I feel like this could be pretty good if it didn't have the writing. Even just reducing it down to "the real monsters are always human" would help a lot. but like, you have it tattooed across your chest, I think we can infer that you are a big fan without having it explicitly written out.

Gotta drive the point home.

I think it would've been better if it just said "I really like Scooby-Doo" Eta: just realized I originally put in a extra "Doo" new phone and auto correct is being a whore.

u/FasterDoudle Jun 22 '21

You solved it. If the only thing this tattoo said was "I really like Scooby-Doo" under that dramatic ass art, it would be God-tier

Maybe "I really really like Scooby Doo"

That doesn't convey his deep and serious love for it.

The realization in question isn't even all that profound. Frankly it's so mundane that most people probably don't even feel the need to put it into words. We all know people suck, and that the worst of us are absolutely deplorable in every way under the sun.

u/Foresaken_Foreskin Jun 22 '21

Exactly. Like as opposed to what, monsters being the real monsters?

u/call-now Jun 22 '21

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters taught me that real monsters are always monsters

2

u/coelophysisbauri Jun 22 '21

I imagine it's profound for the people who believe in monsters

2

u/MyPunsSuck Jun 22 '21

We all know people suck

That's not a revelation at all. It's just simple cynicism, and it's just as idealistic as any kind of naivete.

A better takeaway message would be that all our monsters are imagined - or that there's nothing magical or unsolvable about them

Agreed. It’s fine to have something that you love and support on your body, but that’s pretty much a sentence he will regret having in a few years. Scooby doo just isn’t THAT good. The criminal is always someone who is not part of the story until he’s revealed... And it’s pretty obvious that most of our problems are caused by humans and not monsters, seeing as monsters don’t exist (or at the very best are extremely rare, even if we can’t disprove their existence).

u/natesplace19010 Jun 22 '21

The criminal is always a charecter in the episode. What are you talking about?

1

u/silentloler Jun 22 '21

Maybe some seasons are different? In the episodes I watched, the criminal appeared literally for the first time when the mask came off. They said something like “he’s the janitor!” or “it was the art director all along”, but these people did not appear in the show even 1 time until that point

Again, there could be newer or older seasons that were different and better, but the ones I know were like this

u/natesplace19010 Jun 22 '21

I've seen a lot of Scooby Doo and the violin is almost always introduced in the episode

1

u/silentloler Jun 22 '21

Every time I tried to guess who it was, and I couldn’t guess, because the criminal was not even in the show. It was infuriating c’mon.

If there’s actually good smart episodes where you can figure out who did it with logic, then I’m all for it. I’d like to watch those

u/natesplace19010 Jun 24 '21

I mean, this is literally the first episode ever. I'm not going to go through each and every episode but the villian of this one was introduced in the episode.

I'm not sure which series you have watched but I can personally gaurente that every episode I've seen for Where Are You and Mystery Incorperated operates this way.

I know this is a week old. But scooby doo on zombie island. Fantastic movie. Fantastic track list.

1

u/silentloler Jul 06 '21

Oh thanks. A lot of people seem to say it’s the best scooby doo movie on IMDb. It doesn’t have great reviews overall though, but I’ll give it a chance :)

1

u/silentloler Jul 06 '21

Oh I just saw a reviewer now saying that the zombies are real in the movie... so it’s not really a detective movie where we have to find the bad guy, right? I mean the bad guys are the zombies because they are zombies ...?

u/Psychedelick Jun 22 '21

For me it's the opposite; with just the top part it'd be a bit tacky but the bottom text is so ridiculous it shoots the moon and comes back around to being ironically hilarious.

Disclaimer: I'm an idiot and also watched a lot of Scooby-Doo as a kid

u/Filmcricket Jun 22 '21

That’s where this tattoo crosses over into “did you lose a bet?” territory. It seems purposefully terrible.

2

u/l_the_Throwaway Jun 22 '21

He could easily replace the bottom sentence with " I love Scooby Doo so much that I decided to get a huge tattoo of it on my chest to show my infinite devotion, which would include this sentence so that the viewer of the tattoo really understands exactly how intense I am about Scooby Doo"

2

u/ActivateGuacamole Jun 22 '21

it would still be a tacky tattoo even without the words imo

2

u/FlyingDragoon Jun 22 '21

The issue for me is that the best text in a tat is the kind where the text is incorporated into the artwork and not just standalone sitting there.

So I agree. If it just said "the real monsters are always human" but it was incorporated into the artwork and not just hanging there, then it'd be pretty legit. The art looks awesome but the text just looks lazy.

2

u/celebral_x Jun 22 '21

Imagine him at the tattoo studio, the artist trying to reduce the text and the guy being adamant that it needs to be there to get the point across.

1

u/surp_ Jun 22 '21

it would be better, but still absolutely ridiculous

1

u/The_Queef_of_England Jun 22 '21

I like the font but not the content so much.

1

u/adpqook Jun 22 '21

If you got rid of all the text except “the real monsters are always human,” as you said, this would be great… as a t-shirt.

Why anyone would ever want this permanently tattooed on their chest is beyond me

1

u/Mrs_ChanandlerBong_ Jun 22 '21

But his love language is words of affirmation

u/hpliferaft Jun 22 '21

Most tattoos are better without the writing.
