There are times when you wish you could re-live a past moment, that you just want to experience it again for old-times sake. Unfortunately, all we can do is re-visit it, & often find that although nostalgic, we just don't get the same thrill.

negative · AI labelView post →Scooby-Doo Return to Zombie Island is the worst Scooby-Doo cartoon
negative · AI labelView post →Gonna say this with my whole chest: Scooby-Doo Return to Zombie Island is the worst movie I've ever seen. A blatant cash-in that actively hates the original movie, the characters, the franchise and its fans as a whole. The perfect embodiment of where the series has been the last decade plus

positive · AI labelView post →Just my opinion, but skip Scooby-Doo Return to Zombie Island. It ruins all the fun of the original
negative · AI labelView post →Because after this episode is recorded and done, the next one is going to be about the shitshow that is Scooby Doo: Return to Zombie Island
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Scooby Doo - Return to Zombie Island. It's both so confusing and fascinating how this Scooby Gang is from an entirely different continuity, and yet they're doing a bunch of very silly retcons to act like it originally happened in their universe. It has some weirdly racist jokes, though.
neutral · AI labelView post →Scooby-Doo! Return to Zombie Island (2019) The entirety of Mystery Inc. is annoying in this one, it brings up the original Zombie Island constantly, barely has any real idea on what it wants to do, for some reason Elvira's in this one, I just wanna go home man.

This one felt like a weak attempt to cash in on the original 'Zombie Island' Scooby movie, which is arguably the best SD film ever made! Lame. #Watchoween
