From what I saw, the previous reboot was fine, even if it made the supernatural more directly "real" consistently which is a significant thematic change from the older shows.
It's too bad that :frothingfash: vomiting :us-foreign-policy: tantrums everywhere will make any non-chud criticism of the most recent show almost impossible without being associated with the :frothingfash: , but maybe that is the point.
From what I read about it, it seems to be a le drugs (as in, no more Shaggy "snacks" subtleties) and le sex pestery edgy reboot that it seems no one asked for and no one wanted, but because it pressed the right chud provocations button it has protection from criticism.
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.
Did it stay just as bad as it started, or get worse?
There's a sort of "woke edgy" that liberals tend to produce, write, and direct, and it seems intentionally designed to piss as many people off as possible as a publicity gimmick. Star Trek Picard comes to mind. It's got plenty :us-foreign-policy: to piss off chuds but it's also a pointlessly grimdark and arbitrarily cruel misery parade with false sentimentality and hypocritical moralizing that the show itself can't even maintain or adhere to.
