If they did this I would watch Velma
3 years ago
If the upcomeing Velma show did this plot point it would be brilliant. Yes this show could be saved if they had the balls to tirn the Protagonist intoma sort of stalker. Of course the whole never be this brave or creative
But let's pretend it isn't going to be a dumpster fire, suspend our disbelief and just imagine....
So we have an epiaode where "Velma" tells her friends "My wierd half cousin will be visting this week and she's really weird and so are her friends so migjt be best if you guys stayed away thill they left."
Do a shot of Velma's apartment and we see a Blue BWM Van with flower designs in the parking lot.
"Velma's" friends think thye see and and approach her but TWIST it's White Velma with Daphne, Freddy, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. Then "Velma" shows up dressed differently and everyone stares at her. "Mindy, what is this?" Real Velma asks fake Velma. Now the revelation, Fake Velma the star of this show is actually Mindy Dinklly, Velma's mixed race cousin. She has obsessed with being just like her Cousin and hasn't taken the creepy steps of legally changeing her name to Velma and gaslighting her friends to turn them into Diveristy token versions of Mysteries Inc. she even plans to adopt he own Great Dane but has be stalled because she is trying to get one of Scooby's Cousins. She is confronted by her Cousin and her friends for being so weird and creepy. The Mysteries Inc gang leaves but all of "Velma's" friends haven't forgiven her yet and all revert to what we find out where their real personalities. But a mystery happens and they are the only one who can solve it and are foced to work together. Over the course of the case we find out who these characters really are, and they aren't anything like the Knock-Off Mysteries Inc "Velma" was trying to build. The trope of race and genderinf swapping established characters is deconstructed and at the end of the season "Velma" legally changes her name back to Mindy and stops trying to Copy her Cousin.

So naturally, it wouldn't ever be like that in a billion years.
