So, you didn't enjoy Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated? Btw, I like you blog and I wanted to thank you for reblogging my posts of Scooby-doo comics from Holy-Shit-Comics. You actually saved the blog.
omg :o well no problem, im glad to have helped! and im glad you like my blog ^_^
and yeah i haven't really been liking mystery incorporated :/. to be fair, i haven't finished it, but i've seen most of season 1 and heard a bit about season 2 . i understand the appeal of it and i don't blame anyone for liking it, but for me there's far too much that bothers about it and very little i like 🤷
i was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for season 1 and stick with it despite a lot of big problems i have w it (velma and shaggy's toxic relationship and the way it was handled, the constant relationship drama, daphnes whole personality revolving around fred, the gang being mean to marcie and calling her 'hot dog water', the show being kind of mean-spirited in general, the writing and mysteries being generally below average of what id expect from scooby-doo esp considering it's probably the most popular show in the fanbase, etc)
but then i got to episode 22 (attack of the headless horror) and the bold-faced racism in that episode that's just kind of treated like a joke and and not condemned at all was the straw that broke the camels back for me... and, insult to injury, fred was my favorite character in sdmi up to that point (the only one i found really likable at all tbh) and they made him hero-worship the racist guy :(
i might still finish it eventually, and im sure there will be some stuff i enjoy if i do, but for me personally, even if i end up really liking season 2 i feel like there's already been too much bad in season 1 for me to end up coming away from it thinking it was a good show overall (and i definitely don't think it's the best scooby-doo show like a lot of people say, not with what's new and be cool as its competitors, which are great from start to finish)
that being said, i enjoy art and media analysis quite a bit and i think if i do finish it, analyzing it and breaking down what i thought it did wrong and what it did right could be a lot of fun and a good learning experience
#but yeah i think it's ok to like the show bc it has its redeeming qualities#but i just wish people would be a little bit more critical of the things they enjoy and ESPECIALLY what (and how) they recommend to people#and it just feels overrated tbh 🤷#it's the scooby-doo show that most people my age and younger grew up with#and then on the flip side so many people hate be cool scooby doo without even watching it because of the art style#a scoobydoozies original#sdmi negative#sdmi critical#but i of course don't wanna make people feel bad for liking it#i like criticizing things and i think it's really important#i've seen plenty of sdmi fans who are critical of its problems and still enjoy the show and that's great#me personally id usually rather watch something else#this is very long-winded and tangential sorry lol
