Comment on Velma can't math.

  One of the worst parts of it is that Scooby Doo has had tons of successful series and they’ve all been pretty good. Yet they somehow managed to fuck this up despite it being an incredibly simple formula for a show.

    It was never about Scooby Doo. IIRC, this was supposed to be an original show, but latching it to a successful 99s franchise must have looked like a sure money maker.

      Regardless of what the official story is, that’s probably what really happened. Same thing with the Halo tv show.

        I don’t know. Seeing how modern shows like Foundation, The Witcher, or Star Trek Discovery, to name a few, have gratuitously walked over their own canon, I can understand how the producers thought Velma was a good idea for a new Scooby Doo show.

      Scooby-doo is a 90s franchise now?

  The second season’s arc is about uncovering what SCOOBY was within the show, and there were lots of goofy references to how silly the old cartoons were, and how silly cartoons are in general

  i enjoyed the Velma tv show immensely
