Well, you know it’s a bad sign when they dump the trailer the day before they drop the show. Also…
The fuck was that?
Mindy Kaling seems like a very bitter person.
The sheriff looks like Don Knotts. I appreciate that detail.
Yup. This doesn’t look good.
“Look how they massacred my boy”
The concept of the show looks fun but my only question is:
Where are the jokes?
Who got their Brickleberries in my Scooby Snacks?!
I get using an existing property to bring in an established fan base but this is so radically different it could have easily just been its own thing.
How about just mindy kaling’s mysteries. (worked for Tyson)
My bet is that without all the “look how different we are from the original “stuff this show has nothing that would let it stand on its own.
That being said I am going to give it a shot. Hope I am wrong.
This looks like Fillmore meets Archies Weird Mysteries with edgy adult humour. I might give it a watch but I don’t really see why this couldn’t have been its own thing rather than a spin on an existing property.
I’m all for representation but it’s crazy how Fred is now the minority when the group started out all as white people…
Actual trash straight up. Although I think everyone expected this
This looks terrible, but I’ll probably be hate watching every episode lmao
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to reinvent old properties. Experimentation is fine, but there’s a clear problem when you’re not even allowed to experiment with the title character of the franchise (the writers were apparently not allowed to use the fuckin talking dog that makes the property standout), it’s likely better to choose an original story at that point.
Probably cancelled in 2 weeks.
Just because character keeps saying “jinkies” does not mean that she becomes Velma all of a sudden. Just saying.
Anyway, it honestly looks like it was written as a different show altogether, but after the writing was done, someone on the top said “Alright. Now slightly rewrite it, so we could slap a Scooby-Doo mark on it”.
Why is it when white people are cast as characters that are normally minorities it’s a huge deal but when two iconic characters like shaggy and Velma are made black it’s nbd
The white guy is an arrogant idiot? How cutting edge!!!
One question where is Scoob at???
Looks like a mess.
I’m gonna give it a shot. I like to support animators and don’t wanna give Warner any more excuses to cut more animation funding.
If it turns out to be as bad as everyone’s is worried about then I’ll drop it. But I am gonna at least give it a shot
So all the “leaked” and descriptions were all true, this is the literal embodiment of a shitty product coming from people who don’t give a shit or outright hate the source material and just want to make a mockery out of it. None of the “jokes” is even remotely “funny” in the trailer, because there’s no joke in it like at all.
Also I hate how most adult cartoon shows like this all have the same stiff ass looking animation with zero appeal here, the “What’s New Scooby Doo” and Mystery Inc has 10x better animation quality and art style than this shite.
> Comments are turned off.
They turned off the comments as they were funnier than the show
I just don’t understand what they were thinking when they made this show. Whose idea was it? What demographic was it aimed at? How did it get past QC?
Like, think about it:
Someone wrote this show.
Someone approved this show.
Money and time was spent to animate this show.
So there’s no dog? Ya know, the dog that’s the main character of all these shows?
I’m so scared, I wish I had a ham sandwich to calm my nerves.
Man this looks…so…bad. Like even ignoring all the lame overdone jokes, I’m gonna have to quote another guy who said this show feels like it’s coming from someone who fucking hates Scooby Doo. It’s so different and removed from the source material…why not just make a parody at that point? I don’t get who this is supposed to appeal to.
this……….isn’t that great, like this show is like its trying waaaaayyy to hard to be edgy
Well I watched the trailer and it was everything I expected it to be.
I’ll watch this to see if it’s a garbage fire.
Not enough traps.
When will adult animation move on from comedy? At this point, probably never.
Looks bad but I quite like the animation style at least.
I have never been so egregiously turned off a show in my life
Just the art style, the lazy jokes, the all time pop culture characters reduced to shitty out of character knock offs the fact this is a legit Scooby Doo property with no Scooby and AN ACTUAL MURDER?!
It’s more clear than ever before this was an original show they couldn’t get greenlit so they shoehorned in the Scooby IP to get money for it. Nothing about this have anything to do with the franchise except the surface level mystery solving and the character’s names.
I think everyone’s criticisms, while valid, are kinda overblown.
Scooby Doo is a 50+ year old franchise at this point. It’s had so many different interpretations and incarnations over the years. The franchise has done all it can with the original characters. Because of that, I actually don’t mind this show being drastically different.
It’s not like Velma is taking the spot of a more worthy Scooby Doo cartoon. The original characters will still be featured in the usual bi-annual movie releases.
With the franchise’s current age, any new shows have to be creative and do something new to kind of justify its existence. I say let the franchise experiment wildly with new show concepts.
I really don’t care that much about the behind the scenes drama or the public opinion of this show. I don’t know anything recent about Mindy or why people may dislike her right now. So based on that, I’m looking forward to Velma and judging if it’s a good show based on it’s own merits.
Comments are disabled already. My god.
So, I have a low tolerance for cringe. Can anyone who’s seen this trailer and who’s also seen the trailer for that “Q-Force” show compare which one looks worse?
What’s up with “not shaggy”?
Felt like a parody skit.
Why couldn’t this one be the tax write-off?
Yeah I mean I kinda get what they were trying to do but wow this looks really bad. Just awful. It feels like fellow kids material and a bunch of lame jokes like the dumb blink and stare when shaggy says he doesn’t like drugs. Is Mindy kaling out of touch or something like why was this made?
Maybe HBO knows this going to fail, which is why they are releasing the Last of Us around the same time.
