>Daphne and Shaggy are childhood friends who live in the small town of St. Luna, California and are on their last year attending the Ruby/Spears summer camp.>Their friend Mike Andrews disappears and is later found dead. Scooby is discovered at the crime scene and adopted by Shaggy.>Mike appears to have been murdered by the Luna Ghost, a local urban legend said to haunt St. Luna. Soon, more murders begin occurring.>Daphne and Shaggy decide to investigate in order to bring Mike’s killer to justice and end up befriending Velma and Fred.>Velma is a townie with scientific aspirations who believes debunking the existence of the Luna Ghost will get her noticed.>Fred is a runaway from an abusive home who ultimately becomes a prime suspect due to arriving in town at the same time as the murders start.>Daphne comes from the wealthiest family in town and her parents are hiding a secret connected to the legend of the Luna Ghost.>Shaggy is a fan of horror movies, particularly Vincent Price films, and believes Scooby can help them crack the case if he figures out how to communicate with him.>The gang’s investigation eventually uncovers a conspiracy involving Daphne’s parents and the other founding fathers of St. Luna.>McKenna Grace is playing Daphne.>Ariana Greenblatt is in talks to play Velma.
>We want the Riverdale audience... four years after it ended
>>152638960Riverdale Scooby-Doo ironically sounds like a timeless idea. The series is never too young for subversion. Problem is, when was the last time Scooby-Doo was played straight?
>MikeHow many people actually know about that deep cut aside from us?
>>152638403So I guess Velma just canonically isn't white anymore
>>152639003>Ariana GreenblattHalf-Jewish half-Puerto Rican is a baby step in the right direction. Probably too much to ask for her to be straight, though.
>>152638979probably around the time of "guess who" ig
>>152638403>cast a Daphne that looks vaguely like Sarah Michelle Gellar>cast a Velma that looks vaguely like Hayley KiyokoInteresting strategy.
>>152638403>Riverdale 2..0 with Scooby Doo
>>152638403>red head replacement continues
>>152638403>live action>>>/tv/
>>152638989Years and years ago, I told my mother a long yarn about how there was another member of the Mystery Gang in the forgotten season 1, predating the Black Knight episode, but he was too subversive for a children’s cartoon and cut, and season 2 was renamed season 1. My lie was surprisingly on point when I discovered Mike years later, I had the leather jacket down. I think I called him Steven though.
>>152640374/co/ adaptations are /co/
>>152640333What is: hair dye, Alex!
>>152638403Scooby Doo always sucked
>>152640333Wigs and hair dyes are a thing.
>>152640430>>152640444Fuck off fakers. Legit red hairs or bust.
>>152638403Honestly... I don't hate it. Sounds consistent enough with the core concepts of these characters, so I think it'll mainly depend on execution.
>>152640469Fuckin' ginger crusader over here.
>>152640469Gingers have soulless eyes and no expression in their faces, they aren't fit for tv and cinema
>>152640072Asian Velma is cute
>>152638979I'm surprised it took this long, this sounds like something that should have aired a decade ago with Teen Wolf or some shit.
>>152638403Will there be grave consequences for planet earth if there isn’t a new take on Scooby Doo in the works at all times? Why this franchise specifically? Why hasn’t The Jetsons been adapted even once while this gets regurgitated without fail every few years?
>>152640722At least they’re not letting some dumb bitch fuck up Jonny Quest
>>152640722nobody hates The Jetsons enough to try to ruin it/loves The Jetsons enough to attempt a reboot of it.
>>152638989>>152640390Redpill me on Mike
>>152640623you should make a /tv/ thread about it
>>152640333Daphne's actress in the 2002 movie was a blonde chick too. They'll probably just dye her hair.
