"Prequels" are a loose term.
They're not technically prequels at all.
I personally don't really consider the 'prequel movies' to be in the same continuity as the other two live action movies. Yeah I know they're considered the 3rd and 4th movie in that series, but matching them up never made any sense to me.
Besides the fact that Velma is obviously asian in the prequels and then caucasian in the first two movies, the timelines also don't really match up. In the first two live action movies the gang is in their late 20's/early 30's in present day. But in the prequel movies the characters are teenagers, but also in the present day. If these were really prequels to the first two movies the characters should have been teenagers in the early to mid 90's, right?

I think more like the 80s.
