    “Scooby-Doo doesn’t have Scooby-Doo” is like saying that my PB & J sandy has neither PB, nor J, nor is it a sandy. Like, what are we saying, at this point? It’s obviously not even the same thing, it’s like, a bean bag chair, or whatever else. At the same time, I don’t find myself crying for how the symbol has been dissolved, because that shit is happening all the time and only iron law of reality is that everything changes eventually.

    I dunno I get it but at the same time the shit strikes me as dumb and every time I hear somebody complain about this shit I get flashbacks to 4chan and also real life where I’m gonna be like “yeah sure that’s kinda stupid, scooby doo should have scooby doo or whatever” and then somebody’s gonna take that as an opportunity to start extrapolating a bunch of shit about how postmodernism is ruining the culture and yadda yadda white genocide, and I’m like. Damn, I thought we were gonna talk about scooby doo.

      It literally feels another show with the mystery gang paint slapped on that’s incredibly mean spirited with the jokes.

        I don’t even think it just feels like that, is what I’m saying, I think that’s literally what it is, exactly, to a T. “Mystery gang paint” is right on the money.

      And this is why Araki always has a “JoJo”, so he can keep using the same JJBA brand for his -mostly unrelated- stories lol /hj
