MY version of an "adult" scooby-doo movie or show would be to keep everything pretty much the same but shaggy now visibly smokes weed.

while we’re all brainstorming ideas for how ‘velma’ could have been a good ‘edgier and more mature modern take on scooby-doo’, i have an idea!

the mystery gang are given more 21st century redesigns. no more bell bottoms, some of them start wearing sneakers, shaggy wears a baggy hoodie, stuff like that.

they still have their usual color palettes and individual styles (shaggy’s clothes are baggy and comfortable, daphne is stylish and fashionable, etc), but they dress more like present-day highschool students. but, obviously, no designs are too detailed that they’re hard to animate and their designs shouldn’t date the show by being too specific to the trends of the 2020’s.

but, in one episode, crystal cove high has a “60’s themed” school dance, and the mystery gang attends in their original outfits!! maybe some extra 1960’s flair could be added just for fun, too. and the episode could have other references to the og series as well. the episode could have other 60’s references and easter eggs scattered throughout the episode.

later in the episode the gang has a classic benny hill theme chase with the villian, and, when it stops, scooby says “reja ru!” (deja vu). then fred, being a himbo, leans over to daphne and says “since when does scooby speak italian?”. daphne naturally gives him a “???” look, but before anyone can react to what fred or scooby said, the trap goes off and the bad guy is caught. episode continues from there.

there’s so much potential with the mystery gang. it sucks that velma (2023) hates its source material so much.

Ok as someone with a longstanding special interest in scooby doo, I feel qualified to pitch an actual "real" reboot. They're poly, in a qpr, and instead of solving random mysteries, people come to them to help solve crimes that the police have brushed off. They're Benoit Blanc except they're four people and they have a dog. Scooby can still talk, somehow

i wish everyone had gotten to know him, really know him, because they would have loved him.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER S04E11 - DOOMED

Have a silly thought:

Scooby Doo started in 1969.

Daphne is frequently interpreted as having a strained relationship with her parents, but also coming from wealth, and being able to rely on that wealth to some degree.

A minor can be added as an 'authorized user' to a parent's credit card, but cannot have their own until age 18 (raised to 21 without cosigner in 2009).

It was illegal for women to have their own credit cards without a male cosigner (parent or spouse) until 1974.

Daphne wants a credit card, that she can pay for from her trust fund, or from money made solving mysteries, that her parents can't actually look at and see purchases on.

Daphne marries Fred for Legal Lending the second they turn 18 in like 1970, along with a host of other "Daphne is the money manager for the Mystery Gang but isn't legally allowed financial independence, so Fred just cosigns everything for her and then lets her do whatever she thinks is best" reasons.

So I heard we were redesigning the Scooby gang for funsies. And character design is my passion so… Have this college au!

I honestly think that Velma would be the only one who’s actually a criminal justice major or going to school for a similar field, but I also think she’d minor in like robotics or something. She’s got a full scholarship bc she’s like a super genius or something.

Daphne is a fashion design major but dabbles in a few other things when she isn’t doing mystery stuff with the gang. I’ve always seen her as a jack of all trades type who can pick up skills p easily tbh. She’s just girlboss like that. Also the fact that Shaggy wears socks and sandals drives her nuts.

Fred is a theater kid and if you think otherwise you’re wrong. Idk much about theater majors but I think he’d focus more on the technical side of things, but he’s still a pretty good actor.

Shaggy just seems like they’d be the type to be a culinary arts major bc y’know… food. He’s also on the college track team bc that also makes sense to me. And Scooby is their emotional support dog. Anxiety service dog??? (I’m not all that familiar with the terms and what is considered like a service animal or not so I’m so sorry if that’s not correct.) Also baggy clothes to hold all the snacks.

I imagine that the gang is still solving little mysteries while in school since chaotic stuff just gravitates to them via the power of being main characters, but I also think it would be fun to have like an overarching mystery as well. And I think it would include the gang noticing that despite the normal lifespan of a dog, Scooby doesn’t seem to be getting any older…

Skeptic Velma who treats science like iron clad rules that can't be broken, is extremely close-minded and doesn't believe in the supernatural: boring, overused, nothing new, not funny at all, girl you know that is NOT how science works Believer Velma who gets SO HYPED about the ghost haunting this bank that she barges in with a home made ghostbusters ghost vacuum backpack, has a little recorder where she makes her observations about what kind of creature this is; Is it a poltergeist? Is it a haunted object left behind in one of the safes acting up?? Is it a secret murder??? She doesn't know but she will damn well find out!!! She has sample tubes where she puts all that glowing goo that is all over the floor and a EMF meter attached to her waistband. Then she is later super disappointed that it was actually the manager trying to scare people away so he could steal from the coffers: New, innovative, would watch a whole show where she is like this, a true scientist spirit

i know were long past the pitching our own versions of scooby doo tumblr phase but like if i could write/direct just one single piece of scooby doo media i would do an episode (based on the original like 60s/70s run or thereabouts) where the gang is investigating rumors of vampires lurking around a certain abandoned manor or smth on the outskirts of a small superstitious rural town. pretty standard stuff. they hear about the supposed vampire sightings and decide to investigate. its all going pretty normal until they actually spot one, shrouded in shadow at first, and see them turn into a bat and take flight before their very eyes! its a real vampire!

so this huge bat is swooping and screeching at them and everyones flipping out running all helter skelter but then she transforms again and shaggy and scoob suddenly just. stop.

after a sec shaggy starts to laugh. the rest of the gang is like oh god the vampire did something to him or idk maybe he finally got so scared something in his mind just snapped but shaggy is just like lol guys its ok its just sibella.

and sibella is now fully revealed to be a like young teen lookin vampire girl, a little older than she appeared in ghoul school but def still recognizable. and shes super psyched to see her old teachers again and theyre all like catching up (this so called abandoned house is actually her extended familys vacation home (its their first vacation in a century or so and its fallen into a bit of disrepair ok) and shes visiting with them) meanwhile the rest of the gang is like ????

and shaggys like what? i told you guys about that time i took that job as a gym teacher at that creepy boarding school where the kids were all little monsters

and velmas like ............we thought you were being hyperbolic

and daphne and fred are just like EVERYBODY SHUT UP MONSTERS ARE REAL?? FOR REAL??? NOT JUST OLD DUDES IN COSTUMES???

and shaggy says uh yeah did you guys not think monsters were real? like weve been sayin..

and velma says smth like what are you talking about? every time weve investigated some supernatural phenomenon its always been a guy in costume, how could you possibly have deduced from that that monsters are real??

and shaggys just like .......velma my best friend is a whole Talking Dog
