You know the answer to this question. And why so many people that have not watched a single episode are talking about how horrible Velma is.

OR we have another case of having an established backstory, established characters, established formula from a show from the 60's that never really died out that was turned completely in the opposite direction from the franchise we all love.

Liberally blend in shit writing, shit characters, and fucking stupid as fucking fuck premise and you have this hot mess. Turn Fred the classic leader of the group into a narcissistic coward. Shaggy still have no clue WTF they are doing to him. Velma into a character we have a hard time liking, let alone cheering for. Daphine into the hot mean girl with no reason to be in the show... Then lose the one element that was in EVERY other show, Scooby.

Sure, it cant possibly be because it just fucking sucks. No Mr Tinfoil hat here thinks it is some sinister plot, instead of a pile of shit.

I am not going to buy that. It's just cover. No one gives a shit about Scooby Doo canon.

Thank you for proving my point with the inane everything should never change because the past was perfect post.

I don’t think 99.9 percent of people criticizing it have watched a single episode. So I don’t think anyone has any idea if it’s a good change or not. Just change.

It's blood in the water for the anti-woke types. There are/were big expectations for this show, so when it sucks pretty hard for the first 4 minutes of the first episode it somehow becomes a huge target for criticism. And there should be some criticism, because parts of the writing are atrocious. However, there's great stuff too, which people would know if they actually watched it. Which they didn't.
