    I think you're thinking of Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated, but there was two other Scooby-Doo shows in between that and Velma (Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! and Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?)

            Scooby Doo never really goes off the air. At this point it's a cultural institution not unlike the Simpsons - but while that show has tried over the years to hide the seams created by changing producers, writers, artists etc, the Scoobyverse embraces those seams, creating spinoff after spinoff and every time one show ends replacing it with another that's usually coming at the material from a completely different direction from the previous version.

            And they're mostly shit.

      I didn't watch more than a few episodes of Be Cool, Scooby Doo! but I liked how they changed Daphne's character into a goofy stoner girl as a contemporary to Shaggy

      Her old characterization as a damsel in distress or rich girl was always the low point of the gang and this version of Daphne reminded me of some actual girls who smoke weed that I've known, plus she was funny

      Mystery Incorporated was of course the GOAT

    What I want to know is why people keep rebooting and modernising something that clearly is supposed to stay in the 70s

    Scooby Doo is eternal and shall be remade and rebooted until the sun itself smolders into ash...

    I have not seen any Scooby Doo or Tom and Jerry since I was a child. These are children’s shows for children.

    Why are useless adults getting mad? Let the children enjoy them.

    They reboot it all the time. I remember one of the ones they did right before the one they did that had the Family Guy art style was pretty good, but it's a pain to figure out which exact reboot that was.

    Anyone remember A Pup Named Scooby-Doo? That shit rocked. The OG was dope as well. 13 Ghosts had Vincent Price but no finale. Scrappy is bad but Flim Flam is next level awful.

    This is the kind of liberalism I hate the most (diversity in shitty content) because it's hard to critique on the merits. At least things like queer POC CIA operatives are fairly straightforward to critique (I hate all CIA operatives and the CIA is bad no matter who's there), but when it comes to art the additional subjectivity makes things harder.

    I still haven't watched and probably won't unless comrades here make a strong case.

    It’s too bad that vomiting tantrums everywhere will make any non-chud criticism of the most recent show almost impossible without being associated with the

    Honestly I've seen way more ostensibly left wing people who have a beef with Mindy Kaling than chuds.

    There was a 3D Scooby movie that had some brand of brown Velma a couple years ago. At least I think... I looked up "Scoob!" and that Velma is voiced by Gina Rodriguez but doesn't look as brown as I remember.

    Now I feel like I'm in a time warp, fuck.

    Well, I sat down and watched the damn thing. I regret even half-defending it to own the cons. :what-the-hell:

    But yeah, Scooby-Doo is just one of those things that's going to get rebooted over and over, kinda like Star Wars or Tom & Jerry: Some will hit and some will miss, such is life. In a perfect world, something like that would be made public domain.
