Scooby-Doo was cut, there's a lot of race swapping, and basically it follows Velma who is an amazing girl-boss (/s) who solves all the mysteries, and everybody else is just kind of "around". There seems to be a lot of resentment of anyone who is wealthier, more successful, or popular. Fred is a punching bag for a lot of jokes, he's just a rich white boy who doesn't really know how to do anything.

Papa Meat (Hunter Hancock of MeatCanyon) has a review. It's pretty balanced, but even that's still negative, mainly rated high as it was because he liked the art. ๐Ÿ˜…

Apparently, despite a seemingly horrendous reception by the public, it has been renewed for a second season. ยฏ\(ยฐ_o)/ยฏ

Velma as a character was a lot of things, but she was mostly an insufferable, pathologically egotistical narcissist with hallucinatory delusions and severe mommy issues. Like, the show was horribly written, don't get me wrong, but let's not act like she was a Mary Sue.

I agree with your assessment, I maybe should have included an '/s' after amazing girl boss. That's the image she has of herself, that's how she carries herself. Like an insufferable, pathologically egotistical narcissist with hallucinatory delusions and severe mommy issues would do. ๐Ÿ™‚

I'll go ahead & add the /s, why not?

I didn't pick up on the sarcasm in your description. And I'm usually pretty good at that. Not sure if that's a flaw in my reading comprehension or if your intent just didn't carry in that sentence. Maybe a bit of both.

My intent didn't carry & I'm not known to be the best communicator. ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป

It's okay. Being a person is hard and communicating is a big part of being a person.
