Great point. Sealab 2021, Harvey Birdman, and Space Ghost coast to coast all took Hanna Barbara characters which nobody was doing anything with and elevated them.
My only bone of contention is that canon can be altered, but generally you have to have material good enough to justify the audience overlooking the change. A good artist learns the rules so they can bend or break them and create great art. It's the difference between Kubrick's The Shining and Terminator: Dark Fate. Velma isn't good enough to justify the change to canon.
