#i had an HBO Max account once and once only for Infinity Train reasons

Listen I kind of hate adding my voice/opinion to the atrocity that is Velma but as far as I’m concerned the only legitimate “adult Scooby Doo”

(editing this to say that I mean this in the context of like, if we’re not allowed to consider the previous cartoons/Scooby movies “adult” for whatever reason, personally I think the cartoons and the live action movies are equally for adults as much as they are for kids)

worth any merit has always been The Cabin in the Woods.

Which was, for anyone who didn’t know, actually a really cool and interesting plot line about very close and loving college friends (a stereotypical jock who actually is a sociology major, a stereotypical popular girl who is a pre-med student, a nerdy/dorky football player, a super smart pothead with an extendable bong, and a secretly badasss shy girl)

They’re kind of like if all of the Scooby Gang members traits were put into 5 people (except Marty is a one to one for Shaggy tbh)

And they did a really cool thing either the trailer way back when it first came out where they made it seem like just another stereotypical teen slasher flick but then you watch it and realise it’s basically Scooby Doo meets SCP meets The Evil Dead. Sure, there’s still no talking dog, and sure horrible things happen to the characters but tbh they all have a more dignified existence than any of the characters in “Velma” not that that’s saying much tbh

Also it literally gave us this gif:

Which is a gif I imagine we will be seeing a lot of once the Velma show gets thrown in the trash or Matthew Lillard decides to use 0.1% of his power against the team behind it.

#velma show #the cabin in the woods #i have been a scooby fan since I could crawl #I’m literally surrounded by scooby stuff #i just feel like I needed to rant/vent about it #by the way I have only seen reviews from people on YouTube #people who are watching it via privacy no less #i am not about to sign up for HBO Max now or probably ever #i had an HBO Max account once and once only for Infinity Train reasons #and they fucking nerfed that so rip #I’m pagan partially due to Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost #i used to have scooby themed birthdays and sometimes just random scooby themed parties in general #I’m so tired of cash grab media destroying beloved IP for shock value #like I can only assume the reason this got greenlit is that the producers knew it would be incendiary #i can not fathom why else they’d agree to do a racist sexist bigoted version of Scooby Doo #the one and only good thing is I’ve found a lot of true scooby fans to follow in all of this
