FANART: "Velma Does Dallas" (don't worry, it's not nearly as dirty as it sounds!)

After witnessing the unfathomable, childhood-destroying train wreck that was Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated, I have decided that there's no way in hell I'm tuning in for the upcoming second season. I gave the show too much of my time already in the hopes that it would redeem itself in the end and it failed. BIG TIME!

However, I will forgive it and take back ALL my criticisms if the second season opens like this:

In case any of you are too young to get the reference; the title, content, and a lot of the dialogue in this comic are a reference to the 80s soap opera Dallas. Specifically, the infamous season premiere that used the "it was all a dream" trick to ret-con the events of the entire previous season and bring two popular characters back from the dead. It was a lame thing to do at the time; but it's pretty funny in retrospect. Check it out here:



Basically, I'm saying that Mystery Incorporated can only be saved by Patrick Duffy in a shower at this point. That's the ONLY thing that will convince me to watch the second season!

*laughs* That is awesome, ah that opening is so famous.

Honestly, unless I hear they gotten a good well known writer to take over (Like Lauren Faust or Greg Wiseman) I'm not going to bother with the new series. At the very least, if the writers wanted to keep the plot line they and try to change things, they got a lot, and I mean A LOT of work to make the show watchable again.

When you think about that you can argue that original series from the 60s had better feminist characters than the new modern show, that is saying something.
