The only reason to watch the new Star wars movie is because Frank Miller had no hand in it.

Not my original point ("Star Wars, now with less George Lucas!"), but... think about it, isn't having less Frank Miller in your movie generally a good thing?
The Spirit would've benefited from less Frank Miller.

There'd be a lot more Twi'leks.
In my ongoing Twitter "feud" with my favourite comic book writer, Kurt Busiek, he took it too far:
Naturally, I escalated things to the next logical level.
(For those unaware, those are (to my knowledge) all of Busiek's work that I own.)
(Crap, except for his Avengers trades.)

DC Comics is bringing back Bloodlines.
Because they're stuck in the 90s.

Really? Seriously? Because the only good thing to come out of Bloodlines the first time was Hitman.
We've been saying that for a while, I guess this is DC's way of saying we're right.

All right, cash in, everyone. Who had "5 years until the DC Universe reboot" in their betting pool?
I had a year, so I didn't give them enough faith.

DC is giving Scooby Doo a gritty reboot. Because everything needs a gritty reboot these days, right?
Though Darwyn Cooke/Jeff Parker's Future Quest looks like fun.

She has a drone. So topical!
This has loosened over the years... now it's possible for them to encounter that sort of thing, but it can't be the sole cause of what is going on. For instance, Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost, 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo, etc. The main TV shows don't usually drift into this except for the finale of Mystery Inc. (where it's more of an alien Cthulhu thing than something like ghosts) and Mystery Inc. was all about subverting the rules of the rest of the series anyway.
I could deal with Shaggy being a hipster, I could deal with Velma being a child, but...is Scooby a cyborg? WHY-why cyber Scoob? Why can't we just believe in a talking dog, did we learn NOTHING from Midichlorians?!
Hey, it worked for Dinomutt and Blue Falcon.
Heh, his BF was Milleresque.
On the topic THAT series could handle a gritty reboot, as proven by a certain Toonami flash comic that is nigh-fucking impossible to find.

Actually, wasn't Shaggy the only one who actually understood Scooby on a lingual level? (Everybody else just inferred from dog-whining like normal)
I think it's more of the evidence that points to Shaggy being stoned all the time.
I mean, think about it.
1) Shaggy and Scooby always had the munchies despite being rail-thin.
2) Shaggy and Scooby always saw the ghost/monster first, and it looked realistically supernatural. Later, when the other 3 get involved, the obvious hoax quickly became apparent.
3) Shaggy could understand and converse with Scooby.
4) Shaggy and Scooby were constantly laughing inappropriately.
5) Every time the Mystery Machine would accelerate down the road, a blue-gray cloud of smoke would trail behind it.

Oh he is CLEARLY high all the time, but other characters were shown understanding him in the show. Dogs can just capable of speaking English in that world, its just a thing.
But Shaggy was a hipster, not a hippie. Just hipsters aren't as cool as they used to be.
I think its because hippies don't really exist as a sub-culture any more, so they went and modernized him.

I love that series. I still have it all on a hard drive.[DOUBLEPOST=1454021780,1454021665][/DOUBLEPOST]
Actually I'm not so sure. The other characters didn't so much as "hold conversations" with Scooby, they simply understood yes/no or when he wanted something obvious (like a Scooby snack). I mean, I can communicate with dogs in real life, on that level, no english needed.
They did a gritty reboot one-off of Blue Falcon and Dinomutt during Mystery Inc. It's actually pretty great.
Yeah and it was AWESOME, kinda annoyed they never had an adventure with Johnny Quest though but whatevs.
