What does "living in a different world" even mean. She'll be texting the Scooby gang from India instead of solving mysteries with them?

I think its the difference between the Michael Bay Transformers movies to the original Transformers cartoons. Same names, same roles, but completely different appearances or loosely based upon the originals.

My issue is they keep changing Velma and leaving the rest of the cast alone.

The source material for any decades old franchise still beloved by fans today is just for the writers to reject and crap on, then make fun of fans for the original franchise.

Not just Scooby-Doo, but anything. I can't name a decades old franchise that stays true to the originals.

They certainly do. Scooby-Doo is still a beloved show by many.

We get that. But Mindy is south Asian and were just assuming that if she gets a role on the show herself her character would also be south Asian regardless of where it takes place.

Mindy IS voicing Velma.

An original and humorous spin that unmasks the complex and colorful past of one of Americas most beloved mystery solvers, executive producer Mindy Kaling will voice the titular character.

So either Mindy is voicing a East Asian Velma or that Tom Ascheim dude misspoke, which is a bit of a "yikes".

And of course someone runs with this type of story ("Ppl are mad!") still not noticing the possible mistake made by Tom Ascheim.

APNSD Fun Fact: When Scooby is fed a Scooby Snack and goes "mmm... MMM!" and turns into a rocket, that's a reference to an old cartoon called 'Precious Pup'
