The long-circulating rumor is true: HBO Max’s new movie Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! acknowledges that the franchise’s Velma is LGBTQ.
In a scene from the toon pic, the brainy, bespectacled Mystery Inc. character is visibly smitten with a female foil. “I always thought it was a strange coincidence that all our cases seem to involve some supernatural creature,” Daphne (voiced by Grey Griffin), says.
To which Velma (Kate Micucci) replies, “But it wasn’t a coincidence — these costumes were created by one person.” Enter Coco Diablo (Myrna Velasco), the head of the notorious costume crime syndicate behind the creepy costumes.
As Coco tosses her long white hair, Velma mentally surveys the scene and notes: “Incredible glasses!” “Amazing turtleneck!” “Obviously brilliant!” “Loves animals!” Cut to shot of Velma’s glasses fogging up and her blushing.
