Velma (2023)

I'm giving this a really low score because of the brand. Scooby Doo is made for kids, but so adults can also enjoy it. It makes a promise that you are going to get a Scooby Doo film, show, whatever. And this has actual drugs not implied drugs. It has naked rears but done in a way that is inappropriately explicit for the brand. It has bad words. There is no Scooby They race swapped Mystery Inc. Two cockroaches have sex Fred has a tiny dong Daphne deals drugs The white guy is an idiot That is seriously brand damaging. But then they do even make parts of that the pro-race swapping woke check boxes fans are bad cancel culture people sound as ridiculous as they are. They do make fun of the fact that the people that would like a show like this killed comedy. And they do make fun of the everybody is a Nazi crowd, who are again the only people that would like this. So it does sort of push back against what it is in a meta and entertaining way. Some of it would work in a different show. But this is Scooby Doo, and at the end of the day what this is is the destructing of a franchise. Scooby Doo isn't intended to be this adult in spirit, and all the woke tropes make it predictable.
