Mindy Kaling's c.v.: Father is a well-known architect, mother was a successful doctor Grew up in the rich area of Cambridge, Massachusetts Graduate Darmouth College (Ivy League) with a degree in playwriting (they have degrees in that?) Immediately went to work in show business--never waitressed, never did housekeeping, never did an honest day's work in her life, just went from a rich suburb to a rich kids' school to a rich kids' idea of a job And she can't write characters that are real, funny, and relatable? Who could have seen that coming?
@@Szpareq that's what we said about Rick and Morty Then one of the writers made She Hulk. Then we found out her biggest accomplishment was Pickle Rick and it all made sense
I'll always remember the Scooby Doo/Johnny Bravo crossover: Velma: "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" Johnny: "My glasses! I can't be seen without my glasses!"
Ah the good old days of cartoon network, watching those today now is like throwing on a warm blanket in a snowstorm. It's nice to remember the good old days where Hollywood understood that they were selling a product. Hollywood nowadays just thinks it's entitled to our viewership.
I'm 100% convinced Velma was not originally a show about Scooby-Doo characters. Kaling had an idea for this exact same show but it was all original. She pitched it and everyone realized it was trash, but it has "good metrics". So they just slapped the S-D names and looks to the characters because they knew that would make people at least hate watch it.
That's the secret to not-success in Hollywood: if it fails on its own, slap it into a known franchise and at least get hate views and deflect any criticism with your diversity shields.
I saw leftists accusing Mindy of being right-winger who made this as a parody of lefty anti-comedy. That's right; it's so leftwing, the lefties are calling it rightwing.
Say WHAT??? Oh & that’s gonna be their excuse as to why it’s so terrible, cuz it’s just a “right-wing troll job”. As if that would ever really be allowed.
A quote from Mindy Kaling why they race swapped Velma: "We were really inspired by Into the Spider-Verse - it's animation, we can do anything. The essence of Velma is not necessarily tied to her whiteness. And I identify so much as her character, and I think so many people do, so it's like, yeah, let's make her Indian in this series." The narcissism. I'm voicing her so she's gotta be like meeeeeeeee. There was also some other quote where she says Velma has always been a LGBT icon. No she hasn't. It was just a stupid joke everyone made back in the day based on the fact she was a frumpy nerdy chick, like how people joked about Shaggy being a stoner. She wasn't written/created to actually be gay.
This quote is so frustrating to me! "'We were really INSPIRED by Into the Spider-Verse...'" Yeah, no kidding. They saw a popular character get race-bent and watched Sony's profits skyrocket. InSpIrAtIoN! Meanwhile Miles Morales is popular because he's not just Peter Parker repainted, he was given his own personality, drives, and arc. And the movie was great because the animation wasn't cheap and flat. "It's animation, we can do anything..." So you choose this pseudo-anime mess of flat colors and weak outlines? Good job! Into the Spider-Verse played with cinematography, dimension, and art styles, but go off. Honestly, I'd watch a cartoon called "Mindy Kaling: Paranormal Detective". Actually sounds hilarious and the cynicism would fit right in. Like, if she wanted to make this a self-insert, just own it, she's famous enough! (Sorry for the tl;dr)
Yeah that b*tch straight SUCKS! Not shocked by such a dumb, narcissistic statement from her. But this $hit show of hers ain’t going nowhere. Don’t know anyone who claims to like her.
When you think about it making Velma an actual lesbian is gross stereotyping. It is like say a male character is gay because he wears pink t shirts and has a Freddie Mercury mustache. It also completely ignores every other version of Scooby-Doo where Velma is explicitly straight.
I'm a Nigerian born in the early 90s. I remember when my dad bought satellite TV and the first cartoon I saw on Cartoon network was Scooby Doo. I'd never forget that experience. This show is an insult to our memories
Scooby-Doo's crossover with Johnny Bravo was comedy gold. Velma: "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" Johnny: "My glasses! I can't be seen without my glasses!"
The original scooby doo was already super progressive and family friendly. Fred was the leader but not the smartest, he brought everyone together and was friends with all kinds of people. Daphnie was the pretty girl but she wasnt dumb, she helped and was friends with everyone. Velma was the smart girl, everyone really liked for being herself. She wasnt ugly or mean, I always thought her and Shaggy were a thing. Shaggy was the stoner who most people would dismiss but he was super friendly and smart too and helped everyone. Scooby was his best friend and despite being a big dog was harmless but also coursgeous when he needed to be. The whole show was about different types of people getting along. It was for KIDS to tell them they could do great things working together with everyone. The so called progressive today make everything about themselves and project their bitterness onto kids. By trying to make everything super diverse they just reinforce sterotypes or create new ones and dump on everything they personally dont like. Its amazing how racist and bigoted some of their stuff can be and they have no idea or maybe they do, its way worse than anything from the 1950s. And they wonder why so many kids are in therapy and on drugs, its probably the garbage theyre watch in modern media.
Imagine how racist one has to be to do this to scooby doo, one of the most chill and harmless shows ever lol and someone watches it and thinks nope, too white, gotta fix it 😂
@@user-tm9ho3bm4v Race never had anything to do with scooby. Same thing with the jetsons. They were ptobably all the same color intentionally so as not to create stereotypes. Both the good guys and the bad guys behind the masks were always white if i recall correctly. Pretty sure Velma was actually very pretty too when Daphnie helped her with different clothes in an episode, i think she just wore a frumpy sweater and had glasses, glasses used to indicate intelligence in cartoons. She wasnt obese, just about everyone back then was in better shape than today. But yeah, lets promote unhealthy habbits so a ton of kids have obesity and health issues and never fall in love and start a family. Sexuality doesnt belong in childresns programming. These people have problems and need to look in the mirror and work on their own issues before poisoning young minds.
Here! Here! Extremely well said! I’ve been thinking the same thing since I heard about this show & how God-Awful it sounded. Mainly for all the same $hit you mentioned, these characters were ALL just a bunch of different yet very friendly individuals with big hearts who always meant well. This new crap looks soooooooo LAME!! Especially with the race switch on Velma. Stupid & unnecessary which I suppose the dictionary people will change the definition of the word “progressive” some time in the near future. Good luck to you.
They actually genuinely want to ruin the kids’ childhoods and make them go to therapy or use drugs. That’s the sad truth about modern Hollywood and all, sick bastards indeed
To clarify: - Fred has no control of situations, hasn't hit puberty and is a man-baby 1%(entitled, can do anything for himself and ignores anyone who doesn't keep his goldfish attention span.) - Daphne sells drugs to hire an investigator to find her real parents, but hangs out with the popular girls. (Her drugs are named after show inserts. Also has lesbian cop foster parents. Isn't rich, but hustling) - Norville has a stream where he recommends snacks, is a per episode hobbyist, and drives a station wagon.(which the vehicle looks like the one from that 70's show) Which happens to be stoner favorites. He doesn't have the police family background and acts like Todd from Bojack Horseman with less fun. - Velma jumps to conclusions, hypochondriac and has trauma from a vague family member leaving. Acts like Daria without a soul and it's bad... All because Thanos snapped Scooby out of existence. Also by episode 2 Velma and Daphne catch feelings & make out. Norville shares his feelings and Velma laughed at him ... Good luck ... HBO max subscription charged an extra $1 a month for shows like this...(14.99-15.99)
They should have just created their own show. literally all of those descriptions are 100% not even close to what the 70's show was about. Shaggy never even drove the van.
Mindy is the definition of privilege. She grew up upper class, went to an ivy league college & never had to struggle to get where where she is. She made Velma herself insert but this version of Fred is actually her.
The Woke people don’t even like these Woke shows why does Hollywood makes these?? The Woke lefties are even complaining the new little mermaid doesn’t have enough representation. Why is Hollywood producing these if literally no one likes this stuff.
Yup. I hated her in the office and this is 100% like her character in the office. But once again minorities take a good thing in America and ruin it. No one should be surprised how this show turned out
@@jus_sanguinis That scene took place in the girls locker room, where all the girls (except Velma) had been showering. It was after this scene that I HAD to turn it off.
@@shadow4002 Remember the black lives matter commercial of pepsi? I think it's a better representation of race than most of the media today. And that's sad
This is the same spiteful, soulless, snarky, 'totally meta and modern' adaption we have been given before but this one appears to be especially egregious because Scooby-Doo is a loved series and has never been this mean-spirited.
It's not about money or creating. It's about slandering the existing IP to the extreme. Like vandalizing historical art, but they have permission from the museum. If all art is ug|y, than all art is "equally beautiful."
Yeah, Scooby-Doo is especially sacred to almost every generation. If there was any franchise they should have absolutely avoided putting through the cynical/subversive/"for modern audiences" grinder, its Scooby-Doo.
What was so great about Scooby Doo was how race, sexuality, etc wasn't even a part of the conversation. It was just about a group of friends solving mysteries and crazy adventures. Velma went the complete opposite direction and defined everyone by every superficial trait they could think of.
hell look at all the movies where scooby and the gang went to other countries. there were no stereotypes and the cultures got treated with a good dose of respect. this velma trash would never be able to do that
Is it though? Because the only discussions about race/sexuality I've seen so far have been from comment warriors. Maybe I missed the part of the trailer where Velma was like, "God I love being any race but white."
@@HereTakeAFlower just don't watch it, jesus. you guys seem to think EVERY TV show should cater to you. no one is the target audience of everything, as much as disney might like to believe.
She's an established *female* writer/actress...and a *minority* too. My quick math indicates about a 0.0% chance that her show was going to be rejected. Except by audiences...
You know, back when I was 4, sitting in my one-piece zip-up jammies, nervously watching to make sure Scooby gets away from the monster-of-the-lake as his paws briefly make blurred circles before he gets traction, I can say that I was also VERY interested to know if Velma munched the rug. So this new show should complete the story nicely.
they easily could have made a more adult Scooby-doo with violence, horror or mature mysteries to solve and this was the best thing they could come up with
@@Paulafan5 I would honestly 100% watch and support that movie, I loved the movies growing up and come to appreciate them for the satire/secretly adult movies they are especially the first one but I would 100% love to see a reunion third movie
Considering the writer co-director and lead actress Mindy came from a rich family, went to an Ivy League college then immediately got a job in acting once she graduated? I'm not surprised 🤣 the woman hasn't had a hard day in her life and it SHOWS
@@yetanotherspuart3993 you’re right. They can’t even tell the difference between a man and a woman these days and we’re expecting them to understand some form of logic?🤣
Drinker, ya missed the best part. They're complaining that all the villains are white, saying they need POC representation in that role... especially since if they did do just that, they would then complain that a POC is the villain...
Omg why are there so many white villains *Swaps their race* Omg like it's so racist that you would make a black dude the villain of the show *Swaps them back* Wow so much white privilege *Sends them to a third world country that doesn't have freedom of speech* I find it offensive that *gets shot for being a speaking woman*
The race swapping of Velma is easily one of the dumbest because I'm fairly certain Dinkley isn't a common Indian name. Also, the amount of people claiming Velma is an LGBTXYZ◇♡♤ "icon" and always has been is ridiculous because it was never even hinted at before now.
It's all audiences projecting onto the character. Same thing with Wednesday Addams. It's just happened that a lot girls who grew up to become lesbians projected themselves onto her, and then are upset when the character doesn't conform to their internal narrative
@@fabi3790 Based on the first episode, Kaling's Velma claims to like men and women. But I never cared which sex Velma liked! I admired her as the brain of the gang.
JUST TO BE CLEAR: Kaling has a writing credit on 28 episodes of The Office, but none as the sole writer--and you get a credit if you write even one line of dialogue. 95% of those scripts were written by others and the scant contribution Kaling made was heavily re-written by others.
She mostly wrote for her own character and she was very good at making her character of person. She might have been the ethically worst person on the show until they wrecked Andy, perfect for her scummy boyfriend. Of course, now she finds all of her work on the office of problem so....
Just to be clear: so she made minor contributions to an adaptation of a british show rewritten for US audiences by others...which somehow qualifies her to be showrunner of a major legacy IP?
I'm glad you brought up Daria as a better example of how a smart, sarcastic female character can be written. Having watched the show back on MTV when it aired and on DVD now, I liked that the writers never made Daria the "precious cinnamonroll that never gets called out for her crap" kind of character. Throughout the show, Daria was confronted by her family, her best friend, classmates and other characters for her views and actions, and there were moments that Daria had a change of heart or acknowledged that she didn't have all the answers or was right 100% of the time. So by the end of the show, Daria was not the same character as she was in the beginning. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope in the writing for Velma's character or for this show. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the show writers do.
There was a Scooby Doo episode on the show Supernatural. It was funny, tongue in cheek, and obviously made with a love of the genre. It worked also in part because the Scooby Doo model is repeated in a plethora of shows over the decades, including Supernatural.
This show was obviously not a Scooby Doo show. Its a completely different story that has nothing to do with Scooby Doo, but then the production company hired the writer to make a Scooby Doo show. So she changed the names of some of her characters and presented her teenage fan fic as an actual show.
@@clogs4956 then she should have written a story about her being Velma. Not a story about some black lesbian in a high-school murder mystery, who happens to also have the name "Velma" but doesn't look, act, talk, or think like Velma. For example, if you took an episode of Scooby Doo, any episode, then changed the title to something like Ruby Row, velma to be a black woman called "Mindy", shaggy to a black guy called "Norbert", Daphne to an Asian woman called "Woo", Fred to "Brad" and Scooby to "Ruby". You'd be called out for copyright infringement because it is obviously still Scooby Doo but with different names. However, if you took this show and changed their names, it is so far from the original source material, not a lawyer on Earth could argue it is infringing on Scooby Doo. It doesn't even have the dog in it.
The question of "who is this for" could apply to practically every "adult" cartoon nowadays. The humor is something only a toddler would laugh at but that's also paired with unnecessary amounts of gore that only adults can watch.
The gore isn’t usually that much. I would describe it as toddler humor with extreme sexuality. The only time those types of shows are funny is when you’re a kid, and you’re watching it without your parents knowing.
Yeah... I've never liked Adult Swim or anything of the type for that very reason. Because it just wasn't made for me or anyone who isn't a garbage human being!
This is why certain genres of anime are having a major resurgence. Interesting stories (comparatively), no “message,” normal gender roles. And in many cases, based.
When people say "Oh it's a prequel to Scooby-Doo!" I remember we ALREADY HAD a prequel cartoon back in the late 80s-early 90s called "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo" that shows the gang as children and Scooby as a puppy already friends with Shaggy. Shaggy, Scooby, and Velma were all pretty much the same as kids as they are when they grew up.
Not only that, but we also had the 2013 Mystery Incorporated show. While I personally wasn't too fond of it when I first saw it, it does serve as a better prequel than this Velma show seems to be.
The show could redeem itself if the og Scooby-Doo gang comes in at the end, captures these imposters and then do the classic "now well see who you really are" and rip off their skin masks
I saw clips of this show on Twitter. They make Fred so pathetic, Velma defends him in court by saying he's too fucking stupid to be a murderer. And proceeds to give him a steak and have the court watch as the poor bastard tries and fails to eat it. This is after he saved her life by intercepting a flying paper cutter mid-air and yeeting it away from her.
@@crazychase98 This after Velma has a paper cutter yeeted at her, Fred CATCHES IT MIDAIR LIKE A FUCKING CHAD, and throws it away. Either he threw it super hard or the blade was that absurdly sharp, but it slices off a guy's leg when Fred threw it away. So he saved her life, and still gets dunked on.
@@anthonysaylor8120 When I saw that moment in the trailer I thought "Maybe they'll make him insufferable at first, but when the time comes he'll reveal himself to be a dependable guy". Giving this show any benefit of the doubt was a mistake.
Take a drink every time the characters actively diverge from the original characters for no other point than to not be the original. You will not survive the night.
One of the things that made 'Daria' great was that she was called out on her snarkiness; she wasn't always in the right and other people got to shine too - even Quinn had her moments. Modern shows have the self-insert just being right all the time and everyone else treated like crap.
@@gabbycotto4024 That show is overrated and doesn’t deserve the praise it’s getting. Her character is so inconsistent and yeah she’s being written as another “not like other girls” stereotype.
The day they reboot Daria is the day I end my life. She was one of my favourite cartoon characters, and I got my sarcasm and deadpan reactions from her. I'd hate to see her become self absorbed and toxic
A couple years ago some friends and I were talking about old cartoons and I foolishly said something along the lines of, "Man, I kinda wish Scooby-Do would come back but the characters were older and dealt with a more mature crimes and mysteries. Kinda like a private detective show solving murders and stuff." Little did I know the Monkey's Paw would curl that day.
I’m 28 years old and I grew up seeing almost all the scooby doo shows and movies. Always had a good time and enjoyed it. When I first saw the trailer for Velma, my first thought was why is she so brown? Then it hit me…. THE MESSAGE
I'm just glad Scooby wasn't part of this mess. I shudder to think what they would have done with him. He would have probably been a pitbull that would have done three things: Eat too much, assault people while swearing up a storm, and will lust after human women.
Next season Scooby will actually be a person, but a trans with a furry fetish. He'll go around in a furry outfit, humping everything and having sex with dudes and chicks.
I find it funny (read: pathetic) how they make a cartoon "targeting mature audience" and deliver a naked Daphne... but still hide the strategic parts with soap bubbles because they still feel it somewhere inside how wrong this whole situation is.
I stumbled upon what I would describe as at most, an "R" rated erotic anime on HBOMAX a couple years ago. It had lots of breasts and "pantsu", as you would expect from an erotic Japanese anime, but get this...HBOMAX literally blurred out some of the non-nude scenes if they deemed the camera shot as to close.
There are already X-Rated Scooby Doo’s for mature audiences - They’re much more fun than this sh*t, because they know they’re parodies & don’t take themselves seriously!
How does she keep getting work? She's of the right identity and has the right politics in Hollywood. Simple as that. With ESG and all, Hollywood doesn't care about making popular stuff or making money, only about "the message".
Even if people treat ESG investors like a bottomless pit, none ever is. People/companies take turns in being super rich but as an oldie I've seen them come and go. They invest in one too many things that lose money and they invariably collapse. If the current lot keep propping up the US entertainment industry and no bugger's watching their offerings it will bite in the end. You have to earn money to make money and Hollywood rarely does that atm.
Venture Bros did the basic concept of an adult Scooby-Doo parody: first, infinitely better, and without bastardizing the Scooby-Doo brand. Edit - two more examples: Scooby-Doo! Mystery, Inc. took the Scooby gang and put them in a show that was darker than anything not from the 90s movies, but the difference there was that they stayed true to the characters and were inserting love letters to everything that came before (Scrappy excluded) wherever they could, BECAUSE THEY LOVED SCOOBY-DOO. And Supernatural brought the Scooby gang into a real murder mystery, but all throughout that episode, again, they were never anything but respectful and loving toward the legacy of Scooby-Doo. It was heartwarming how Scooby-Doo was one of the bright lights in Dean's dumpster fire of a childhood, and how he was willing to edit his behavior out of respect.
It is because they have not lived lives to draw inspirations from for new characters. All they have is the shows they watched that they could “make better”
It would actually make sense that this Velma is so deep in her own cool aid narcissism, that every caricature is just her perception of everybody else but everybody else is just a normal person. It mirrors the writers level of out-of-touchness perfectly.
Not without precedence. The original leaves you to imagine whether the dog really talks, (only Shaggy seems to understand him) or the ghosts appear as convincing as you originally see them.
One of the two writers has 4 credits on IMDB as "assistant to Ms. Kaling." She has 3 writing credits for another show Kaling created that takes place at an upper class high school where the majority of the students are some shade of brown or yellow. I live outside a large US city, and the demographics I see on tv and commercials is not what I see when I am out and about.. I never see a group of 4 young friends where one is Black, one Hispanic, one Asian, and maybe a white female, but that seems to be every show now. In reality people tend to hang out with people that look like them! When casting is obviously so contrived, it makes me less interested in seeing it..
How to pitch a show in 2023: “Hey do you know this older series everyone knows and loves?” “Well we are going to recreate it, but we are going to take one of the side characters make them a POC and homosexual.”
My favorite part is that in the act of making Shaggy black, they had to change his entire personality in order to avoid allegations of racism. So now instead of being a comedy relief character, he's just a...uh...guy who participates in the plot, I guess?
These are one of those shows that you think will be bad but somehow it's *worse* than you initially believed. Like, SHOCKINGLY so. You actually ask just *How* is this show so bad?
"The few remaining men will exist as studs, breeding in the cow pasture. Or they could go off to the nearest souiicyde center where they'll be quietly gassed to d'eth."
The fact that it starts with cockroach sex and then velma hits daphne as hard as she can with a crowbar into a wall and it's laughed off as a joke, made me end it within five minutes even robot chicken took itself more serious than this
Seems like the point is to just openly ruin stuff. I don't think there is an actual target audience in mind, they just want to ruin stuff the people they hate hold dear.
Agreed. I think that Mindy Kaling's entire purpose to make the show was just to troll the fans and incite outrage. I guess if that was her goal, then it worked.
It has to be destroyed, not just left behind. Everything that was made before they got there has been created by the "white patriarchy" and, therefore, is fundamental bad. The only reason people enjoyed the older stuff is that they didn't know better and weren't offered the correct choices. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this new media is still brainwashed by the "patriarchy." Once that programming is gone, they'll understand that all of this had to be done to right the historical wrongs.
My girl was watching this, so I saw the opening monologue of the first episote. The show brilliantly shoots itself in both feet during the first 30 seconds, without even showing any characters, heheheh.
5:45 Hilariously enough, I saw a take from a Twitter user (appropriately called Bad Writing Takes) that the show "reads like a right-wing RU-vidr's clumsy interpretation of what a diverse show is". The pure, unadulterated cope coming from the crowd that the show was quite literally tailor made for = pure poetry.
I don't believe that it is a right-wing troll, but it does feel like one to me. It is possible to make both progressive and good media (Archane, Get out, E,E,AAO), but Hollywood is only good at the former.
I think most do ignore them and change has to come if they want to survive. They made us angry but for how long can we remain that way? A few YTers do our 'walk throughs' for us so far less watch shows than hate watched before. (This way is more entertaining). That's got to be biting by now & it takes them a few years to catch up. They've received our message on what they spewed out last year. These shows are the stragglers.
It's time Atlas Shrugged this one off for sure. Stop buying merch, stop watching this crap, get off the phones and giving them ad revenue. Read a book, touch grass, meet family, go to church.
I think a serious problem in television/movies nowadays, is that there is very little subtlety… Everything has to be completely explicit and in your face. I think I would personally have a much easier time not completely hating these things if it wasn’t always so conspicuous. It’s like these “creators”, and I use the term VERY loosely, think of their audience as absolute morons. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah. Thing is shows like this aren't really about entertainment in the first place, they're about the creators validating their sociopolitical beliefs whilst hoping to exploit that predictable process for career success. The creators make those beliefs explicit in their creation because they _want_ them to be the focal point of the public response, not the entertainment itself. Essentially they're communicating to their target audience "this is what I believe in, and if you believe it too then you should support this show." That way even if the show is garbage from an entertainment standpoint, it may still succeed for political reasons. And they often do succeed to a satisfactory degree in the short term as a result. Most of these types of shows will make it to a season 2 or 3 before being cancelled by whatever network or service is hosting them, and by then the original creators have used that momentum to move on to greener pastures. TL;DR: In a nutshell, it's cynically motivated virtue signalling. Well, I guess all virtue signalling is cynically motivated by definition, but this sort of thing is doubly so.
With how everyone else got mangled (especially Fred) it's a miracle that Scooby got left out. With the way this show went they probably would have made him a cat.
they knew that would be a step too far. if they tried to mess with scooby himself who knows what may have happened to them. he is simply to beloved to be allowed in such trash
The writers should watch how the Venture Brothers did a Scooby Doo parody. Episode was written by Tick creator Ben Edlund who was a guest writer. Best version of the Scooby Doo crew lol. It was B plot but way better than anything the Velma writing team will make.
The funniest thing about Mindy Kaling was her brother. This legend was trying to get into med school but didn’t have the grades so he cut his hair and pretended he was black and got admitted. He wrote a book about it too. Mindy tried to distance herself from her brother and say she didn’t know he was doing this but according to him she was one of the first people he told and said she said it was hilarious.
The only way they could have possibly made this show work is if it turned out that "velma" was actually an over-obsessed fan that patterned her look after the real velma and, through delusions, over-laid the other members of the mystery gang on to those closes to her. And this is all either just in her mind brought on by her drug dealer girlfriend and stoner male friend. Or She's psychotic and secretly blackmailing random people to dress up as a ghost for her and her friends to "solve" and unmask as the "villian".
No one ever asked Nicole Jaffe what she thought, she was the OG voice of Velma Dinkley but she is retired! i miss the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons! Hail Drinker!!!
Honestly, shows like Mystery Inc. were pretty good. They fleshed out the characters a bit more and managed to tell an interesting serialized story while sprinkling independent mysteries along the way that kept the spirit of the original.
I remember the dark theories of the past. Winnie the Pooh is for drugs, Fosters home was about Franky being autistic and dreaming the show. This thing look like that but worse. Also Scooby will probably end up be abused by the killer at the end of the show.
What is crazy about writing a show about yourself (not the prettiest, most popular, etc.) with people like yourself as your target audience is that even that audience doesn't want to watch that. Everyone wants to watch inspirational characters that they can look up to and strive to be more like. Wednesday pulls it off because though she is very strange and does not fit in, she IS pretty and bad ass.
So let me get this straight: the nerdy girl is south Asian, the girl that knows karate is Asian, the stoner is black and the leader of the gang is white. Of all the un-leftist things that the woke shat out this has to be the best
@@vladpiranha I can bet you if Scoob was even considered in this, he would be a Dalmation or something, or heck if they wanna make it even more bonkers - make him a human for no reason
