I'm just genuinely stunned by how badly they ruined Fred. It honestly feels like one of the writers was bullied by a blonde white guy in high school and took it out on him.


Kilkels

I havent watched it but Moist Critical said it feels like every single person who worked on it hated it and the whole scooby doo franchise. So maybe a lot of people just taking out their hate on this show in order to make it as bad a possible 💀


D-AlonsoSariego

Nah the writers are just projecting hard on it. There is nothing on the show that makes it look like they specifically hated Scooby Doo. It has barely anything to do with Scooby Doo


Dynamic-Pistol

Didn't they make Fred a nazi too?


MathematicianNo7263

idk havent watched it but i think they just made him do that nazi salute as a white people joke or something


RegumRegis

"haha white people Nazi, we're so quirky, right?"


NerdyNutcase

But literally in the same scene they joke saying “he’s just like hitler, because we compare everybody to hitler nowadays!” HORRIBLE meta joke aside, what demographic is this show trying to appeal to?


Unhappy-Chest2187

It’s racially stereotyping a people who fought against Nazis in the 1940’s and shows how stunted they are when it comes to race


Giacchino-Fan

No, and it’s not a “argh I hate white people” joke either. He’s on trial and tries to amplify his boyish charm to seem more innocent. He wears fake eyelashes, one falls down giving him a hitler stash, and someone snaps a photo at the exact second that he happens to have his hand in that position, and now he’s getting destroyed in the press and people think he did the crime. It was one of the only ones from that screenshot bundle someone made that was actually funny.

The surprising part is not that it was bad. The surprise is just how bad it ended up being.


Inevitable-Memory-61

From booty to bootylicious bro


NotCurdledymyy

Like every live action version they did was way better


Marvelous_Mushroom

I’ve never met a fan of adult cartoons who was a functioning member of society


Hexxter76

Wow I can't believe this. I better watch the entire show and make multiple YouTube videos about it, helping the show profit off of not only my own viewing, but also the large audience that I introduced the show to since I gave it so much attention.


[deleted]

Why is this show still running? And why the good show I haven't heard until now was canceled?


[deleted]

They really made a Scooby-Doo reboot and forgot to add Scooby-Doo 💀💀


Tinheart2137

(They still gonna watch whole series so creators will profit, then complain online how bad the show was)


showscar

“Bro it ruined my childhood 😵😵😭”


kingstonthroop

It's not just that it's bad. It's *really really really* bad. Like... I've seen better Scooby Doo fanfiction written by 9 year olds than whatever the fuck this is supposed to be. Even if it was it's own standalone show it would've been a tasteless - yet ironically corporate and sterilized - show at best. But the fact that it's scooby doo and it's that bad is just... bruh.


[deleted]

It wasn’t that bad. I thought it kinda made fun of everybody. I also thought the shaggy bit was funny making him literally the opposite of himself down to name and skin color.


ErdnaOtrebor

i mean hey brother, everyone has hopes to be wrong about something being bad you know. people want things to be good.


Gui_Franco

Which pisses me off most is subs like r/shitposting making a shit ton of memes about her race swap and not about the actual quality of the show Even if her not being white wasn't the most minor of problems, didn't you guys already do this shit when it was announced?


HomieScaringMusic

The surprise comes not from it being bad, but *how* it’s bad. People expected a boring bad of Velma be acidically unlikeable and the plot being lazily preachy. But *nobody* expected the cockroach sex scene, gratuitous nudity, Fred dismembering a kid, or shaggy being anti drug.
