There's something about setting the Phantom Stranger in this 70's/80's era that just kinda fits. An era of haziness, freedom, and people questioning themselves, the world, and authority, whereas the Phantom Strange is this mysterious, straight-laced, figure who comes in and dispels the mist clouding over the world and helps people realize the truth. And the Phantom Stranger is, like, totally The Man, right ?
It's nice to see Natalie Lander in a lead role in a DC production. Makes me miss JLA with her as Stargirl .
I never thought of the Phantom Stranger with a British accent, but Peter Serafinowicz totally sold me on it. Having the Stranger with this clear, concise, and intellectual voice really captured the kind of figure he is .
Michael Rosenbaum's first DC role was The Flash but he should never be underestimated for being able to deliver a frightening and compelling villain. Seth was kind of cult leader-esque in his interaction with everyone, and I think Rosenbaum really captured that delicate balance between charisma and creepiness .
This is probably the most action-oriented I have ever seen the Phantom Stranger. I mean, magic blasts? A sword? Although ultimately he isn't the one to stop the Big Bad because that's not the kind of character he is, being more concerned with helping people save themselves .
Marci pulled a Final Girl! Nice twist .
Dee Dee - Daphne (D)
Violet - Velma (V)
Harry - Shaggy (Rhymes)
Ted - Fred (Rhymes)
I think this is the second time Grey Griffin has played characters in a Scooby tribute. She was one of the Newsgirl Legion too .
(I do find it kind of amusing that the one member of the group Seth visibly makes out with is the Velma equivalent ).

Probably makes the most sense to correlate with the Scooby Gang:
Dee Dee - Daphne (D)
Violet - Velma (V)
Harry - Shaggy (Rhymes)
Ted - Fred (Rhymes)
