I will never not be upset with Scooby-Doo and Shaggy for this. What the heck.
After acting like the jealous jerk Shaggy warned us he’d be, Scooby-Doo is now suddenly okay with getting snubbed. What the hell, dog!
Velma wanted to tell Scooby-Doo about their relationship for so long, and then when he does find out, Scooby-Doo acts like it’s cheating. Scooby knew full well what he was doing. I’ll never buy the “man’s best friend” angle people try to take when it comes to what happened with Velma.
Then Scooby and Velma both team up to pressure Shaggy with the ultimatum nonsense. Like, why are we pretending that Scooby wasn’t half the problem here. Velma learned not to try and change Shaggy, and she’s okay with it.
To top it off, now Shaggy isn’t worried about Scooby being jealous. Not ready for a gorl, my butt. And Scooby, now that he’s ACTUALLY JUSTIFIED, doesn’t act jealous despite Shaggy ignoring him for a total stranger. Huh?
I really appreciate how mature Velma is about this situation, but with Scooby, it’s an enigma. He only calmed down and tried to be friends with Velma again after he “won.” He didn’t learn not to be jealous. Hell, Velma acted the most mature (with the one exception of that distasteful graveyard scene that made no sense) during their tug of war.
Then when it ended, she was rightfully pissed while Scooby acts all innocent.
Meanwhile, Shaggy genuinely fawns over the supposed exchange student who is seemingly FRIENDS with Velma, IN FRONT OF Scooby. Dude.
Good for Velma’s character cause she’s totally over what happened and is their friend first and foremost. Bad for Shaggy and Scooby cause it acts like it wants to erase the conflict that made Velma and Shaggy break up, while trivializing Shaggy’s previous decision on the matter.
Velma is cruel, she constantly hit and yelled at him, tried to change his clothes, the way he talks, made fun of him, was mean to his dog, didn’t respect his boundaries, and then got pissy when he respectfully broke up with her after giving him an ultimatum. That’s abuse and manipulation.
First of all, Velma was mean because Scooby was mean. Don’t act like Scooby is innocent. He was aggressively a jerk and enforced the ultimatum on Shaggy as well. Velma being pissed after the subsequent break up is valid when Scooby actively went out of his way to be mean. Velma had already learned not to change Shaggy’s habits before Scooby found out about the relationship. She has a right to be upset. It’s not like she stopped caring about Scooby. She was just upset over the situation.
Secondly, when did Velma ever “hit” Shaggy? I can only think of one time she ever yelled at him and it was the stupid out of character prom episode when they wrote her like a toddler for a minute.
I think what’s really cool about episode 17 is, it’s a Saw reference. Where they have to get out of tough situations just like in the movie. Even when Fred and Daphne confess why they’re in the first place, and express their emotions. I always admire this show for paying homage both horror movies/tv shows, as well as the previous Scooby Doo shows. It’s honestly rare for a children show to do that, and do it so well. Wait until you guys watched the later episodes this season, plus the second one.
Wow! The whole escape room segments in the first episode, along with the music, reminds me so much of the Zero Escape games!! Also this is getting really really interesting.
Oh trust me, dear reactors. They go balls to the FREAKIN’ wall in this show; you are SO not prepared for where this goes. Also, just wanna say, love how much you guys are into the show, I’m so happy more and more people are looking into this amazing show.
In past versions of Fred, he simply constructed all these Rube Goldberg machines that he thought up himself using whatever was available to him. In this universe though, there’s apparently a whole ass fandom for trapping things to the point where they have names for all these contraptions and easy access to resources for them. This means that the time when Fred got a water tank with a live shark for a trap a few episodes back, that wasn’t him being over the top; It’s just a thing people do. That’s arguably scarier than any of these monsters.
Fred in this show I too pure to know what a fetish is. I don’t even think he knows what sex is. Fred probably thinks that to make a baby you throw a net in the air and hope you trap a stork. he just likes traps.
They did a crossover between Scooby Doo and Supernatural, but damn a Scooby Doo/Gravity Falls crossover would have been fucking great.

YEAAAAH HERE WE GO BOYS!!!
Geez Danny Darrow’s story is super sad actually
In past versions of Fred, he simply constructed all these Rube Goldberg machines that he thought up himself using whatever was available to him.

I’m telling you it’s a fetish! That’s a bondage convention!
Tbh daph might be into it

*community. I don’t know why I wrote convention
