obviously fred varies in personality and interests based on the era and incarnation but idk why people say he’s a jock when he’s a perfect candidate for theater tech. his main skillset is building and staging elaborate multi part traps. in some of the movies he’s also daphne’s cameraman which means he also has the different but related skillset of av kid. he’s probably a film nerd who loves classic horror movies for the practical effects, he probably makes everyone sit down to watch the thing and refuses to shut up about puppetry the entire time. he probably started mystery inc to make found footage horror movies and accidentally stumbled on a guy in a ghost costume on the way
In fact, the best candidate for team Jock is almost certainly Shaggy.
While other members of the gang have shown an interest in sports at various points, particularly Fred and Daphne, Shaggy is specifically labelled the best gymnast in the school in episode 1 of series 1, What A Night For A Knight. It’s one of the earliest things we learn about his character.
In Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, he gets hired as a gym teacher at a school for the children of famous monsters, and is actually really good at it. Despite being actively terrified of all his students and his surroundings, he still manages to get the kids engaged in sport and even helps them beat a neighbouring school in a volleyball match.
In Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf, we learn that he’s also a gifted race car driver.
In Scooby Doo and the Phantosaur, it turns out that he also has the ability to hold his own in a fight against multiple opponents, and to jump pretty long distances (even if he needs a confidence boost in order to access those his abilities).
And that’s not even getting into the sheer amount of physical activity involved in just being a member of the Mystery Gang, specifically in being the guy who always gets stuck on live-bait duty and is at the centre of every chase scene.
Plus, he has a great dane for a pet. So even when he isn’t out with the gang, he’s presumably getting a fair bit of exercise walking Scooby.
Honestly it’s no wonder he’s got such a huge appetite. He must he burning through calories like nobody’s business.
A Great Dane that Shaggy not just walks, but constantly picks up and sprints with. Scooby probably weighs as much as Shaggy does, and Shaggy still outruns the others while essentially carrying a person.
He doesn’t even pick him up most of the time— Scooby leaps into his arms!
Shaggy, at any moment, can expect to have a person-sized weight basically launched at him, and not only is he able to catch him in mid-air every time, withoutstaggering, but he’s able to launch into a full sprint straight afterwards with no visible difficulty.
Oh, and, when one of them isn’t carrying the other? Scooby and Shaggy typically keep pace. Certainly you never see the huge gap that you’d expect to open up between a human and a dog who are both running at panic speeds.
A great dane can run up to thirty miles an hour. For comparison, Usain Bolt’s top speed is just under twenty-eight miles per hour. And unlike Usain Bolt, Shaggy is able to consistently maintain roughly that speed over long periods of time during chase scenes.
How Scooby-doo Mystery Incorporated Re-invents Scooby-doo (HD Remaster)
A complete remake of my old Scooby-doo: Mystery Incorporated video from 2015, with re-recorded HD audio and all-new voiceover lines, about how Mystery Incorporated stands apart from every other Scooby-doo series thanks to its impressive display of art direction, camera composition, and actual character development for icons that were invented in the 1960s.
This is not your average Scooby-Doo show. This is Mystery Incorporated.
And Fred I know canonically has blue eyes… but in the live action Freddy prince jr. Has brown and I like the look. So my Fred has brown eyes.
I worked their original looks a little bit to fit the 60s a tad more. Like the wider sleeves and the high waisted pants for Fred. And the added collar in daphnes dress. Im a fan and I’ll definitely be drawing these two again.
