First Velma Images Reveal an Adults-Only Scooby-Doo Reimagining turning ‘Velma’ Into Story About South Asian Crime Solver

This thread has produced a lot of outstanding quotes but this right here my friends
Gore is an easy indicator that it's an adult animation show.
My hypothesis is that Heathcliff is actually an avatar, the physical representation of the five fundamental forces on this plane, and in this series of reports, I will
You really seem to be arguing that if they're going to do a Velma spinoff, she has to be white. It seems that it's okay to you for her to be South Asian if Scooby is present, but not otherwise.
Velma has porn, Shaggy has memes. The dog is third at best in pop culture
Scooby-Doo was their foot in the door. Now the artists want to get back to their lifelong passion of naked people and dead bodies
and draw those things like Scooby Doo too

Yeah I'm done with you, clown. AGAIN putting words in my mouth, I don't give single fuck what color she is, in this show or otherwise. Jesus Christ get a clue
I do think this is not the direction i would personally want an Adult Scooby Doo show to go but i get it.
Not having Scooby is super lame, but I'm down with diversifying the cast. That Velma design looks great.
We can all see exactly what you said.
Call me all the names you want, but you said what you said.
South Asian Velma might be new but there's already been a Cuban/Persian type Velma, your boy StrangeRoboMemory went as Velma one sultry Halloween in 2011.
Look as in art style, you absolute potato. Yeah you're going on ignore, this is just comical at this point. Your brain is mush.
I'm a sucker for adult animation and crude gore. I basically watch it all. I hope it's a fun show, and a gored up "adult" Scooby Doo does make sense in a cynical kind of way which is why Robot Chicken did it like 2 decades ago. I'll gladly watch but what's the hook beyond all that
Because Velma is the main character? It's like asking why the Batman-less Robin series of comics is called Robin?
Mystery Inc. was still a kids show even if it had a dark tone and some more risque elements woven in.
Mystery Incorporated had a more mature tone and it was the best thing that's ever happened to Scooby-Doo. I'm cautiously optimistic about this but need to see a bit more and know who's going to be writing it.
No. I get what the show is. I'm saying that it makes no sense to have mystery inc without scooby. Without the dog you might as well just make new characters.
I ignored the Supernatural crossover because i assumed it was just another lame direct to video animation, and also i try to avoid anything supernatural (I am just not the target audience for it (and CW as a whole tbh) anymore, it fell off for me personally with the whole brother coming back from hell thing and the angels/demons war shit)
Was it "adult" themed?

You mean the Robin comics where Batman regularly appears and which aren't trying to be edgy with hyper violence?
There are lots of Robin comics/stories with no Batman.
Batman/Robin stories took a turn from campy/silly to hyerviolent like since the 70s to move away from the camp 60s series so like ... so what if there's one version of Scooby Doo that trends that way. Why is that such a big deal?
I assume they are going for the same audience as the Harley Quinn show right? As long as Velma loses her glasses and says jinkies a lot im okay with whatever the fuck. The gore? Sure. Some IMPLIED nudity? Yeah. I just hope it doesnt over do the naked stuff. And i hope the writers dont just shit in their hands and throw it and see what sticks.
Because it seems like they just created an entirely different show and slapped the IP on it for some attention.
Yeah, i gotta assume they're going hard on the Harley Quinn Show demo. We'll see if this team has the heart to match. I'm leaning torwards not, but i'm also willing to be pleasantly surprised. Wouldn't be the first time.
You gotta stop responding to trolls. They're just looking for a fight and a reason to report you.
It's actually a series called Velma ... with no Scooby Doo.
Which isn't even the first time something like that has been done.
OP

Or they're just doing what's done in comic books ... like all the time?
There are plenty of reimagining of characters based on one property or different characters who may be side-characters given their own series.
This is their take on the IP, they wanted to do something more grown up and not just "wink wink grown up, still for kids but we'll have some side jokes for mom and dad" thing ... that kinda means the talking dog probably had to go.
It doesn't mean the talking dog had to go at all, it just means a lack of creativity.
Or that's their take, which isn't a big reach.
It's like saying modern Batman movies are creatively bankrupt for not having franchise staples like Robin and the classic tights and short shorts blue and yellow suit ... no it just means some shit works better in goofier comic book settings than it does in something trying for a more realistic approach.
For the approach they want to go in here, having a talking fucking dog in every second scene with a goofy ass voice probably would detract from the style/tone rather than help. Which is fair game for the creator.
Wouldn't the "lazy" take be just redoing the same thing for the 100th time? There are like how many different iterations of the classic Scooby Doo show since 1969? 20 maybe?

Reading this was an actual event.
I don't know.
Someone in there is arguing that wanting to fuck Scooby Doo is unethical because as a dog, he can't give proper consent. The other is apparently saying no, he has actual personhood and as such can consent to being fucked.
I leave this one up to you, ResetEra.
It's called a "spinoff" for a reason.
If the Jeffersons can get on with their lives away from the Bunkers for a decade, then the gang can live without Scooby.
The rest is whatever, but it feels like this is trying to check off all the marks of adult animation in one screenshot. Makes me skeptical.
Depends on whether or not they play it straight, or the camp of old is front and center.

I'd make the case that it's weirder for Scooby Do to fuck a dog than a human
