As a 70's child Scooby Doo was part of my saturday morning cartoon ritual. I can't bring myself to even hate watch Velma. So if anyone has taken one for the team and seen it please do fill us in.

I could probaby make a better black comedy show with scooby doo characters that actually tries to be respectful to the source material.
Honestly, nothing will ever beat the Johnny Bravo crossover or live action movie in terms of "meta humor with respect still for the source."
Its honestly one of those series where every angle you'd want to try, has already been done and probably good enough too.
It's almost impossible to produce a reboot or homage that respects the source material now. Millennials aren't capable of writing one.
Most crossovers suck with the minor exceptions frequently including shit from the same canon.
I would like to see a crossover where the character is simply some guy who uses said character as an alias.
Extra: speaking of the live action Scooby-Doo movie, I actually hate how Smurfette from the live action Smurph film is a knockoff of the James Gunn version of Daphine.
The Johnny Bravo one worked because it was simply a regular Scooby Doo episode, but he was there. It poked fun at the original, but with a clear affection instead of "ARENT THEY SO DUMB" like the usual. I'd call it one of those rare exceptions.
Also, if you've seen the live action Smurf movies you have suffered more than any of us.
I saw the TV adverts for the live action Smurf film.
Seriously though, what James Gunn did occoured at a less politically sensitive time and that characterization decision for the smurf film was unoriginal and clearly politically motivated despite it occouring in 2011.
I used to also watch Josie and The Pussycats - and I have to say, the movie is under rated gem. I mean fucking Du jour!
