Though, I think Scooby Appocaplse Scrappy is a bit of stretch of being like Scrappy, kinda like saying Kmandi from Earth's End is the same Kamandi made by Jack Kirby. And maybe the book ment he was the EQUALIVANT of 5 human years... But I think those a disscussion for another thread....

Overall, I guess it depends how the creative team will take care of him... they would either try to go out of there way, ingore the fan-hate and make Scrappy a proper character one last time... or just follow suit of how he has been treated in general.... Nope, the book explicitly said "5 (in human years)", while making the Doo Quintuplets (Scooby, Ruby, Skippy, Howdy and Yabba) all 7 (in human years). Which makes sense, because merch has been saying Scooby's 7 for decades now. Which is really creepy when you think about it. If Ruby is 7, she had Scrappy when she was 2. If Scrappy is still a puppy at 5, then Ruby at 2 should've been a baby.

Also, Scrappy in Apocalypse is Scrappy, just a different version of Scrappy. Same goes for Hipster Shaggy, Daphne the Vampire Slayer, and Velmastein the Queen of the Apocalypse. (I think Fred's the only one who stays consistent with his cartoon counterpart, specifically Mother Hen/Action Man Fred from What's New Scooby Doo.) Does it matter if he's not "the" Scrappy, as long as that depiction of Scrappy is garnering more fans for the character?
