Can anyone pinpoint the exact moment in scooby doo's history when everyone decided velma was the beautiful and sexy dame of the group?? was it the movie's casting that changed everything? or was she already considered "the hot one" before that
>>151820006The second movie where they put her in latex
>>151820006As modern men regressed to infants, they began to see themselves as inadequate for Daphne. Thankfully Velma, the obtainable chubby loser nerd, was right there. They immediately began sexualizing her, and here we are today.
>>151820006There was never a "hot one" in regards of Velma and Daphne, that's if anything is the modern invention that isn't supported by the cartoons.
>>151820034Yeah she was so gross in first movie.
>>151820006>>151820043She had her moments. She had a chance to show off her surprisingly decent physique in 'A Tiki Scare is No Fair' all the way back in the first show.
>>151820043what did daphne bring to the table other than being the hot preppy girl of the group? she had nothing else iirc, that was her role
>>151820090she has glasses, she's movie-ugly. Come on, Anon
>>151820006Serious Answer: I always figured it was a pendulum reaction sort of thing. Like if Daphne = conventionally attractive, and I wanna be individualistic and shit, then I decide that actually the nerdy one is the "real" hot one because actually I have chad taste over all the normies who like Daphne.Unserious Answer: short skirt and sweater puppies. She was always the hot one.
>>151820006>Ok people this is scooby doo, we need to cast an actress for the goofy looking, nerdy klutz who wears big glasses and is the stereotypical fugly nerd that no one looks at twice, her main schtick is being a nerd alongside the hot stacy daphne, ok??>we've got the perfect one in mind sirthey really didnt even try with casting
When nerdy boys who watched the show started going through puberty.
>>151820006>jinkies, where are my glasses?!
>>151820129>>151820100Another theory I have is by making Velma shorter her design "accidentally" becomes curvier, at least compared to Daphne side by side.(pic related from 'A Tiki Scare is No Fair' now that you mention it)Ergo, more modern "thiccc" beauty standards turned what was supposed to be "frumpy" becomes way more hot almost to the point of Daphne looking pretty damn tame for some fans.
>>151820006People had been into Velma as the chubby nerd for decades, but as newer generations were brought in to work on newer incarnations of the series, that latent attraction to the quiet nerdy girl gradually morphed into a meme about her being more overtly sexy.
>>151820101The Mystery Machine is more holistic than that so you go to be more groovy.Daphne as the Damsel-in-Distress is the intermediary between the fleeing(Shaggy, Scooby)/capturing(Fred/Velma) functions. both roles are active while Damsel-in-Distress is passive, note not scared or terrified like Shag and Scoob, and the function of that can be seen as bait but bait is a crucial part of any trap I would argue.
>>151820415They're both equally curvy and you're presupposing that Velma is meant to be read as "frumpy". Think about it, is Velma at a library or stuck in her room studying here? Velma maybe a Brain but she is not in a high school setting where the popular girls are chipping away at her self-esteem for her love of bulky sweaters. She exist in a liminal cross-country van tour solving small town mysteries and comes off more impish than anything else.
>>151820006When she was drawn wearing knee highs, glasses, and a skirt.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I see people say they think Velma's the hotter one
None of the above. Boomers debated about it just like they debated about Betty and Ronnie, or how oldfags debated about Rei and Asuka. That we get "but actually, I think Daphne is hotter" threads every other week is proof enough that the issue will never be settled.
>>151820006Never, only retards on the internet pretending it was the case.
>>151820006>velma was the beautiful and sexy dame of the group??in the mid 90s when most men realised the quiet girl who was nerdy was actually the best type of wife.
>>151821280Maybe back then, nowadays she'd just be an annoying cunt that everybody would be happier if she wasn't part of the group.
>>151820006I will always be a Daphne guy and have been since birth
>>151821293yeah probably
>>151820043Wasn't she modeled after the dorky girl from Doby Gillis?
