I think I speak for everyone when I say:

Man, they really insist on reinventing Scooby Doo so much. Like I enjoy a new version of SD but they really love to come out with some weird and unnecessary iterations. And an adult themed Scooby Doo spin off? That's just...taking liberties a bit too far. Weirder that they're choosing Velma as opposed to Daphne since she was always "the attractive one" and the most obvious choice.

Thinking about it now, I wonder if the Harley Quinn TV show's success has led to this ludicrous thought process.

I think Velma lends herself more to the "independent woman lead" stereotype, trope, and narrative that a lot of entertainment is leaning into these days.

Also, apparently a lot of people find Velma more attractive?

Velma's seen as the gay one, and several writers, from James Gunn to those behind the Mystery Inc series, intended for her to come out. So that fits current year

I was intrigued enough to watch the Daphne & Velma live-action movie that came out a few years ago, and while I thought it had some charm, I am not interested in a "Scooby Universe" that doesn't feature Scooby-Doo prominently.

If you had a time machine and went back in time to the 80s or before, and you told everyone "Hey, in 30 years we're gonna bring back a bunch of popular kids' characters for the primary intent of making them all gay"... I am reasonably certain that they'd lock you up for a very long time.

Fred's the gayest one out of the bunch, but they won't pull the trigger on him so long as the branding insists he and Daphne are a thing, even if it's patently obvious Daphne has a better chemistry with Shaggy and the last few 80s series established that they were pretty much endgame.

Guys like Shaggy don't get chicks like Daphne, man. C'mon. :lol: Chicks like that buy weed from guys like that, and maybe throw them a drunken pity-f*ck exactly once after they've known each other a while. But they never, ever, actually date or settle down with those guys. What idiot wrote that nonsense?

The writers from the 80s era. The chemistry and build-up was right there over the course of three seasons. Those last few Scrappy era shows were legit some of the best Scooby-Doo I've ever watched, only surpassed two decades later by Mystery Inc.

The 'Shaphne' fanbase has been steadily building for a while, and WB have noticed. There's even nods to this pairing in Mystery Inc and Be Cool Scooby-Doo.

Too bad there's no real hints to it in the finale movie for 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, which was the last show to really push it forward. Shaggy and Daph basically end the original franchise with a full family...they live and travel together, have two dogs, an adopted kid. The whole works. It was legit game over by that point.

I’m surprised they haven’t given Scooby Doo the Riverdale treatment yet. It’s practically made for it. Just crank up Mystery Inc by 100.

I do when she's played by Linda Carellini

Why I’m thinking of Velma doing hardcore pr0n. The “adult” part is so unnecessary considering it’s an origin story so she’s gonna be younger/youngest anyway.

There’s fanmade but yeah

An "Adult Velma" series? Like... porn?

:o

Nevermind, forget I said it....

But........

:D

I guess it'll be a teen Velma with a fresh mouth before she met the crew? Cause how 'adult' can it be if you're gonna make her a kid? Unless it's one of those where she's oblivious to all the sick adult stuff happening around her. Like keep Kid Velma wholesome, but have her walk past some hookers and crack dealers on the way to the library. *shrugs*

I'm surprised they haven't done an Adult Shaggy one where Scooby is a normal dog, he barely knows the gang and lusts for either Velma or Daphne and then when he gets high as a kite, all the Mystery Inc adventures happen in his mind.

Ah. So, it's an idea put forth by people who have no idea how relationship dynamics work in Real Life. Gotcha.

Seriously. Girls Like That don't f*ck Guys Like That. Unless it's for coke. And I can kinda see that. But even then it's not a "long-term relationship" type of thing, it's a "quid pro quo".

Like, I know Britney Spears married Kevin Federline. But again, that was what you call a "Cocaine Situation". And it didn't last. It was never gonna. Because she's Britney Spears and he's a guy who looks like he cuts grass for a living. Once a girl like that sobers up and realizes that she can f*ck anybody she wants, she sure as sh*t ain't f*cking THAT guy anymore, on account'a he's a f*cking bum.

Shaggy probably gets Daphne good weed, or whatever else she's into. And sure, maybe once in a while she throws him a little something on the sly to say "thanks", because chicks are like that. They're perfectly fine with performing sexual favors for anyone who'll get them drugs, that's all part of being a woman. But trust me, she ain't into him.

I know it's just a cartoon. But I prefer that things have SOME tether to reality or I simply can't take it seriously.

Yeah, I was gonna say... very high likelihood this is going to be "Lesbian Velma."

It's literally the only reason to even do the project.

With a mindset like that, why aren't HBO Max calling you?:) That's a good pitch.

Probably because they checked my post history and saw how often I've referred to the entire WB staff as a bunch of crack-smoking chucklef*cks. :lol:

Velma's original classic design in 1969 was awful with that short rounded hair, but modern takes on the character modernized her design a bit where she looks better. Velma being a lesbian is actually fine because she always looked like one.

Julianne Hough eats beaver. What're you trying to say? That a chick can't go down unless she's a mutt? That's harsh.

Unless you're dismissing bisexual chicks and only referring to straight-up "Lesbians". In which case yeah, some of them are pretty rough. You still get a Jodie Foster once in a while, though. "Ellen Page" was a hot lesbian, too.

I think I use stereotypes for dramatic effect a lot better than you do. :trazz:

This conversation reminds me of a time I was working heel and trying to rile up the crowd, which was full of some rough-looking broads. I decided to get some cheap heat, so I got on the mic and said "Y'know, I'm out here lookin' for some Daphne's. I'd even settle for a Velma. But lookin' at you chicks, all I see is Scooby-Doo." :lol:

Kind of an asshole when I wanna be.

OMFG, that's glorious. :tlol:

((Small Bow)) Thank ye.

I specifically got that gig, complete with my own interview segment on every show, because the promoter told me "You're the best guy I know at being a real piece of sh*t, and I mean that in the most loving way possible." :lol: Fun times.

Was he drivin' in the dark?

I'm not sure I get the reference.

I had two web windows open and I posted in the wrong thread:lol:

That's okay. It's easy to get distracted.

For example, ever since I made that comment about Julianne Hough eating beaver, that's ALL my brain can think about. :lol:

I don't even know who that is.

She's a dancer/actress/singer. I think people mostly know her from commercials for skin care products, though.

She was married, but she also occasionally eats beaver. And she waited until after she was married to tell her husband that she's gay. Classy! You may be surprised to find out that shortly after this revelation, she ended up recently getting a divorce. Shocking!

But anyways, yeah she's allegedly an actress but I mostly know her as "The hot blonde chick from the skincare commercials." :lol: They're on, like, all the time.

Bless you for educating me. :tlol:

I please to aim.

I also wanna see her "educate" some other bimbo with a strap-on. That'd be frickin' sweet. :lol:

Thank God all chicks are (at least a little) gay. :trazz:

This made my day. :lol:

I can only imagine this isn't going to work out, much like the recent movie Scoob.

Hough is EXTREMELY pretty. But she's a little lacking in the areas that I look for in a woman.

The HBO Velma series is discussed at the 22 minute mark of this keynote presentation. Velma will be Asian, the rest of the gang appear, but not Scooby

An Asian Velma?

I'm out.

At this point could have make her a male.
Would have been very progressive...and equally retarded.

Velma is Indian
Shaggy is Black and will be called Norville in this series
Fred is still white
Daphne is Asian
