'''Producer Guy:''' We're completely changing the original characters and not having Scooby-Doo in it and also mocking the original show itself, so its not really for fans of Scooby-Doo. \\

->''"I have never been able to decide on a target audience," admits [creator Matt] Bozon. "She's too sexy to be a kid's brand, but looks too girly to be a male gamer brand (depending on who you talk to)." Just as Creator/{{Atlus}}' RPG ''VideoGame/{{Rhapsody|AMusicalAdventure}}'' failed on the adult-oriented UsefulNotes/PlayStation for being too cutesy, ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' was perhaps a little risqué for [[UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor a handheld]] that had come to be seen as a kids' machine in the wake of ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}''.''

->Okay I have to ask - who or what was ''Ring'' made for? The dialogue and theme seem way, ''way'' too heavy for kids but there are so many certified ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' moments too, all while telling [[Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung a German opera]] of fantasy story in a science fiction skin [[AdaptationDeviation with large parts of the story either removed or completely changed]] to make the game go forward. The budget on display is so high for what this is, but even now knowing the story of ''Ring'' and getting the gist of what is supposed to be happening in scenes, it's still a lot of nonsense if you don't know the story. It becomes impossible to follow and don't forget these are stories inside a story which is even more of a fever dream that's never elaborated on. Playing this without context actually made me feel crazy in a way no other game has quite captured. There are games that are frustrating or hard or convoluted. This is an a Necronomicon that makes sense to somebody. I would love to know what the plan was, like, who was the target audience?

->Who was this movie intended for? No one above the age of reason will be able to abide it. Of those below that age, the studio may have targeted kids who are Nintendo fans. But here the problem is that the movie doesn't have much Nintendo in it, and some of that is wrong (when it's announced, for example, that the third level of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been reached, the movie screen clearly shows the first level).

->Fans take a moment to whisper a question to the Lord about where the money is in resurrecting [[WesternAnimation/ReBoot an old, beloved thing]], but [[OldGuardVersusNewBlood targeting said thing at people who do not know the thing]], while [[InNameOnly actively upsetting those that do]].

->Stop giving these beloved [=IPs=] to people, showrunners, producers, heads of studios that clearly don't give a fuck about it. What do you hope to accomplish? You don't get the fans of the property. You immediately lose them, you make an enemy out of them. You also don't get the general audience because they don't care about the IP to begin with, it's not, like, strong enough to bring in new eyes, it doesn't have its own legs because it's relying on the safety of the IP's name, and you deliver something half-baked like [[Series/TheWitcherBloodOrigin this show]]. Who are you even targeting?
