Dying to undo the moment when all fell apart

I decided to do a pointless trivia on Scooby-Doo! I don't know much about the series so this may be very short. Despite being a popular reference to the series, no villain in the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! series ever said the exact phrase "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids." Most villains referred to the gang as "meddlers", rather than "meddling kids", and they often simply said nothing as they were taken away. The closest the original series comes to the line is in the episode "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts", where the villain says "I'd have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those blasted kids and that dog !" However, the phrase does appear in some of the newer series, as a nod to the fandom. When discussing the show's success, character designer Iwao Takamoto said "And I got away with it thanks to those meddling kids and their dog." The...

How about some pointless trivia about One Piece ? The working title for the series was Romance Dawn , which was used as the title for the first chapter and volume of the manga. Also, originally there was no treasure - Luffy became a pirate simply for the thrill of adventure. In an early draft submitted to Shonen Jump , Luffy's grandfather was the one who gave Luffy the Gomu Gomu no Mi. However, this may have been a deliberate deception by Eiichiro Oda in order to keep Shanks a secret. This draft also featured a female swordswoman named Ann, who looked similar in design to Nami, though she didn't join Luffy's crew. The villain of the draft was a pirate captain named Rokkaku no Spiel, who to this day is the only One Piece character to ever use actual magic (having the ability to ride on a broomstick, set people on fire, summon a hammer and control water). In the first draft, another female Nami-like character named Silk was introduced, who did end up joining Luffy'...

Q&A for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance . Q: What's the best Spirit? A: The best anything will obviously depend somewhat on personal preferences, but the Ryu Dragon seems to be at the top of most people's lists, mainly because it's one of the few spirits that can teach you the awesome spell Mega Flare, as well as being decent in its own right. Plus, if you have the 3DS version (as opposed to the HD remake), you can get one at the beginning of the game if you abuse AR Card Spirits. Boukun Rex is another good one, which also teaches Mega Flare, coincidentally enough. Q: Are there any other Keychains in the game other than the ones you get as part of the story? A: Yes, there are four. Sweet Dream, which is obtained by completing all Flick Rush tournaments; End of Pain, obtained by completing all Special Portals; Overdrive, obtained by completing all Secret Portals; and Ultima Weapon, obtained by defeating Julius. Q: How do I fight Julius? A: After finishing...
