I forget how her nightgown looked like, but I'll take your word for it.
Again, a big reason why Velma never ought to have had that complex to start with.
And I think Hot Dog Water is hot too. XD But with her hair, glasses, and clothes, she wouldn't be considered a "hottie" like Daphne, Alice May, Mai Li, etc.
Wrong for writing melodrama and romance, I agree. Female protagonists...meh, I actually like Daphne and Velma in this show whenever they're NOT being saddled with "female" issues, if that makes any sense.
No, I haven't seen that movie. (Not a super huge Scooby fan like you, remember?) But if what you say is true, then why weren't those people writing the Scooby/Shaggy/Velma subplot during the first half of the show? It would've made those episodes SO much more tolerable!
Also, I realized that something bugged me about your claim that Shaggy teasing Velma is wrong because he's her ex boyfriend. Are you meaning to say that friends who dates each other, then break up and stay friends, cannot ever poke fun at each other at all? Even if they might have otherwise when they were just friends in the past, pre dating phase? That just doesn't sound right to me. Shaggy and Scooby BOTH teasing Velma came out wrong, I get that. But...not even one of them can do it without being seen as an asshole by you???
Also, saw the "Loopy Gas Shaggy Date Rape" episode today. And yes, it still sucks. XDDD
