Future Quest and Wacky Race Land look like they could have some potential.
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;49652333]This is why I hate Hanna-Barbera. They're on another level compared to Fox and Nick on milking their cash cows dry. Fuck this is the company that greenlit multiple rip-off Scooby Doo shows despite OWNING SCOOBY DOO.[/QUOTE] Warner Bros dude
[QUOTE=woolio1;49652344]HB's been dead for almost a decade now, what are you talking about?[/QUOTE] 15 years actually, so one decade and a half
Why is it the action heroes are almost identical to their old designs, with no real modernization, and everything else is basically unrecognizable beyond the base factors? You'd think that DC Comics would try to edge up Johnny Quest and other Hanna Barbara heroes, but no apparently.

[QUOTE=Fort83;49652192]Shaggy looks horrible. Why make him some dumb hipster.[/QUOTE] I think he looks ok for the most part. Certainly more lively. But he does make me thing barbershop quartet.
Instead of Scooby Snacks, Shaggy is going to want Starbucks.
[QUOTE=Durrsly;49652073][t]http://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Scooby-Apocalypse.jpg[/t] [/QUOTE] scooby doo starring bj blazkowicz, black widow, scared hipster, emojidog and edna mode
Shaggy looks like a goddamn cross between a generic hipster and a 19th century Englishman cause of that facial hair. Also whats the point of a gritty flinstones reboot, when all it was a goddamn sitcom but taking place in the stone age
i am 100% ready for that wacky races, though
Is... is scooby a cyber dog?
How many Scooby Doo spin offs and reboots have there been already? It feels like hundreds.
the designs are weird but I'm not too bothered really Scooby Doo's one of those franchises where doing a shit Scooby Doo thing does little to no harm to the franchise itself because the core concept remains solid and people will remember it for this iteration [img]http://animatedviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scoobymummy1.jpg[/img] no matter how many shit movies, reboots, or whatever you make
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;49652116]Already been done. [video=youtube;mr4Ek08FEFs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr4Ek08FEFs[/video][/QUOTE] the venture bros itself is a gritty reboot of johnny quest anyways
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvt8skgm2l8[/media] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEZGaLlLfcY[/media] Flintstones already had adult material in them, I feel this is going to be a teen platform for misguided social issues.

Before the war on drugs became a thing.
Not sure what's more annoying the terrible art or the fact Johnny Quest is being thrown back to its original incarnation instead of real adventures [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIuuPTM3nSc[/media] This show had a shit ton of effort put into it.
THIS IS AWESOME!
had they not gone with the blandest possible artstyle i guess i could see it working? mystery, monsters and supernatural occurrences shouldn't be too hard to translate into mature territory
I'm already out, my childhood has been ruined enough.

The wacky races and scooby doo ones definitely look like ones I'd check out
[QUOTE=woolio1;49652344]HB's been dead for almost a decade now, what are you talking about?[/QUOTE] a decade? try 15 years. they folded into WB in 2001
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49652520]the designs are weird but I'm not too bothered really Scooby Doo's one of those franchises where doing a shit Scooby Doo thing does little to no harm to the frachise[/QUOTE] Yeah I totally agree. I used to love the scooby doo movies when they first came out, looking back, they were pretty bad, but I'll always remember the classic cartoon. I even remember watching another cartoon of SD some years back, where Scooby could transform into different animals by eating scooby snax. Totally bizarre, but it didn't spoil the originals for me
Dude, I'm unironically interested in the Wacky Races reboot, it's fuckin Death Race now I love it :v:
Zoinks scoob, it's the inquisition

Yeah I don't get it, if this doesn't appeal to you that's fine. it's mostly trying to appeal to comic book fans anyway This shouldn't 'ruin your childhood' you can still go watch the old scooby doo
Better than its current iteration from hell [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FKpse4dh.jpg[/img]
