Me : YEAHHHH

You should react to avocado animation Velma meets original velma

“It’s getting worse”

Matpat: besides his red shirt can you tell what else is different Me: yeah obviously his skin Matpat: yep, his eyes

Why can Scooby Doo talk? Velma's last words...

I’ll get it right, *NEXT TIME…*

Fact:Scooby do can talk. Everyone: ok cool Matpat: hE’s aN aLiAn

“Ruh-Ruh Matpat’s losing his mind again” Buddy FNAF taken that title literal generations ago

I like how we knew exactly who the man who save them was by just the green headband on his arm

Rewatching this gives a whole new meaning to the AvadacoAnimations video-

“WAIT, THAT’S ANOTHER MASK” *Rips face off* “Oh wait no, that was his real face..”

*after the virus ends* "So mat what did you watch?" *Mat twitching* "all of them.."

3:41 it did burn this theory to the ground.

I can't wait for him to see it

“What’s a scrappy?” Is what we all wish we could say.

That moment you learn Scooby Doo lore is less complicated and still as deep as the FNAF universe

10:36 still my fave collab of all time

How can scooby talk?

Fans: *literally ask for an explanation about anything* MattPatt: _To answer that, we need to look into Parallel Universes_

After watching that animation by Avocado animations I realized Scooby-Doo isn’t an alien……. HES A FUCKING GOD!!!!!

**he's a god**

I just wished the series "be cool scooby doo" didn't have the same cartoon style like family guy. If they kept the mystery incorporated style and have a over arching story then it would be good.

Noboby: Me: “sees title” WHAT THE FU-

Yeah scooby kill3d the gang a lot of times and rebuilt the world everytime he kill3d them

I have to say. Mystery incorporated is probably the best Scooby doo show.

"The editor was then promptly sacked." That was a good, though obscure, Monty Python reference.

"The teams behind these shows appear to be taking a lot of care with the long history of these series" *Velma existing*: I'm about to end this man's whole career

Well, did you know that Scooby Doo ate the humans and keep remaking them again and again when everyone was being serious about the dog talking

I remember the Scooby Doo show from 90s when I was a kid and Scooby had a lot of cousins who had very over the top stereotypical mannerisms of the area they lived.
