It's ironic that I watched the independent pilot of "Mystery Incorporated" just last night, only to wake to this news 😅 I hope Netflix bought the rights to that project, or at the very least took notes

[@KyleWillLivingston]

I do hope it is the Mystery Incorporated show as well.

[@theboulder027]

I'll take just about anything that isn't Velma at this point.

[@Snowball87754]

I'm a little worried about it, but if it has the same energy as Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated when it comes to balancing both comedy, horror, dark, and not taking its self too seriously when it comes to the "teen drama" then I'm excited.

[@billymoore7182]

Scooby-Doo can be dark. On Zombie Island and Mystery Incorporated are too good examples. So I wouldn't mind it either

[@Snowball87754]

@@billymoore7182 Same, I'm just hoping they have Scooby-Doo talk in the show not just be a normal realistic dog. I want them to embrace the Cartooness of the show.

Riverdale, Sabrina, Addams Family, and Dead Boys do work well in live action. But, I wouldn't want to see another attempt at another live action Scooby. There is a fan film called "Coolville" that did the property justice. Also, there was the Scooby/Supernatural crossover that also made a mature Scooby cartoon. Plus, after the last few live action attempts with Cowboy Bebop and Fate: The Winx Sage failed and the success of One Piece and Avatar: TLAB, I'm worried this Scooby project will be dead.

It’s still crazy to me WB has their own streaming service and their most iconic characters aren’t getting shows on it.

[@Loganrock305]

They should keep it kid friendly tbh

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I think they have a chance at a successful show if they make it like the indie live action Scooby Doo, Mystery Incorporated they tried to start, but got stopped due to lack of funding during the pandemic. It was a good first episode where the mystery was about some of the gang's parents being murdered by a mysterious being. Also, Scooby was an actual real, non verbal dog, but as Shaggy was selling drugs at the school, I'm sure Scooby would eventually start talking, lol

[@KyleWillLivingston]

They didn't stop. They are still working on episode 2. They are just waiting for their director's schedule to open up.

​@@Noahmediacorner not exactly. That third scooby doo live action movie was supposed to be released in 2006, but it got scrapped. So We're getting a scooby doo live action series for Netflix.

[@frayhua9716]

This will be another mistake to have a reboot to a popular franchise ain't Velma bad enough.

[@nghstudios65]

I knew this fancast would come in handy. For Mystery Inc.: Alex Aiono as Fred Jones Zendaya as Daphne Blake Tom Holland as Norville "Shaggy" Rogers Naomi J. Ogawa as Velma Dinkley Xolo Maridueña as Franciso "Flim Flam" Rivera (from "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo") Haley Tju as Gina "Googie" Ward (from "Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf") Chiwetel Ejiofor as Vincent Van Ghoul (from "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo") and Frank Welker as Scooby Doo For the Hex Girls (if they plan to appear): Jenna Ortega as Thorn Halle Bailey as Luna Millie Bobby Brown as Dusk

[@trondsatre8615]

What this tells me is that WB still thinks a more adult Scooby-Doo is a good thing, despite the response to "Velma". And that they are in a hurry to develop a new concept like that to make people forget about "Velma".

[@angyvirtu3593]

If it's better than Velma and as good as the fan-made Mystery Incorporated, it could be good.

[@sebastianhale7424]

Because the first live-action "Scooby Doo" movie gave me nightmares, I don't think I'd want to see a live-action "Scooby Doo" series. I think I'll stick with the animated "Scooby Doo" TV shows I've watched on Teletoon and some of the direct-to-DVD "Scooby Doo" movies and the 2020 movie "SCOOB" as well.

@@zack6283 Time certianly does fly fast. So does this technically count as the 7th Live Action Scooby-Doo Project or 6 in a Half-ish?

[@mightyfilm]

I'm more skeptical about the genre format they're going to put these characters, but IF done correctly, there seems to be something there. At least, unlike the dreaded, thankfully dead PPG series, this can lend itself well to a young adult series (the gang are young adults, lest we forget). PPG would have stripped the show's original format of satire for a lame, dour, bitter grown up level of humor that would fail to resonate. And we'd DEFINITELY not see the same problem with Velma, an out of date Gen-X sense of reference humor that never shuts up and holds the concept back. Maybe the franchise needs an ACTUAL serious take. Every Scooby-Doo cartoon since the 80's has had some level of self-parody, be it subtle like "What's New" or far bolder with the humor aspects like "Pup" or "Be Cool." I'm just saying, if they want to do this RIGHT, we need them to watch the original Zombie Island movie and model it on that movie's tone.

[@ashnboys]

Are you gonna do the Garfield Cartoon Evolution in May as The Garfield Movie is coming that month? Also, can you do the Evolution of Looney Tunes' Hippety Hopper, The Legend Of Zelda's Link, and South Park?

[@Silverstar_]

Hippety Hopper didn't evolve. WB doesn't even reference the character anymore.

[@billymoore7182]

I'm intrigued by this live action series. As long as the show is like the cartoons like the 2002 and 2004 live action films were, I'm all for it. I don't really mind it having a 1 hour drama mix either, as long as it's executed right and is mixed with humor, a mystery, comedy, Drama Scooby-Doo live action series I'm all for.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

This is another way to keep the Scooby-Doo Franchise alive in a very great way, and I think everyone would believe me about it

As a big scooby doo fan im really looking forward to seeing what the creators of this new live action adaptation will come up with what i think would be cool to see in this show is i think the direction of a coming of age period drama with horror adventure set in the early 1970s set in the era in which scooby doo first released on tv 2nd i would love the tone to be similar to the 2010 mystery incorporated series and the direct to video film zombie island 3rd focus on the gangs group friendship dynamics and if there is to be a romance i think to stand out from previous iterations and mix things up they could do a shes all that style romance storyline with fred and velma together as i feel them to be the ones that are the most into solving mysteries so naturally it would be fitting for them to end up together and maybe have the gangs backstory be where its founded first by daphne and shaggy who are childhood friends along with scooby while fred and velma came into the picture a bit later
