Scooby-Doo Offers Hilarious Jaws-Inspired Twist for Classic Episode A
Scooby-doo's most well-known device is the unmasking of the villain at the end of every episode, but one comic adventure brilliantly plays on the readers' expectations of this moment while honoring a film classic. Since its 1969 premiere, Scooby-Doo has been a beloved Saturday-morning program that has soon attracted a lot of comic book adaptations. Usually inverting the original material, the talking dog and his young detective buddies have been given some of their best adventures in contemporary DC Comics.
Scooby-doo has been recreated, altered, and imagined in many different ways, just as any popular franchise modified for Comics. This has encompassed the gang's post-apocalyptic horror series Scooby Apocalypse as well as their collaboration with Batman. Their most regularly occurring tales, however, carry on through the main Scooby-Doo, Where Are You series, which has appeared biweekly since 2010. The tale "DeHydrated" by Derek Fridolfs and Randy Elliott honored both a classic episode and Steven Spielberg's Jaws in the recent Scooby-Doo, Where Are You #128.
The Scooby Gang comes into an ancient monster.
Scooby and the gang come upon a three-headed Hydra, taken from Greek mythology, while on vacation by a little lake. Daphne is the first to get terrified off after heading to plunge in the lake; the gang follows suit. The attendees of classic Jaws try to ignore the existence of a monster and go about their daily business. Mystery Inc. chooses it's time to act when it returns. The beast rears its heads once more, this time stymied by Fred, Daphne and Velma, who create a vortex with jetskis while Shaggy and Scooby lounge on the water as bait.
Scooby-Doo—Where Are You? #128 ends with the gang attempting—and failing—to unmask the Hydra, only to discover it's a remote-operated animaton. Angry by the visitors in his little village, a local guy created the creature to frighten them off so he may resume a peaceful existence. He loses his control when he shows his hand at last minute when he saves his son from the monster. Although the man did not want to hurt anyone, his carelessness inevitably results in police incarceration for him; the group is free to resume their holiday.
Fans Love Seeing Scooby Tropes Under Challenge
Scooby-Doo fans have delighted in seeing its clichés challenged for years as the brand turned toward spooky horror in the 1990s. Whether it's the scene Fred discovers he's dealing with a genuine zombie in Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island or the malfunctioning cowboy in the Westworld-inspired episode "Go West, Young Scoob," the franchise often avoids its clichés. Paying homage to the mechanical Loch Ness Monster in the classic episode "A Highland Fling With a Magical Thing," the gang in "DeHydrated" recognizes they are confronted with yet another animatronic villain.
Georgia Ball and Dario Brizuela's second chapter in the comic, "Scuba Scoob," keeps the homage to Jaws ongoing. This narrative mostly conforms to the concept of "DeHydrated," with the gang confronting a shark modeled like Jaws. Like in the original narrative, the gang discover their Great White assailant is under the influence of a neighboring man trying to frighten scuba divers away so he may search for sunken riches. Fans of iconic rivals like the Demon Shark, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Snow Beast will find fantastic nostalgia for old Scooby-Doo mysteries and a memorable summer movie.
