I've yet to understand the hate for this show. This is supposed to be for adults, its not going to be like Scooby Doo of our childhoods. Pretty sure Velma has [spoiler]always been Bi, even if it wasn't discussed in the old cartoons[/spoiler]. I am invested in the story now and want to continue seeing where it will go.
EDIT: I did finish the show, despite it saying 80% and hope there is a 2nd Season!
Despite the hate wave, I actually like this!
It's far from perfect, but it's good fun and imaginative.
It's not perfect by any means, but I find it quite funny.
I am a huge Scooby-Doo fan. I watched this because I thought it was a Scooby-Doo show (it's not, btw).
But I won't let that anger color my review. My biggest complaint is that all the characters suck. No one is likable. Not a single character is worth getting excited about when they get a scene. The jokes are bad. It's not funny at all. I absolutely hate Velma in this. And it's not the good kind of hate where you're supposed to hate them. It just wasn't fun to watch. If I weren't a weirdo who couldn't leave things unfinished, I would have stopped watching after the first episode.
They've made Shaggy such a huge square who's entire thing is going on and on about how anti-drug he is - nothing he says or does is even remotely amusing, like not even once. They portray Fred as a whingey, spoiled, over-privileged man-baby with tiny genitalia, a fact which Velma repeats multiple times over the first two episodes. Is that the argument for the girls becoming gay or bi or whatever? Idk...but the show just leaves a bad taste in your mouth after sitting through it for a bit. I'd had enough of TV series preaching wokeness to me, I really didn't need that from cartoons too. If this is the future of adult cartoons then I'm tapping out of the genre as a whole. I was so psyched when I saw that Glenn Howerton and Russell Peters were going to be in this... I thought that meant that there was no way it would be some woke garbage with a clear agenda. But here we are.
I didn't realize Shaggy was the black guy until reading a review after watching. He was changed too much I think.
I gave this a chance and watched the entire 10 episodes. Horribly written, very cringe humour, [spoiler]Velma is a lesbian and then isn't a lesbian.[/spoiler] This show truly is horrendous.
It has nothing of Scooby Doo in it [including Scooby Doo himself!], except for the names of the characters. Race swap doesn't bother me at all, what I hate is they butchered the gang's personalities so much that the characters were barely likable. (The only one I truly liked was Shaggy, well, Norville). If it wasn't for Scooby Doo aspect, I think it'd be another mediocre worthy of 6 stars animated adult show of a Netflix kind, I took out 3 more stars for disgrasing Scooby Doo franchise.
It had a few jokes that made me laugh and the animation wasn't bad, but all the references and unlikeable characters were simply annoying.
