Some people don't consider SDMI to be separate, but you separate everything into its own group (someone else does this, too). It'd be a pain to maintain that on Scoobypedia. I'm glad I'm a bit more open minded than that. So you are the scoobypedia Twitter person I talk to? I'd agree. Not that how Sponge does it is wrong per say. It's just complicated regardless if you do what he does or not. Basically there is no universal continuity and canon that people would agree on to document on wiki. The creators are not alive anymore so it's not like they can answer for us. We can't ask them What do you consider the continuity? Sponge's way, others ways.. At the end of the day I think there is only one canon thing that you can say. In all the series, even though there's is debate in some. All 5 Main's love each other. They are friends forever. They have a bond. Now I've heard people say Velma is so cold to people in BCSD. I've heard people say in SDMI they don't feel a lot of love between the five. I disagree on both but I can see the opinion. But I think that's one universal thing in every Series, movie, special, DTV... The friendship. Yep, it's me. Joe Ruby and Ken Spears are still alive, although no disrepect to them, I'm not sure how much authority they have over what's canon or not. I mean, they took credit for giving Shaggy the real name of Norville when it was Tom Ruegger who did.

A few of the powers that be William Hanna and Joseph Barbera are dead right? They directed and Executive Produced the first series right? So basically Ruby, Spears, Hannah, and Barbera. But that is interesting. I should look more into it.

Some people don't consider SDMI to be separate... IIRC the writers explicitly said it was in a separate parallel universe/timeline from the other shown.

Until "Come Undone" aired and Mitch Watson started saying it was prequel (he should've worded it better). That's like trying to fit puzzle pieces together that don't match.

Saying SDMI is a prequel to WAY is like saying X-Men: Evolution is a prequel to X-Men: The Animated Series. It isn't.

You can fit a square peg into a round hole provided you have a big enough hammer.

And that's what some people are doing, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an origin of the gang, not a prequel. Technically, the ages are concurrent, maybe SDMI is even a little older because they've explicitly graduated and are heading to college, where as the ones in the DTVs are never truly established, therefore they are set in alternate universes.

The only possible connections I could agree with would be The All-New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show going into The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo or A Pup Named Scooby-Doo going into What's New Scooby-Doo or the last two live action movies going into the first two. But all three connections I mentioned are separate realities/timelines from each other.

Where Are You isn't exactly its own timeline, it's followed on by The New Scooby-Doo Movies, and then The Scooby-Doo Show. Each show is unto itself, for sure, but they're also connected. Personally, i don't watch the first episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies and think the last episode of Where Are You never happened, because to me it did. Just like whenever HB did a new Flintstones or Yogi (except for Yo, Yogi! because that conflicts too much for me), I also thought they were connected.

Yah, it's confusing. A first I was like eh but in that one film Daph was getting her driving license than it really puzzled me. This could have been connected to the What's New Scooby Doo? Film Universe but...

It's not even that they decided to retcon the gang. You have to think about how many different people are in charge of these different series'/movies. Each form of Scooby media has its own team of creative minds and they decide how they want things. The original team didn't have the high school aspect while the Mystery Inc team decided they wanted the gang to be in high school. Now the Be Cool team obviously doesn't think that's necessary. Like I said: it's hard for a franchise this big to have any kind of continuity because there are so many hands in the pot. Actually I think that one of the SDWAY episodes had a highschool dance of some sort.

If Velma is about 15 again does this mean She and Madelyn are twins and Velma is only the elder sister by the technicality of having been born first?
