New "Scooby-Doo" movie portrays Velma as member of LGBTQ+ community

For the first time, "Scooby-Doo's" Velma Dinkley is officially being portrayed as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. The iconic character, known for her witty intelligence and catchphrase "Jinkies!," is shown crushing on another female character in a scene from the franchise's latest movie, "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!"

In a scene from the new HBO Max Halloween-themed movie — which was released Tuesday for rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video — the gang meets costume designer Coco Diablo, who is voiced by actor Kate Micucci. 

Velma quickly loses her train of thought when she sees Coco, noticing the new character's "amazing turtleneck," "incredible glasses," "brilliant" mind and love for animals. Velma then says "Jinkies!" while her cheeks blush and her glasses fog up.
