The newest ‘Scooby-Doo’ movie reveals one of its main characters to be explicitly lesbian.
QUICK FACTS:
- Velma, one of the most popular characters in the hit series ‘Scooby-Doo,’ is now being depicted as a lesbian on screen.
- In a few viral clips of the new movie “Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!” Velma can be seen lovestruck after her encounter with costume designer Coco Diablo.
- After setting her eyes on Coco, one clip shows Velma’s glasses fogging up as she exclaims “Jinkies!” following the incident.
- Supervising producer Tony Cervone has spoken about the character’s sexuality and his desire to make it “official” on screen.
- “I’ve said this before, but Velma in ‘Mystery Incorporated’ is not bi. She’s gay. We always planned on Velma acting a little off and out of character when she was dating Shaggy because that relationship was wrong for her, and she had unspoken difficulty with the why,” Cervone said. “There are hints about the why in that episode with the mermaid, and if you follow the entire Marcie arc it seems as clear as we could make it 10 years ago.”
SCOOBY-DOO PRODUCER ON CHARACTER BEING SECRETLY GAY FOR YEARS:
“I obviously don’t represent every version of Velma Dinkley, but I am one of the key people that represent this one. We made our intentions as clear as we could ten years ago. Most of our fans got it. To those that didn’t, I suggest you look closer. There’s no new news here.“
