Who do you think sleeps with who?

I'm going to pull wildcard and say Velma and Scooby are fucking. Daphne fucks Shaggy when Fred isn't around.

 

[Fenderputty]

Naw, hon, I'm a size 12 (large rear) and that picture is more like a 22.

Edit: A picture of me when I was actually a size eight:



Har har, look at the fatty.

So the right kinda size 12 lol.

Admittedly I have no idea about female sizes, but my wife's a six - eight and so I at least knew that pic in the OP was off.

 

[……forgetit]

You're both wrong.

This man knows what's up.

 

[Richie]

I'm amused at them actually greenlighting this premise.

 

[weemadarthur]

I haven't been a size 8 since I WAS 8. And that pic is a 22-26 in American sizes.

I like the end of this article. The producers excuse this b.s. by saying 'but her man still thinks she is attractive' and don't get the response they hoped for.

 

[The Adder]

It's Velma's time to shine!

It's always Velma's time to shine.

 

[robotzombie]

It's Velma's time to shine!

I want to think that picture is awesome, but all i can see is her eyes looking opposite ways

 

[The Technomancer]

You're both wrong.

This guy right here, he gets it. This one and

where they meet the Hex Girls

 

[Ashhong]

That's not size 8. This part of the article caught my eye though:-



That last part can't be right.

I believe it.

 

[Steamlord]

You're both wrong.

You're goddamn right.

Um, no. Fred actually has all the skills that trap the bad guys. What does Daphne bring? Pretty much nothing but being bait.

No, Scooby and Shaggy are the bait. Daphne is the unintentional damsel in distress. She's a liability more than anything.

Female sizing is the stupidest, most arbitrary shit.
I've argued with my girlfriend about how terrible it is and she says the male style of pants having waist size/leg length right on the label is dumb too.

Like fucking please.

 

[AbsolutBro]

Wait, I'm genuinely having trouble deciding if people are sarcastic about being upset or not. Are we actually expecting realistic dress sizing from a cartoon with a talking dog?

 

[DominoKid]

yall know Velma was hiding the wonder twins under that sweater.

 

[G-Fex]

Do these things actually make money?

Having waist and leg size like on male pants makes the most sense. It is self explanatory and easy to understand.

What if Scooby was just some dude in a outfit the entire time?

Witch's Ghost is amazing so I forgive you.

 

[The Technomancer]

Witch's Ghost is amazing so I forgive you.

...for what?

 

[meitantei_conan]

You're both wrong.

Best scooby doo movie.

Exactly, having some arbitrary size that changes from country to country, let alone store to store is absurd.

 

[MattPeters]

Wait a sec, Transylvania is in Romania, not Pennsylvania.

Will not watch.

 

[Regiruler]

...for what?

For claiming ZI is better than camp scare.

CS > WG > ZI > rest of the shit goes here

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Somewhere, Tom Preston is masturbating

I don't know if I've actually seen Camp Scare. My exposure was limited to what the local Blockbuster carried as a kid

I remember watching Zombie Island again last year though and it was still super good. Surprisingly so for a direct to VHS thing or whatever. Like, the writing and acting and animation were all great

 

[The Adder]

But she's hotter then Velma guys, come on.

It is absolutely amazing, utterly astounding even, how incredibly wrong you are right now.

 

[Blood Red Sky]

So that's a UK 12, eh? Excuse me while I weep into a packet of custard creams and drown my sorrows in a gallon of Yazoo. At least my man still loves me.

she is “cursed” with losing the thing that she holds most dear: her small frame

Eugh, seriously? Not her sight, her intellect, her family or her funky little scarf?

 

[FunkyPajamas]

No "that's my fetish" gif? Come on!

 

[Regiruler]

Even if I am a tad biased, it's easily the best recent movie. Every Scooby-Doo fan needs to see it.
It's been ages since I've seen ZI though. Even then I still preferred WG because I thought the setting was cooler.

 

[Bronetta]

It's Velma's time to shine!

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Would it have been better if they stated it was a size 22 (which it looks like)?

It seems the core message is that her superficiality is negative, and she's being put in a body, then there'll be some blabla about how it's the inside that matters, and when she realizes that she'll be magically thin again and be happy for that but no longer be so obsessed about her appearances.

Or something, I'm not writing this shit.

 

[sonikokaruto]

if that's the thing that is making the news, people are dumb.

Already saw a movie. i'd give it an 7.5 on the skyward sword scale

 

[Sawneeks]

Saw this earlier today and just shrugged it off. It's gross, but the new Scooby Doo show is garbage anyway. Now the old movies...

You're both wrong.

My man.

 

[kirblar]

if that's the thing that is making the news, people are dumb.

Was it labeled as "Size 8" in the movie?

Did any of us expect a girl horrified at becoming overweight as a major plot in a cartoon with a talking dog?

They're both really good. As an adult now I'm going back and watching stuff from my childhood and its incredibly stark the difference between the stuff that was aimed at kids but still well written from an adults perspective and the stuff that was just dumb

Another great example of the stuff that was smart? Arthur. I watched some Arthur on a whim last week, and it still holds up as a thoughtfully constructed show

In this Scooby-Doo movie debate, I have to throw my hat into the ring for:

Which has a really shitty cover, but is a good Scooby-Doo movie.

Yes, it would be better if (the movie) called that a size 22 (which we don't know if it says 8, or the article writer did). Because, if you want to make little girls fear being fat, at least make them fear getting to a size 22 and not a size 8.

Velma and Daphne. Fred and Scooby. Shaggy watches.

well eu sizing for men's clothing isn't the same as US sizing or japanese sizing.

 

[hodayathink]

Best Velma:

 

[SliceSabre]

The size thing went right over my head. I assume a size 2 is like skin and bones?

 

[Ferrio]

Best Velma:

Too skinny for velma. DENIED

 

[MIMIC]

The real victim... Johnny Bravo

He was so silly in that episode xD

(then again, he's always silly)

 

[Son Of D]

No "that's my fetish" gif? Come on!

Well someone has to do it.

 

[ishibear]

I wear a size 9 in jeans (12 in dresses~ I'm also really curvy) and she's hellah bigger than me. This is so fucking disgusting. I thought we were past crappy stuff like this.

 

[SmithnCo]

Velma was always hotter

Pretty much

 

[The Technomancer]

well eu sizing for men's clothing isn't the same as US sizing or japanese sizing.

The US mens pants system is by far the most sensical because it just lists the critical dimensions. I don't know why anyone needs anything more abstract than that.

 

[studyguy]

well eu sizing for men's clothing isn't the same as US sizing or japanese sizing.

If another country doesn't use leg/waist length to determine jean size then I can't help but feel like they're only failing themselves. Shit on us for not following the metric system, but at least our sizing on pants is reasonable for men.

 

[Mengetsu]

Jinkies! Something moved in my pants!

 

[Mesoian]

The only thing this thread has shown me is that women's dress sizes are fucking bullshit.

Also Velma was always the winner.

Always.
