tnt's talk page

Our airdates are correct, the show is airing Thursdays @9:00 PM

If you check the dates I listed are Thursdays with the exception of 09/11/21.  The date listed for episode 9 is 09/09/21 but there was no episode on my network on that date.  Instead, it aired on 09/11/21.

It aired on Sep 9th

OK Thanks for checking.  It didn't are until last night 09/11/21 on my network.

Looks ok to me. You can ask @TomSouthwell though, to get a second opinion, he worked a lot more with animated shows.

Looks good to me. 

Quick question though @MAT13 is that how the main characters are named in the credits? I dont watch the Scooby shows now, but Im not sure they would be credited with their full namss even if we know these are their names away from the series. 

No, in many of such shows all the actors are credited, but none of the character names are listed anywhere. Not even for main cast. And they are all credited in the end credits.

So there is a single page where you have "Cast" and listed all actors. There is no way to know which actor played who unless you go dig through other dedicated sites that have it.

For side characters and their actors I used this as a source as it mentions all characters that appear - https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/What_the_Hex_Going_On%3F

Note that when all actors are just listed by names (similar to Castlevania series) we often just add "Additional Voices" instead of a character name when you can't tell which actor is doing voice for which character. But when you can tell, then they can be credited.

As for the side characters' names, they can be heard or seen when you watch the episode as they refer to each other by name. For those that aren't mentioned by name, one can get more generic name by what they represent (i.e. Sheriff, Waitress, Hotel Manager, etc.).

One other thing, sometimes in Scooby-Doo episodes, there are two different actors playing the same character. Is there a way to add two characters for a single character in a single episode? For example one character may be the voice of a human character, and another actor voice of a ghost or monster which is human character in disguise.

The only way to credit them both is two have each credited under their own personas even though they're for the same character. Would that be the right way to do or is there an alternative way to handle this better?

If the reveal is that the ghost was a human all along then they should both be linked to the ghost character and the human name added as an aka I think but @tnt may be able to answer this better? 

Im not sure we should have the characters full names added if they are never called that in the show either. I think Scooby Doo should only ever be called Scooby Doo and if he's called Scoobert in an odd episode then we would add that as an aka. 

I noticed many character names here have this syntax: NAME "NICKNAME" SURNAME. I thought that is sort of the norm on this site. I didn't add SD's main cast that way, though I may have followed that syntax on occasion instead of adding abbreviated name/nickname under AKA.

Maybe, I'm not sure I remember.

We will check the relations and add them if it makes sense.
Considering Netflix - yes, they are doing two animated He-Man shows. Revelation is being developed by Kevin Smith, and it's a sequel to the classic series. The other one is being developed by Rob David, and it's a reboot. 

Hey @MAT13 besides having the same featured characters for what reason would these shows need to be linked? A show isn't franchised just because they feature the same characters. 

@TomSouthwell How can two anime with same title and same setting and same characters not be part of the same franchise? They can either be a prequel/sequel (directly story-connected), reboot (which can be entire new story and way of telling the same or completely different story) or remake. Either of which makes them part of the same franchise. At the very least they're part of the same group, but do we have grouping system of some kind here?

I can see that story-wise there's a big difference with them and some can be like reimagined way of telling a new story with same two main characters, but still, it seems to be part of "He-Man" or "Masters of the Universe" series to some degree.

I would look at the airdates etc as a starting point. Spider-man for example has animations dating back to the 1980s, different production companies made each series with Marvel only making connected series with overlapping characters etc in the early eighties, then the nineties and then again in the noughties, these are clearly linked with overlapping cast, crew and story elements. I'm not sure how a He-Man series from the 80s would share any of those elements with a show made 30 years later. Unless Netflix is specifically saying the shows are interconnected or that the show is a reboot of the original 80s show. I would say none of these shows would need to be connected unless they hit the criteria that the network is saying they need to be, that cast/crew and or production is exactly the same. Its not like we would link every series of Scooby Doo together because an IP like that will continue to be rebooted over and over and over again. The list of relations would be never ending. 

Well, I am not sure about all but Netflix's "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" is supposed to be direct sequel to the original series from 1980s. If that proves true at least those two should have connection.

She-Ra from 1980s is a spin-off but there are movie specials that feature both He-Man and She-Ra, since she's his (twin) sister. Sort of how we have Xena and Hercules shows related because their stories too crossover in some episodes. But if He-Man / She-Ra specials wouldn't count, then they would not appear connected since their stories take place on different planets if I'm not mistaken. I would still think they share franchise.

@MAT13 franchise relationship has some requirements, does they met for these shows? Sharing cast and crew is one of them.
Franchise
A show that's closely related to an existing show; because they share a similar name and premise, (main) crew or cast members portraying the same character, cinematic universe, and/or a continuous storyline. This relation only applies when the similarities are present for the majority of the show's run; an occasional "crossover episode" between two shows that otherwise share no similarities does not warrant creating a show relation.

Just add them to the last season for a time being. Thanks :)

Okay, added all 30 movies (26 with Raymond and 4 more that were part of the series but released after his death).

There are some characters that appear as main cast across most of those movies, but seeing how these are all specials, do we treat all actors there as "guest cast" or can some new main cast be added under "main cast" even if they are main for what is now part of the specials only?

Thanks!

PS: Also found out there an Ironside TV movie which was also released after series so will add that one as special as well, under Ironside TV series, of course (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107951/).
