Scooby could talk without sounding comical if the show had something about supernatural for real, there was already a Scooby series with real supernatural stuff and it was really good, so you can make it work, it could all start because of Scooby and the gang would try to investigate how this happened while mysteries unfold, maybe he was a normal dog but out of nowhere started talking or maybe he is in fact a supernatural being that was found by them, in one way or another what happens to Scooby shows the depth of the main mystery they will have to solve...

A small suggestion with Shaggy and Scooby redesigns, maybe you could have Scooby be a Diabetes service dog that alerts Shaggy when his blood sugar is low. That can explain why Shaggy always has snacks around and is looking for something to eat in the middle of an investigation. Also, the specialized scent training that Dibettes dogs go through would make Scooby's crime sniffer abilities more natural, of course, Scooby could also just happen to be a retired Police dog who was trained as a service dog after retirement.

Like, Velma never found time for all of the classes in her schedule, Daphne is really into fitness and environmentalism so she bikes or takes public transit, Shaggy couldn’t stay sober enough to even get his temporary permit (or more likely because of his blindness), or something like that.

Parasites gonna parasite. Aside from just being creatively bankrupt people who can't make anything of their own, a big part of it is simply the power trip of taking away something that someone else loves, especially if they can rationalize it by stealing from groups they hate. This is why you see so much vitriol toward comic fans, movie fans, gamers, etc... These are easy targets for demonization in our current society, allowing them to get their bully flex and feel righteous while doing it because they're totally owning The Bad People. And of course it also makes it easier to dismiss all criticism of their shite work, because obviously it's just the toxic crybaby fandom failing to appreciate their genius.

I can just tell that this version of the gang would be having some extremely nice moments of friendship between each other. These designs are both so passionate and creative but also extremely cute (guess it helps that your art style is very adorable). And yes, people that like each other is better than having a gang of people who just want to stab each other because, guess what, WE LIKE HAPPY!

I love the changes you made to shaggy and scooby. It gives them a reason to be there, IMO. Scoob can find clues and point them out/get the same scent from a common person. Which makes him a remarkable asset. Shaggy can translate scoob's behaviour and lil' borks to the level that the others think they can read eachother's mind, which makes him a great help to have. I'd give him a talent or wit so he isn't basically just Scoob's translator, though. Something along the lines of science enthusiasm, allowing him to recognise compounds mixed together... So, here's my pitch: A mysterious disappearance and fire has occured and Daphne is covering it real time for her followers. She's so deep in her headspace that she kinda loses track of the bigger picture. But Fred joins up with her and makes her enjoy a good cup of coffee/tea, clearing her mind. With her mind cleared and him caught up, they decide to talk to Velma and see if there are some legal reasons this isn't broadly talked about. Velma discusses that she doesn't know the in's and out's of the case, and the group go out to the place where it happened. Velma can get some better insight there, Daphne can vlog the thing to show her followers what the devestation brought, and Fred keeps them standing in a sad and tough environment. They try to find something, but with no luck, until Shaggy and Scoob show up. Scoob heard people mucking about in a weird building so decided to come up with Shaggy to see what was going on. Shaggy voices the question Scooby seems to have, and the rest explain what's going on. Shaggy then asks Scooby if he can find something special, and after some doggo-sniffin', leads him to it. It ends up being a burnt out can of spray paint, which makes no sense to the team, until Shaggy explains that it contains flammable driving gasses that, when mixed with certain chemicals can make Napalm. Now with clues in hand, hand-waving from the local authorities and a sense of obligation to find person X, the team heads up and tries understand why somebody would essentially firebomb a random house. Que rest of the season.

I like how you changed their races (and in Scoob's case, breed, lol) without making them stereotypical or racist. I think that unless their race is important to their story, as long as you keep the personality and key design aspects of a character, "racebending" works wonders when it comes to visual interest in an ensemble and diversifying the cast. I also love what you did with Shaggy, diversity in terms of a character's ability matters just as much as their race!

@blueflare3848

I'm personally not a fan of race swapping (or gender swapping). Now hear me out, but whenever it's done in movies and TV shows it just feels like an incredibly lazy attempt at representation. A lot of the time they change the personality of the character and the worst case scenario is when this new version falls into harmful stereotypes pertaining to that particular race. Furthermore, it doesn't feel like the minority group they're trying to represent can truly "claim" the character. If you have a character that has had a very specific appearance for decades and suddenly change their look, people are still going to associate them with the first design. That's what the character has been known as for years. I think representation should be done with original characters. It's far more effective. Take Miles Morales, for example. He's Spider-Man, but he isn't just Black Peter Parker. He's his own character with his own personality. _That's_ what makes him compelling.

She mentioned this in the pretty little liars by the book she did, the changed the race of the 1 character where her race matters in one context (her parents being a bit racist bc she’s friends with one of the only poc in town), they could have changed the race of any of the other girls and it was an odd choice that they chose Emily (iirc that’s her name) to race swap. Race swapping is *fine* if the cast is predominately one race (typically white, especially in western media), it’s not out of place (typically a little more tricky if it’s historical), and the characters race that they’re changing won’t have an impact on their character. Like with the live action little mermaid, Ariel’s race doesn’t matter, she’s a fictional creature. Now a character like Tiana, from what I remember, her race *does* play a role, same with Pocahontas. It’s just a matter of knowing if it’s appropriate or not.

Both find each other and become partners in blind? Can have all kinds of shenanigans of them trying to get their seeing aids back. I love your redesigns. Shaggy and Scooby especially stood out to me. Probably cause they were always my faves growing up. (I'm sure you've had like 100 comments confirming this, but just in case...Shaggy's real name was almost always Norville)

The fact that you were able to create such interesting redesigns that are so much better than the people who were literally given (probably) months and were paid to do it is astonishing. Tho I’ve heard the Velma show was originally supposed to be a parody of riverdale but then had to force it into the scooby doo ip

All of the Scooby-Doo characters have roots in 1950s teen archetypes. Yes, 1950s. They were based on characters from a 50s sitcom called The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, with Fred supposed to be Dobie himself, Shaggy being based on Maynard G. Krebs, Dobie's beatnik bestie (hippies being the late 60s version of beatniks), and Velma being based on Zelda Gilroy, the smart and somewhat nerdy girl in Dobie's class. Intelligent people were not as looked down on in the 50s as they were in, say, the 80s, so Zelda is just a little dorky. Interestingly, Zelda tried to capture Dobie's love interest, much like Velma does to Fred on the Kaling show (but jot in the mainline Scooby-Doo continuity).

She nodded at the sight of the video and the thumbnail, a picture of the missing person she had talked about. Satisfied that her latest piece of media would gather it’s first views better without her hovering, she stood and grabbed her bag, slinging it over her shoulder and adjusting it as she hurried out of the door.

Fr, she actually makes the characters likable unlike the Velma show which makes em insult each other every 2 seconds.

One of the most understated yet beloved quality of the Gang is how they are all extremely different in personality, interests, and looks yet they are one of the truest friend groups I've ever seen. They are so accepting and supportive of each other, there is never a question of one feeling like the odd man (or woman) out, no fears of being from different social circles, no worries of being judged for being different. That's because the gang are all genuine friends, they would never even entertain any thoughts of petty differences between each other. This dynamic os something fans unknowingly took for granted yet it is a core component of the Scooby Doo cast. Fans never questioned how these vastly different people got along because their friendship and trust in each other was so genuine. In other shows, fans might question such a friendship but not Scooby Doo as here it was an integral if under-appreciated aspect of every Scooby Doo incarnation. So when Velma suddenly created divisions between the gang on the basis of different personalities, interests, looks, and social statuses, it broke the unspoken rule of the Gang's dynamic. Velma even goes further than creating mere division, it actively makes the Gang antagonist, aggressive, and hateful of each other. I think that is a major reason why fans are so repulsed by this newest incarnation, because it fundamentally misunderstands and misrepresents that integral quality which the Gang have had for 60+ years: that understated yet true, genuine friendship.

I would definitely watch your version, not even as a Scooby doo spin off but as a series on its own. Im actually kind of sad its not a real show :( great job!!

Okay, Scooby being a service dog is the BEST idea I’ve ever heard! That would be such a great modern take, as well as a good explanation for why Scooby is allowed to go everywhere with him! As for Velma, I absolutely adore the idea of her becoming a lawyer! It would really suit her, but I think her flaw would be the speaking aspect as she is more of the awkward type but in the show we could see her progressing and becoming more confrontational and vocal! Daphne being a jack of all trades podcast girl is the best. I feel like she’s the kind of girl who doesn’t have it fully figured out yet so she’s trying just a lil bit of everything! Fashion, writing, public speaking? And the idea of she and Fred being high school sweethearts who are going to the same college is just so adorable to me because that definitely suits them. Fred would have to be some kind of engineer or something though, and have a full ride thanks to his football scholarship because he doesn’t come from money like his darling Daphne. And shaggy seems like the artistic type, maybe he got a ride on an artists scholarship or something similar? OO or maybe he wants to direct films but due to his vision impairment he no longer can?

Based on Fred's various knowledge in arts as I recall, and his obsession with nets, I think something like archeology or history could be a choice for Fred. I like the idea of Shaggy being partially blind, and his obsession with food, so maybe he is studying culinary arts???

Maybe Shaggy's partial blindness could be the reason why he's always scared, since he literally cant See what's happening. And Scooby is scared because he's just trained to guide Shaggy, not to be agressive. But like, they still go out of their way to protect each other.

Your redesign of Shaggy's my favorite I think, it'd make sense why he needs the dog around and why he's a bit more dramatically scared/stubborn about splitting up and going to somewhere potentially unsafe, but totally able to pull it off! :D .. I forced myself to watch Velma, having grown up mostly on the older scooby-doo shows and animated movies. One good thing about this awful thing existing is how people FIXED it and showed some love.

It adds to the darker tone that the show is trying to create too because I don’t think a lot of kids shows delve into anxiety/panic attacks/mental health in general

@@moonieistired7263 Yesss!!!! Such a great idea

I love this redesign, though I haven't watched the new velma show! your character designs are so cute and i love them! your version seems so much more inclusive and the story sounds so much cooler as well, tysm for making this video!

As someone with a cardiac alert service dog, I think creating Scooby as a service dog is brilliant. One thing I would change is what type of service dog he is. Service dogs who are used to alert to medical issues are trained specifically to use their nose. For example, my service dog is trained to smell the scents my body produces from my heart rate and react accordingly to keep me safe. Maybe having Scooby be some sort of medical alert dog would fit a bit better. He can use his already trained nose to help the gang find things. Especially since many medical alert service dogs are already trained to help their handler find certain things/people.

I always imagined the gang's college majors during the 90s movies Velma - English Lit major (her love of books) Daphne - Media Major (her love of journalism) Fred - Engineering major (his love of building traps) Shaggy - Philosophy or art major (he is rather hippy-ish and i think he'd vibe with getting high and having Philosophical adventures or doing art)

I can picture Shaggy starting out as a more serious major because his parents wanted him to, but takes Philosophy fot a Gen Ed and never looking back.

Ooo mine is very similar! My version of them is: Velma- Lit major OR forensic science Daphne- Industrial design Fred- Engineering Shaggy- College dropout, but has his life together with work and hobbies

Mine's also very similar! Velma: biomedical/forensics major Daphne: fashion/creative writing Fred: engineering Shaggy: catering/food tech (he did make scooby snacks after all)

Literally- and it could be a stand in for ‘just because someone doesn’t look disabled, doesn’t mean they are-‘

Idk why but the part where you talked about what choices you would make with Scooby and shaggy kinda made me cry. I geuss the idea of it just feels really sweet and charming.

I love this!!! I need this to be a show right now! I also love how much representation you included in your designs without making their entire character revolve around it. especially loved the service dog idea I don't see a lot of handicapped representation in media, so it's a nice inclusion that honestly makes a lot of sense in my opinion.

I wish you were in that board room bc the concepts you gave them along with the storyline??? Incredible. Honestly hope we get an adaptation with the same idea one day!

I totally agree. This is how you make a serious take on Scooby-Doo, not whatever they thought they were doing with Velma. I've seen a lot of people critiquing the show and creating their own pitches, and this one is my favorite by far!

@@negligible_realitydidn’t they do that with mystery incorporated?

i think a fun way to translate fred’s love of traps / his van would be to make him an engineering major or something in that vain which also makes him being a himbo pretty ironic. and then him and daphne could maybe just come from the same high school (private school if you wanna keep their rich background) and she uses him for testing out male fashion (to still justify the similar fashion sense).

@@broblerone413 the minoring / double majoring idea is really good i never thought of that! the club would also be great for getting them together - i wouldn’t know what club would be a common interest for them but that wouldn’t be too hard to figure out i don’t think

I love the plotline you came up with for your version of Scooby Doo. I would absolutely watch that. It would work so well.

I quite like the idea of fred being a jock who is good at sports but only because his rich father wants him to be an athlete when really he’s just a nerd who wants to be a fashion designer like daphne. It’s a way of connecting Fred and Daphne and throughout the history of the show fred has always gone against traditional masculine norms so I think that could really lean into the idea by setting him up in a traditional masculine way then throughout the series breaking down this masculine facade.

This! THIS!!! THIS is what Velma should be. Mature, realistic yet respectful to the source material. I love those redesign and description. And kudo on Fred being Gentle Giant (as I'm a Gentle Giant too.). I just love it! I could imagine all the classic mysteries in more realistic way. 20/10!

I love your take with Daphne facing the real world problems of crime solving, especially in the internet world. Her role would have also been great criticism towards how the internet's obsession of criminal cases can overlook the suffering of victims and their families and even frame/ruin innocent people's lives just to say they've "solved" the case (example being Tiktok detectives).

Being an adult isn't just SEX. It's crazy how being more mature always translates to sex and it's so upsetting because there's more to life than that. I'd love to see a real adult Scooby Doo

Your designs are so cute. I appreciate that you considered their original personalities and modernized them.

Lav immediately fixed one of the biggest problems without even changing the plot by making them not minors-- you know, for a show that's 75% about sex

"This show is full of hate" that is the best descriptor of this nasty reboot. Thank you for your reimagined version of the gang, I would watch your version! 💗

your concept is absolutely adorable, and scooby as a service dog is actually genius!! ; u ; (I kinda picture that he'd also be emotional support to shaggy since I think he definitely has some kind of anxiety problem, but I won't go too far into personal headcanons here, heh) I would totally watch a show like this instead of what was actually made (bleh)

OH god i want to watch this version of the show so bad I really like your daphne especially! I feel like you added a lot without contradicting how she's writen in other shows. And I like her being the force that really pulls them into mysteries, out of empathy and a need to not let these people be hurt or killed or kidnapped with no one even trying to help. I think it plays off of how people like true crime for entertainment, which is fine and I like it for entertainment, but sometimes don't care much about the actual lives of these people, whereas your daphne is both interested in true crime and cares about the people. The only scooby doo ive watched a significant amount of is Mystery Inc but some of the scenes that really stuck in my head were of daphne trying to explain to her parents why she loved/cared about solving mysteries so much and I like it being her passion that binds things together I have heard shaggy being called norville i think,,, once or twice by his parents in Mystery Inc? but youre right it's. Barely existent Shaggy being popular and well liked and not even noticing is so in character also service dog scoob!!
