This feels like a big 50th anniversary release.

Honestly, this is a good year to be a Scooby Doo fan. Now all I need is a show with a darker tone and an awesome soundtrack with the genre being rock.

My wish list is simple.
1. Keep the KISS/13th Ghost Velma away from this film. Bring back the Velma who accepts the paranormal when it's literally snarling in her face, because if this girl is being clawed at by zombies and not showing even an ounce of fear because "they're clearly advanced animatronics being controlled with fiberoptic cables and wireless internet signals" I will flip my lid. Who cares if they're robots, they're still grabbing your ankle! SCREAM!
2. Actually care about continuity. If this is a sequel to Zombie Island, they better have watched that movie frame-by-frame 5 times over so that there are no inconsistencies. I don't care if it contradicts everything else in the franchise (well, I do) just don't contradict Zombie Island. The gang are adults, Daphne is a reporter and homeowner, Fred is her producer, Velma is a small business owner, and Shaggy and Scooby are bums. They survived for a full day and night on an island inhabited by ghosts, zombies and werecats.
3. Do NOT have Daphne and Fred in their teenage gear. I'd actually prefer a full redesign of the entire gang (keeping their signature colors, of course), but I'll settle for the purple reporter suit and the plain white shirt with a tool vest over it. Just ditch the orange ascot and the pink tights.
4. Actually have a decent reason for existing. The original left no loose ends, no cliffhangers, nothing. So for them to revisit Zombie Island, there had better be a really good reason besides 50th anniversary nostalgia.
5. Be GOOD.

I definitely want the Big 4 era outfits for Fred, Daphne and Velma back. Especially since Alien Invaders is the only time Velma ever got an actual outfit change that was significantly different other than that two second makeover in WNSD. Fred should have his white tool vest and pale blue shirt or his white sports coat and dark blue shirt with the general blue pants and brown shoes. Daphne could get either the Cyberchase version of the reporter suit with the blazer or the standard reporter suit, stick Velma with the Alien Invaders look and maybe do something 80's or 90's ish with Shaggy since he kind of likes to be retro...Neon, insane amounts of neon like WOF set levels of neon.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but it won’t be like that. Tim Sheridan was interviewed for A Podcast Named Scooby-Doo and he revealed that 13th Ghost and Zombie Island were the two remake/sequel projects they wanted to create this year but they kept the gang young and timeless I guess. You can listen yourself

I only remember he talking about Cot13G being set after Zombie Island. So, if somebody could transcript exactly what he said, I would be grateful

Turned it off after he said - and I rewinded that part twice! - that Curse Of 13th Ghost and Return To Zombie Island wouldn't be connected to any post-WAY incarnations, the gang would be like the WAY personalities, and Zombie Island was reduced to a WAY side adventure. Is he serious??? Is WB serious??? How are you creating a sequel to an incarnation you're ignoring? Are you kidding me??? I knew I had good reason to worry about RTZI after seeing Cot13G. I'm sure Tim Sheridan has been a quality writer on different projects and franchises, but this...is a no. There is a difference between cartoon logic and laziness, and this is the latter. The gang was still young and timeless even as mature adults in the original Zombie Island. How do you set not just a film but an arc conclusion when they're teens after a film where they reunited as adults. That. Makes. No. Sense. Somebody PM me when this AT&T restructuring includes a good overhaul of the writing team. (Apologies for my harshness. The only reason for my strong words is because we all know and have seen that they can do better.)

Fans need to get the idea of a cohesive Scooby continuity out of their heads. DC has tried to make a cohesive continuity for their characters and all it's gotten them is several convoluted universe reboots. Scooby-Doo was never meant to have a continuity. A bunch of writers don't need lose their jobs because some fans are in denial about this. And I don't care if I come off as rude here. Calling for a bunch of people to LOSE THEIR JOBS over meaningless continuity score-keeping is crossing the line and reeks of entitlement.

Well, this is kind of disappointing if not exactly surprising after 13th ghost. How come the powers that be seem so reticent to let the characters be like they were in prior incarnations when doing continuations of those incarnations? I don't ever expect or really want a clear, regular Scooby continuity, but I would expect and want that actual sequels share continuity with what they're a sequel to. Plus Zombie Island was one of their if not their most successful project, wouldn't they want it to be closer to the original film then?
I don't know, this pseudo-sequel thing just seems weird to me, and I don't understand the current direction of having the gang be exactly the same way as they've been in the past decade of DTV videos when different versions (like Zombie Island era, Mystery Inc, Apocalypse) have been so successful. Anyone have any insight on why they're taking this current stand on the franchise?

Okay fine. If that's what you meant, I'm sorry. However, it also means to take something apart so you can understand the confusion.

all this is horrible I was excited thinking that the next movie would be better than the disappointment of 13th ghost (that is a very good movie but we all know that it could have been much better) and now it seems that it will not even have the tone of the original.if it is not up to the original because they do it. They will dirty their good memories and make a senseless sequel that ignores the original and will surely be childish and nothing dark like the original that everyone loves.They should rest in peace the good movies and series and not spoil them by doing such bad sequels.they simply have to focus on creating new movies that have nothing to do with things from the past (if they are going to do so badly) they show the lack of ideas that seem to have to reuse old ideas because they do not occur to them new. and even though they have a base of such good old ideas, they do it badly. do not fool these two movies of 2019 do not seem to be a gift to the fans as we thought.I just hope that return to zombie island is good but every time I have less hope.
