Scooby-Doo and the Gang! by Rwalkers

[moonsiechild]

Okay, you can’t use Fred as the one to represent “awful, misogynistic, privileged white men” when that man was always a golden retriever of a human being.

In Mystery Incorporated, he cried because of how emotional he himself always is, he got instant PTSD in an episode where Daphne got kidnapped and for majority of the series, Daphne was just BEGGING for him to fuck her but he was oblivious and respected their friendship.

Shut up, Fred is a good boy.

Velma

[meiloorun-notthefruit]

The Scooby gang are friends. The Scooby gang are BEST FRIENDS. THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. THEY TRAVEL AROUND SOLVING MYSTERIES FOR AS LONG AS THEY CAN BECAUSE THEY HAVE A PASSION FOR IT AND BECAUSE IT MEANS THEY GET TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER WITH EACH OTHER. THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS.

They don’t hate each other. Maybe they get annoyed and cause they’re together all the time it might get a bit much sometimes but at the end of the day, they really deeply care about each other. They live out of a van most of the time and are on the road constantly out of CHOICE. TOGETHER. for crying out loud.

They are four teenagers and a Great Dane. They’re a family.

i know everyone’s already giving their hot takes about the velma show lmfao but what makes me genuinely sad is how badly they treat the characters. like i watched a clip on twitter where velma disparages fred in court (after having falsely accused him of murder!) and she calls him a small-dicked privileged manchild who can’t even feed himself and like?

i don’t think mindy understands that all the characters in scooby doo are beloved. people don’t want to see daphne be a vapid “bitch” (which velma literally calls her that) or fred be misogynistic. we don’t want to see shaggy be some loser.

so like, who is this show for exactly? it’s obviously not for scooby fans because it’s too cynical about both the characters and the fanbase. it’s not for kids because it’s an adult show. it’s too stupid to appeal to adults. it’s a weird self-insert fantasy with scooby doo slapped onto it. mindy’s just playing the same loser character she always plays/writes to project on. daphne’s too bitchy, shaggy doesn’t have a single character trait similar to the og shaggy, fred’s too much of an asshole, velma’s judgemental and rude. like. WHO IS THIS FORRRRR.

This Mindy Kaling Velma show really is like peeling back the layers of a rotten onion because I had heard stuff vaguely about how she was TERF-y and kinda shitty but then like I turn my head and learn eight new things I'd have never imagined or hoped to hear.

BRO! HOW!?

[krasnyel]

i don’t understand where did “fred is a boring rich asshole” characterisation come from. this boy has been a cheerleader a camp counsellor a circus acrobat a guy who’s special interests are traps and nets this boy can’t even listen to rock music because its too much for him like are you kidding me

This exchange about the new Velma show is SENDING ME

[assiraphales]

the best thing about the velma series is very literally nothing about the series itself, but the effect it’s having. multi generations of fans are coming out of hibernation and exposing themself as diehards to create new content dedicated to a group of mystery solving misfits that we all unanimously love
