Not to mention all of these adult animation shows look the same. How do you take iconic characters from Scooby Doo and make them devoid of personality just from looks alone?

You can't just take any random character from a beloved franchise and Venture Bros. it.

It worked for Harley Quinn, but why the fuck would it work for Velma?

Who was asking for this?

There is a middle option between dumb costumes with saccharine sweetness and 'adult' animation with F-bombs to spare.

I don't see any reason you couldn't make Velma work as the star considering she's probably the second-strongest driving force behind solving the mysteries. (Fred only outranking her by virtue of being the leader and directing the team)

But the creators coming out and saying "We left out Scooby because we wanted it to be grown up and serious" is symptomatic of the fact that those creators shouldn't have been anywhere near a Scooby-Doo project.

Yes. She's like, the lead person behind it lmao.

Go figure that taking out the most iconic part of the franchise and promoting someone else to the lead role while keeping other main characters in just cheapens the entire damn thing. Oh wait, no, literally hundreds of CE posts called it.

I would be surprised if even 1000 fans of this show actually read the old comics. Nobody cares about the original material.

Most likely she is now, but before, saying Wednesday was more popular than Gomez, Morticia, Thing or Cousin Itt is absurd.

Really? Shes always been my favorite since I was a kid and the next up would be Fester. Gomez and Morticia are great but seem much less dynamic than Wednesday and Pugsley. Thing and Itt are gimmicks, albeit good ones.

The next time they do Scooby-Doo without scooby-doo, all the characters should act like Scooby-Doo is there, and when they talk to him, the camera pans over to where he should be standing but there's nobody there and nobody says anything. They should just do the whole show like that.

This would not surprise me though. In many of her recent works she has one of those. I actually like it in her other shows, but im leery about how well it will work or even if she tries it with Velma.

From a couple of comments on here about Wednesday, youve made it pretty clear that you're a fan of the old stuff but haven't even watched Wednesday. The show is wildly different than the older incarnations on almost every front except Gomez.
