if I had a nickel for every time seth green played the nice boyfriend of the bookish, nerdy girl who fights supernatural beings with her group of friends (called the scooby gang) led by her pretty but badass best friend (played by sarah michelle gellar) before she eventually came out as a lesbian, I'd have two nickels.
so apparently in the new scooby doo (animated/direct to video/streaming) movie Velma is pretty blatantly gay over a woman throughout the whole movie. Don’t know much else because the movie isnt’ out yet and I just saw clips, but damn it is like so blatant. Hell I don’t think blatant is the right word because they outright talk about Velma having a crush on her. It’s not subtext or background pause the video to gather evidence. Dialogue, Velma getting hot and bothered as much as she can in a kids movie, flirting, out right saying the woman is her type. (she’s a gorgeous nerd who is confidence, sassy, and apparently not completely lawful so I apparently have the same type)
Oh and the gang knows and teases her about her crush, which is also really nice to see. Yeah it’s nice to have Velma confirmed to be a lesbian in on screen in text not subtext, but it’s also no just her having a crush on a random hot woman and it being a running gag. It has plot relevence and her friends are not only aware and cool with it, they are doing their best to help her out.
