Um... The 13th Ghost is named Asmodeus (pronounced Az-mow-day-is, as opposed to the traditional Az-mow-dee-us). Asmodeus is another name for the devil. We're literally facing off against Satan in this movie. I can't think of a better demon to be the most dastardly of all.

Anyways, SilverZeo you seem to be forgetting a few things;

- Yes, Scrappy was disrespected in Mystery Incorporated, but it was implied that his partnership with the group ended badly. Maybe he was the animal mascot that was corrupted by the Evil Curse, sparing Scooby. That would also be why all the clues said the dog must die. Maybe Scrappy betrayed the gang and died (his "environment" is a graveyard, after all). Again, sparing Scooby and allowing Mystery Inc. to finally defeat the Evil Entity. If you insert the entire show's lore into the subtext between Fred and Daphne's scene. Also, Flim-Flam and Van Ghoul were not respected at all. Flim-Flam was mentioned as being in jail for life, while Van Ghoul... Ok, Van Ghoul got the best treatment and was basically Vincent Price, only probably a bit more vain and cowardly than the real Vincent would've been.

- Since like... 2014/2015, the support for Scrappy online has been steadily rising.

- In 2012, we got Scrappy on his first ever DVD cover, for the Happy Spook-Day Scooby-Doo! release, and then in 2015, we got the full first season of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo released on DVD.

- In 2016, we got Scooby Apocalypse, which from what I've seen online has largely rekindled interest in the character from "edgier" fans who didn't like him before.

- And then in 2018, he showed up in Scoobynatural, and was not a joke, was not viciously murdered, and was not mistreated. He was just there for a second, but he was there. And he also showed up prominently displayed in the Doo Family Tree in the recent Scooby Encyclopedia, while also getting his own page. (Which oddly mentions his age as being 5 years old in human years?... Weird. Guess he really did have a gland problem.)

The love for Scrappy is building back up, slowly but surely. So just take a breath and relax. Even if he doesn't come back for the 50th, he'll probably show up for the 55th. I've been seeing a LOT of people comment on here, on reddit, on YouTube, on Tumblr and on Twitter that they're disappointed Scrappy hasn't shown up in the promotional clips for Curse of the 13th Ghost, and that they feel the demonization of his character has gone far enough. So he does have a fanbase.
