Comment on Velma can't math.
glimse@lemmy.world 12 hours agoOne 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.

I think Discovery is a little different. They had way too many producers and writers on that show, all trying to get their little ideas in so when they moved onto a new project, they could get a sexy “By the creators of Star Trek” tagline on it. The situation Walter Mosley described when he left STD made the writer’s room sound like a viper pit.
