Directed by Raja Gosnell and written by James Gunn, 2002's live-action Scooby-Doo movie included a twist that shook the foundation of the entire franchise. Praised by many as one of the best Scooby-Doo movies, the project was the beloved characters' first foray into live-action.
Set up by the Luna Ghost turning out to be yet another Scooby-Doo phoney, the Demons being flesh-and-blood beasts catches both the audience and the Mystery Inc. team off-guard. Gunn has since explained that Scooby-Doo's PG rating was never intentional, and suggested that the original cut was a little edgier than what was released. A tweet from the movie's writer states it was initially rated R, despite Gunn, Gosnell, and the producers all aiming for a PG-13 rating. After that, cuts were made and the movie became a more censored version than was planned. So, 2002's Scooby-Doo was almost even more different from the source material.
Abiding by the rules of the source material, it makes perfect sense for Mondavarious to be the bad guy, as he's the first notable character the team interacts with when they arrive at the scene of the crime. However, in the cartoon, it would have been Atkinson's character wreaking havok in a monster costume before being defeated and unmasked.
