Pin this. Facts.

For me, the original Scooby Doo cartoon is a product of the hippie generation of the 60s and 70s, from the name and design of the Mystery Machine, the fact that it's okay for teens / young adults to travel the country by themselves in a van unsupervised (both men and women together, I may add), general themes of friendship and having a good time, and so on. The villains in Scooby Doo mysteries in contrast tend to be scheming and cynical adults who scare and threaten their victims for money and stuff, essentially the way hippies saw politicians and capitalists during that time. In our modern day and age however, the culture is a lot less independent and much more materialistic and spiteful. It is more important to the current youth to attain social media clout and money than to just spend time with friends and explore outside your own echo chamber, so "Velma: is more a representation of our current generation than the hippie culture that inspired Scooby Doo in the first place. All the characters are obnoxious and trying one-up each other in a futile bid to be the best, there is little teamwork or friendship between them, the constant meta-jokes takes the audience out of the experience, and it is more a reflection of Mindy Kaling's bitterness than Scooby Doo. It's actually funny: the debunking-supernatural investigations working as predecessors to Scooby Doo actually had violence and murder and casual racism (see "The Horror at Cut-Off Cove" by Frank Belknap Long), and Political Correctness has somehow managed to revive those unsavory aspects back into our media today.

Its funny that the "progression" has just been flipping the roles of racism. If all races can freely shit on white people than I'm fully within my rights to reciprocate that back to them. Ya get what ya give

This comment is on point. My take on Kaling is that she was jealous of the popular girls in high school. She felt like an outsider and wanted to be one of the cool kids but was never accepted and never got over the rejection. On the other hand she has this weird “privilege” guilt that the w°ke have instilled in her having been born into a wealthy & connected family. She’s a walking contradiction essentially.

I'm pretty sure that's going to be the weak twist at the end.

They might even go WTD all the way, and make the waitress's fetus be the killer.

This is so far away from everything else scooby doo, it's honestly not. It's like those parody shows where the characters are actually very distinct to avoid being sued by the actual IP holders

Scooby-Doo was your childhood??

Is it though? The Star Wars sequels? They are explicitly sequels in the same universe that retroactively damage the characters, integrity, accomplishments, and even the metaphysics of the preceding movies, so you could say they ruin something all right. The newest Terminator movie? It literally kills John Connor to replace him with a wet sock of a girl and make it into a girl power movie, completely erasing the previous continuity and making everything achieved in Terminator 2 pointless, so that's also ruined all right. Velma is an alleged prequel to a show from the 70s that's also set in the present day, starring race-bend characters who share nothing with the originals other than the names and some surface level similarities in appearance, it doesn't follow the series' monster-of-the-week formula, the characters don't travel around, and there's not even a dog named Scooby Doo in it. These two things simply don't exist in the same universe, so it's hard to get really worked up about it from that angle, so I don't see how it retroactively ruins the original.

@@darrengordon-hill Scooby Doo has been in TV for the past 60 years, and I can remember at least 3 distinct series and several movies that kicked off in the late-90s and early 2000s that shaped a LOT of peoples' childhoods. Scooby Doo isn't exactly obscure - maybe you didn't watch it, but it's unlikely you haven't heard of it. It held a lot of fond memories for people, and it was usually a fun experience. I don't see this example as exactly wrong.

@@darrengordon-hill There’s been a lot of recent Scooby Doo shows, I don’t know where you’ve been.

and voice actors, mainly Frank Welker, who had to see what they did to his character

At least all the hate has properly gone to Mindy and the showrunner. Probably helps that Mindy has been the face of it from the start, and her accusations that people are just racist. Just about everything but the writing has been praised. Animation, acting, sound design. People like those.

Yeah for real though, most of the show was absolute trash but the animation was amazing during certain scenes. Too bad they won't get the credit they deserve because of crap writing.

Just around 2013

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!

Some still do.

I don't know why the clearly gay men from our youth, like schroeder in peanuts, are never outed. Meanwhile lesbianism is forced on any female character that wasn't excessively 'hot' or even worse Was hot but was smart or even accomplished in any other way. So if you're not hot And putting out, you must be a lesbian. Those are the only options. Pretty fundy religious and anti female if you ask me. Maybe they mistook funny cartoon for fundy?

Honestly a lot of adult shows I have heard of just kind of don’t even feel like an actual adult show but what a kid would consider an adult show

Yeah.

"Close enough" by creators of Regular Show, is an example of a good adult show. The family of the main characters is actually functional and is based on love and support. Imagine this in today's day and age.

These are usually made by rich post-college hipsters who still have a fragment of their straw goth phase stuck in their heads where they're convinced that the world is one big sinful spithole where there's no such thing as innocence and generosity. Their idea for humanity is that everybody wants to screw everybody else over for some benefit, including you the reader, but this is mostly so that they can have an excuse and guilt free self-justification to screw others over themselves.

Even Infinity Train is more mature than that. Actually, Infinity Train could get brutal and I still prefer it!

i'm glad he got paid, i'm sorry it had to be for this....

This comment made me legitimately sad in the same why seeing the actor for Luke from Star Wars talk about the sequels. I feel bad for the voice actor of Fred to have a part is his legacy mocked.

Maybe he’s helping his millenials kids buy a house ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The only good part about this show

He also voice Dr. Claw, Megatron, Nibbler, nearly every animal who doesn't talk in English in Disney movies from the 90's (e.g. Abu), Santa's Little Helper, etc. His credit list is insane.

Honestly from the little I’ve seen of law&order unless it’s changed in the later season I don’t ever remember seeing a lesbian cop but the scraps I’ve watched have been from the earlier seasons so that’s likely a factor but everyone was good at their job so even my limited knowledge doesn’t line up with Velma

Yeah. Boys trying to get on girls' good side via gifts sure, but the whole blackmail thing? More like the girls stringing the poor nice guy along to milk his naivety. That's a much more common trope ... or a trope/cliche at all. In my experience.

@@givmi_more_w9251 the closest thing to the blackmail part i remember is one episode of hannah montana where a character holds the knowledge to a secret of miley cyrus to do some things like getting a kiss

@@givmi_more_w9251 If it is as simple as boys getting on girls good side via gifts thing I've actually seen it before.

I've always laughed at it, like dude do you really think because you had a bad day and I bought you a bag of chips you're obligated to do literally anything for me? It's chips. Tf. But I mean yeah if you like someone and they want something you might get that thing for them.

Scoob was invited to be a part of the series, but was still in therapy, trying to get over Velma's increasingly desperate attempts to mount him, in am attempt to get over her crippling self-induced loneliness...

>Why can't things be like they were in the early 2000s? Because parasites wont stop until the victim is dead.

Yeah, at least back then when they tried adaptations for the most part the worst they got was well meaning but incompetent. Now we have…this turd. The only value gained from it is enjoyment of togetherness brought on by how universally shit it is.

more like 1990 please, all the revolution of the CGI and creativity without the stupid and corporate greed of today.

Back then, people like Mindy were featured on shows like Jersey Shore and Jerry Springer... Now, the people that used to be "featured" ON morally egregious shows, are the ones making them. Read: The morally vapid producers of Jersey Shore, etc - weren't mentally capable of sinking low enough for a "modern" audience. #Progress

Mindy Kaling poured her issues into the script then she dropped the script into the worst toilet in Scotland. Reached in. Pulled it back out. Then said "There's your fu**ing dancer!" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hp5olrlm0qy7n30.html

That's what keeps getting me too. I commented about it in the last video and this one, but yeah, seems like that part just kinda gets ignored, and I feel like that's probably the biggest offender here. Awful lot to unpack on that one. Mindy might have a little dirt she needs to let out.

Tell that to Japanese anime.

@@SirBlackReeds "Japanese anime" is an oxymoron. Anime is Japanese.

@@SirBlackReeds I can. Easily. Japanese creators should be more aware of the wider world and that their concent laws and what may be acceptable there is not in the western world. Keep in mind, however, creators will reserve the right to show what would be allowed in their area. If you don't want to bend to a country's rules, you don't have to. For example, if American creators constantly bowed to China's rules when it came to media, well, there's a reason South Park is banned in China. At least in certain animes, there is far better censorship than there is here. Heck, even some hentai has better censorship. But I do agree that any sphere of media should not show kids in the buff or sexualize them. Problem being, though, the rules of your country are not the rules of the world. I'm not saying it's any less disturbing. All media should be accountable for what it does wrong or disturbing for international audiences. But we aren't talking about anime. We are talking about a self aware adult cartoon. A show that has AMERICAN roots. No argument can be made of a different age of consent law or a difference in culture, again, not saying it's an excuse. This was made by an adult, cognitive of the laws and social rules in the country they reside. They broke those rules and this filth was given the okay, shamelessly. There should be repercussions for such things.

No, race swapping is seen as ok when they go from white to anything else

I think the problem with race swaps nowadays is we *know* they're done for political reasons because they tell us that. The other day I read someone ask a question: why, if race swaps are so bad, did comic book fans not complain about Michael Clarke Duncan being cast as Kingpin in the Daredevil movie? It's because they just did it and didn't issue self-congratulatory press release about how they're fully committed to diversity. In the 1989 Batman movie Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent and similarly no one cared.

I feel like it depends on how it's exactly done.

Writers do it all the time. Horatio Hornblower= C.S. Forrester Luke Skywalker= George Lucas Andy Dufrene= Stephen King I do it too. The trick is to be brutally self-critical when you do, or at least be willing to put your own faults into your characters. Luke is impatient, naive, whiny. Hornblower is tone deaf, often aloof, cold, fatalistic, filled with self-doubt. Dufrene is a antisocial soft spoken recluse, comes off snobby, a dork. All my self inserts are often the biggest butt of the joke. Point, you show the not so likeable stuff so when they do heroic stuff they seem like real people. Because, in essence they ARE real people....their creators, warts and all!

The thing about Hermione is that she gets admonished time and again with how she acts towards her peers (less about her actual intellect and more about her nature as a nagger) among her other shenanigans

@@JamesRDavenport Jo March,( Louisa May Alcott) Nick Caraway,(F Scott Fitzgerald) Huckleberry Finn,(Mark Twain)and Elizabeth Bennet(Jane Austen) are a few more good examples I can think of.

That makes me feel so Much better about this self insert situation. Writers giving their self inserts flaws, and NOT making them the main character

There was joy in it. There was having fun. I gotta rewatch them again. I’ve been rewatching all the movies I can. Frankenweenie is just amazingly fun.

Still not Shaggy though, he doesn't even eat huge amounts of food, it's what he loves. And it would be nice if it was their own children doing the mystery and a new dog.

@@Obmenistrator It's even better when you check all the boxes so when people do start saying, It's really bad, they can just exploit their diverse cast more than they already have by saying, "You racist, you homophobe, you sexism, you ableist, you xenophobic, you probably votes trumps, you baby.

Yeah like this Bruce Wayne guy... I mean sure his parents got murdered in cold blood in front of him when he was just a child, and the city he lives in is perpetually in danger of being overrun by crime, but did you know he was HUWHITE, and MALE, and RICH?!

The pure vitriol of envy and jealousy in this statement has a certain comedic value. If it weren't told unironically. I don't want to pull the "misandry" card. In my world, no group of people should be beyond parody and satire, and there are the "spoiled rich brats". But this is just mean-spirited, childish, and most important for parody/satire: unfunny.

The only thing that comes to mind from recent pop culture is superhero origins. Batman, Superman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor etc., all portrayed by (admitedly) good looking actors and all of them gaining "more power" as their story progresses... completely, however, glossing over the sacrifices and struggles that often come with them

@@johnmihelis1699 One could make the point that the power being bad was really Iron Man's origin. Tony Stark giving up the power and money was the cause of Steyn's attempt to kill him after all

They literally just make up stereotypes and then are like "Remember this well-known stereotype? We definitely didn't make it up!"

That's a really good point lol I'm 36 weeks with my 3rd now, and was definitely put off by how much the writers seem to hate children. Pregnancy dreams are something else! My dreams about my kiddos are usually accurate, especially if I dream about their gender. I knew my daughter would be firey, and my son would be mellow. Not sure about this kid in utero, however. But I think that's because he's an adopted embryo. It's really interesting :)

Yeah. I'm too young to be a parent, but I saw several news articles of a FETUS, flipping off her mother through the ultrasound. A fetus, I tell you.

I guess comedy is subjective and I'm not usually the best judge of what is or is not funny, but I strongly doubt the comedic potential of a baby posing in the womb. Either way, they just show it and expect us to laugh.

This would be much better

There is a live-action film that centers around Daphne and Velma that was made by the Tisdales' own Blondie Girl Productions.

It was meant to be just a Velma Origins Story, meaning before she even meet the gang, the Gang got dragged in later on because people were angry about the first tease showing Velma as East-Asian. If anything an Origins Story kinda decanonizes the fact that Velma has know the gang since Elementary school because A-Pup-Named Scooby-Doo is considered canon origins.

That or have it start off as a CANON origin story for Velma and slowly lead into the formation of Mystery Incorporated as the series finale that leads into the rest of the Scooby Doo canon.

@@UltraEpicLeader10020 Be a bit tough to lead into the rest of the scooby-doo canon, when the Scooby-Doo canon chronologically starts with A-Pup-Named-Scooby when they were all in Elementary, and also the fact the rest of the canon is completely different character origins.

Picturing James Sunderland thinking about Velma while looking lost, confused and miserable is likely far funnier than anything in the show itself.
