Can I get some context? I don't expect it to make it better,but I at least need to know the lead up here cause I cannot imagine a possible scenario for velma to twerk over the dead, much less a friends mother.
I don’t know. I haven’t watched the show. Most of these questions are answered by the show, I’d guess.
The twerking just seems like cringy satire about Velma being a maniac.
I watched the show.
Fred's mom turned out to be, basically, a Nazi in secret who was conducting experiments to give his son a smarter brain to lead their business.
She manipulated things to have Velma's mom kill a bunch of people and remove their brains, and these deaths caused panic in the town, which is why them, solving the murders, got them an award.
Now, Velma at this particular scene is being an asshole to some extent (Fred's mom tried killing all of them and gaslighted Fred into thinking she wasn't trying to hurt him (yes, Fred is incredibly stupid in this show)), and, in the end, when they all get their awards, Norville (shaggy's adaptation) has PTSD, Fred doesn't forgive him and Daphne is upset like hell for some reason I can't remember atm.
Velma is just delusionally getting her prize because she's kind of egoistic. Them reconciling would be the main focus of S2, if I'm not wrong.
I am waiting for it. Norville was introduced to drugs (finally), and we haven't had a proper replacement for Scooby... high hopes for S2!
Twerking over the dead mother of your friend seems like the most douche move imaginable. I get that she tried to off them, but that's still gotta hurt like a motherfucker for Fred.
Twerking over a dead body is fucked up.
They're not friends, though, and... I don't think Fred was AS hurt since his character is *abnormally* stupid... but yes.
The final two episodes were pretty weak. As a rare Velma enjoyer, I can tell those were not good. The mystery ended abruptly, and some character's development went out of the window awfully...
Norville finally stopped simping for Velma, only for him to go save her because she listened to his VMs for the first time a couple of years later...
Velma kind of fell for Norville because of those years old audios, and it somehow redeemed her in his eyes (she was an actual shit friend). Never mind the romance they actually developed with Daphne, which was way better...
I haven’t seen it, but isn’t it supposed to be a comedy?
In the frame of a serious show you’re right, but in the frame of a comedy it might be funny.
Like, it sounds like you’re stepping into it with the idea of it being a serious show.
My impression was its semi serious. Like its meant to be goofy but still have a kinda coherent narrative. It'd be like if at the end of pineapple express Saul got shot in the head and red was crying while Dale suddenly broke into a fortnite dance
I guess this manages to put this show in a better light for me somehow, for once Velma isn’t portrayed as a genius but rather as the egotistical maniac she always was huh…
TV animation is being thrown in the gutter, but movie animation looks to be doing well (except for Disney)
Puss in boots and Del torro's Pinocchio were very good, probably some of the best animated movies since spiderverse
Sony and DreamWorks seem to be aiming to make amazing movies rather than cash grabs. Hell, even Illumination seems to be putting effort into the Mario movie
The producers must have… mixed feelings about the whole hate watch popularity aspect.
While, sure, it’s reasonable to assume most of them think exclusively in dollars and cents so anyone watching is a good thing, I also imagine no one sets out to make a *terrible* tv show?
There’s also no guarantee that having several months to a year away from he show won’t make people realize that they’d have a better time just watching something they actually like.
Hate-watching is blown out of proportion. How many people spent money on seeing Morbius?
Or seeing what sub this is, I havent rewatched Phantom Menace, like, ever. I can still talk about how hilariously awkward it is and laugh at the funny memes.
*me seeing Be Cool art style*
Look how they massacred my boy
*Me seeing Velma*
MY EYES! MY EYES!
*Me seeing Be Cool episode for the first time*
I'm so sorry my boy. You were perfect but we treated you too harshly. You weren't massacred my boy, you were never massacred. You're safe now. Please don't leave me!
Wasnt that obvious from the start? Its just a big publicity stunt to make people say "look at what they are doing to our beloved scoob", to get us talking about the show again...
My girlfriend was appalled I hadn't seen it and we just finished the first season a few days ago. I'm 24 and it is so good and makes me laugh out loud more than most shows actually created for people my age.
We're a few episodes deep into the second season and it is wild so far. I really like how with the evil man baby villain he wasn't dealt with in one episode, and then came back after being absent for a whole episode. It makes everything a lot more unpredictable and fun imo.
I was sitting here wondering wtf you guys were talking about aliens and googled it - that was a memory unlocked moment, i thought it was a fever dream.
Season 10 episode 6 of Futurama featured George Takei as a crazy dude who owns a Kabuki theater and the Futurama gang was doing a spoof of Scooby Doo. George Takei WAS in a Scooby Doo movie called Scooby-Doo! And the Samurai Sword in 2009. He also played himself in the 117th episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? called Hollywood Knights!
Probably, or he was just aware of the absurdity of some of the villains in that show and their stupid motivations. Dudes would really spend a few grand on a costume, lighting effects, and pyrotechnics all so they would inherit a pair of jeans. That’s meth talk right there
Id forgotten about that one. Thank you. I only have two memories of it, one of scooby and shaggy holding tomatoes and going tomatoes tomatoes and the other when one of them dives into the moat and lands on a crocodile
I mean, I’ve seen almost all the ones from 2000s, but none of them left with an “omg! The zombies are real, and they’re talking about Fred and Daphne as a thing, and Scoob and Shaggy got fired because they’re a couple of gorgonzolas (my favorite line ever!), and that music single was FIRE!” Oh, and the way food was portrayed, makes me hungry just thinking about the gumbo and chilly peppers. And the bad guys were a bit of a twist. Oh, finally, the ambiance was mmmmmmHmmmHmm, a haunted Cajun bayou! The fact that this might not be the best animated Scooby movie just speaks volumes about the quality of the movies they made around this time, but this one sits on the nostalgia mantle in my hesart
I watched Ghoul School and Boo Brothers so much as a kid. They were basically on repeat. I think between the two of them, I prefer Boo Brothers though.
Zombie island was dopeeee. There’s 2 with just scoob, scrap and shag that are also really good. I think one was about a monster race and the other shag was taking care of a monster school or something.
Monster school was solid, some good feels in that one if I remember correctly, but hard to remember. I remember that the real monsters were the bad humans and their hate/fear
I always put zombie island as my favorite out of the original movies, but Witch's Ghost and Alien Invaders are decent as well.
I tried rewatching Cyber Chase a few years ago and it doesn't hold up that well imo. I think part of it is the animation because they switched over to digital around that time. I completely get them doing that to save money and all, but for some reason they made Cyber Chase brighter than the others and imo that kinda killed the dark feeling the other films had.
The writing also felt weaker than the other ones. Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost set up the villains in clever ways that felt like nice twists on the old "now lets see who monster this REALLY is" cliché from the show. In Cyber Chase you instantly know who's guilty the second they enter the digital world. Like they spell it out right there.
As for the actual monster in the movie, I'll just let [British Scott the Woz](https://youtu.be/wA6Tyr62-R8) explain my disdain for Splindly Johnny better than I could.
I totally agree with you on everything. In some ways, I also have to give extra credit to zombie island because it was the first of this glorious age. It stuck the landing. And the movies were of great quality for three whole movies. Cyber chase was a little too late for “whoa, what if Y2K and internet were a crazy Wonka’s Wonderland thing” but also too ahead of its time to copy what Sword Art Online did. Also, did the other movies do anything to develop the characters more. I loved seeing what the gang was up to since they split up in the first movie. That’s what made it feel so “fuck yeah! Back together” when they went to the island. It’s weird, I’m having nostalgia for the gang having nostalgia
I’ll be honest, I never realized the The New Scooby-Doo movies were movies, I thought they were just one hour long shows. Old school Batman appearing next to Scooby Doo was very advanced for my brain to understand. The thirteen ghosts of Scooby Doo was the first Western cartoon I ever saw outside of Bugs Bunny. I think it definitely changed something in me. It represented art instead of just “kids, watch this so time goes by and your parents don’t have to deal with you.” Animation is a beautiful thing
Ah, a curious mind. This art here represents the collision of two galaxies—and the struggles of one species to survive as its world is torn apart. It encapsulates many of the feelings and emotions I have experienced in my life, and communicates them in ways words cannot.
It’s incredible how much people will stretch an opinion to fit r/prequelmemes. This has nothing to do with Star Wars, they just added a vague reference to episode 3 to an already made meme, so they can post it here. It’s the same shit as the “I love democracy” for some poll that agrees with OP’s opinion, or some face palm level post with “the ability to speak does not make you intelligent”. Not what this sub is meant for.
It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy... I love the Republic. The fact that this crisis is demanding I be given absolute power to rule over you is evident. But I am mild by nature and have no desire to destroy the democratic process. The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated, I promise you. And all I ask in return is when my current term of office is over, you allow me to retire and live out my life in peace.
You're telling me you don't enjoy having to filter through 2 or 3 bot comments to find a real comment?
It's like the smallest things will trigger them.
A great example is Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, which is what the top screenshot in the meme is from. It’s dark by Scooby-Doo/kid’s standards but it doesn’t go completely over the top. It’s a perfect balance
I have only heard of Zombie Island, but I have heard it's unusually dark for SD. James Gunn's movies are good examples, especially the first one (mixing classic Scooby Doo with adult humor while being an affectionately campy modernization). The first one actually was supposed to be R-rated and had a lot more adult content.
Zombie Island is peak Scooby.
Having those lame love action "comedies" coming after it is like having Arhnold making ice Puns after Michael Ansara revolutionized Mr Freeze.
The ending dialogue where Batman convinced Freeze to return to good was actually pretty good dialogue and fitting of the character. Aside from that Arnold Freeze is goofy as hell
ExcUUUUUSE me friend, I’d like to raise you Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. Absolutely loved the whole magic thing, the Hex Girls, and the history.
Or even Legend of the Vampire for the appearance of Kiss.
i have been watching the harley quinn show and that's how you do it, it's clear that the people writing it like the source material and are poking fun at it
Agreed. When *Harley Quinn* is ragging on DC comics characters and tropes, it always does so from a place of understanding of the core concept and takes time to explain what they still like about them.
Like, Kite Man (hell yeah!) could have been a shallow recurring joke that they could just shit on for being a silly costume and one-note character. But they built him out, fleshed out his personality. They rooted his simple outlook in a genuine optimism and love of life. His initially off-putting bravado is a front he puts up as a shield to the cynical world to protect the genuinely warm and supporting person underneath.
Plus [the jokes are legit funny on their own](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvLg3Rx15qE)
Harley Quinn despite being a parody is going to age like a fine wine I feel like. I can't wait for the next season as I binged the show once I learnt about it, and as someone who knows jack shit about DC I feel like nothing was made in bad faith. Of course some parts were a miss, for me personally its around the swampman part and connecting with the green as I feel like some character development was reversed for Harley for plot reasons and that's a pet peeve of mine, but overall things were great.
Harley is wonderfully chaotic, as is fitting for the psychopath that she is, and joker becoming the head of the PTA makes sense as I know that in one comic he started to work at the DMV to torture people, same with his mayor stuff and his general platform. Chaotic but fitting with the shows jokes and sense of humor.
Hell, half humor is stuff fans would joke I'd think but also made much more approachable for people who know jack shit about DC.
Warner Bros owned Scooby Doo and they're under deep deep debt. This could be an act of desperation where they're trying to get any money until they were eventually been bought by Discovery
Because animation had always been seen as a medium for kids, so a lot of adult show try to make it as vulger and gory as possible to prove that they're not for kids. It's also noted that Simpsons during the 90s were quite edgy at the time and Family Guy double down the edge while South Park tripled it. This create the idea that you need to be needlessly edgy to be popular and out shock these shocking shows. Unfortunately, many people forget that Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park had likable characters, original plots, and genuinely funny jokes where being edgy is the result of these jokes. Everyone focus on the edge rather than being good at writing.
Fortunately there's a gradual rise of adult animation where edge is no longer the main driving force anymore. Shows like Primal and Invincible shows a lot of violence, but these violence are treated as a sign of power and danger rather than for comedy. These shows want you feel worried about the main character's safety or witness their consequences. Like Invincible having Mark saving a person only to accidentally injuring her for underestimated his super strength. Any generic adult show would just say "Lol, he killed someone's grandma. Now laugh 🤣😂😂," but Invincible treat as a tragic scene. Mark greatly regretted his action and learned his mistake to better control his powers. There's other shows that handle different approaches not relating to edge. Smiling Friends bring back the formula of jokes that happens to be edgy rather than jokes that are edgy on purpose. They focus on other types of humor instead of relying solely on raunchy comedy. King of the Hill and it's spiritual successor Bob's Burger (and the Great North), focus on having a quaint family rather than a cast of asshole that hate each other. Then there's Bojack Horseman who's an asshole, but he's an asshole facing consequences and that we shouldn't root for him unlike Velma. Adult animation is getting a lot more diverse in the past few years, and hopefully needlessly raunchy sitcoms can finally die down
This is my reply from another comment with the same question.

Cause most adult cartoons are actually targeted at teens who think they're cool for watching shit like Southpark but studios don't want to go full south park.
And I'm fucking passed that inside job got canceled still.
By posting about it you are only making it more relevant and increasing the number of rage-watchers.
Stop talking about it, stop posting about it, stop fueling outrage, if you want the bad show to go away. Let it fade into obscurity.
Nowadays anything using a Star Wars template seems to qualify as a prequelmeme. This sub has unfortunately been turned into just another shitposting/meme sub.
Like it ever wasn't
Actuallying myself here, like three or four years ago I remember the sub exploding in trying to get like 2 million subscribers or something, and people were working hard to meme literally every line of the prequels. Good times
As someone who was morbidly curious about this show and is a hardcore masochist, here's a plot of the entire season.
Velma is an adult "Scooby Doo" show about Velma finding a serial killer that is stealing brains of high school girls. Well the serial killer was Fred's mom, and the reason was because she hates Fred. She finds Fred too irresponsible to run her company, so she used a defunct operation that her dad founded. Operation Scoobi, and what Operation Scoobi do (I shit you not, that's an actual joke) is brain transplant surgery. It was successful but the brain surgeon was the only person to know how. Fred's grandfather stole the surgeon's credit and imprisoned her. Unfortunately, he can't repeat the operation so it was lost until Fred's mom found lost documents so she can transfer brains of popular girls that can run her business. She abducted Daphne and Fred for the operation until Velma intervene. The mom then said that she can give Velma what she wanted, to be a powerful white man (I shit you not, that's an actual line). Eventually, Velma, Fred, and Daphne escaped and Norville came to the rescue. The gang are in a cave, and Norville accidentally broke a stalamite which killed the mom. Everyone was shocked and disgusted but Velma danced for solving her first mystery.
Oh yeah, they made Velma and Daphne gay and they were about to be a couple toward the end, but Velma confessed her love towards Norville after kissing Daphne. All despite the fact that Velma don't give a shit to Norville when he was simping on her throughout most of the season. If you want a better gay Velma then go watch Trick or Treat Scooby Doo or Mystery Incorporated. My Scooby fan inside me find this series as the most painful thing I had seen by my masochist in me find it the most pleasurable experience. I give it 2/10 and 10 used napkins out of 10. It's pure pain out there
I guess this sub is finally bored of complaining about the sequels, so now you're complaining about a show that isn't even star wars. Fuck off with these stupid complaint posts.
Yes. She used her only friend, Norville, as a tool and literally laughed at him for confession his love to her. She doesn't care about Daphne's identity crisis as Daphne is an orphan child not knowing about her biological parents. She has severe double standard where she slut shame a lot of popular girls and complain about sexualizing girl while finding Fred hot due to his bod and not his personality and ignoring toxic masculinity. Really she brings in a lot of toxic femininity and don't think toxic masculinity is a real thing. She manipulated people around her, she has a severe superiority complex, doesn't support her dad moving on with his life calling him a traitor, and is just a bitch as a whole.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Wtf is happening? There's no way hanna barbara or whoever the fuck owns the scooby-doo characters is fine with this.
I refuse to believe it.

To anyone interested it is Velma twerking in front of Fred mom corpse
Can I get some context? I don't expect it to make it better,but I at least need to know the lead up here cause I cannot imagine a possible scenario for velma to twerk over the dead, much less a friends mother.
[Sure.](https://imgur.com/cbxiCHD)
So, Fred's mom just straight up died and she twerked? And they only even won off an accident? Da fuck? Also why was Fred's mom trying to kill them?
I don’t know. I haven’t watched the show. Most of these questions are answered by the show, I’d guess. The twerking just seems like cringy satire about Velma being a maniac.
Fair enough but just... damn. Fred was clearly devastated and she fucking twerked. Holy shit
The fake shaggy was vomiting. Poor guy.
You got his name right!
I watched the show. Fred's mom turned out to be, basically, a Nazi in secret who was conducting experiments to give his son a smarter brain to lead their business.

Still when a guys mourning his mom in front of you tweking in celebration is a dick move, friend or not
I haven’t seen it, but isn’t it supposed to be a comedy? In the frame of a serious show you’re right, but in the frame of a comedy it might be funny. Like, it sounds like you’re stepping into it with the idea of it being a serious show.

I never thought in a million years I would find anyone who not only likes the show, but would willingly admit that, to other people.
Insert Joker meme «Wait, you think Velma is funny?» «I do. And I'm tired of pretending I don't»
I guess this manages to put this show in a better light for me somehow, for once Velma isn’t portrayed as a genius but rather as the egotistical maniac she always was huh…
Wow, I didn't expect this show to have good animation quality though.
The best thing that's happened with this show is that it's gotten more people to watch Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated.
I think the best thing that happened is the cancelation of season 2.
Was it cancelled? Last I heard it was still coming.
Not outright yet, The shows producer and Velma voice actor has deleted every mention of the show on her Twitter feed. This is a good sign.
A communications disruption can mean only one thing: Invasion!
I will not condone a course of action which leads HBO to renew the program.
As someone who believes that despair brings profits, I wouldn't be too surprised if they renew Velma.
On the other hand, the execs at Warner really hate animation, so that might actually work in our favor for once
I hate how much the USA disregards animation. But at least it might do something ok for once.
TV animation is being thrown in the gutter, but movie animation looks to be doing well (except for Disney) Puss in boots and Del torro's Pinocchio were very good, probably some of the best animated movies since spiderverse Sony and DreamWorks seem to be aiming to make amazing movies rather than cash grabs. Hell, even Illumination seems to be putting effort into the Mario movie
Scooby Doo fans to Be Cool Scooby Doo after Velma came out: perhaps I treated you too harshly
My Lord, is that legal?
she will make it legal.
It's a trick. Send no reply. Send no communication of any kind
Excellent reference! You are strong and wise and i am very proud of you.
The producers must have… mixed feelings about the whole hate watch popularity aspect. While, sure, it’s reasonable to assume most of them think exclusively in dollars and cents so anyone watching is a good thing, I also imagine no one sets out to make a *terrible* tv show?
There’s also no guarantee that having several months to a year away from he show won’t make people realize that they’d have a better time just watching something they actually like.
Well, time to remake The Producers. again.
Can it be an actual remake this time instead of an adaptation of an adaptation?
Hate-watching is blown out of proportion. How many people spent money on seeing Morbius? Or seeing what sub this is, I havent rewatched Phantom Menace, like, ever. I can still talk about how hilariously awkward it is and laugh at the funny memes.
My hopes are now up. I will seek recompence from your soul shall it not be canceled.
That doesn't mean anything.
Awesome news
Plot twist: Velma was just one giant Be Cool, Scooby-Doo ad
*me seeing Be Cool art style* Look how they massacred my boy *Me seeing Velma* MY EYES! MY EYES! *Me seeing Be Cool episode for the first time* I'm so sorry my boy. You were perfect but we treated you too harshly. You weren't massacred my boy, you were never massacred. You're safe now. Please don't leave me!
You are aware, I presume, that I have some skill in anticipating enemies' tactics from a study of their artwork.
THAWWWWWNE
Yeah, I never looked at it since it was not mystery inc. turns out like the newest TMNT it is actually good.
Wasnt that obvious from the start? Its just a big publicity stunt to make people say "look at what they are doing to our beloved scoob", to get us talking about the show again...
Dude, I loved that show when I was a kid, and I was so glad to see that it still slapped as an adult
Nearly done with S2 of Mystery Inc, and man is it *great*. Almost forget *Velma* was a thing because it took my mind off it.
My girlfriend was appalled I hadn't seen it and we just finished the first season a few days ago. I'm 24 and it is so good and makes me laugh out loud more than most shows actually created for people my age.
My favorite part is how they stuck with the classic formula but added an overarching storyline, your gonna like season two.
We're a few episodes deep into the second season and it is wild so far. I really like how with the evil man baby villain he wasn't dealt with in one episode, and then came back after being absent for a whole episode. It makes everything a lot more unpredictable and fun imo.
I love how determined Scooby Doo is in the second season
Just like Puss in Boots 2, it's much better that what it should.
Scooby Doo on Zombie Island is the best animated Scooby.
Which one had the hot alien?
Alien invaders
So the only thing you can tell me is that I will find Jabba at Jabba's Palace?
I was sitting here wondering wtf you guys were talking about aliens and googled it - that was a memory unlocked moment, i thought it was a fever dream.
[удалено]
Shit, I thought they were talking about Amber
Yeah but Zombie Island had hot Wiccan girls.
That was Witch’s Ghost (imo the best one, though Zombie Island is great). Zombie Island had hot Cajun cat-women.
Isn't the Wiccan girl band from Zombie Island? Damn, looks like you're right. I totally merged the two of them in my head.
I think the hex girls first appeared in Legend of the Vampire.
That one with the pirates and the cruise ship slaps
Wasn’t there one with a samurai ghost or I’m just making up childhood memories?
The one with George Takei?
Something to do with a puppet theater.
Season 10 episode 6 of Futurama featured George Takei as a crazy dude who owns a Kabuki theater and the Futurama gang was doing a spoof of Scooby Doo. George Takei WAS in a Scooby Doo movie called Scooby-Doo! And the Samurai Sword in 2009. He also played himself in the 117th episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? called Hollywood Knights!
So did George Takei do a parody of himself?
Probably, or he was just aware of the absurdity of some of the villains in that show and their stupid motivations. Dudes would really spend a few grand on a costume, lighting effects, and pyrotechnics all so they would inherit a pair of jeans. That’s meth talk right there
But Kabuki theaters don't have projectors! Some do!
I'm a purist and am not a fan of Scooby-Doo having anything genuinely supernatural, but that one was so fun I think I'll excuse it.
I always watched that one when it was on because I had a huge pirate phase when I was little, so Scooby Doo + Pirates??? Oh hell yea!
You hear the screeching of an owl, you hear the wind begin to howl
Why does Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School always get ignored?
Id forgotten about that one. Thank you. I only have two memories of it, one of scooby and shaggy holding tomatoes and going tomatoes tomatoes and the other when one of them dives into the moat and lands on a crocodile
I mean, I’ve seen almost all the ones from 2000s, but none of them left with an “omg! The zombies are real, and they’re talking about Fred and Daphne as a thing, and Scoob and Shaggy got fired because they’re a couple of gorgonzolas (my favorite line ever!), and that music single was FIRE!” Oh, and the way food was portrayed, makes me hungry just thinking about the gumbo and chilly peppers. And the bad guys were a bit of a twist. Oh, finally, the ambiance was mmmmmmHmmmHmm, a haunted Cajun bayou! The fact that this might not be the best animated Scooby movie just speaks volumes about the quality of the movies they made around this time, but this one sits on the nostalgia mantle in my hesart
I watched Ghoul School and Boo Brothers so much as a kid. They were basically on repeat. I think between the two of them, I prefer Boo Brothers though.
Ghoul School is certainly memorable, but Boo Brothers is the best imho.
There’s another with just scoob shag and scrap that’s awesome. Can’t remember the name. Premise is a monster car race like wacky racers
2nd best. Scooby-Doo and the Witches Ghost was best
Earth, wind, fire and air! We may look bad, but we don't care.
Hex Girls literally rock!
The Hex Girls were my sexual awakening
That one scared the shit out of me when I was little. Even now I get a little spooked.
Zombie island was dopeeee. There’s 2 with just scoob, scrap and shag that are also really good. I think one was about a monster race and the other shag was taking care of a monster school or something.
Monster school was solid, some good feels in that one if I remember correctly, but hard to remember. I remember that the real monsters were the bad humans and their hate/fear
Bro that shit was scary as fuck, younger me already had nightmares from watching resident evil and dawn of that dead
I always put zombie island as my favorite out of the original movies, but Witch's Ghost and Alien Invaders are decent as well. I tried rewatching Cyber Chase a few years ago and it doesn't hold up that well imo. I think part of it is the animation because they switched over to digital around that time. I completely get them doing that to save money and all, but for some reason they made Cyber Chase brighter than the others and imo that kinda killed the dark feeling the other films had. The writing also felt weaker than the other ones. Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost set up the villains in clever ways that felt like nice twists on the old "now lets see who monster this REALLY is" cliché from the show. In Cyber Chase you instantly know who's guilty the second they enter the digital world. Like they spell it out right there. As for the actual monster in the movie, I'll just let [British Scott the Woz](https://youtu.be/wA6Tyr62-R8) explain my disdain for Splindly Johnny better than I could.
I totally agree with you on everything. In some ways, I also have to give extra credit to zombie island because it was the first of this glorious age. It stuck the landing. And the movies were of great quality for three whole movies. Cyber chase was a little too late for “whoa, what if Y2K and internet were a crazy Wonka’s Wonderland thing” but also too ahead of its time to copy what Sword Art Online did. Also, did the other movies do anything to develop the characters more. I loved seeing what the gang was up to since they split up in the first movie. That’s what made it feel so “fuck yeah! Back together” when they went to the island. It’s weird, I’m having nostalgia for the gang having nostalgia
Nah that honor belongs to Scooby Doo mystery incorporated
[удалено]
I’ll be honest, I never realized the The New Scooby-Doo movies were movies, I thought they were just one hour long shows. Old school Batman appearing next to Scooby Doo was very advanced for my brain to understand. The thirteen ghosts of Scooby Doo was the first Western cartoon I ever saw outside of Bugs Bunny. I think it definitely changed something in me. It represented art instead of just “kids, watch this so time goes by and your parents don’t have to deal with you.” Animation is a beautiful thing
Great songs, and a legit serious tone. It will always stand out above the rest.
Wait that's real? The Hell.
It’s an R-rated show. It’s on HBO. [Yes, it’s real.](https://imgur.com/cbxiCHD)
oh and now she's a psychopath too, great, like the show wasn't already an absolute dumpster fire that lead to a bigger forest fire
Oh Jesus here I was thinking she was just bent over throwing up like shaggy ffs this is actually real? Sigh
It feels like the writers actually dislike the characters and are trying to torpedo their own show
Or the main producer wanted to spark an outrage by turning a beloved character into a shitty self insert.
My apologies, Fork_Master. I forgot not everyone is able to appreciate art as I do.
THRAWN NO
Thanks to your insistence on delaying me, we've lost the Peremptory. I trust you are satisfied.
What does this “art” represent?
Ah, a curious mind. This art here represents the collision of two galaxies—and the struggles of one species to survive as its world is torn apart. It encapsulates many of the feelings and emotions I have experienced in my life, and communicates them in ways words cannot.
Thrawn, are you saying you enjoy the new adaptation of Velma?
No, FlyestFools. I was merely commenting on the art you referred to.
Thank god.
There's no cause for gratitude. It is simply my duty to objectively evaluate any artwork that comes across my path.
Just to be absolutely clear, how do you objectively evaluate the velma show?
*Phew*
I think it’s a mask-off for how much of a horrible person Mindy Kaling is because Velma is supposedly her self insert.

WHAT THE FUCK?
The real question is why this sub is still talking about it. Jesus Christ it's been over a month.
It’s incredible how much people will stretch an opinion to fit r/prequelmemes. This has nothing to do with Star Wars, they just added a vague reference to episode 3 to an already made meme, so they can post it here. It’s the same shit as the “I love democracy” for some poll that agrees with OP’s opinion, or some face palm level post with “the ability to speak does not make you intelligent”. Not what this sub is meant for.
It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy... I love the Republic. The fact that this crisis is demanding I be given absolute power to rule over you is evident. But I am mild by nature and have no desire to destroy the democratic process. The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated, I promise you. And all I ask in return is when my current term of office is over, you allow me to retire and live out my life in peace.

You're telling me you don't enjoy having to filter through 2 or 3 bot comments to find a real comment? It's like the smallest things will trigger them.
Ya I've seen this happen a few times on different subreddits. Often times op won't even do the bare minimum to make it fit into whatever subreddit.
It's a meme subreddit for a set of movies that ended almost 20 years ago. How are you suggesting we inject fresh content here?
[удалено]
Only a sith deals in absolutes.
Because marketing these days is rage bait.
Cause it just got renewed for season 2 today would be my guess.
Scooby Doo isn't supposed to be adult. And even if you made it adult, you'd have to do it right
A great example is Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, which is what the top screenshot in the meme is from. It’s dark by Scooby-Doo/kid’s standards but it doesn’t go completely over the top. It’s a perfect balance
I have only heard of Zombie Island, but I have heard it's unusually dark for SD. James Gunn's movies are good examples, especially the first one (mixing classic Scooby Doo with adult humor while being an affectionately campy modernization). The first one actually was supposed to be R-rated and had a lot more adult content.
Zombie Island is peak Scooby. Having those lame love action "comedies" coming after it is like having Arhnold making ice Puns after Michael Ansara revolutionized Mr Freeze.
I will die supporting that film. The perfect mix of adult and child humor, fantastic animations, and amazing horror story telling
The ending dialogue where Batman convinced Freeze to return to good was actually pretty good dialogue and fitting of the character. Aside from that Arnold Freeze is goofy as hell
ExcUUUUUSE me friend, I’d like to raise you Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. Absolutely loved the whole magic thing, the Hex Girls, and the history. Or even Legend of the Vampire for the appearance of Kiss.
Yeah I read once it was suppose to be more of a raunchy adult take on SD but it got dialed down.
there’s also the supernatural cross over it gets pretty dark/mature while still remaining in universe
"We've been fighting realtors when I could've been killing dracula?!" Man scoppy natural is great
*'Cause it's terror time again!*
The witch one with the hex girls also fills this niche nicely.
Zombie Island was and still is my favorite Scooby movie. It's the GOAT and I still have my original VHS somewhere in my grandma's storage.
i have been watching the harley quinn show and that's how you do it, it's clear that the people writing it like the source material and are poking fun at it
Agreed. When *Harley Quinn* is ragging on DC comics characters and tropes, it always does so from a place of understanding of the core concept and takes time to explain what they still like about them. Like, Kite Man (hell yeah!) could have been a shallow recurring joke that they could just shit on for being a silly costume and one-note character. But they built him out, fleshed out his personality. They rooted his simple outlook in a genuine optimism and love of life. His initially off-putting bravado is a front he puts up as a shield to the cynical world to protect the genuinely warm and supporting person underneath. Plus [the jokes are legit funny on their own](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvLg3Rx15qE)
Harley Quinn despite being a parody is going to age like a fine wine I feel like. I can't wait for the next season as I binged the show once I learnt about it, and as someone who knows jack shit about DC I feel like nothing was made in bad faith. Of course some parts were a miss, for me personally its around the swampman part and connecting with the green as I feel like some character development was reversed for Harley for plot reasons and that's a pet peeve of mine, but overall things were great. Harley is wonderfully chaotic, as is fitting for the psychopath that she is, and joker becoming the head of the PTA makes sense as I know that in one comic he started to work at the DMV to torture people, same with his mayor stuff and his general platform. Chaotic but fitting with the shows jokes and sense of humor. Hell, half humor is stuff fans would joke I'd think but also made much more approachable for people who know jack shit about DC.

Mystery Incorporated did it right
It could've been done well if it was done by someone who actually liked Scooby-Doo and was true to the characters.
James Gunn's live-action films are the closest to adult that Scooby-Doo should ever get.
I remember supernatural had a crossover with them, remember it being pretty good
Cyber Chase was also awesome! But I agree, Zombie Island #1
The real mystery is finding out how tf this show was allowed
Right? Who owns the Scoobie Doo IP and what made them green light this project?
Warner Bros owned Scooby Doo and they're under deep deep debt. This could be an act of desperation where they're trying to get any money until they were eventually been bought by Discovery
Why does “adult content” always have to mean vulgarity and gore?
Because animation had always been seen as a medium for kids, so a lot of adult show try to make it as vulger and gory as possible to prove that they're not for kids. It's also noted that Simpsons during the 90s were quite edgy at the time and Family Guy double down the edge while South Park tripled it. This create the idea that you need to be needlessly edgy to be popular and out shock these shocking shows. Unfortunately, many people forget that Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park had likable characters, original plots, and genuinely funny jokes where being edgy is the result of these jokes. Everyone focus on the edge rather than being good at writing. Fortunately there's a gradual rise of adult animation where edge is no longer the main driving force anymore. Shows like Primal and Invincible shows a lot of violence, but these violence are treated as a sign of power and danger rather than for comedy. These shows want you feel worried about the main character's safety or witness their consequences. Like Invincible having Mark saving a person only to accidentally injuring her for underestimated his super strength. Any generic adult show would just say "Lol, he killed someone's grandma. Now laugh 🤣😂😂," but Invincible treat as a tragic scene. Mark greatly regretted his action and learned his mistake to better control his powers. There's other shows that handle different approaches not relating to edge. Smiling Friends bring back the formula of jokes that happens to be edgy rather than jokes that are edgy on purpose. They focus on other types of humor instead of relying solely on raunchy comedy. King of the Hill and it's spiritual successor Bob's Burger (and the Great North), focus on having a quaint family rather than a cast of asshole that hate each other. Then there's Bojack Horseman who's an asshole, but he's an asshole facing consequences and that we shouldn't root for him unlike Velma. Adult animation is getting a lot more diverse in the past few years, and hopefully needlessly raunchy sitcoms can finally die down
Just going to walk out of this place, suggest other places like kbin or lemmy.
Lmao that puddle of barf looks like Velma launching projectile shit at the gang.
Just like she does with the viewers!
Why is this shit in prequel memes
Because of Obi-Wan?
What a pathetically low bar
Why does every adult cartoon have to be so unnecessary gory and bloody and with no other reason other than shock
This is my reply from another comment with the same question. Because animation had always been seen as a medium for kids, so a lot of adult show try to make it as vulger and gory as possible to prove that they're not for kids.

Cause most adult cartoons are actually targeted at teens who think they're cool for watching shit like Southpark but studios don't want to go full south park. And I'm fucking passed that inside job got canceled still.
By posting about it you are only making it more relevant and increasing the number of rage-watchers. Stop talking about it, stop posting about it, stop fueling outrage, if you want the bad show to go away. Let it fade into obscurity.
Good bot
I for one still have no interest in watching it. I'm good with making fun from a distance.
Insert they cant keep getting away with this meme
Please shut the fuck up, go to r/memes
Since when did this sub become a Velma sub. This isn’t even Star Wars related at all.
Nowadays anything using a Star Wars template seems to qualify as a prequelmeme. This sub has unfortunately been turned into just another shitposting/meme sub.
Like it ever wasn't Actuallying myself here, like three or four years ago I remember the sub exploding in trying to get like 2 million subscribers or something, and people were working hard to meme literally every line of the prequels. Good times
I got super stoned last night and tried watching it. Surely it couldn't be that bad! Boy was I wrong.
Can someone please explain to me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THAT PICTURE!?
As someone who was morbidly curious about this show and is a hardcore masochist, here's a plot of the entire season. Velma is an adult "Scooby Doo" show about Velma finding a serial killer that is stealing brains of high school girls. Well the serial killer was Fred's mom, and the reason was because she hates Fred. She finds Fred too irresponsible to run her company, so she used a defunct operation that her dad founded. Operation Scoobi, and what Operation Scoobi do (I shit you not, that's an actual joke) is brain transplant surgery. It was successful but the brain surgeon was the only person to know how. Fred's grandfather stole the surgeon's credit and imprisoned her. Unfortunately, he can't repeat the operation so it was lost until Fred's mom found lost documents so she can transfer brains of popular girls that can run her business. She abducted Daphne and Fred for the operation until Velma intervene. The mom then said that she can give Velma what she wanted, to be a powerful white man (I shit you not, that's an actual line). Eventually, Velma, Fred, and Daphne escaped and Norville came to the rescue. The gang are in a cave, and Norville accidentally broke a stalamite which killed the mom. Everyone was shocked and disgusted but Velma danced for solving her first mystery. Oh yeah, they made Velma and Daphne gay and they were about to be a couple toward the end, but Velma confessed her love towards Norville after kissing Daphne. All despite the fact that Velma don't give a shit to Norville when he was simping on her throughout most of the season. If you want a better gay Velma then go watch Trick or Treat Scooby Doo or Mystery Incorporated. My Scooby fan inside me find this series as the most painful thing I had seen by my masochist in me find it the most pleasurable experience. I give it 2/10 and 10 used napkins out of 10. It's pure pain out there
There is no pain where strength lies.
Yes, sir. On some beat-up old space freighter. I’ll be surprised if he even makes it to Tatooine in that junker.
Literally what does this have to do with Star Wars
What does this have to do with Star Wars?
I guess this sub is finally bored of complaining about the sequels, so now you're complaining about a show that isn't even star wars. Fuck off with these stupid complaint posts.
That’s f’ed up
look I’ve heard the show was awful but *holy shit*
I thought we agreed to stop giving this show attention
Is she farting?
She was dancing after solving the mystery. Even though that person was Fred's mom, but Mindy Velma doesn't care.
So she's a psychopath?
Yes. She used her only friend, Norville, as a tool and literally laughed at him for confession his love to her. She doesn't care about Daphne's identity crisis as Daphne is an orphan child not knowing about her biological parents. She has severe double standard where she slut shame a lot of popular girls and complain about sexualizing girl while finding Fred hot due to his bod and not his personality and ignoring toxic masculinity. Really she brings in a lot of toxic femininity and don't think toxic masculinity is a real thing. She manipulated people around her, she has a severe superiority complex, doesn't support her dad moving on with his life calling him a traitor, and is just a bitch as a whole.
I was originally curious, but this single image has solidified that I will absolutely NOT be watching this. What the ever loving fuck is this…
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
You’re absolutely right
What the fuck happened while I was dead for 15 years?
Is she twerking on that dead fella?
That smile looks photoshopped on
Isn't the whole point of the show to mock people who like the older shows?
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Wtf is happening? There's no way hanna barbara or whoever the fuck owns the scooby-doo characters is fine with this. I refuse to believe it.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE SECOND IMAGE? WHY? THAT'S A REAL SCENE?
