My guess is that Daphne was the writers' favorite Scooby Girl growing up and they're just playing out their fan-fiction/fap fantasies via this cartoon. Either that or the "have everyone treat Velma like a she-beast even though she's clearly attractive" thing is supposed to be an 'ironic' running gag that they executed badly. Either way, turning Velma into Meg Griffin is all kinds of wrong.
The only comfort is that the shit being introduced into MI's canon doesn't appear to be seeping into other current Scooby Doo productions.
The fact that so many people ADORE this show and say it's the best Scooby Doo show since the 1969 original makes me sad. I mean, even if you could pretend that all Scooby shows before MI don't exist and judge MI on it's own merits, it's STILL terrible! I feel like I'm crazy because it seems like only me and a couple of my friends are upset at what this show is doing to beloved childhood icons.
I have a theory that some high up Cartoon Network executive hates this show as much as I do and is actively helping it die (that would explain why a show based on a super popular franchise has gotten shafted with so many LONG hiatuses). I really hope I'm right.
