It was bad, but not much worse than a bunch of other shows where they "force" a point across for the sake of politics. Saw some of this in Rick and Morty too

The wackiness/cringe levels were honestly comparable to Gravity Falls.

I think people just hate it because 1) race swapped in a way that erases whites instead of POC and 2) they heard other people hate it so they just bandwagon

Gravity Falls was charming.

Velma felt like Rick and Morty but Netflix pacing, and the cutaways of Family Guy.

It also really didn’t use its cast of characters effectively. The core 4 have a great dynamic and they are funny together.. The show basically refused to put them together as a group.

It’s a bad show in a “most cynical show” Way. As it’s also afraid of having a heart or being too ironic.

I just flat out don't understand why you'd use the Scooby Doo characters if you weren't going to shove them in a van and drive around solving real-estate crimes.
