Scrappy Doo or Jar Jar Binks, who is the worse character
- Thread starter DragonSJG
- Start date
I really never understood the Scrappy hate. He was a simple character like the rest of the gang and added another predictable step into the already predictable mystery solving structure.
Yeah, Scrappy was great. Loved the show with him in it.
Didnt know Scrappy was hated.
Scrappy is easily forgotten, and is acknowledged as the worst in multiple incarnations of the franchise.
Jar Jar plays a starring role in 3 out of the 9 main movies.

Jar Jar was redeemed a bit in The Clone Wars, and Scrappy was never too egregious imo. Hard to call this one
He absolutely did not star in AotC or RotS, he had cameos at best

Jar Jar is fine. He's a talking rabbit meant to entertain children in a kid's movie.
I think alot of the hate the character got was misplaced, and the trauma that Ahmed Best went through because of it was really shite.
Jar-Jar is fine.

Never understood the issue people had with Scrappy Doo. I loved him as a kid! Probably why I didn't like the movie.
I despise Scrappy, but he's not a racist caricature like Jar Jar is. So the correct answer is Jar Jar.
I honestly had no idea people hated Scrappy Doo until someone explained the ending of the first live-action movie. I never found him any more or less annoying than most cartoon characters. That was such a weird experience as a kid.
It's funny to think because cartoons are so meta right now and kids are conditioned to experience content with such a perspective, that Scooby Doo's ending wouldn't be as novel and bewildering to a young audience.

Look, it was the '90s. Back then we thought kids wanted to bite through wax in order to get to their candy, ketchup would be tastier if it were purple, and Pepsi would be be healthier if was clear. Frenching Jar-Jar for that syrupy, sweet, bombad flavor was par for the course. We just didn't know better!
Kids! learn how to french kiss with Jar Jar!It's Jar Jar by a suckable candy tongue.
"Suck my tongue, kids!" -- Jar Jar Binks
Scrappy is annoying, but Jar Jar is an annoying racist caricature. So Jar Jar wins.....or loses in this case.
Scrappy.
I endure Jar Jar to this day, and I don't love him, but his presence is …fine. When I showed The Phantam Menace to my own kids like 15 years later, they loved him and I kind of came to an understanding that he was not meant for my "serious Star wars fan" fanboy ass, but for new incoming fans like them. (I was early college age when the prequels came out, now a 42 year old father of two)
But Scrappy- as a kid of the 80s who loved Scooby Doo, and would watch whenever it was on, even then I wholly knew that Scrappy sucked. As a matter of fact, I just didn't feel like any of the, then, "newer" episodes that included him were really authentic Scooby Doo, and pretty much couldn't watch them. He was just such a cheap, imposter character to me. Only classic Scooby is do-able for me.
