History YMMV / VelmaMeetsTheOriginalVelma

* AlasPoorScrappy: It is no secret that the 2023 version Velma isn't a particularly beloved character but seeing her getting [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade brutally slaughtered]] after discovering the AwfulTruth plus TheReveal she was actually the original Velma who has become nothing but a flawed shadow of her original herself after so many recreations makes her final fate rather tragic.

* HilariousInHindsight: Or HarsherInHindsight depending on who you ask. Some months after the release of this short, the now cancelled ''Scooby-Doo! and the Mystery Pups'' promotional material showed that the titular Mystery Pups resembled Fred, Daphne and Velma implying they are dogs in this particular series, as some fans have pointed out, this actually fits perfectly with the story presented in the video, as Scooby turning most of the gang in dogs, including Velma in this reality, could be a reasonable solution to avert the ArmorPiercingQuestion from happening.

** One of the universes shown during Scooby’s explanation is the WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo universe. As several commenters point out, this means that universe was not exempt from [[RestartTheWorld the restarts,]] and confirms that Scooby has killed young children.

* JerkassWoobie: Velma, who starts the video of making a crack about Fred's tiny white dick. However, she spends the rest of the video being terrified by Scooby, loses all her friends and gets murdered.

*** The reason why Scooby returned may not just be due to Norville just happening to find and adopt him, but Scooby deliberately integrating himself into the group to be a PositiveFriendInfluence on Velma and the others, as well to steer the plot into the classic mysteries.

** Twisted as his love is, Scooby still loves the current iteration of Velma despite her flaws, and makes sure to assure her (or maybe himself) of that, explains his situation to her and tries to calm her down before executing her.

* FridgeHorror: The speculation that Scooby himself may be just as trapped in the cycle as everyone else is. As theorised by one of the comments on the video, the original gang could've easily accepted any answer Scooby gave, but he couldn't take that chance because of a big human trait he had; a fear of being known. This fear and arrogance makes the whole thing become a tearjerker, as Scooby inadvertently doomed himself and several innocents in an endless cycle of heartbreak that only began as a result of that ArmorPiercingQuestion, eventually forgetting how to move on.

** As many comments pointed out, a surefire way of never getting asked that ArmorPiercingQuestion would be to stop bringing Velma back. However, despite being an EldritchAbomination [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Scooby loves her too much to do so.]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: While there aren't a lot of these in this animation, the beginning of the animation is surprisingly sweet, as Norville had found Scooby outside the gang's place and didn't hesitate to take him in. It just goes to show that, no matter the iteration, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are still lifelong pals. [[TearJerker Shame this doesn't last long...]]

** The premise of Scooby remaking his universe repeatedly paints [[WesternAnimation/TheScoobyDooShow all]] [[WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo of]] [[WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo the]] [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated reboots]] in a whole new light, all made for Scooby to enjoy spending time with the four people who are his closest companions.

** This animation gives a solid brilliance on why Scooby is not in the 2023 Velma universe. Since the catalyst of every universe resets is always the ArmorPiercingQuestion, Scooby wants to test: What if he's just a normal pup, separate from the team? His intention is to test if no one will ask about how he can talk. Scooby then tries his best to be a non-talking pup and has kept the charade until Norville finds him. But along the way, Scooby has realized just how flawed this Scooby-less universe, so even if he succeeded in his original goal to ensure nobody asked the ArmorPiercingQuestion, he finds another reason why he needs to restart again.

* CatharsisFactor: The moment Velma is finally killed off can satisfy many. Though, to be fair, the brutal method of it can catch some off-guard.

** Scooby-Doo himself. In this animation, he sports soulless eyes, can stand on two legs, allegedly had ALL the remaining ''Velma'' cast KilledOffscreen and has been [[RestartTheWorld rewriting the]] ''[[RestartTheWorld Scooby-Doo]]'' [[RestartTheWorld universe]] in a bid to prevent anyone from questioning his existence to begin with.

* SugarWiki/BetterThanCanon: This animation has been treated this way by many viewers, some seeing it as better writing than the entire ''WesternAnimation/{{Velma}}'' series had, while some see it as a potential clever PlotTwist to the story that could be expanded upon.
