Velma and Daphne are getting a prequel flick where they're high school best friends and investigators

>Scooby Doo without Scooby Doo

weren't they already high school age?

Scooby Doo has been minimizing the amount of Scooby Doo more and more since What's New, this is just the logic conclusion of that.

why?

>welma and daphne
>scooby doo

Sounds pretty cute. I'd watch it.

Scooby's usually the worst part, and I say that as someone who likes him. No reason part of the gang can't make for an interesting show without him.

more like scooby-literally who?

Because YAAASS

It's very easy to get away with it, too, since Shaggy can essentially fill every role he does.

would have been more fun with shaggy and fred (with the trap fetish)

I hope there’s lewdness.

How much chemistry to Shaggy and Fred have with just themselves?

>mystery inc
>minimizing Scooby

negro what

Yeah. I think they're just adults in What's New and all of the films.

None of the later live-action films have been good.

because cis white males ruining my strong female shows

they've got several decades of "velma is a lesbian" memes to tap into.

>The Virgin Fred
>The Chadggy

Absolutely none. I think all of the gang can mesh pretty well except for Shaggy and Fred. Hopefully the next series changes that.

...

I always cared more about the human characters than I did about Scooby anyway.

He was important, but he definitely felt like the least important of the main 5, even with his role in the myth arc.

>gizmodo

I didn't much like Mystery Inc. and I do know that's some bananas stuff about why Scooby can talk in that he's a descendant from alien gods or some shit, but out of all the episodes I watched, he was only there to get in the way of Shaggy and Velma's bad romance.

Sounds cool

my god how desperate can hollywood get? how long before its total collapse?

I can't wait to JACK OFF

Hollywood is so fucking embarrassing. Everyone is a rapist or a talentless hack

it gets better

What?

I wonder what spins they'll put on the characters' personalities. They definitely won't be able to carry a show with just the stock Daphne and Velma personas in the absence of the rest of the group.

Hold on, it's live-action? Gross. I retract my optimism.

...

>Sarah Jeffery
So Daphne is going to be half-black?

The Shipper Faggots are gonna eat this shit up too.

I can see the comments & Tumblr & Deviant art now.

I hope we get /u/ material outta this

That means you've outgrown this cartoon. Watch Rick & Morty.

Though Cartoon Network Asian Velma was adorable.

this sounds shitty, but at the same time it could be nice to get a spinoff that doesn't focus on Scooby and Shaggy

they broke up and Velma ends up with her lesbian clone after they rewrite history

Sarah Gilman

She doesn't look like a Velma.

Just a bit pugly

is it ironic a lesbian is referred to and defined by hot dogs?

Soon enough.

Just gotta get one or two more to tip it all over.

That sounds legitimately awful.

Scooby doo matters
I mean the dog is lovable even if he is sort of annoying

Another Redhead killed for a Negro!

Of all the characters, Daphne is the one who felt the most like she didn't belong. And that's not a bad thing, it was just a part of her character, she just always seemed to me to be the pretty one who was just there because she was tagging along with Fred. Fred wants to solve mysteries because he's an overall good person who just wants to help people and he's a natural leader of the group. Velma is the main driving force however that consistently got them sucked into other people's problems, she wanted to solve mysteries because she was a book nerd now living out her fantasies. Shaggy and Scooby were more like the mascots of the group and there pretty much for comedic relief and were kinda the muscle of the group who would throw themselves into danger (willingly or accidentally) move the plot along.

But Daphne solving mysteries with Velma? That don't make no sense. I just don't see the connection other than that they're both girls. I don't really see what storytelling potential is there other than the weak subtext of "GURLPOWA" woch is hardly ever actual *subtext* in these kind of things is it? Didn't they learn from Ghostbusters?

Racebending is as easy as swapping a few letters if you know what I mean.

>Didn't they learn from Ghostbusters?

Bet we'll get the same kinda defense on those one too.

Folks will ask "How can this be a Scooby Doo movie without Scooby and Shaggy?"

And they'll just get shouted down for being misogynistic haters of women.

It's like poetry.

IIRC, when they were trying to flesh out the gang a little more, around the 80s I think, it was established that Daphne wanted to be a reporter, Fred wanted to be an inventor and Velma wanted to be a novelist.

Scooby's Gravestone when?

Clearly Daphne loves detective work as much as the others, she just has more than one facet of her personality. It's that hard to piece together?

...

>not a lesbian porno

Anybody else remember those shorts that were just Daphne and Shaggy and Scooby and Scrappy? That made even less sense...

...

...

Yea the recent films have really scaled back on any intelligence for Daph.

There'll be some adult jokes and implied subtext on there I'm sure. They won't be able help themselves.

I think they are adults in be cool.

Why is Fred passed out on a table? Is he drunk or something?

Make it like pic related or Daria in terms of soundtrack and tone, introduce the rest of the group as it goes along, end with them getting a puppy.

That sounds interesti- *live action*
Never mind.

He spent a day and night rebuilding Undertaker's car.

So is Fred a mechanical genius or something in these now? I could get behind that.

Should have been Katherine McNamara as Daphne

Fuck this.

racist

Over the years his character has become a very tech savy guy who likes to build actual convoluted traps for the monsters. the joke being that it rarely actually works how it was intended.

Hahhaha

It's been a thing for a while now.

It was always stupid to include a talking dog instead a normal dog in the cartoon.

>in other news WB has announced they plan to lose more money than the combined GDP of every nation on earth before the merger that probably won't happen

Is that where Hot Dog Water came from? I missed a couple episodes and saw her in the title and never returned.

They're on to us!

>You're the type fans love to see get slammed
She's right you know

Wonder if they'll keep with the character traits of Daphne being full on neurotic and Velma sort of a snarky bitch.

Are they EVA pilots?

>They won't be able help themselves.
Eriters are not very good at restraining themselves at all

Yeah sure why not.

Since when? During Mystery Inc he was this messiah that was the only thing that could stop the apocalypse.

>role playing on a Chinese paper mache imageboard

Are they trying to do a Scooby Doo cinematic universe?

So cartoons should be just like real life huh? No need for them to be colorful or imaginative or full of fantasy at all?

No lesbians no buy

Didn't What's New or some other adaptation joke about this? I recall someone describing a scene where the gang splits up and they both go together which leads to them awkwardly finding out they have nothing in common.

Aren't they high school now?

I'm allergic to such prequels, but with trademark removed, it sounds like something I'd be interested in.

From what I can tell, they were intended to be teens in the original show.

That's fucking stupid. It wouldn't be crossing over anything, just splitting up one property and stitching it back together.

You see what I mean? Bunch kf pathetic chodes.

I'd love to see Velma get slammed...

But Daphne is fucking useless.

Fucking christ I hate feminist so much.

She can be the muscle.

She'd probably be a cheerleader, which by cartoon logic should make her super strong and agile.

this movie leads to more /d/ images of Daphne and Velma
I’m okay with it.
>inb4 shadman

So is there anything Shaggy's particularly good at, other than making monster sandwiches? Also besides kicking the shit out of anyone who fucks with him when he isn't afraid of shit anymore
