Have they? Genuinely disagree so extremely hard as a long time fan of the series. Because the series has gone on so SO long we have had a ton of variations but very rarely have they gotten an origin story. Most every iteration shows them as an established group. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo is the only one that is a true origin show, and as far as movies there have been origin stories but again that is from sheer volume, Scoob, The Mystery Begins, Daphne and Velma are the noteable ones but those are also regarded very poorly. So an actual good origin story show would be great.

"And then, when I was a 1, my mom played peek-a-boo with me. Out of a profound sense of betrayal, I've devoted my life to solving mysteries. *drama snare* I still don't know where she went until she reappeared and said "peek-a-boo"..."

Do we have a lot of origin stories for Mystery Inc? I’ll admit that I haven’t really seen any Scooby content newer than Zombie Island but I don’t remember ever seeing how the characters came together. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo may have had an episode about it but I don’t really know that that’s the same canon.

AContrarianDickApr 24, 2026

A Pup Named Scooby Doo was arguably the origin stories of origin stories for the Mystery Gang because they were elementary school students. You can't really go back further than that. They met at school and have been chasing mysteries ever since that point is the implication.
I just don't think a run of the mill weekly adventure show with teenagers who catch old dudes committing fraud or some other white collar crimes really needs some background. I just don't see the value added here by doing it here. Sure, you could say it's to encourage more people to enjoy the Scooby Doo franchise, but you could also do that in other ways without chasing the origin story trope that Hollywood seems to defer to when they are just trying to get money. Introduce me to the kids of the Scooby Gang or the next generation of Mystery Inc, then you can have an origin story that doesn't just seem like some nostalgia bait.
I can fully acknowledge other people might find this stuff gripping and engaging, but I am really just done with established IPs taking us back to where it all started when I've never heard even a grumbling for that or anyone talk about that and I, myself, have never cared since it wasn't important to watching some Saturday morning cartoons or old Cartoon Network shows.

Yeah, I don't understand why Scooby creators keep throwing away "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo." Nor do I understand why we need them getting together explained. APNSD understood that wasn't necessary, they were kids who happened to know each other and Scooby was Shaggy's dog, done and done. I also hope they don't try to explain (I know they're gonna) why Scooby can talk cuz the whole part of the charm is that he just can.

Pup named scooby doo wasn't an origin as far as I can recall, it's just a younger version of them.
I can't say if Velma is or isnt an origin as I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard it's different enough in so many ways that I don't really see this as stepping on any toes.
Scoob!, I think we see them meet, but it kinda skips past a lot and goes to them being in the business for several years, I believe.
Haven't seen the live action made for TV movies, so I can't comment on those, but something tells me that's true for a lot of people, so I don't really see an issue.

I would, yes.
But I do think we've gotten more bigger mainstream Spiderman origins than we have scooby doo.
The origin for Spiderman is a lot more mainstream than scooby doo, too. Most people who know Spiderman knows his origin, spider bite, losing uncle Ben, etc. I don't think that's true for scooby doo, them already being together and a formed mystery solving gang is usually just accepted as is, in my experience.

My biggest issue was that while there are extremely few "rules" to follow with Scooby Doo, Velma somehow broke all of them, and used the R rating for the worst uses possible.
Mystery Incorporated change a lot of the lore and character traits, as well as went pretty damn dark for a kids show. But it never forgot what makes the show work.
And I say this as someone who has always dug Mindy Kaling's work, and was genuinely interested in Velma.
That said, I'd still watch it over most of the SD stuff from the weird 80s era.

The Russo Brothers spent the last of the _Avengers: Endgame_ VFX money on Hulk eating tacos that they didn’t have money for actual Cassie Lang to stand on an apple box and act taller so that’s how we ended up with a stranger in _ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania_ inventing quantum bridges for a school project.

True Story. If you add Origins or After Dark to any title the public will instantly crave it.

If its anything like the ps1 scooby game - story wise and vibe wise- count me in
The only opinion I have on this is that I will be absolutely rooting for that girl from "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" playing Velma

That's a terrible title. How many times have we seen the "origins" of Mystery Inc.? Would have been so much cooler to do established adults like the 2000's movies

Am I the only one that would trade for limited series master splinter origin in an anime style?

The characters look...good. I am shocked. Now, lets see what they do for Scooby.

Scooby will be a figment of their imaginations in an effort to appeal to the mentally ill.

Sheen, this is the 6th time you have shown a Scooby Doo origin in class

The most impressive part of this so far is the age range of the actors lines up near perfectly with the canonical ages of the gang.
Velma is 15, Abby is 18
Daphne is 16, McKenna is 19
Fred is 16/17, Maxwell is 20
Shaggy is 17, Tanner is 21

We need new iconic monsters and schemes but keep the show set in the 60/70s. The premise and overall suspended belief allure/childhood innocence of the show struggles when it's portrayed through a more modern lense. It's retro and campy - let it continue to be.

I'm genuinely surprised they look like the cartoon characters

I hope it’s not as bad as Riverdale was. I’d love to see them get some of the 2002 live action cast to play their parents, but I’m guessing the show will just do its own thing.

Nailed the casting. Origins is a terrible subtitle though

Keep thinking someone's missing from the cast picture....
Realised it's Scooby and chances are he's cgi

The CGI Scooby in the live-action files was really well done. Looked exactly what I hoped it would be like.

Hope they don’t mess it up though, live-action can be hit or miss 😅

Ya shouldn't have anger for a TV show is more my point. You should be watching the things you like and if this is bad, let it fail on that.
