#mystery inc rewatch

[7-crows-in-a-trench-coat]

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.

Lowkey its my biggest pet peeve when ppl say something is canon in scooby doo when its only canon in mystery inc

i can’t believe the man who made this was in an episode of scooby doo????

Harlan Ellison you will always be famous

I've been mulling over Scooby-Doo origin movies and there is one take that hasn't been done that I think has so much potential

Shaggy & Daphne as next door neighbors & childhood friends!

Whenever they want to explain where the gang gets any kind of funding it's usually that either Shaggy or Daphne are loaded, but if we take the route that both of them come from money then it stands to reason they probably both lived in the rich neighborhood of Coolsville & met at a young age!

what’s new scooby-doo was good fyi

[bird-wells214]

god scooby doo mystery inc really GOT IT yknow. the art style reminisced for the classic scooby doo, but stood on it's own with modern colors and designs. the monsters were scary and disturbing but very stylized, unlike the average horror but unique in each of their stances. the score channeled the vintage spooks of the 70s-80s, but again, was modern and never came CLOSE to relying on the nostalgia to keep their viewers engaged. there were multiple direct references to classic horror and sci fi. the monsters and main villains are sourced from real life art, myths, and conspiracy theories -- cthulhu, the krampus, baba yaga, nibiru, the annunaki, etc. forgive me for going crazy over (what's supposed to be) a kids show but scooby doo mystery inc fucking GETS IT LIKE NOBODY ELSE

Do you think they explored each oth-

[luna--dragon]

Okay, to counteract all the Velma series bullshit, I'm gonna rewatch the Mystery Incorporated series for the first time in like 5 years, and review all the episodes and monsters.

Gonna tag it "sdmi rewatch" so mute that if you aren't interested.

kind of tempted to watch the society but if I was going to watch a tv show about a group of kids left alone after their parents mysteriously disappear I'd just finally find out how cbbc's the sparticle mystery concluded...
