Velma Redeemed the One Scooby-Doo Character No One Liked

Velma viewers continue to rally against the show's disrespectful take on the original IP, with Scrappy-Doo returning in a surprising twist. Despite the hate, Velma's Season 2 episodes rated slightly higher on IMDb, with Scrappy playing a major antagonist role in the plot. Viewers rejoiced at Velma's apparent death as Scrappy's return causes an unexpected turn of events in the series.
