* CriticalResearchFailure: InUniverse. The lawyer claims Velma is the youngest of the Dinkleys. This contradicts ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAbracadabraDoo'' with Madelyn (who's taller but younger). To a FridgeBrilliance level in this film's opening scene it even uses a clip from that movie with her in it but then during the credits show a Dinkley family tree without Madelyn. This being because it's a part of the villains' stalker shrine reflecting their error but offers the more clever viewer a clue that something is off. This likely In-Universe clued Velma in as well about the mystery but she doesn't directly call attention to it.
