Be Cool, Scooby-Doo - Greece is the Word
Season 2, Episode 15
Premiered November 23, 2017
Quickly
The gang go to Greece.
Thoughts, Details and Recap
Mystery Inc has gone to Greece many times in the different series to varying results. This is a pretty good one.
The episode opens mid mystery. A death trap leads to a scroll and story time because the best time to tell a long story is while you're about to get crushed to death. Each member of the gang takes on a roll in the story. Daphne's a talkative servant, Velma's a progressive princess, Shaggy is a well fed philosopher, Fred's Fred and Scooby is an oracle in the tradition of the Wizard of Oz. The Grecian version of the gang solves the mystery of the Arachne attacks.
I don't love the conceit of it's just the Scooby gang but in Greece. It works with the series because the characters are cartoonish and exaggerated. It's like a Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's dropped into a different era or location.
They never really follow up on the Harpy but the past them solved their mythtery.
Not a top tier episode but entertaining and a very good Greece episode.
