      Why was 6 afraid of 7? It's a fairly common question, mostly because when people see 6 and 7 next to each other, it doesn't really make sense. 6 is large, muscled, and trained in multiple martial arts, while 7 is fairly average, physically, and short. However, 6's fear of 7 has its roots in childhood. See, 6 and 7 grew up together, and for a few years, they were best friends. But then 6 kissed 3, and they became childhood sweethearts. 7 secretly had feelings for 3, so 7 decided he needed to destroy 6 to win 3's affection. He started subtly, undermining 6 whenever possible with passive aggressive comments and compli-sults. But over time, things got much more insidious. 7 started messing with 6's performance in school, bringing down his grades and turning teachers against him. Even worse, 7 became great friends with 6's parents and slowly turned them against their own offspring. At night, 7 would sneak into 6's bedroom, and whisper depressing and hopeless things into his ears. Every time 3 was around, 7 would pants 6 and make fun of his genitalia, or try to body shame him in other ways. However, 3 was both smart and compassionate, and saw through 7's schemes, sticking with 6, trying to counter 7's psychological tear-down with compliments and friendship. Finally, 7 decided that he would never be able to win 3, so he drugged both 6 and 3, taking them to an abandoned cobbler's hut on the edge of town. There, he proceeded to torture and maim 3, forcing 6 to watch in horror, unable to do anything to save his sweetheart. 7 didn't kill 3, but instead, put her in a semi-vegetative state. 7 cleaned the scene of his prescence, then called the cops, having 6 blamed for 3's condition. 6 was sent to prison, believing 6 was guilty, 6's parents fell into a deep depression, eventually committing suicide over what they believed 6 had done. After serving 17 years of a 30 year sentence, and getting out on good behaviour, 6, now muscled and skilled as a fighter, thought he might get revenge on 7. But when he finally tracked down 7, he found out that 7 had installed a micro-bomb into 3's body, and should he be killed, the bomb would automatically go off and kill 3 as well. And though she was still in a mostly fugue state, 6 couldn't bring himself to hurt her any further, and decided to try and move on with his life. However, being an ex-con, it was difficult for him to get a job. 6 finally found employment at a diner, which 7 then bought, and proceeded to again undermine and toy with 6 at every turn. 6 tried to find employment elsewhere, but 7 contacted any potential employer and soured them against 6. 6 finally realized that no matter what he did, 7 was going to try and ruin his life, and he resigned himself to living as a broken, lonely man, never able to stand up to the depraved, amoral 7.

    Mindy saying that "Velma did all the work and never got the credit for it" proves that she doesn't understand Scooby-Doo. The whole point is that they are a TEAM and each of them an invaluable part of solving each mystery. They're also a family. They love each other. I always loved that different people from different social groups and backgrounds could come together and be the best of friends. I loathe what the writers did not only with each character, but how they treated each other.
    I really loathe this show so, so much, and it's a blessing in disguise that they didn't touch the dog.

    What's wild is how Fred wasn't a jock, a bully, or an idiot in the original show and most of the spinoffs. He was an artsy intellectual and an all-around nice person. He's the one who solved the mysteries in many episodes. It was a running gag for Velma to be a brainiac and be happy when Fred knew what she was talking about and expanded upon it.
    In fact, Velma losing her glasses and bumbling about was a common setup for Fred doing the heavy lifting to solve the case and rescue everybody himself.
    For heck's sake, the guy came up with all the traps that caught the villains. The amount of engineering marvel Rube Goldberg machines he put together were insane.
    Fred was creative and wordly. Some might argue he was often proven smarter than Velma in episodes. What Velma had was book smarts, where she would recognize obscure clues that normal people would miss and bring them to the team's attention... but even Daphne would do this quite often with her different culture about her. Recognizing things like fabrics, or things abnormal for high society, came up a lot. So many of the mysteries were about money, and Daphne often was a valuable reference for fashion or culture.
    Let's not even get into how Daphne was the sweetest, most honest, and kindest person in the franchise, and they made her a bully drug dealer...
    Those three of the team in particular pulled their weight and complimented each other. Dumbing Fred and Daphne down to a stupid jock and naïve mean girl is so outside of character that it's insulting to the source material.

But then they decided to cut 3 members(Fred, Daphne & Velma) from the team which tanked his popularity because he really can't replace them & it rub the fans the wrong way + his flaws are more noticeable since he is the center now, make no mistake the creators made him the real protag not Shaggy & Scooby: he find the clues, he antagonise the villains, he even set traps, every episode has him but not all episode have Scooby & Shaggy(they were really thinking about replacing Scooby & Shaggy)

Why not make the origin story of the Scooby gang about four teens trying to solve separate mysteries by themselves, only to keep hitting dead ends. Then only by working together as a team do they solve their mysteries, and continue to solve more?

      Right? I made the exact same comment under another video about Velma. But yea for someone who claims to relate to Velma, she doesn’t show it at ALL. Velma is a bit sarcastic and extremely intelligent, with a kind heart and the brains behind the gang, but this Velma is whiny, annoying and is more stupid and idiotic than intelligent. I mean she doesn’t even focus on the mystery, she makes a bunch of random presumptions of whom the murder is, and has no disregard of other people’s feelings, outright using them in order to get her way. I mean seriously she destroyed her own eyesight wearing those glasses, constantly shames people on race and ethnicity, and what’s worse is that she gets the clues to the murder from her friends. And while that doesn’t sound bad, keep in mind she is meant to be super intelligent. She’s supposed to figure out these clues herself yet it’s her friends who do the clue searching for her. Basically she’s a terrible Velma and I’m glad Scooby decapitated her in that Avocado Animation channel

      Pretty? But the original Velma wasn't pretty; she was pale, short, plump, had freckles and wore her hair in a strange way. That's part of her charm; she's a girl who is neither classically pretty or 'untraditionally' pretty. Looks didn't matter at all with her because she was the smart one, not the pretty one. If anything, it was actually more admirable than what Kaling says because she (Kaling) is perpetuating the idea that women _have_ to be pretty in some way or another in order to have worth, and you can't get much more 'pro-patriarchy' than that. Not to mention the ahead-of-its-time representation of girls who weren't conventionally attractive; something that was virtually unheard of is sixties media.

Fred could be there on an athlete scholarship but his true passion be engenieering, Daphne could be from a rich rich family but wants to work hard for herself so she enrolls under a fake name, and shaggy and scoob could run a frat house that has scoob as a mascot so him being there is okay or he could be a support dog. And of course college is the perfect setting for murder!
    This show could have been something cool, something special, but Mindy marysues everything she touches.

      You could also have Velma assuming things about the characters and then *surprise surprise* THEY ARE NOT THAT.
      Like let her think at first that Daphne is just a popular, pretty girl who takes advantage of her image to get things the "easy way", and then reveal to Velma (and the audience) that actually Daphne is actively making things harder for herself by not taking advantage of her last name.
      Have her think that Fred is just another rich boy, who believes he is above everything and everyone and who has a secure future by inheriting his parents money, after that show her that Fred's family is actually broke/in debt (if they wanted to add SO BAD a misogynist dumb white-male character, make Fred's dad exactly that which could lead to him creating his family's debt, which could lead to Fred actually being afraid of becoming just like him). Then make Fred open up to Velma (or the whole crew) about him being pressured to keep up appearences because of his family, how he is in college thanks to his scholarship, and his passion/skill in engenieering.
      Lastly have Velma just assuming that Shaggy is a pipsqueak with no ambition who is going to waste his college years getting high, but either a. make it a facade, and make HIM the one who has been investigating the mysterious murders around camp or b. make it his way to deal with some kind of tragic backstory or insecurity.
      Of course, still all that characters should have flaws of their own (you could have them ALL assuming bad things about each other from the get go and then being forced to work together), but make them actually grow and work on them.
      Welp, I can just hope that some talented true scooby fan out there creates something that actually honors the og gang.

It was a spin off for the newer generation of kids who didn't experience Teen Titans (But they made teen titans go more for modern day kids like gen alpha who depend on fart jokes.) However, Velma is an adult animated series, so it can't be for the newer gen of kids, it's for people of age who grew up on watching Scooby Doo. So when she changes most of the show, it just looks bad and no one likes it.

    Ironically, an 'adult' version of Scooby-Doo where the story actually is about the gang all dodging the draft for various reasons and subsequently forming the team and stumbling into mysteries while dealing with non-romanticized aspects of growing up in the 60s could actually be good. I mean if they want potentially hard-hitting and divisive storylines, it's a rich period of history to work in. These writers could never handle it with the skill it would need, though.

      I will forever stand by this. Both the original series and the couple of later iterations I watched felt like they catered to adults more than this BS. Shaggy was so obviously a stoner, Velma and Daphne did have some attraction at times, and the humour was always spot on. That’s why they still make us laugh. The original premise would still hold strong today, no “modernisation” whatsoever necessary. It could help explore many of the themes Velma attempted to, especially concerning LGBT+ history. I can’t help but feel we have been robbed.

      You cannot, I repeat, CANNOT, have a female character character both be a “out of the ordinary” weird girl, and ALSO have her be a feminist icon! Because, in the words of a cartoon character.
      “Anytime someone calls attention to the breaking of gender roles, it undermines the concept of gender equality by implying that this is an exception and not the status quo.”.
      It’s similar here. You can’t have a “fish outta water” female character who’s “Not like those other girls” and also make her a feminist icon because you imply that this character is an exception to the rule and not the norm.

      Speaking as someone whose sight got worse after my brother and wanted glasses so bad when he first got his, I stole his glasses sometimes (he didn't need them all the time then). Wearing someone else's glasses is so off putting. It gives you a headache after an hour (if you last that long). That said, yes, technically wearing the wrong prescription of glasses can damage your eyes... but usually it's when your prescription isn't strong enough so your eyes are straining and getting stressed. But the amount of damage is usually mild and sometimes even reversible because it can sometimes just be your eyes too strained causing the issue.

In other sectors similar rich people are different but in arts and cinema since most of these people start there with more liberal leaning ideals, hollywood turns into a bunch of self-centered liberal asshats. Give anyone with that amount of pull and money and success and they will have to try to curb their own god complex eventually. Since most of the world sees the liberal and left leaning hollywood they think that every left wing must be this kind of narcissist self centered assholes. But the reality in the street is very different. We leftists are not this one kind of asshole, we are all our own special kind of unique assholes.

    Constance Wu degrading Daphne’s character by saying everyone only saw her as “the hot one” shows that she never actually watched the show. Daphne was a badass. Even in the beginning when she was a horribly underdeveloped character she was still getting in clever quips from time to time about their situation. And in later installments she perfectly walked the line between hyperfemininity and her more “masculine traits”. A perfect example is in the Fast and the Wormious. The mystery machine breaks down and Daphne fixes it with nothing but the items she has in her purse! Like how could anyone says she just the hot girl.

I have severe social anxiety so I barely socialize cause if I do I’m afraid I’ll have a panic attack. And the best way I know to help myself when I have a panic attack is to be alone and let myself calm down. Luckily I have always had one of my parents around while having a panic attack but if I don’t i know that it is very unlikely that someone will let me be alone while I am having a panic attack, which again is the only way I know how to stop them. Is scared one day I’ll have a panic attack without my family around and that I won’t be able to find a place to be alone and that I will end up having a heart attack or something idk. Puss showed it perfectly. A million thoughts a second flying through me head, running away from everyone, hyperventilating, etc etc and in this she just sees creepy stuff until she laughs???

    When you mentioned the Shaggy “alpha beta male” stuff I just thought of how funny it would be if a classic Shaggy were confronted with an Andrew Tate guy.
    Like imagine some self defined alpha chasing Shaggy around all day, trying to convince him that, since he is a skinny single guy, he must be miserable, only to fall on deaf ears, because this skinny single guy is the most content person in existence.
    And while the Tate guy is holding a lecture on how feminism is making men unhappy, he just making the most awesome sandwich tower in history, not paying a moments worth of attention, because as long as he has his dog, friends and dinner, nothing in the world could ruin his day

      Omg that could be expanded in a movie. The Tate guy being a side character that gets treated as suspect immediately for the monster due to how agressively antagonistic they are at the start. Only to not be the monster and gets genuinely offended that Daphne and Velma later discredit him as a suspect for being too spineless to actually commit to the act.
      Maybe, depending on the film time, the tate gut comes around to the idea that happiness doesn't stem from a certain way and apologizes for being an ass the whole time.
      Damn I want this realized now.

      the problem is really two fold, and both are the fault of what is frankly incompetent writing at a shockingly basic level
      You can have an annoying main character and make it work. A really good example of his is the American 'The Office', where the main character was an annoying, oblivious twit most of the time. The key there being 'most of the time', because the show also made a point of showing you he was a good guy at heart.... just annoying and oblivious
      You can also go the complete opposite direction, like the cast of 'always sunny in philedelphia', all of them being irredeemable scumbags. But that only works because in the end they are the butt of the joke, everyone treats them like scumbags so you feel fine laughing AT them
      Then there's Velma, who's too much of both in all the wrong ways. She's an insufferable, oblivious scumbag.... that the show expects you to believe everyone wants to bang and is in fact the victim at every turn... because self insert....
      yeah, that's the kind of bad idea any functional adult shouldn't need to have pointed out to them. This is the kind of character you both have no reason to like nor the satisfaction of seeing them get what they deserve

      I don't recall the name exactly, but I have a VHS of the first Scooby Doo, where the gang sit around and talk about their previous adventures, and I remember the bits of background they added especially for Daphne being the rich one with a nice place with along with the help of her dad.

      Heck, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue's whole plot was based on how rich Shaggy 's family is.

      It's wild when you think about it. Keep in mind she is an Indian woman who got away scot-free for sexual assault, who made the worst tv show of all time and was rewarded with a second season rather than being cancelled and/or fired, who constantly puts incredibly sexist and racist statements in said show and came under zero fire for it, who still manages to have defenders in spite of everything. Keep all of that in mind and then realize this show's main talking point is how only straight white men are allowed to get away with crime, being bad at their jobs, and being sexist racists.

      @@Bongalized MOST women? I am HORRIFIED by her actions. I would say she is in the minority of women (or people in general for that matter) who would pull some crap like that! Women absolutely can be predators! "Predator" is a brain/personality issue NOT a GENDER issue. I am a woman and would NEVER do something like that. I am disgusted. SHE is disgusting. I don't look at men and woman as HIVE minds though. Everyone regardless of race, gender, or religion is an individual and I feel should be judged on their CHARACTER and not some group they were born into or choose to associate with. There are a few exceptions to that (such as the triple K group).
