Scooby Doo! and the WWE Curse of the Speed Demon: My Unpopular Opinion
Okay, confession time. I have a soft spot for Scooby Doo. I also love a good wrestling match.
So, naturally, I watched Scooby Doo! and the WWE Curse of the Speed Demon. It felt like a fever dream filled with muscle men and monsters. Is it good? Well...
The Plot Thickens (Maybe?)
The gang goes to a WWE off-road race. It's held in a spooky desert town. Of course, there's a ghost. A very fast ghost.
This Speed Demon is causing chaos. He's trying to ruin the race. Scooby and Shaggy are, predictably, terrified. The wrestlers, surprisingly, are also scared.
Honestly, the plot is... thin. But who watches Scooby Doo for plot? We watch for the sandwiches! And the monster chases!
The Wrestlers: From Ring to Racetrack
The movie features some big WWE names. We're talking Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and The Miz. They're all... fine.
Seeing wrestlers outside the ring is weird. Especially when they're acting scared. They're supposed to be tough! Shouldn't they just slam the ghost?
Maybe that's just me. I just wanted a Stone Cold Stunner on a spectral speedster. Is that too much to ask?
The Animation: Shaggy's Still Scared
The animation is standard Scooby Doo fare. Bright colors! Exaggerated expressions! Shaggy looking perpetually terrified.
Scooby and Shaggy's antics are always amusing. Even if they're a bit repetitive. Falling into traps is their specialty.
The Speed Demon looks pretty cool though. He's got a fiery design. And he moves really fast. You know, as demons do.
My Unpopular Opinion: It's... Fine
Here it is. My controversial take. Scooby Doo! and the WWE Curse of the Speed Demon is... perfectly average.
It's not the best Scooby Doo movie. It's not the worst. It's just... there. A fleeting moment of monster truck mayhem and wrestling cameos.
The humor is predictable. The mystery is solved easily. The animation is decent. It's all very... safe.
The Curse of Predictability
That's my biggest problem. It's too predictable. You know Scooby and Shaggy will be scared. You know the monster will be unmasked.
You know the wrestlers will eventually help. There are no surprises. Just a comforting sense of familiarity.
Maybe that's the point. Maybe we watch Scooby Doo for the comfort. The knowing that everything will be okay in the end.
Should You Watch It?
If you love Scooby Doo, sure. If you love WWE, maybe. If you love both? Then you've probably already seen it.
Just don't expect a masterpiece. Expect a fun, silly adventure. Expect a lot of Scooby Snacks.
And maybe, just maybe, a little bit of wrestling action. Even if it's mostly just people running away from a ghost.
Final Verdict: Ruh-roh, it's average.
Scooby Doo! and the WWE Curse of the Speed Demon isn't a bad movie. It's just not a great one.
It's perfectly adequate, and probably enjoyable for kids who love both franchises.
So, grab some popcorn. Gather your friends. And prepare for a mildly entertaining mystery. Just don't expect to be blown away.
