Comment on Velma can't math.

  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.

        Plus the first two seasons basically had the producers get fired, and a new person brought in.

        That would be bad for any show.

      Foundation was so strange because it felt like the writers split into two isolated groups.

      The team that was trying and failing to “reimagine” the original story, and the team the totally abandoned the original story and was doing their own thing with the clone emperors story.

      Unlike other examples where the show felt like an existing story twisted into the framework of an unrelated franchise, Foundation felt like the clone emperors story came out of the talented writers getting frustrated by the quality of the adaption.

  Scooby-doo is a 90s franchise now?
