HBO Max has confirmed that work is going forward on a new animated series called "Velma", based around the bespectacled, nerdy sleuth from the children's show, but with a twist.
In recent years, staff involved with the franchise have confirmed and embraced the news that Velma is gay. She has long been a LGBTQ+ icon, and after years of being underappreciated by the other members of Mystery Inc she is going to get the spotlight she deserves.
In the new series, Velma will be investigating more "mature" crimes than holographic monsters and costumed burglaries. A recent sneak peek from Warner Bros revealed Velma examining a corpse with it's brain removed, and visible brain matter scattered around the scene.
The producers have confirmed that there isn't any dog, and no van, but the human members will be making an appearance. No plot details have been released, but the series is expected to cover some of Velma's origins and back story, including the fact that she is now of South Asian descent. She is being voiced by Mindy Carling (The Office) who has stated that if a dog can solve crimes, then Velma CAN be brown.
So, just how adult are they going to go? Blood and gore definitely. Swearing? Probably. Sex and nudity, a-la Archer? Well, we will have to wait and see for that one.
Here's somebody else's take on the series.
Bang your own drum. Walk your own path. Live wildly. Love fiercely.
As you near the end, look back with no regrets.

I liked A Pup Named Scooby Doo the best.
I imagine this will be on par with Riverdale as far as adult content. Maybe more because it's hbomax.

I guess the splot with the disc kinda got solved when the gang found the heart of the jaguar and fought the entity. Would be great to know what happened to some of the minor characters of crystal cove.
I am currently watching Blue Seed and loving it.
Currently playing WoW Classic and Midnight Ghosthunter

I also like kpop and want to learn Korean if anyone has any recommendations

I haven't seen that clip or any of it at all so I'm purely guessing.

I mean she always gave off vibes she was part of the LGBTQ even in the original series cause her and Daphnie were always giving each other looks and dialogue. They have now just officially confirmed it in some adaptations.

Well in the original 70s cartoon Daphne always went with Fred lol.
I always was a fan of her though, she's definitely in my top 3 cartoon darlings after Betty Rubble and Wilma Flintstone lol.

Not the character, the series of the same name. It has a miserly 6% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and social media is seething with indignant comments about the sexualisation of minors, gore, poor humour and racialisation of the beloved characters.
"Red-haired Daphne – voiced by Constance Wu and East Asian in this telling – is reborn as a sexually aggressive mean girl (aged 15). Goodie two-shoes Fred (Glenn Howerton from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia) is a sexist, blue-blooded himbo whose biggest crime is to be white. Sam Richardson’s Shaggy – introduced by his “real” name of Norville – is an African-American broken man-child who has an unrequited crush on Velma." (See source below)

Prophetic words.
Despite all this, the show is the most watched HBO animated series ever, and has already been renewed for a second series.
I guess there really is no such think as bad publicity.
I'll reserve judgement until I get chance to watch it.

Meh, the original Fred was voiced by Frank Welker, who did almost everything back in the 70s/80s, everyone including me was in love with the original Daphne.
