What's the point in rebooting it?

I guess it was just rebooted because so many people asked for it to continue (at least according to the solicitation), but it's still odd.

Where can you buy these comics when they are released in October?

I believe you can buy them anywhere comics are sold (so online, comic book shops, grocery stores if any by you happen to sell comics, etc.).

It is really strange they're rebooting this. I can't imagine the demand for this was that high, but who knows.

I think I'm just gonna treat it as a continuing number when I deal with it on my site. It seems insane to go back to number 1. 7/25/2022 12:55:55 pm
I was debating how to handle it for the comic page on here too, but right now I just have a section header between it and #12 saying "reboot," and then listing it as #1. I don't know why they'd start back over at #1. That's going to be really confusing.

Still our only source of new Scooby media of 2022…😔

I am honestly shocked we've heard nothing yet. I'm sort of at the point where I don't think Krypto is happening this year anymore. They aren't going to release it in November and December since otherwise it'd be super close to Scoob! Holiday Haunt, and I think we would have heard something by now if they were going to release it in October or before. I was just talking to somebody about this the other day, but I also don't wonder if they're shifting focus away from direct-to-DVD movies and going to focus more on making content for HBO Max (like Scoob! Holiday Haunt). Idk though, these are just my updated thoughts. I would have never thought we'd be five months away from the end of the year and not heard anything about the next DTV.

We haven't even heard anything about a leak or rumor or inside info from any kind of source on an upcoming DTV, aside from the Krypto crossover obviously. This is especially strange, considering A LOT of DTVs in recent years have been more or less revealed in an unauthorized way, all of them lately for a while. Heck, even the apparently true character descriptions in Velma from that site a while ago could count as that, and that one photo of a Guess Who script in Welker's hand long before the show came out too. 7/27/2022 09:13:21 pm
That's what I find odd as well. We knew about the most recent DTV, Courage, way back in 2019 and there's just been nothing with this. I'm probably one of the rare few, but I still don't quite trust those leaked Velma character descriptions. The site didn't seem reliable to me in the sense that it kept trying to hit us over the head with saying "we got this from a very reliable source" and then never state the source. Just seems odd.

If they're already making an HBO Max prequel to Scoob this year, I don't think there's any way they won't a sequel as well personally. Scoob 2 can't be Holiday Haunt because that's a prequel, while the idea of a Scoob 2, a follow-up, can only work for a sequel logically. I'm sure as soon as Holiday Haunt is out, development for Scoob 2 will kick into gear. WB doesn't seem to have given up on this HB Cinematic Universe, so it's to be expected imo. 7/28/2022 09:24:00 am
I respectfully disagree with "Scoob 2 can't be Holiday Haunt because that's a prequel, while the idea of a Scoob 2, a follow-up, can only work for a sequel logically." He never says "Scoob 2" anywhere either; I believe that statement I copy/pasted is the only thing Cervone has said on it. He just calls it a "follow-up," which fits Holiday Haunt. That's not to say there won't be a sequel, because I think if this does well, there could be one; I just don't agree that Scoob 2 has been confirmed because Tony hasn't said anything about a project like that. He just said there was a "follow-up" project, which is Holiday Haunt.

Honestly I think they are slowing down this year in general because the only major thing set to come out this year is hoilday haunt while the rest likely won't come out this year I don't think they are stopping the dtv movies the only reason we were probably going to get one this year was because holiday haunt to it's slot kind of like how SCOOB did the same also what about trick or treat Scooby doo which is going to be a dtv movie.

Oh I completely forgot Trick or Treat will happen! We haven't heard anything about that in a quite a while. It's a DTV movie after all, right? In that case we have next year secured with at least 1 DTV, whether Krypto comes out this year or not.

I still stand by the fact that we were only going to get one because of holiday haunt but I don't think theirs any way of knowing until the next dtv comes out 7/27/2022 09:03:11 pm
Yeah, I also think the WB/Discovery merger could have something to do with the delay.

Maybe I misremember but didn't someone working on it say it was a DTV? Now whether that's a movie or a special is another thing. 7/28/2022 09:25:39 am
Actually you're right, I think Scoobylover from the ScoobyAddicts forum reached out to somebody who was working on the film and said it was a DTV. My bad, I'd momentarily forgotten about that.

Mystery Pups is coming all the way in 2024 and at this rate Velma seems like it’s too far away. So our lack of media and continued one for months to come is still expected. Honestly very frustrating…

It's definitely strange we'd go from so much content in 2021 to suddenly nothing. I think Becker is correct though that it's because they're preparing for the huge wave of content about to come our way with Holiday Haunt, Velma, Mystery Pups and possibly Trick or Treat.

I think Velma will come out within a year.

I agree. I think it's safe to say we'll have a trailer by late this year or early next year. Leave a Reply. |
