Should the mystery solving teens genre come back?

They were all just rip-offs of Scooby-Doo, anyway, and the fad has long passed. Honestly, it's surprising that Scooby-Doo is still around when it wasn't anything particularly special itself.

>>94927073
Didn't it almost die and than Zombie Island saved it?

I'm still not sure how that's still around myself. My kid brother had like 10 of those fucking movies.

It seems to be a franchise that seems to make mediocre works at almost totally consistent rate. Pup named scoobey doo and Zombie Island stand out as the only works which are particular ally good or particularly bad. Everything else they ever made is meh.

>>94927155
Scooby stuck around because it was an iconic Hanna Barbera series.

The genre died back in the early 80's but the whole thing was based on the Monkeys tv show a lot earlier.

We already had one 10 years ago, it's called Persona 4

basically during the 70s, Hanna-Barbera kept churning-out one Scooby-Doon clone after another, and rival studios like Ruby Spears and Filmation would jump on the band-wagon as well

the majority of American TV cartoons made during the 70s were usually some sort of clone of Scooby-Doo, the Flintstones, or Yogi Bear

>the majority of American TV cartoons made during the 70s were usually some sort of clone of Scooby-Doo, the Flintstones, or Yogi Bear

It wasnt a majority
there was a shit ton of them, but there was still plenty of original content being produced

>>94929226
Not just random cartoons with teens solving mysteries, Hanna Barbera was turning popular sitcoms into them as well. Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Partridge Family, Charlie's Angels, Mork and Mindy,, they gave them all a random cartoon talking sidekick and usually placed them in weird settings like space or the future.

But the Scooby clones were pretty common. Only the sidekick changed a lot. Talking cars, dogs, ghosts, cavemen, birds, bears, just anything.

>>94923734
There still are some though.
Ducktales and Mike Tyson Mysteries off the top of my head

>>94923734
mystery shows already have made a lite comeback in recent years
Mystery Inc, Gravity Falls, even Welcome to the Wayne
you could even say Steven Universe has a mystery element in it
and even though it's more of a parody of the genre Mike Tyson Mysteries is there


There should be more of a comeback, Netflix needs its own mystery cartoon

While not a cartoon, DC had a recent crack at the genre with Gotham Academy. It was pretty good too, but it was pretty clear the writers never expected it to go past 12 issues, so it loses its way a bit after that point.

just the characters are younger

Ok Gang. Here's what happened to me.

Watch Zombie Island!
>wow look at the animation! Best looking monsters in the franchise history and so many too! Look at the coloring. The Japs that made this sure did a bang up job

Watch Witcher's Ghost!
>Ok not as good as Zombie Island. Shading is still rock solid but the detailing and animation has suffered a little. Hex Girls are so sexy, great fun little battle at the end!

Watch Alien Invaders
>What happened to the animation? Still the same Jap studio as the last 2. Oh god the Shaggy in love subplot is faggotry! This is barely watchable!!

Watch Cyber Chase
>What am I doing with my life watching this? What were the animators and writers doing with their life? Well Studio Mook, you sure fell from glory!

And people say the other movies are even worst but there's like 30 more of these fuckers! WTF Who's buying this?

I'm just glad it lasted long enough to create Mystery Inc., which is better than the rest of the Scooby-Doo franchise combined (movies included).

>>94933777
There is currently Welcome to the Wayne on Nickelodeon

>>94933748
Children, who don't care about animation and only about interesting stories?
Scooby Doo fans, who care more about the character interactions and like seeing new or interesting spins on the old Scooby Doo cliches

>>94933801
too much melodrama

Bee Cool Scooby-Doo has better comedy

>>94933844
Which is barely a mystery show, and more importantly is shit.

>>94933865
I don't understand why BCSD isn't utterly reviled here, it's far worse than TTG. (Then again, the vast majority of animated comedies seem to be.)

>>94933951
It's got some fun jokes and the best Daphne in the franchise.

Scooby Doo meets Hatsune Miku!

Her panties are an important clue!!
Velma analyzes the strange fluid found on them!
"We found the same fluid on Fred's pants!"

It also features horrendous animation, far worse voice acting for Velma, and a lack of continuity which was the main factor making MI interesting.

>>94934005
In that sense it's the more Scooby Doo of the two since horrendous animation and a lack of continuity is what makes Scooby Doo what it is.

>>94934034
Humor is subjective.

I liked MI but it's over now and BCSD is entertaining so who cares?

>>94934042
Which is exactly why you get threads like these, where people hate on the franchise. Scooby-Doo just isn't interesting in itself, not to a modern audience at least. You have to change up the formula, like SDMI did.

>>94934085
>I liked MI but it's over now and BCSD is entertaining so who cares?
This is why CN is airing TTG 24/7, people like you

>>94934095
They would be airing BCSD non-stop if that were true.

>>94934095
I thought they aired TTG non-stop because their scheduling department is lazy as shit and because they have a special deal that lets them get a cut of the merchandising from it as opposed to other DC/Warner Bros franchises?

>>94934118
>a special deal that lets them get a cut of the merchandising from it as opposed to other DC/Warner Bros franchises
I've never understood these problems - IT'S ONE FUCKING COMPANY, how hard can it be to have the different branches get along for maximum profit?

>>94934150
Well you see, our society operates under the system of competition so even if that one company could just work together as a single unit to benefit all they wouldn't because every department has to fight like caged animals for their budget.

It's not enough that they succeed - others must also fail.

>>94934195
No, that's understandable. What isn't understandable is why TOP management doesn't DO THEIR FUCKING JOBS and FORCE them to work together properly.

>>94934223
Because they don't want to and because executives don't give a shit about cartoon scheduling, just the bottom line.

>>94933951
Neither show is that bad ttgo is just hated more because its spammed to death and original tt cartoon fans got butthurt

original tt is pretty cringe really. maybe a handful of decent eps in between all the faux anime window dressing and mediocre-to-bad comedy.

>>94934362
Fuck off, it's a fucking masterpiece.
The only episodes that are a little cringey are in early season 1, even so they're still enjoyable.

>>94934254
But that's my point! If TOP management gave a shit about the OVERALL bottom line, which is kind of their JOB, they would make them get along.

>>94934620
>Fuck off, it's a fucking masterpiece.
Bait this low quality doesn't even deserve a meme.

>>94934663
There's this attitude that competition is key to success though. Sure, you could probably make better products and have a better and more productive staff if you didn't pit them against each other but they believe that it will lead to more success even if there's not evidence to prove it so they keep doing it this way.

>>94934720
>Bait this low quality doesn't even deserve a meme.
It's not bait, Teen Titans is one of the best cartoons of all time (the 3rd-best, to be exact).

Not really mystery solving teens, these are more arc based younger kids solving the mystery of the place they are living in.

>>94934150
Not exactly, Time Warner is not really a single unified company as much as it is more of a United Nations of various competing smaller companies that are all under the same umbrella. Warner shows definitely compete with other Warner shows.

>>94923734
I don't know, but I want a crossover between all the Hanna-barbera's mystery teens plus a mascot titles.

In character, not like Mystery Inc.
