It gets better and better with every episode, Im so invested. Again, as a MASSIVE Scooby fan, I adore this take on the character and how they’re so fleshed out and deep with their own flaw.
I think people need to understand how to separate this from any other iteration of the character, just like you would separate those from the rest. You can’t criticize Velma for being snarky when she was a b1tch in Mystery Incorporated, Fred for being dumb when he was way less characterized in the version they made him stupid af with his obsession with traps and the Mystery Machine (seriously he was giving us NOTHING), Norville for being a simp when… yall really donmt remember how he would drool for Crystal in “Alien Invaders” or Mary Jane from the live-action movie??? or Daphne for being a badass queen B when she in the cinema live-actions she was always portrayed as wanting to feel superior and not show her vulnerabilities just as in this show. And I feel like Im allowed to say this because I CAN separate all those entities and yet still recognize the Mystery Inc I know damn well and love and accept that this is adult animation and Im supposed to take everything lightly. I suffer from panic attacks, do I really wanna cringe at how they portrayed them here? *expletive censored* no, it’s not realistic, it’s a joke and damn it if I’m not allowed to laugh at a joke about something that caused me pain them Id rather kms like wtf. Seriously yall took this over the top and crossed all sorts of boundaries. LIVE A LITTLE
Also, naked teens? You guys are YOU ACTUALLY FORREAL? It’s an adult A N I M A T E D show, I literally never saw anything wrong with it until everyone started sexualizing them by pointing that out on Twitter, literally. YOU are the problem, not the show. Reminder there are COUNTLESS of shows where teens are sexualized, remember that Riverdale starts when the kids are in high school, most likely freshman/sophomore since they get out in Season 5… yet they have sex, do drugs and way worse in that show. Big Mouth, let me not even begin (at least a lot of you hate that one too). Family Guy, like cmon, it’s all about the darkest of humor. And MANY MANY MANY MANY more. Teen Wolf, Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, like all sorts of *expletive censored* with buttnaked TEEN bodies yet yall focus your energy on an ANIMATED show? Pleaee you guys, PLEASE this is ridiculous.
Now, about this episode, much less pop culture references which I think were way too many in episode 2, in fact I just feel we’re in full throttle now, the mystery is evolving, Velma and Daphne fight their beliefs to know what’s going on with their feelings, and it’s hilarious. I love how they referenced danger prone Daphne in the funniest of ways, also Velma reading her journal and it’s a flop and she mic drops, I was dying. I LOOOOVE their relationship and can’t wait to seeing it evolve. Fred’s prison hijinks are a blast but I can’t wait to see him out and interact with the rest, especially Daphne. I knew they missed a chance by killing Krista off, she is way funnier than the rest of the populars but still willing to see what they have in store, Olive is clearly the loudest and can get funny when she wants. Wanda Sykes and Jane Lynch keep on stealing the show tho, they’re a force of nature as Daphne’s moms and I can’t get enough of them. Finally we get to see more of Norville’s parents and omg am I intrigued by that story line, I find it hilarious how Norville has anger issues and wants to become a therapist, also the carding thing was hilarious. AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT HALLUCINATE BY MISS DUA LIPA, YAAAAS. Btw that hallucination coming out of Diya’s file literally made me jump, Im obsessed how this show has it ALL. I can’t wait to watch it all and at the same time I really really really don’t want it to end. Also I laughed so *expletive censored* hard throughout the whole thing, this is the best episode so far.
Ps. velma’s cat taking Sophie’s prenatal pills had me choking and Daphne in a night gown saying “so many mysteries so little time” I died…
10/10 episode, we’re going strong baby
