History Headscratchers / ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland

** Considering they've spent a couple hundred years as freaking undead trying to deliberately scare people away so they don't also become zombies, I'd say they've earned forgiveness. For those who point out the magnitude of the pirates crime, remember they became undead which means they had to die first, [[PayEvilUntoEvil so they were killed for crime]] and therefore have already paid for it.

** The gang could also consider it a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend situation." Yeah, Moonscar and his pirates murdered all the other townsfolk, but you could argue that they paid that debt when Simone and Lena killed ''them'' in retribution. Even if the gang didn't consider them to otherwise be heroes, the point is more that ''they'' aren't the ones trying to drain their life force and turn them into zombies, too. Furthermore, not all of the zombies are the original pirates--there's also some Confederate soldiers, the spice traders, and more recent tourists ensnared just like the gang was who were completely unrelated to the original crime. (Also notice that it's one of the Confederates who appears as a ghost after Simone and Lena are finally defeated to personally thank them, rather than one of the pirates.)

* On the note of the pirate zombies, after being turned why didn't the undead pirates try and get revenge on Lena and Simone? They showed they were rather lacking in morality at the time, outnumbered Lena and Simone around ten-to-one and they have swords and guns. While I understand Lena and Simone are tragic villains, from the undead pirates POV, couldn't they have just swarmed Lena and Simone at the next harvest moon and killed them?

* Here's something I don't think anyone's noticed until me. Why does Lena have a slight Southern accent when she's French & lives in Louisiana? I can maybe understand Tara Strong may have been unable to do a convincing French accent, but considering Ms. Lenoir kept her French accent for hundreds of years, & Jacques has a Creole French accent from being a native of the area, why is Lena's accent different? She's not like Jacques where she was brought on after they found out about the curse. She's shown in flashbacks as having arrived there at the same time as Lenoir. Then again, Tara Strong's Canadian, so wouldn't she know what a French Canadian accent sounds like & be able to imitate that accent at least?

** It's possible that they may have tried in the early years, but were unable to for a number of reasons (an inability to get close enough to the victims before Simone and Lena got to them, no longer being strong enough to kill a person, being outnumbered by the amount of settlers). Furthermore, as the years passed and more victims started to pile up, a lot of the newer zombies aren't likely to be on board with killing innocent people, so Moonscar's pirates would be outnumbered. It's possible that centuries of living as an undead zombie might have softened the pirates, but it might also be a degree of spite: "Your people weren't able to get away from me, and I wasn't able to get away from you, but I'll make sure the next one gets away."

** It's also possible that one of the conditions after a person's been zombified is that they cannot physically do anything to harm any of the werecats. The most we see them do is pile onto Jacque when he has Scooby and Shaggy captured, but they never do anything beyond trip him up for a few seconds.

** It's also possible that one of the conditions after a person's been zombified is that they cannot physically do anything to interfere with any of the werecats. For example, zombie Moonscar could get his sword within an inch of one of them before suddenly finding himself immobile just as it's about to make contact.

** The zombies are slow-moving, and only have basic motor functions. Lena, Simone and Jacques are hardy in human form and even more so when transformed.

* I know this is a bit of an "edgelord" question to ask, but why don't Moonscar's pirates just simply kill the victims Simone and Lena lured to the island to deprive them of their needed life force? They didn't have any qualms with massacring an entire settlement while they were alive. Why would murdering those other victims before Simone and Lena could perform their sacrificial ritual be any different for those undead pirates?

** They probably wanted some of his food. As for the glowing? Either tapetum lucidum, or they're agents of the Cat God.

** There's also the fact that Lena and Simone, despite being initially victims of the pirates, don't seem to have retained that status in the present day. While they may have initially been grieving, miserable women who just lost everyone they cared about when it all started, by the present day they're clearly openly cunning, plotting, and vindictive towards their would-be victims about them becoming their next energy meals. Who went as far as to kill unrelated soldiers, plantation owners, and tourists just to continue their existence. Even drawing in an outsider into working for them by promising him to become conditionally immortal just like they were. Even at the cost of all the people it would take to sustain them. And they appear to hold no remorse for all the people they've killed to sustain this life they have. Only continued anger at a conflict which occurred at least two centuries prior .

* Near the end, why were Simone’s cats surrounding Scooby meowing at him? Also, why were their eyes glowing?

* Why were Simone’s cats watching Scooby and Shaggy eat in the Mystery Machine? Were they hungry and wanted Shaggy and Scooby to share their food?

** Simone and Lena could easily have been part of a cult with cat gods from their home country not associated with or inspired by another religion. Though they do use voodoo dolls, there's nothing to say that their religion was related specifically to voodoo either. They could have had something similar and took to naming them voodoo dolls after the fact, or they adopted the idea from their time living in the bayou and twisted the concept to their advantage and use with their magic.

* how come Jacques doesn't have a partial werecat transformation like Lena and Simone instead he just instantly transforms into his full cat-form.

*** It's a little distressing to see someone defending Moonscar by suggesting he was somehow provoked. Victim blaming, much?
