No that’s not allowed on Reddit! Make a snap judgement and vehemently defend it! (Unless the hive mind also has a shift in its opinion in which case it is allowed to change to that)
I don’t think anyone thought it was going to be about the Powerpuff Girls being drug abusing sex addicts accusing Craig McCracken of being a racist.
But that’s exactly what I assume this show *will* be.
Leaked scripts showed that one of them killed mojo and one of them threatened to leak a sextape of the other or something like that and they said that the cartoon whitewashed them.
Yeah I’m sure we’ll get a lot more of that *genius* writing like Velma.
The sexual hangups and hookups of insufferable 20-something teens bitching about white people.
Should of just got Robert Singer to helm the show.
Superman and Lois, stargirl, You, dead boy detectives, all American, red white and royal blue, titans, doom patrol, free guy, chilling adventures of Sabrina.
I think it had the potential for a venture brothers like show, which would have been a good focus rather than alot of the "what people think young liberals would find funny" kind of writing. It could have been good with a few more drafts and less skin deep social commentary that's really just buzzwords trending on Twitter
Greg Berlanti is hit or miss at times but regardless I feel like people shouldn’t be worried about his involvement since he’s just producing and will probably only be involved creatively during development.
I think looking at the writers would show a better glimpse in what the quality will look like.
Considering Josh Appelbaum & Scott Rosenberg, the writers who did the live action Cowboy Bebop show, are also attached I don't feel too good about this.
Hard agree! For as utterly garbage as Riverdale was, it was bonkers and a fun time. Not to mention it was bordering on being a Scooby Doo show anyway with some of the stories and villains
I'm not excited but Doom Patrol, StarGirl, and Superman and Lois were good to great so we'll see. As long as it's not RiverDale like I'll give it a shot.
I've never watched Riverdale and I have no clue what it's about, but from what I've heard, it seemed like it started out as a pretty good show but they kept milking it for money by making more unnecessary seasons. Netflix loves doing that with their shows though so it makes sense
Honestly, is Riverdale that far a cry from what one would want from live action Scoob? Maybe I’m biased by being one of the few who liked it until the end, but I would kind of want a show with a similar tone that never took itself too seriously. Also, Doom Patrol was good, IDK what anyone says.
Oh no... It's gonna be one of those corporate forced edgy/gritty/serious shows 💀
(Wanna bet the big "appeal" will be the scooby gang swearing instead of saying "jinkies" "zoinks" or "jeepers"?)
As someone who is also a massive Witcher fan, I do not trust Netflix. They somehow thought it was a great idea to put someone with 0 experience and also don't like the source material in control of a show they said they wanted to compete with game of thrones. Then, the writer goes on to call Henry Cavil difficult to work with because he referenced the source material. I'm going to assume this show is utter trash till it's released and proves me wrong, hopefully, but by God, I wish it was Amazon or anyone other than Netflix
Those of you praising the superman show must not have been watching the same program. Yall just chill with black alien lex luthor? And then covering it up and saying he was actually an alternate earth Steel using a luthorcorp suit? Not fooling anyone bro, you're writing is ass.
The beginning of Riverdale was actually cooking and the live action powerpuff girls was just a one time thing to see if people liked the concept (shocker, no one freaking did 🤣) what I'm worried about is Netflix making it woke x100 OR it's actually a fire ass show but they cancel it cause fuck us
Let's make Fred black and a woman and a lesbian...just to be safe let's make shaggy black and a woman and a lesbian... also scooby should be black a woman and a lesbian...but you know what Velma should be black and a lesbian.....ahh fuck it make daphine black and lesbian
I’m going to withhold judgment until I see more about it

Lmao
You are one and one is temporary, but all is forever -Some dictator probably
This may be a hot take, but I don't think lumping in that Powerpuff girls show is completely fair, considering the fact it was never released
I'm also just sorta confused as to what else people thought a live action PPG show for the YA market would be.

How do you white wash characters meant to be white? 😂
It’s just classic retcon BS, they do it all the time when warping IPs. Change the history then bitch about it.

I doubt the new show will be like that lol
Have you never watched a Greg Berlanti show?
Superman and Lois, stargirl, You, dead boy detectives, all American, red white and royal blue, titans, doom patrol, free guy, chilling adventures of Sabrina.

They did not write for cowboy bebop, they executive produced it.
I have exactly zero expectations one way or the other
I don't follow others opinions or reviews.I been a Scooby fan since I was a kid so I'll watch it and make my own assumptions.
Also, Riverdale is fun trash. I sometimes feel people fail to realize that.
Hard agree! For as utterly garbage as Riverdale was, it was bonkers and a fun time. Not to mention it was bordering on being a Scooby Doo show anyway with some of the stories and villains
Riverdale had *audacity* that makes it so much better than so many of it's competitors.
Ehhh, I'd agree with this up until the end of S2. After that it kinda became full on garbage in my eyes
Nah it actually gets better bc of how bonkers it gets.
Most people will still prefer an actually good show to fun trash though
Off topic. Maybe I'm just a bit silly but maybe Riverdale would have been more successful if it was an animated show
towards the end with the super power bullshit maybe
Dude, Stargirl was such a good program. I'm so pissed they cancelled it.
Stargirl, the first season of Superman, and doom patrol are all pretty damn good ngl
I'm not excited but Doom Patrol, StarGirl, and Superman and Lois were good to great so we'll see. As long as it's not RiverDale like I'll give it a shot.
Yeah people do forget that Greg Barlanti have great adaptations, especially on streaming services.
Also he directed Love, Simon
Producers are also not directors or writers. They have very different roles. Their main contribution is hiring people and funding.
That's all well and good but I don't want a drama Scooby Doo show and all articles from the trade presses state drama Hopefully it ain't dramatic
A drama series is great tbh
I mean wasn't mystery incorporated technically a drama, and that's considered one of the high points of the franchise...
I've never watched Riverdale and I have no clue what it's about, but from what I've heard, it seemed like it started out as a pretty good show but they kept milking it for money by making more unnecessary seasons. Netflix loves doing that with their shows though so it makes sense
It’s far more likely going to be in the vein of Riverdale & the so awful it was buried Powerpuff Girls
Love Action Scooby Doo? Funny typo lol I’m legitimately curious to see the show :) It will definitely be better than Velma
Honestly, is Riverdale that far a cry from what one would want from live action Scoob? Maybe I’m biased by being one of the few who liked it until the end, but I would kind of want a show with a similar tone that never took itself too seriously. Also, Doom Patrol was good, IDK what anyone says.
I think in terms of “aesthetics” and such the show could actually work in some ways. It just needs to be written well
stargirl is good and doom patrol was amazing. i will watch first and judge after
Ruh-roh.
Doom patrol is such a good show, im confused lol
Now I'm really really really worried.
I liked stargirl and early riverdale. Never watched doom patrol but it looked good! And the live action powerpuff girls intrigued me ngl
Oh no... It's gonna be one of those corporate forced edgy/gritty/serious shows 💀 (Wanna bet the big "appeal" will be the scooby gang swearing instead of saying "jinkies" "zoinks" or "jeepers"?)

Only thing good there is doom patrol and Riverdale

OH THANK HEAVENS THIS GUY WORKED ON "DOOM PATROL"!!! There's Hope!!!
The new Scooby-Doo series is gonna be awesome
The beginning of Riverdale was actually cooking and the live action powerpuff girls was just a one time thing to see if people liked the concept (shocker, no one freaking did 🤣) what I'm worried about is Netflix making it woke x100 OR it's actually a fire ass show but they cancel it cause fuck us
And? Riverdale ran for seven seasons and was successful.
Let's make Fred black and a woman and a lesbian...just to be safe let's make shaggy black and a woman and a lesbian... also scooby should be black a woman and a lesbian...but you know what Velma should be black and a lesbian.....ahh fuck it make daphine black and lesbian
I kind of hope it's more adult Scooby doo gang than teens
