Remember Space Jam: Legacy? You probably don’t. It was an ill-advised sequel to 1996’s commercial trash art classic, Space Jam. In the original film, global icon Michael Jordan is sucked into a cartoon world where he must assemble a team of Looney Tunes to play an intergalactic game of basketball against a squad of goons to save the universe. Legacy saw the same plot revisited, subbing in LeBron James for Mj, except being released in 2021, merely showcasing the Looney Tunes would not suffice.

If you were looking to play as a support character in the game, then unfortunately, your dreams have been cut short. The studios behind the game have taken some harsh decisions, and it might hurt their popularity in the long run.
MultiVersus Says Goodbye to the Support Role, and People Aren’t Happy MultiVersus makes a controversial decision that could bite them back later on.
MultiVersus finally is nearing its full release after almost a year of waiting. Not only did we get a brand-new trailer, but leaks are spilling out left and right. One leak, however, has left a sour taste in fans’ mouth.
According to the X/Twitter account MultiverSusie, the game is completely getting rid of the Support role that it had.

Nickelodeon and Disney might come to mind when you think of great kids shows. After all, both networks have been producing programming for kids for decades.
Despite that fact, both companies have been under fire in recent years, particularly Nickelodeon, following the release of the Quiet on Set documentary.
Here is the perfect list if you want to expose your kids to some great shows that are not associated with either company.
Hanna-Barbera Classics (Various)
The Hanna-Barbera cartoons are classics that kids and adults of all ages can enjoy together. Many of them are geared toward children but include jokes to amuse adults.
Founded by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in the late 1950s, Hanna-Barbera Productions produced 249 cartoon series between the 1950s and 1980s. Many of those have since become beloved classics.
A personal favorite of mine is Scooby Doo, and many fans share my love for the crime-solving dog and his Mystery Inc.

Jake Gyllenhaal is still basking in his fame after the success of Road House, and pop star Sabrina Carpenter continues to make waves online after her viral hit ‘Espresso’, but put them together in a show and fans get one night of a blast. The Southpaw star was the lead guest host on Saturday Night Live while the singer was featured as the musical guest.

They both appeared in a sketch as Scooby-Doo characters, with Gyllenhaal starring as Fred and Carpenter as Daphne, as the gang investigates and explores a haunted house that soon took a bloody turn after Fred got a bit too serious. It only ran for 3 minutes, but the audience already became fans.

"Saturday Night Live" might be a late-night show in New York, but since it airs before 10 p.m. in some regions it has to abide by the FCC's quirky rules on "indecent and profane" content. Swearing is a capital crime; in 1981, Charles Rocket was fired immediately after he accidentally dropped an F-bomb on air. Sex and nudity are also big danger zones; the 1988 sketch "Nude Beach" with Matthew Broderick, in which the word "penis" is uttered dozens of times, was permitted to air following a fierce debate within NBC's Broadcast Standard Department, and resulted in 46,000 complaints and the loss of multiple sponsors.
Fortunately for this "SNL" season 49 finale sketch, which stars guest host Jake Gyllenhaal as Fred in a twisted spin on "Scooby-Doo," violence on TV is basically a blood-soaked free-for-all with almost no limits.

We’re about due for a new live-action Scooby-Doo movie, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Sabrina Carpenter are happy to hop into the Mystery Machine.
On this week’s SNL, host Gyllenhaal and musical guest Carpenter co-starred in a Scooby-Doo video short as Fred and Daphne, with Mikey Day as Shaggy and Sarah Sherman as Velma, along with a CGI Scooby. The gang searched a spooky haunted house for “the Shadow Phantom,” capturing the villain after Scooby knocked a suit of armor onto him. In typical Scooby fashion, Fred tore off the Phantom’s mask to reveal (gasp!) Old Man Franklin.

A parody of Scooby Doo turned bloody on SNL Saturday, with host Jake Gyllenhaal subbing in as the toe-headed Fred while musical guest star Sabrina Carpenter guest starred as Daphne.
Dubbed “Scooby Doo and the Mystery of the Shadow Phantom,” the skit featured Fred investigating a haunted mention with Daphne, Velma (Sarah Sherman) and Shaggy (Mikey Day). An animated Scooby Doo helps to catch the phantom they were looking for, who turns out to be James Austin Johnson as Old Man Franklin.
But Fred thinks Old Man Franklin isn’t who he says he is, so he literally pulls off the skin from the face, leaving behind a bloody skull that sends everyone into a screaming frenzy.
Scooby, meanwhile, dives right in and eats the skin.

On October 19, 2023, the first episodes of the sci-fi animated series Scavengers Reign by directors Joe Bennett and Charles Huettner premiered on Max.
The project grew from the short film Scavengers into a full-blown animated series about the crashed crew of a cargo ship. On a breathtakingly beautiful and carnivorous planet, the characters are forced to adapt to life alongside merciless parasitic organisms.
The great beauty of Scavengers Reign is that under the guise of a survival story, Bennett and Huettner offer an entire world structured like an unpredictable machine. The planet lives a life of its own – so enchanting and eerie that you can watch it endlessly.
The animated series is an unusual and exciting experience. With a minimum of dialogue, it asks a maximum of questions.

With MultiVersus returning later this month, WB Games and developer Player First Games appear to have started dropping more incentives for players to return to the game. That involves revealing The Joker as the latest playable character to join the upcoming free-to-play platform fighter, with the legendary Mark Hamill returning to voice the character.
The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer, which appropriately sees Batman (who’s already in MultiVersus) confronting The Joker, who drops a little reference to the version portrayed by Jack Nicholson in 1989’s Batman. No word yet on The Joker’s abilities or moveset just yet.
The Joker joins the aforementioned Batman as well as Harley Quinn in MultiVersus, along with Shaggy and Velma from Scooby-Doo, and Gizmo and Stripe from Gremlins. Again, here’s hoping that the rumour regarding Eleven from Stranger Things, Godzilla and Beetlejuice joining the MultiVersus roster turns out to be true.

Back in November, Mark Hamill told fans at Fan Expo San Francisco that he would no longer be portraying the Clown Prince of Gotham.
Despite being considered by many to be the best Joker of all time, Hamill believed he just couldn't play the role unless it was opposite Kevin Conroy's Batman. Conroy, who voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman across several projects, passed away in November 2022.
But it seems there was a little caveat that allowed for Hamill to reprise the iconic villain role one final time in an upcoming game called MultiVersus. As it turns out, prior to his passing, Kevin Conroy also voiced Batman in the fighting game. It's perhaps for this reason that Hamill made an exception to his previous statement and returned to the role of Joker in the game.
For those unfamiliar, MultiVersus is a free-to-play platform fighter, in the same vein as Nintendo's Super Smash Bros.

Can you imagine a world where the cheeriest of childhood memories intersect with heart-wrenching twists? It’s hard to believe, but Velma’s brutal death isn’t the first time a lead Scooby-Doo character has met a grim fate. Season 2 of Velma concluded with a perplexing scene involving Scrappy-Doo.
Starring Mindy Kaling in the voice role, Velma is an animated series that expands on the Scooby-Doo universe. Viewers were taken aback when Scrappy-Doo was exposed as Velma’s killer in the season two finale of Velma.

While fans of the series were left in disbelief at the loss of such a central character, this was not the first time a lead Scooby-Doo character has met their untimely end. For fans who had weathered the emotional storm of Scooby Apocalypse #25, Fred Jones’ death was more than just a surprise; it was an earth-shattering moment that left fans in disbelief.

Scooby-Doo, the infamous cowardly dog, and his gang of mystery solvers are a beloved part of our childhood. Having started as a cartoon, it has led to several sequels, cross-media adaptations, live-action, and more, and thus, has become no less than a cultural phenomenon today.

Yet, not all reboots, crossovers, or even characters have been as successful among fans. And for the past year, it has been the animated reboot Velma that has been drawing the wrath of Scooby fans. In a surprising turn of events, the most hated character of the mythos, Scrappy-Doo, seemed to have redeemed himself by killing another most hated character of the franchise, Velma!

Seems like the question “Scooby-Doo, where are you?” soon will become very unnecessary — we know that it’ll be on Netflix.
The recent news concerning the fan-favorite cartoon franchise has just made it officially clear that Netflix is planning a big live-action reboot for Scooby-Doo’s story. The previous attempt to revive the story of detective teenagers with a troublemaking dog was made by HBO back in 2023 and eventually turned out to be a flop.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, for Scooby-Doo's new installment Netflix is teaming up with its frequent writer and producer Greg Berlanti famous for his work on the streaming’s hits like Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and You.
No significant details about the upcoming remake have been revealed yet, but the show is described as “live-action update of the classic cartoon” thus making it unclear whether it will have connections with other live-action installments of Hanna-Barbera’s beloved story.

Scooby Doo and the Mystery Inc gang are heading back to the small screen in a live action series for Netflix, here are the details.
Jinkies: Netflix has ordered a live action Scooby Doo television series. No casting details have been confirmed, but we do know (thanks to a Deadline report) that it will be written by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg – the same Scott Rosenberg who penned Con Air, one of the greatest action films of the 1990s.
This isn’t, of course, the first time Hanna Barbera’s cartoon has been reworked in live-action. Long before James Gunn took creative control of the DC Extended Universe, he was a prolific screenwriter, and arguably his most successful films, at the box office at least, were 2002’s Scooby Doo and 2004’s Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
The films brought the classic cartoon to life with a pitch perfect cast – Matthew Lillard...

The classic Scooby-Doo team is brought back in a mature-rated TV setting for Velma behind Mindy Kaling, giving fans a unique look at Velma Dinkley's origin story.
Although Season 1 garnered awful reviews (including a dismal 7% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes), Max renewed the series for a second season, which arrived on April 25.

Fire up the mystery van because Netflix is about to close a deal for a live-action TV series based on the Hanna-Barbera animated series Scooby-Doo.
Sources say that the live-action Scooby-Doo project has a script-to-series commitment, which, assuming the script hits the right buttons, would mean it would receive a straight-to-series order. Josh Appelbaum & Scott Rosenberg (Cowboy Bebop) are set to write the series, as well as produce alongside André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner through their Midnight Radio banner. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce the project via their Berlanti Productions banner.

Greg Berlanti and Netflix are going for a ride in the Mystery Machine.
The streaming giant is near a deal for a live-action TV series based on the beloved Hanna-Barbera animated cartoon Scooby-Doo. The project has a script-to-series commitment at Netflix, meaning if the script is well received, it would trigger a straight-to-series order for what is considered a live-action update of the classic cartoon.
Reps for Netflix, producers Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions declined to comment, as a deal has not yet formally closed.
Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg — who previously adapted Cowboy Bebop for Netflix and High Fidelity for Hulu — are attached to pen the script and exec produce via their Midnight Radio banner’s André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner. Berlanti and his Berlanti Productions partner Sarah Schechter will exec produce alongside the company’s Leigh London Redman. Berlanti Productions’ Jonathan Gabay and Midnight Radio’s...

Whether the internet likes it or not, Velma is back for Season 2. The adult animated series, which first premiered on Max in 2023, returns with another round of mysteries and hijinks on Thursday, April 25.
Created by Charlie Grandy, the show is an alternate universe origin story that reimagines the Scooby-Doo gang as high schoolers. It centers on sarcastic teenage detective Velma (Mindy Kaling) and her friends Fred (Glenn Howerton), Daphne (Constance Wu), and Norville (Sam Richardson), aka Shaggy. Scooby-Doo himself notably doesn’t appear, in part due to rights issues between the studios.

More and more sports teams and distributors are offering alternate broadcasts as the 2023-24 NHL and NBA seasons conclude.
How hard is Batman’s slapshot? Can Daffy Duck hit the five-hole? However improbable these questions seem, it appears they’re about to be answered! TNT Sports has announced that on Sunday, April 14, it will present an animated alternate broadcast of an NHL game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights. The game will feature animated characters like Bugs Bunny, Shaggy, and Superman taking the place of NHL players and mirroring their actions on the ice in real-time, and it will allow Warner Bros. Discovery to flex its muscles and take full advantage of its ability to offer sports on multiple platforms.

CBS’s Tracker season one episode seven opens with a young woman (Dianne Doan) attacked in an alley. She’s a much better fighter than her assailants and is on the verge of escaping up until the moment one of the men pulls out a gun.
The woman turns out to be a friend of Bobby’s named Sun Mai, and Colter (Justin Hartley) rushes to Chicago to investigate her abduction. Bobby (Eric Graise) is on the scene too, and fills Colter in on Sun. It turns out she’s a rising Mma star and quite a skilled fighter. Bobby explains the last time she was seen was on Monday after she finished her workout. She left the gym via the back alley exit.

Starting my official petition for Billie to show up intermittently for the rest of the season on various cases to mess with Colter!
Tracker Season 1 Episode 6 had Colter out of the element we're used to seeing him in, meaning he had a full-fledged partner that wasn't Reenie and was instead a fellow reward-seeker.
The two had a complicated past that had them dancing around one another all hour in their quest to land a ridiculous reward.
People aren't the only things Colter will find! If there's a reward amount attached to it, and as we've learned, it doesn't matter how big or small, Colter is interested in helping.
A missing horse is actually right up Colter's alley with his tracking skills, and with the potential for an insane payday, he was ready to jump right in to find Argo ahead of a big race.
But he wasn't expecting to have...

Disgraced ex-congressman George Santos may have been expelled from the House of Representatives on Dec. 1 by a vote of 311-114 — but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the story for the alleged serial grifter and sometimes drag queen from New York. HBO Films has already optioned The Fabulist, a book about Santos’ rise and fall, for adaptation, with Frank Rich and Mike Makowsky (HBO’s Bad Education) attached to executive produce and Makowsky set to write. As for Santos, public opinion seems to think he’ll find a future on Dancing with the Stars — so much so that the show trended on X alongside news of his historic expulsion.

Multi-talented actor & horror queen Ayvianna Snow returns with a raft of hotly anticipated new films, including How To Kill Monsters, Punch & Wrath of Dracula.
Ayvianna stars as Velma in the award-winning How to Kill Monsters, a film described as a love letter to the 80s and 90s horror movies the Director Stewart Sparke (Book of Monsters) grew up watching.
