WB seriously needs to grow up and stop pretending that Scrappy Doo doesn't exist. It is not doing them any favours. If anything, they are only alienating the older fan-base. Yes, Scrappy Doo was not popular, BUT (and this is a big but) Scrappy Doo has done more for the gang than they care to admit. He's even helped solve more mysteries than Scooby Doo's cousin Scooby Dum, and that's saying something. If anything, if that had been me writing that movie, I would have done it so that Scrappy Doo had chosen to leave Mystery Inc. (albeit on bad terms) to spend more time with Yabba Doo and Deputy Dusty. And unless WB accepts Scrappy Doo, there will be no turning back for them in terms of Scooby Doo. I will, however, give them credit for redeeming Flim Flam. If they can redeem Scrappy Doo's character, instead of being complete arseholes over him, they may get more respect from the older fanbase of Scooby Doo. I would bring back Scrappy Doo back (as a guest character), have him reconsile with the gang (though have him want revenge on the gang first), and have him leave the gang again, but this time on GOOD terms. That will make room for him to make future guest appearances. I totally agree, but unfortunately, WB's won't change that because they won't change. That's why they turn down those who want them too. I've given up hope for WB's.
