First Velma Images Reveal an Adults-Only Scooby-Doo Reimagining turning ‘Velma’ Into Story About South Asian Crime Solver
- Thread starter Magister Xehanort
- Start date
Velma has also already been depicted as different ethnicities before (east asian, and latina in that latest animated movie I believe)
So they are making a Scooby Doo clone without Scooby Doo? Why though…….
Give her Scooby. Even if the other characters aren't there.

we in the multivelmaverse now. weird to take out scoob. at least make him shaggy's dog but he's a regular ass great dane that doesnt speak and stays at home most of the time except for the time he bites off some villain's balls off in "adult" hypergore since that's what theyre going for. how do i get hired for the writer's room?
An "adult" Scooby Doo show where Scooby and the Gang solve murders and deal with more adult problems I'd be more open to checking it out even if it's not really what I want from the IP. A "scooby doo show" that only focuses on one of the 5, regardless of who it is, doesn't sound appealing to me even if it was marketed for kids. The worst era of Scooby Doo IMO is the Scooby/Shaggy/Scrappy era and it has nothing to do with Scrappy, it has to do with the structure of the show and missing half of the core cast. Scrappy gets a lot of underserved hate,that era of Scooby would have been awful regardless of who the 3rd character was.
Velma. Isn't. A. Real. Person. Are. You. Grace. Randolph. Or. Something.
The other characters are there, though. So that makes even less sense.
There's been two since Mystery, Inc, with one currently running. I bet most people upset about this don't even realize they exist.
So that you can have a bloody fight scene where you capitalize on Ultra Instinct Shaggy memes.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive Commentary Around Representation Over Multiple Posts
Do I really need to say it...
And that will forever suck.
I've always hated when they change a character for the sake of "change". It's stupid.
Also, no Scooby Doo but calling it Scooby Doo? That's just disrespectful to the best character out of that gang.
They could've made an entirely new character from South Asia and even made her a love interest to Velma. Now that would've been great in my opinion.
Whoops. Didn't really understand that thing about the four key characters at first. Well damn that is really weird.
Yep.
It's actually called "Velma."
"Why are they making a Scooby-Doo show without Scooby-Doo."
"Clearly the complaints in here are about race!"
I'm more than glad to give this a fair shake. I see no reason to just write it off before we see something in action. Hoping we get that good LGBT representation in between what I assume will be some dark comedy and fun mystery.
You should have seen the Percy Jackson subreddit after Leah Sava Jeffries, a talented young black actress, was cast as Annabeth for the Disney adaptation. It got bad. Bad on twitter too. Bad enough the writer of the books Rick Riordan (who was involved with casting and decided she was the best actress for the role) had to call people out:

Leah Jeffries is Annabeth Chase | Rick Riordan
This post is specifically for those who have a problem with the casting of Leah Jeffries as Annabeth Chase. It’s a shame such posts need to be written, but they do. First, let me be clear I am speaking here only for myself. These thoughts are mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect or...

To be fair, isn't that the only way a cartoon would get an adult rating? Ratings aren't exactly based on how intellectual a show is
Id argue the chopped off head with visible human brains is a noticeable change in the Scooby-Doo world.
This is still entirely possible tho?
Is the show called "Scooby-Doo" or is it called "Velma"
I think you just did
Well shit, my bad on that. Either way, no Scooby Doo in the gang... I just think that's shit.
Does the show have literally every Scooby-Doo character except Scooby-Doo, or is it just Velma?
And I'll stick with that.
Like I said, I hate changing an already established character for the sake of change regardless what media it's from.
My guess is because there will be forms of nudity in this and dog nudity is bad.
What's even the point of this? It's one thing trying to be inclusive and another to not even be what it's trying to be.
I want the bloody dog.
I want the bloody dog.
in the season finale its revealed scooby is the villain behind it all
in season 2 finale its revealed scooby is just a puppet of scrappy
in season 3 finale its revealed muttley is the real mastermind
damn there were a lot of dogs in the Scoobyverse, i remember a vaguely goofy southern accent dog too
It's funny I actually thought there was a chance this wasn't the race thing.... that'll teach me to be less generous in the future
LOL the title got me too"First Velma images reveal an Adults-Only ..."
no dog or van sounds odd but I don't think that'll sink a show
Did you watch Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? and Be Cool, Scooby Doo?
I'd really be down with this if it was a permanent change to Velma's character. Would be great for the shows in the future to not just be an all white friend group. It's 2022, not 1969 anymore. Hell, Star Trek was from 1966, there wasn't even much of an excuse then for the all white main cast.
We literally had a movie where Fred ripped off the head of a zombie thinking it was a mask. Yeah, it wasn't super gory in detail, but Scooby Doo has dealt with dark stuff on occasion. It's just a matter of degree.
In a less PG world, the Scooby Gang absolutely would have run into murder mysteries with some disturbing elements.
It sounds like Velma, Daphne, Fred, and Shaggy are in the show based on the articles.
