After years of speculation, the character Velma from Scooby-Doo is officially a lesbian.
The new movie “Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!” reveals a scene where the lovable character gets dumb-struck and her glasses steam up when she meets costume designer Coco Diablo.
Watch below:
It has been a not-so-well kept secret amongst creators of the show and fans for years.
In 2020, James Gunn who wrote the live-action movies, wrote on his Instagram:
“I’ve said this before, but Velma in ‘Mystery Incorporated’ is not bi. She’s gay. We always planned on Velma acting a little off and out of character when she was dating Shaggy because that relationship was wrong for her and she had unspoken difficulty with the why. There are hints about the why in that episode with the mermaid, and if you follow the entire Marcie arc it seems as clear as we could make it 10 years ago. I don’t think Marcie and Velma had time to act on their feelings during the main timeline, but post reset, they are a couple. You can not like it, but this was our intention.”
“Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!” is available on Prime Video now.
