You're both wrong.
Damn right.
Man those scenes where the zombie appeared in the pit and when the ghost showed up in the kitchen scared the hell out of me first time I saw it.

More than all the other Hannah Barbera IP put together nowadays. But when your competition boils down to: sometimes Flintstones, rarely Yogi Bear and once in a blue moon for anything else, that's not that great of an accomplishment.
I remember the one where they went in computers and met themselves and shit. That was rad.

not at all. Also she never goes crazy about it. She actually whines and moans about the hair. The body is something secondary, to which the only time she has a trouble with, is when she gets stuck on a crawl space at the end.
And thanks yahoo, you ruined the only clue to solving the mistery of the movie. you assholes.
Anything smaller than a size 8 is the real curse imo.
when i buy pants i want to know more than waist and length. hell, length isn't even an issue since that can be shortened. i do like to know the rise, thigh and leg openings though.

Thinking back though, Scooby Doo is really fucking weird. Like, discounting Mystery Incorporated because it did go for its own self contained thing Scooby Doo has had essentially contiguous canon up through Whats New Scooby Doo in 2002. Thats like 33 years of a children's cartoon that was supposedly all on one timeline
A) In no universe is that a size 8 body frame LOL
B) The best Scooby Doo movies have been the ones where the monsters are real. Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost stand out as being particularly good.
C) LOL how did this turn into a stealth Scooby Do cosplay thread
Let's be real, most interpretations of Daphne have not been what I would consider "enlightened" so to speak.

" The statement also notes that Daphnes longtime love, Fred, didnt even notice a change and that she always looks great to him. That message could be the worst of all that a womans self-esteem and acceptance of her body and looks comes from a mans approval, not from within. "

Out of the goofier stuff, WWE Mystery really is one of the better Scooby Doo movies. The opening features a bunch of Mystery Machines crashing into each other and exploding. At one point Scooby gets arrested in WWE City (which was built on the grounds where an evil ghost bear was buried) and Vince McMahon tells him there are no courts, he must win his freedom IN THE RING
Id watch it over Reluctant Werewolf any day of the week

I can't even imagine what being a size 2 would be like... and I am almost a stick figure.
Is Daphne made of air or something?

I'm a size 8. You can look at my avy and judge how much of a whale I am.
I have this problem with tops and dresses! Whenever I'm buying something online I look at the measurements and it's like, "Waist? Fine. Hips? Fine. Bust? 5 inches too small."
The only choices are to go up a size and feel like I'm wearing a circus tent, or stay with the lower size and sport massive amounts of cleavage.
I need to watch this now.

Well, yeah, neither should be "a curse."

Yeah, I'm not huge up top, but a good C. I tend to favor like, size xxl shirts because they are loose and are long enough to cover my hips and bum. (I know everyone here loves the whole big ass thing, but it's a flaw in my eyes for some reason and I hate it)
Shirts that fit me well tend to be tight as hell in the chest, and therefore ride up over the pants line and that's fucking annoying. I love getting the xl baby doll shirts though, tight across the chest and super long so they don't ride up
Oh my god fiction your a girl we get it stop rubbing our faces in it geez why do you always have to make everything about how your a woman
I seen some men's pants switching to a single number, it's the worst thing ever.

Why? Why would you go backwards? Just listing the important dimensions is the most efficient way to convey this information!
You're both wrong.
The only correct answer, this one is legit scary at points. Witch's Ghost is a close second though,

I bet I'd be envious of your butt. I'm doing my best to build up a bigger ass in the gym (mine's not small but I'm definitely top heavy, and I prefer the bottom heavy look).
For tops I try to go with the trapeze or tunic typs so that they fit well in the bust and flow more loosely toward the bottom. Just the style I like.

Heh, I'm the other way. Hips fine, waist fine, chest... well what am I meant to put in here?

No judgement here. I sport a very Stevie Nicks look, myself, most of the time.

I liked Cyber Chase growing up, was decent
But the recent WWE x Scooby Doo movie was actually good, Vince took a W
So it's a curse to be big now? smh not a good message if Daphne says that in the movie

Point being it doesn't matter if it is or not, as long as the end goal happens, apparently.

My wife has similar issue as she's also top heavy (has a big bum too though). Some shirts/dresses make her look pregnant or something because her boobs push out the stomach region. She has a pretty damn flat tummy too.

Witch's Ghost is the best Scooby Doo movie, but Mystery Incorporated is so much further ahead than anything else Scooby at all it makes the movie debate pointless.
Girl Gaf take over XD
I'm kinda shy about talking about this but I'm feeling less so seeing you girls talk about it. Mind if I join in?
My measurements are 38~28~41. I got the big butt and breast thing so I try to cover up as much as possible. My usual outfit consists of jeans and t-shirts because (I feel like you Fiction) it's not awesome. Especially not when my curves gather unwanted attention.
So yeah, if Daphne is supposed to be an 8 (like 8 is too big, wat?), this is ridiculous.

Mystery Incorperated is brilliant in some areas and ham-handed in others. I love it but I can't quite call it unquestionably the best Scooby Doo thing ever

You don't even need to resort to cosplay to find the best Velma--she was in the actual movie(s).

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Yeah seriously wtf.
That being said, this only seems to reinforce the idea that Daphne is vain and only cares about her looks. That's disappointing. Why can't she be hot and smart?
[Also, I'm 5'5" & a size UK 4/6, or a US size 00. I have body pictures up in the Face-GAF thread if people are curious what a size US 00 looks like lol.]
Because the characters are all foils to one another. Fred is confident, muscular, has nice hair, and stands tall compared to Shaggy who is always scared, is very skinny, unkempt hair, and slouches. She's not a stupid person, (outside of the live action films where she less smart than her animated counterpart), she's just not as smart as Velma just like Velma (in the context of the show) isn't considered as beautiful as Velma. For all we know the main message behind this film will be that looks and weight aren't all that matters. A good message to teach to kids imho.

well, a 32 in one brand is not gonna necessarily be a 32 in another; same with suiting. there isn't a real standard anywhere, men's clothing is just far less squirrely about it.

so google says this is size 8
12 is the hottest.

Her being specifically a "size 8" is pretty bad no matter how you look at it, but its true that this could be contextualized as "her learning that her worst fear isn't actually that bad/that her figure isn't everything", and that would be appropriate

Same happens to me, a lot of the styles of shirts popular in the last couple of years are not kind on my figure. Fashion designers clearly do not take bigger busted girls into consideration (or anyone with a shape other than "model").
