Have to reblogg this once more because this is what we deserved from HBO max and not Velma, if this was on air as I said previously I would be impenitently waiting for more. this is how one changes characters while still being true to a franchise. 

If I Created a Scooby-Doo Series

Since I doubt I would ever be presented with an opportunity to pitch a Scooby-Doo series to Warner Bros themselves, I might as well share my thoughts online for how I would rework the classic characters into a new team dynamic. For me, there are two issues with Scooby-Doo I'm looking to address:

1. Velma stops carrying the team. By giving everyone a niche talent or expertise, they feel more like a team working together, instead of Velma pulling all the weight on a group assignment with her friends.

2. Why does everyone want to be in a mystery solving club? The origin of their friendship interests me.

Fred Jones

I imagine Fred in my version as the son of a detective, either PI or police. That parent is dead, leaving Fred with a single parent and wanting to live up to his dead parent's legacy by becoming a detective or forensics investigator. Obviously, the skills he would bring would include criminal profiling, procedural knowledge, and possibly laws. Plus his traps, of course. It's his area to figure out suspects and their motives. He started Mystery Inc as a one-man operation. He pulled in Velma due to her knowledge of chemistry making her ideal for analyzing clues and data. He may know about forensics, but Velma actually knows how to do it.

Velma Dinkley

Velma is the egghead researcher and preppy student government member brought into the club in the first episode when Fred asks her to analyze the clue he discovered. Fascinated by riddles, puzzles, and secrets, Velma is persuaded to help by means of appealing to her curiosity and scientific mind. She primarily handles chemistry, physics, and robotics. She analyzes the clues mostly, and is great at connecting the dots.

Daphne Blake

The Daphne of my series would be a theater kid through and through, as well as a gymnast, cheerleader, and most importantly, a reporter for the school newspaper. She falls into the first mystery while sleuthing for a scoop for her column and agrees to help the gang so she can report their activities. Her background in theater means she's well versed in make-up, costuming, and special effects, and figures out how the monster is pulling off their disguise. She also serves as the face, managing their social media presence, website, image, and whatever else.

Shaggy and Scooby

Covering the last two together, Shaggy would change the most, becoming a paranoid conspiracy theorist hacker, allowing him to serve a non combat role. Shaggy's obsession with cover-ups and conspiracies makes him interested in the mysteries, even if he is afraid of the monsters. His role in the group, aside from being the hacker, is that he would know the lore of whatever supernatural creature the criminal was using. So, if a criminal posed as the Jersey Devil, Shaggy would be the one to explain the monster. He would also catch on if the monster does things that break the lore, such as a fairy touching iron or the headless horseman crossing running water. In a way, unmasking the fakes is also somewhat therapeutic for him. Shaggy in my mind has some health condition, and Scooby is his service dog, especially since large dogs like Great Danes are good support breeds. Shaggy joins the party either because he was investigating an unrelated paranormal sighting, or because the gang needed to hack into security cameras, and came to Shaggy.

In terms of identity and tone, I'd angle more for the Mystery Incorporated era, when character, lore, and an ongoing mystery breathed new life into the franchise. I liked the darker and more mature viewpoint, and would want to revive it in my own version. Especially in the age of streaming, a serialized Scooby-Doo is more likely to work than it did as a commercial tv show on broadcast television.

Velma is just a Mindy Kaling Self Insert Fanfic and its terrible, when i watched the show I feel like I’m not even watching anything from the scooby doo franchise. all the characters feel as if they belong to a totally different show.

 Fred is all aggressive masculinity  and white privilege and not even true to his character as Fred was an example to how males can be soft and connect to their emotion without being seen as less of a Man. Fred cried tears multiple times on the original show and movies. Fred never once flaunted his wealth in other people faces. heck Daphne comes from a large rich family and isn’t making fun of others for coming from poor families in the original show. and why is daphne a drug dealer. that just seems like random choice. like what is adult humor and picked the easiest jokes to make.

Velma is just a rude bitch who hates everyone like what am I suppose to like about her. there are no redeeming qualities to velma she hates white people, makes jokes about the Metoo movement which isn’t funny not cool. and the sexualization of teenagers is just uncomfortable to watch. 

only characters that somewhat okay is Norille but he’s a pretty bland character to watch in the first place and nothing more then a lovesick teen who willing to sell his kidney just to date Velma its stupid and pathetic.

And I cannot believe it might get a season 2 Why!! 

if someone wants to watch an animated show for adults I recommend Vox Machina it has amazing story telling, character growth, adult humor that isn't forced and overall a show i recommend all of the time due to the love and dedication to the franchise of critical role.

Vampire Plastic man deserve some love from Dc, He such a interesting take on the heroic and comedic plastic man. If Plas ever has to fight an evil doppelganger or his alternate Universe self it should always be Plasma man, I mean even his name is prefect. 

plasmans plasmans and a dog w/ a human nose :) <3<3<3

The Mighty Nein was what introduced and got me into Critical Role.

Omg I can’t believe it!! I always hoped that the Mighty Nien would get an animate series like Vox Machina But I didn’t think we be getting on so soon after the campaigned ended. I’m so excited, so many funny and heartfelt moments I cannot wait to see animated. And I know for sure that its going to be amazingly adapted into a tv show just like Vox Machina.

So excited it cannot be described in words. I had feared that the Guardians would never be on the big screen again but now i get a badass holiday speical guest staring the amazing Kevin Bacon, and we get Guardians of the galaxy vol 3 in theaters eventually.

Im dying right now with excitment

Late to the party but I'm definitely hype to see octopath get a sequal. and seems the sequal going have much wanted improvments.

Loving the steam punkish vibes int he trailer

And adoring Partitio the merchant! Great character design.

[lurkinganon]

Definitely been reading digimon lore for no reason but bored and sad that it never used in any of the games/anime like why?

[lurkinganon]

Hmm i give this a 4/10 due to how little skin is shown. And Plastic man isn't allowed to have toes! He must always have feet similar to Barbie feet!

Weirdly it almost seem like the artist decided to cover up plas legs suddenly. Hence why the costume seem so off. It like he wearing his regular costume then just put on some leggings undeath it. Its weird

rate this costume i demand it
