Why did this show, CGI Green lantern, Ben 10 Alien force, Secret Saturdays, etc take themselves so damn seriously? It feels like you're reading some teenager's fanfiction who thinks he's being serious. I mean he is being relatively serious to his credit, but he's pathetic when compared to actual mature writing like Zombie Island where the character feel like adults, not pathetic teens crying over small things. It feel Iike some autistic adolescent trying his best to sound cool and deep.

The eternal manchild cannot have seriousness in his cartoons.
cartoons are for entertainment and will never be taken seriously. if you want to look mature then read a book.
see
When you make Scooby-Doo some possessed demon dog instead of just some funny talking dog, you've gone too far.
I can't conceive a reading of this where one could think it took itself seriously
>where the character feel like adults, not pathetic teens crying over small things
Well, in Zombie Island they WERE adults, in Mystery Inc they are younger and teens are like that, anon, they will behave immaturely even in actually difficult and serious times, because they can't help it. They are teens, see.
>Well, in Zombie Island they WERE adults
No, that got retconned, they were still teenagers in that movie.
You mean Return to Zombie Island? That was shit and should be ignored actively.
>le Return to Zombie Island
I refuse to acknowledge that insult of a sequel.
Have we seriously reached the point where Mystery Inc. has become a pleb filter? The show is fricking great and if you don't like it, I question your taste in other things.
Being this self serious with such a ridiculous concept is bad. It's like a grimderp Sonic fanfic.
What kind of shitfrick moronic are you? MI plays the Scooby Doo format straight for 90% of its runtime and is mostly a comedy.
Destroying Velma's legacy is enough reason to hate it
Velma got cucked by a dog, it all evened out
Yep, also Shaggy used to get paired with lots of chicks in the past but after this show he only get's paired with Velma, which is forced as frick.
>but after this show he only get's paired with Velma, which is forced as frick.
She's a dyke now, despite dating him in the very same show, so that's about to change
Be Cool is the true pleb filter. All normalgays liked Mystery Inc for the edge.
Be Cool gays refuse to accept that looking awful is a genuine, huge problem for a cartoon.
Why the hell did OP take himself so seriously? He's just one of many autist's with shitty opinions.
Cope
Solid bait. 7/10, got me to reply.
What the frick do we even want from Scooby Doo?
The same bland 'oh look, the ghost/monster is actually this guy in a costume scaring people away AGAIN' with no twists in mechanics or looks like What's New and the comics?
And whenever we stray from the formula we complain anyway like with Mystery Inc or Be Cool or A Pup (which seems popular here but only cause e-girls) or anytime they drop any of the characters.
Something can be inherently whimsical and not serious without being self-deprecating or ironic. Some media is emotionally and thematically genuine (and better for it), but that doesn't make it "serious." It knows it's absurd and owns it instead of getting self-serious in a hollow attempt to look more mature and profound (This show) or playing off the absurdity to shelter itself from criticism (Marvel Movies). You people keep getting hung up on how serious is used as a synonym for sincerity in a non-media context. In media it means something different: that the work is meant to be considered deeply, and occasionally that its presentation is grave. Which is what these shows do. It's pretentious and hollow. It's trying to give the illusion its something more mature than what it is.
Is this a copypasta? I think I've seen this exact same post before.
https://desuarchive.org/co/search/filename/123LookingAtComputer.png OP is a copy and pasted thread.
>No argument
I'm just curious, what do you even expect to achieve by posting this copypasta over and over then? Even if you actually managed to change anyone's mind nobody here is in a position to change anything of this.
If you actually replied with a real argument, then I wouldn't use the copypasta.
But you posted the copypasta as a reply to my question, it's you who are resorting to a pre-made (maybe not even by you) token rant centered on vague and subjective concepts like 'genuine' and 'sincerity' that anyone can interpret as they want.
You only missed using 'soul' unironically.
Also, the original Scooby formula is 'sincere and honest'? Like frick it is, the show itself is a reworking of Dobbie Gillis and by now it's regurgitated itself so often that any version not subverted feel made by an automatic generator with basically the same plot on different locations every time.
This isn't true. Sincerity and genuineness have pretty clear definitions.
None of which apply to the original Scooby formula, which is an outright lift from previous shows, regurgitated to death by other shows and itself for decades afterwards.
But you know what I mean. Any half wit can come in and say 'this thing I like is sincere and genuine and honest because... I say it is, okay?'
Coping
I accept your concension.
I lost it with the twin peaks reference
It was also the first Scooby production to be genuinely funny rather than just amusing.
I don’t know about the others but aside from dealing with Death a couple times I wouldn’t call Green Lantern a Serious show
Idk anon Mystery Inc. was by far one of the better modern takes on Scooby Doo imo. I liked the ship with Velma/Shag and the only shame is that they didn't ultimately pan out.
