Velma star/EP MindyKaling & EP CharlieGrandy on the importance of inclusion, how comedy defines the character, ScoobyDoo canon & more. / VelmaDinkley Shaggy Scoob HBOMax

\nAs far as Scooby-Doo goes, it's nice to see Velma Dinkley getting a ton of attention lately when it comes to giving the character the well-rounded attention they deserve. First, we learned that Velma would be reimagined as South Asian for star & executive producer Mindy Kaling, Warner Bros. Animation & HBO Max's ten-episode 'Scooby-Doo' prequel spinoff, Velma.

She was so cute but not traditionally hot – [she was] super-smart [with] super-thick glasses, a questionable haircut. I think most Asian American girls may see this skeptical, hardworking, and underappreciated character, and they can identify with her.'\nGrandy on Not Being Defined by Canon: 'I watched the original and there's some canon, but they've reinvented it. So it's not like you're doing Batman. That gave us a little bit of freedom.
