Velma... again (just my opinion)
I really hope the writers understand what we’re trying to say here about the show and why all the backlash is happening.
It’s about the legacy of SCOOBY FRICKING DOO, the way yes the original show/franchise/cartoon had some issues, but overall it was actually a very free space and loving of all the characters and their distinct personalities, especially considering the time it came out. (the non animated first movie did a good job of highlighting some of the character flaws, imo - not the best job, but these writers could’ve helped that)
The true fans knew that daphne isn’t dumb, stupid or one-dimensional
We knew Velma was sharp, self aware, and a loving personality
We knew shaggy was the adorable sweetheart who bumbles around sometimes not knowing what he’s doing, but knew he loved scoob and his gang
We knew Fred (honestly I never liked Fred, he has quite a few issues but not of mean/cold hearted ness just some ignorance and arrogance) cared about the team and prided himself on being there for his gang, and did always look out for all of them.
And most of all, we knew scooby and we loved him always.
This show… forgets all of that and fails to realise the impact the show had to so many people
Encouraging people to be confident like Daphne’s fashion sense (and showed she could be insecure about other things- mystery Inc)0
Encouraging people to be smart like Velma, to me she always inspired that no matter who I’m friends with, I can be true to myself and that even not being the center of attention (tho she did deserve it) doesn’t matter if my friends accept and love me as I am
The show stood for so much more than just funny mysteries solved by a wonky gang, while also remaining to be the funny mysteries solved by a wonky gang.
