Another positive thing about the show is that it makes many people appreciate Mystery Inc (an actual adult themed Scooby Doo show that is good) even more.
I have been sitting on this idea since yesterday, but even if the characters are horrible and what they did to Fred is just sad, casting Dennis from It's always Sunny in Philadelphia to be this insecure ego driven rich asshole Fred is a very good choice. Not that it means anything. but something not so horrible at least hahaha
@@premiumdude8353 not exactly. ruining something means the original doesn't exist anymore. yeah this show sucks more than Batwoman but you can just ignore it
I said this on another video but it's true: Mindy Kalling always casts herself as an awkward Indian chick sleeping with a white dude. Like, she hates them, but she also lusts for them. Still, I think they're attacks on a nice character like Fred are so uncalled for and bitter.
Mindy Kaling seem to have a fetish for white men. She doesn't see white men as human beings, but more like objects for her to play with or to use to achieve her own ends.
You forgot that she also is a wannabe popular mean girl lol And the attacks on Fred are because of Mindy kallings racism. We need to call it what it is
Velma comes across as a mean spirited version of the 90s animated series Daria, without the better writing, characters, and social commentary that made the show good. At least in that show, Daria has flaws and she works on them, even if it means getting out of her comfort zone. Velma portrays herself as the ultimate "Mary Sue" and any criticism is marked as someone being called any word that end in "ist".
Comparing this tГa$h to DARIA, is a real insult to the source material. I know you are making the comparison because of the caustic atmosphere, but it was in the series as a clever background. However, going forward, Daria having low self esteem, COMPARED to Velma's SELF LOATHING, is light years apart as writing goes. Even when miss Morgendorffer tries to look less like herself, there is no sexualizing or exposition. Daria has a really edgy personality, but her calm demeanor is a total contrast to Velma's hysterical vitriol. Even her dating was more realistic, well constructed, provided comentary, instead of using the FOURTH WALL TO TRY AND BE CLEVER. Comparing this gargh-ßa9e to Steven Ughniverse, High GuArghdian Spice, Legend of Korrargh, She-rArgh remake, or any of that stomach juice they serve as "adult animation" these days, might be a better choice, placed beside Velma. That sort of stuff will never be sullied enough. Daria has stood the test of time really well, let's not put it side by side with Velma. Daria would beat Velma to the curb, but also get sprinkled top to bottom with all those sewer juices coming from Velma, just by standing in contrast. That aside, your take was fully on point.
im pretty sure mindy wanted to do mindy self insert daria but was given scooby-doo or told no your making a scooby-doo spinoff so mindy just decided to make her self insert daria knockoff and just cram it into a poorly made scooby-doo skinsuit
Mindy's Velma is like if Daria was half as smart and 3x times as vindictive and spiteful. Its like they were trying to go for female Rick Sanchez and forgot that Rick and the other characters are well aware that Rick is a complete asshole.
The characters are 15-16, so yes all the sexualization is just as creepy as it seems. Velma literally uses dude because he's like the one character who drives. Also pretty sure the showrunners did directly state they was 15ish.
If the characters are definitely 15-16, that just makes all the stuff about Fred's junk gross beyond words. Not that it wasn't already, but if it's confirmed that these kids aren't even legal yet, then I'm not exactly sure how the show is getting away with this.
They also seem to be completely out of touch with actual teenagers. Velma in this show has a crush on Don Lemon. Because I'm sure there are so many 15 year old girls watching CNN and fantasizing about Don Lemon.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 because it's making fun of a straight white man AND because the girls being sexualized said it's empowering. Which is some kind of magic protection spell from criticism
This show is just irredeemable. It just seems like it had spawned from Hell itself. Or maybe Velma is much more lower than that. I am starting to despise this world. I already do.
@@ziephel-6780 I feel the same. I think degenerate filth like Cuties, Big Mouth and Velma are pushed onto an unsuspecting public to normalise "minor attraction".
If Mindy Kaling truly is able to identify with the "Velma" of this show; then I want to stay as far away from that woman as possible, and may the lord have mercy on everyone in her life.
@@KuroAceVT I don't know, I always found those more frustating than Velma, because you could see potential story beats that would be good if the writers turned off their feminist mode for a moment (more with Batwoman than with She-Hulk though). Velma is just a motion picture of hatred with nothing salvageable in it.
@@rev.jimjonesandthekool-aid4488 lol no, i’m a indian highschooler girl, and this show is tryi to appeal to us and it isn’t working😂wokeness 100, go woke go broke
No, Mindy Kaling is one of those people who should have a dozen restraining orders and wouldn't be allowed within a hundred feet of a studio. That amount of bitterness, narcissism, outright racism , and complete lack of self-awareness about any of it. You'd have an easier time convincing a termite to take up carpentry than getting Mindy to consider anyone else's opinion worth anything.
Some actors can also write well, but exceedingly few. More often it's like when Patrick Stewart decided he wanted to have some creative control of Picard
Heard someone call out the Velma character and Kaling for perpetuating some Indian girl stereotypes I'd never heard of. Considering how few Indian girl characters I've ever seen, I imagine the "stereotype" is just Mindy Kaling's roles.
@@g-coalitionbrother1729 If her children start driving sports cars through small hilltop Los Angeles neighborhoods at triple digit speeds the circle will be complete.
I find it odd how Daphne’s two mums break into Fred’s house without a permit, assaults him by shooting him in the legs, publicly humiliates him and defamates his reputation only for velma to tell Daphne that velma actually likes Fred,
Mindy Kaling: "I was a complete and utter outcast at high school, constantly shunned by my peers and my crushes which has left scars to this day. This show is my form of therapy"
If she was even 10% like the vile, hateful piece of shit she portrays here, then she deserved to be an outcast. Her classmates were just protecting themselves from that walking toxic waste dump.
I think its also poignant that they made Fred the uber rich one, when it was Shaggy in the original series. (That was the joke in Big Hero 6) So that means that they could not fathom that a black man couldn't be rich and wealthy. That he could have a privileged life. like that. Which honestly just confirms that the writers ARE that racist.
"We love [IP] so much! We're huge fans! That's why we decided to change almost everything about it!" That describes pretty much every reboot over the last decade.
One thing that i "love" About this series. Is how she closes herself in moral circles, for say one, Fred is the prefixed game of the series, to humiliate, to mock, because he is the only white male of the group, but in the series they also say that he never went through puberty, so his physical condition (little ding dong) and his behavior problems are caused by natural underdevelopment, and it's horrible how the series takes note of it and continues to make fun of it Is like how the joke of the show is point fuj at someone with ADHD
@@Adamguy2003 i mean there are shows like family guy or South Park Who pock fun of everyone, including disabled people But this show all that risk is white people jokes So is not fair at all for them
Most likely because s2 was already near-completion by the time s1 came out. I bet s1 ends on episode 13. Seasons used to be 20+ episodes (some over 60, like He-Man and Goof Troop); now they're 12-15 like Japan does it.
@@robinthrush9672 Well, that's because Japan does it by 3-month block of programming. Japan also has year-long series, but they're often targeted towards a younger audience, or like Gundam, which has done two 26-episode halves the last couple series. I'm sure money, quality, and production speed also fits into the equation somewhere. Streaming is a completely different beast, where episode counts can be random.
Seems they are trying to employ some damage control tactics over at Rotten Tomatoes, as the score has been wiped off, "Not enough ratings to calculate a score".
I'd like to point out something about Fred, which if you'd care to consider; Fred is downright TERRIFYING in his strength. Remember in episode 1 or 2, when kids were insulting Velma for changing her looks and he came up to her defence? He grabbed a thrown collapsible chair and yeeted it to the wall with enough force that, AFTER IT BOUNCED, it cleaved clean through someone's leg -the STRONGEST bone in their body. Excuse me but... WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?! We're talking a PREBUBESCENT CHILD. He doesn't have the hormones that grow muscles. Yet he has INHUMAN strength. He competes on equal terms with jocks of his age. When he goes through puberty, he's going to be a BEAST. We know now why Fred only set traps instead of getting into fights. He took pity on the monsters.
I think it's more of a 'comedic effect' à la 'Happy Tree Friends' style (but in that show it worked because it was coherent albeit gruesome, here it is not). In Episode 4 Velma bullrushes through several pedestrians and one of them is seen flying high at rooftop level and beyond.
Minor correction here but what Fred threw was a paper cutter, and the blade arm came off when it hit the wall and rebounded back, but I agree otherwise.
Um, it was a paper cutter. If you're going to be triggered get your facts straight or you'll come across sounding like the undesirables who made this show.
I thought Sabrespark would be the full stop on the universally poor reviews of this show, but there was no way I was going to miss this one. Bravo, as usual.
No way. Cartman is way more redeemable than this Velma. He's saved cats and even sacrificed his own good future for the benefit of others. This version of Velma couldn't bother to care about anything other than complain about white people all the time.
@@JavelinAngel1295 Yeah, like he also become good in season 20, but he did a lot of fucked up shit. like at this point Velma doesn't do that much crime, she just being a jerk mostly, like she even haven't kill a person yet. Cartman murder Scott's parents and feed them to him. that just... but Cartman far more likeable than this velma
Calling Shaggy "Norville" is probably the least offensive thing about this series, since that's been established as his actual name for years at this point.
Thank God I never watched this show. This hurts my Scooby Doo loving heart. Things like this makes me happy that there's a tiny chance that WB could go broke. Disgusting pigs.
I used to love Scooby doo as a kid and would watch with my little cousins when I was a bit older but it was still a good time! I won’t let this tarnish those memories
The "woke"/social justice warrior part isn't the worst part either,the show has s*xual themes related to kids on it,this is a issue that should be addressed more often in reviews and comments sections of "Velma"
lol, no it isn't about woke being bad. You can design plenty of good woke stuff if the writers are talented. The X-Men comics were very woke for their time, essentially having a ton of parallels to the civil rights movement. Star Trek ever since it's creation was very woke. People will watch and love woke if it's well-written. And honestly the same goes for any theme. You can push monarchy and dictatorship over democracy if you frame it right, and if you've written it well, the audience will be cheering for the heroic dictator trying to save his misguided people from themselves. Good writers can do a story about almost anything, and you'll probably like it. But these shows are written by utterly talentless hacks who couldn't push a narrative if it slapped them in the face. They fail at pushing their own message, often even contradicting the themes they're going for. I'm convinced you could give these writers the most softball theme like "America versus terrorists" and they'd have you rooting for ISIS in the first 5 minutes. They're just that terrible.
Daaaaaamn. I’ve seen almost every review of this show on YT, and while they all basically come to the same conclusion, your opening monologue took the cake! So well said! You earned yourself another subscriber and you deserve many more! 👍🏽👍🏽
You deserve so many more subscribers... I've been watching the most of your stuff since the new year (Blood Origin was my first video) and you are actually hilarious, tough AND fair. Looking forward for more. Hi from Czech Republic! :)
That long pause was perfection. And yeah, it feels like the people who made this show were proudly spraying the worst aspects of themselves onto the screen
I guessed you'd have something to say about this shitshow. While I do not enjoy your suffering, your ability to review things with such vitriol is fun to watch.
By the time this series is done it’s gonna take a long time to air out it’s stench, personally I think a Scooby-Doo series in the Persona universe would do just the trick to make us forget about this trash. Also it should be noted that Puss In Boots: The Last Wish pulled off showing what a panic attack actually looks when Puss himself is coming to terms with the literal personification of Death hunting him down and compare that to Mindy’s self insert who’s “panic attacks” look like she’s just having a bad trip.
I am convinced that Velma is just Mindy's teenager wet dream of doing a 3way with Fred and Daphne. This show is utterly disgusting, and it well deserves all the shit it's getting
The pendulum swings back and forth, it was just stuck at one end for a VERY long time and it's swung the other way, but it won't be stuck at this end for nearly as long.
This is the rant I needed! I love Scooby-Doo and it is so disrespectful how Mindy and her minions destroyed such an iconic show. I don't think any of them have ever seen Scooby-Doo.
Velma as a show COULD HAVE WORKED. (Calm down and hear me out). A mean spirited origin story like this could ONLY work if you had a new character. Imagine This character being Velma's cousin or something. This cousin is an outsider looking in on the Scooby Gang and has a very warped view of the group. That would actually makes sense in what we are seeing in Velma. I would even go as far as this Velma's Cousin character could be a life long Villain that no one knew was pulling all the strings for so many years since this person hates this group of kids so much.
The only thing that is amazing about this show is that is got the worst ratings on IMDb or rotten tomatoes. I saw a few minutes and had to turn it off. It was like poking my out out with a hot ice pick.
I think what is actually impressive is that this show had managed to get so universally hated that no side would even say they liked it. Is so hated that even mainstream media (who more times then not would try to defend this kind of show) is even saying how bad Velma is.
After an entire year of witnessing multiple promising and unique cartoons like Infinity Train and Inside Job get canceled early and even erased entirely from the internet, this show finding success overnight genuinely feels like a slap in the face to anyone who enjoys and respects animation as both entertainment and as a storytelling medium.
Screw the Golden Globes and the Oscars. We need an awards show for our poor, mentally broken down, traumatized and tormented heroes who review this trash for us!!! Every time I'm thinking.......this sh*t can't get worse.......a new bottom is found in the septic tank! How do you do it?!! Amazing review!
I absolutely LOVE how streaming services are doing crap like this. They are responsible for their own downfall. This leaves the door open for DVD and Blu-ray to come back. I say, bring back the video stores
The office was not a success because of Mindy Kaling. The Office was a success because of the writing of Greg Daniels and BJ Novak. Those two are excellent writers and everything was strengthened because of Michael, Dwight, Jim and Pam and an excellent supporting cast
It’s my very first time watching a video of his and the tension at 17:49 of his stare had me in true suspense, and then ending it with “bitch” was pretty good
Always looking forward to your take on shows and movies fr best channel hope 2023 is the year your channel gets the recognition it deserves Also Velma is the embodiment of every single thing that is wrong in the west and I believe it can go lower than this idk how but they will find a way💀
This show is a whole level of low. Not just for HBO Max, not just for Warner Bros, and not just for animation, but also for the entertainment industry as whole.
100% true Thank you on behalf on the internet True hero, I watched only first ep you saw 4. For me you are definition of a "man with nerves of steel" We salute you
You made it much farther than I did. I noped out after the roaches. Never even got to the intro. I just knew at that point I wasn't interested in seeing any more. Hearing about the contents of the episodes just reinforces my choice. I can't believe this got greenlit at all. Glad to hear _TLOU_ 's adaptation is well-written, though. Especially after everything I heard about _TLOU 2_ . I've pretty much given up on Western 'entertainment,' except maybe for Sony's _Spider-Man_ . And I might not particularly have strong positive feelings for that if _Across the Spider-Verse_ makes Jessica Drew websling while pregnant, like the comics did: there's nothing more dangerously irresponsible you can do than drag your unborn child into situations where you _know_ they'll be kit by any weapon or power. I... do not have high hopes.
I personally love those bad shows types, this and high guardian spice, they both weirdly create communities around hating them, and on their own, they pretty much turn into weird public universities of what not to do in an animation. I can only thank them for doing things bad enough that they are worth learning about as an animator. Also, the fact such shows have such a massive budget and high leveled talents behind them, it both serve as catharsis that big things can utterly fail, and that as a tiny youtube animator, I can fail less badly. I would be happy to have more of those bad shows, just for the sake of learning from them about mistakes, target audience, the power of anger and how communities are formed around horrid things. It's such a catastrophe, that it's magnificent! It's not the "So bad it's good" genre. It's the "So bad it's educational" genre.
Thanks for taking one for the team. I feel sorry that you had to experience it. Hopefully it does get removed and maybe, just maybe, we get a miracle and that chick has to make an apology to the fans for destroying their beloved show.

Um, it was a paper cutter. If you're going to be triggered get your facts straight or you'll come across sounding like the undesirables who made this show.
@@jasonl1942 Ngl you’re sounding exactly like those undesirables right now.
@@sorakh4119 now you are too.... omg now I am 😨
I thought Sabrespark would be the full stop on the universally poor reviews of this show, but there was no way I was going to miss this one. Bravo, as usual.
This version of Velma makes Eric Cartman look like a damn saint.
Na, cartman still worse. But i want to lock in a room with cartman rather than this velma.
No way. Cartman is way more redeemable than this Velma. He's saved cats and even sacrificed his own good future for the benefit of others. This version of Velma couldn't bother to care about anything other than complain about white people all the time.
@@JavelinAngel1295 Yeah, like he also become good in season 20, but he did a lot of fucked up shit. like at this point Velma doesn't do that much crime, she just being a jerk mostly, like she even haven't kill a person yet. Cartman murder Scott's parents and feed them to him. that just... but Cartman far more likeable than this velma
Calling Shaggy "Norville" is probably the least offensive thing about this series, since that's been established as his actual name for years at this point.
Wow!
Stumbled across this less than 30 seconds after upload.
Let's see how high Velma can raise Thorias' blood pressure!
He trained with She-Hulk, therefore I hope he can endure Velma too...
@@maurizioginanneschi9402 His Batwoman reviews were great, too.
Thank God I never watched this show. This hurts my Scooby Doo loving heart. Things like this makes me happy that there's a tiny chance that WB could go broke. Disgusting pigs.
I used to love Scooby doo as a kid and would watch with my little cousins when I was a bit older but it was still a good time! I won’t let this tarnish those memories
@@homielander5924, same here. I loved watching What's New Scooby Doo and those classic animated movies. Like Cyber Chase and Pirates Ahoy.
I watched Scooby Doo when I was young and I’M NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN WATCHING THIS HATEFUL CAPE BUFFALO SHIT OF A SHOW ANYWAY!
"Current day" and "Laziness" exemplified. Don't know why you would torture yourself with this one, but I got this video, so I'm not complaining.
Taking a beloved show and ruining it is the only way they'll get people watching woke aka the Message on TV.
And executives keep handing them beloved shows to mangle.
The "woke"/social justice warrior part isn't the worst part either,the show has s*xual themes related to kids on it,this is a issue that should be addressed more often in reviews and comments sections of "Velma"
lol, no it isn't about woke being bad. You can design plenty of good woke stuff if the writers are talented. The X-Men comics were very woke for their time, essentially having a ton of parallels to the civil rights movement. Star Trek ever since it's creation was very woke. People will watch and love woke if it's well-written. And honestly the same goes for any theme. You can push monarchy and dictatorship over democracy if you frame it right, and if you've written it well, the audience will be cheering for the heroic dictator trying to save his misguided people from themselves. Good writers can do a story about almost anything, and you'll probably like it.
But these shows are written by utterly talentless hacks who couldn't push a narrative if it slapped them in the face. They fail at pushing their own message, often even contradicting the themes they're going for. I'm convinced you could give these writers the most softball theme like "America versus terrorists" and they'd have you rooting for ISIS in the first 5 minutes. They're just that terrible.
Daaaaaamn. I’ve seen almost every review of this show on YT, and while they all basically come to the same conclusion, your opening monologue took the cake! So well said! You earned yourself another subscriber and you deserve many more! 👍🏽👍🏽
As Count Dooku said: I've been looking forward to this.
And for the writers of this "show": Twice the pride, double the fall.
You deserve so many more subscribers... I've been watching the most of your stuff since the new year (Blood Origin was my first video) and you are actually hilarious, tough AND fair. Looking forward for more. Hi from Czech Republic! :)
Yes. He deserves many more subscribers for the reasons you state. For me it's the humor and the articulateness. And, I do believe he's fair.
This isn't a TV show, it's the thinking process of Mindy Kaling. When you watch this are you reading her mind. It's almost a form of telepathy.
Sorry you had to through this man, put it behind you and go spend a few weeks watching stuff you actually enjoy. you've more than earned it.
I've got the Legend of Vox Machina all queued up. I'm set.
Imagine what it'll be like in 10 years if we can't stop them.
It's just Mindy kaling's self-serving fanfiction no more no less
That long pause was perfection. And yeah, it feels like the people who made this show were proudly spraying the worst aspects of themselves onto the screen
I guessed you'd have something to say about this shitshow.
While I do not enjoy your suffering, your ability to review things with such vitriol is fun to watch.
Allowing Mindy Kaling to be involved, let alone reinvent the main character was the first and most egregious mistake.
This guy’s righteous anger cracks me up.
I'm not usually into angry heated rants, but in this case, it fits like a fist in the eye. Keep screaming, my dude. 👍✨
And in this moment, Thorias realized, how easy he had it with Batwoman and She Hulk.
Avatar: Bends water, air, fire and Earth
Mindy Kaling: Bends race
By the time this series is done it’s gonna take a long time to air out it’s stench, personally I think a Scooby-Doo series in the Persona universe would do just the trick to make us forget about this trash.
Also it should be noted that Puss In Boots: The Last Wish pulled off showing what a panic attack actually looks when Puss himself is coming to terms with the literal personification of Death hunting him down and compare that to Mindy’s self insert who’s “panic attacks” look like she’s just having a bad trip.
Mystery Incorporated is still the best.
The best the IP has been since the 60's.
Your new red backdrop is very fitting for reviewing Velma
Yeah, I thought I needed an "angrier" background for this one.
Normally I would hope for the next Velma review but this time…
I don’t need one. You’re good. Our mental health isn’t worth losing over this shit
I am convinced that Velma is just Mindy's teenager wet dream of doing a 3way with Fred and Daphne. This show is utterly disgusting, and it well deserves all the shit it's getting
"I always identified with this character, so it made perfect sense to change the character in to me." Huh, what??
It somehow makes shehulk look decent 😂
Supernatural did a great episode with the Scooby gang. This went the exact opposite way before setting itself on fire for good measure
That episode was awesome!! Weird but awesome!!
What a sacrifice you made watching this show. Now I know to really avoid this trainwreck.
This show makes Oceans 8 (which Kaling costarred) an Academy Award Best Picture winner.
Good to hear from you again Thorias... I'm only sorry it's at the cost of going through another sh💩tshow! ✊
The pendulum swings back and forth, it was just stuck at one end for a VERY long time and it's swung the other way, but it won't be stuck at this end for nearly as long.
This is current internet hate on the series mixed and seasoned to perfection
on a silver plate
It's true as a Polish person in Canada I often say out loud when ordering food " As a polish person I love Pierogies"
This is the rant I needed! I love Scooby-Doo and it is so disrespectful how Mindy and her minions destroyed such an iconic show. I don't think any of them have ever seen Scooby-Doo.
I'm convinced that every single writer in Hollywood was relentlessly bullied throughout their entire adolescence
Lmao this is my fave critique channel lately. The entertainment level is off the charts, you deserve more subs!!!!
HBO
quality control
hit the iceberg
after the last
3 or 4 seasons of
GAME OF THRONES
Velma as a show COULD HAVE WORKED. (Calm down and hear me out). A mean spirited origin story like this could ONLY work if you had a new character. Imagine This character being Velma's cousin or something. This cousin is an outsider looking in on the Scooby Gang and has a very warped view of the group. That would actually makes sense in what we are seeing in Velma. I would even go as far as this Velma's Cousin character could be a life long Villain that no one knew was pulling all the strings for so many years since this person hates this group of kids so much.
This guy is a hero for hate-watching the entire show without giving up whereas I couldn't even make it past the two minute mark
The only thing that is amazing about this show is that is got the worst ratings on IMDb or rotten tomatoes. I saw a few minutes and had to turn it off. It was like poking my out out with a hot ice pick.
With Velma it’s like they took the worst parts of Rick and morty and family guy then slapped some scooby-doo paint on this trash!
Thorias at his very best. Worth the wait!
I think what is actually impressive is that this show had managed to get so universally hated that no side would even say they liked it. Is so hated that even mainstream media (who more times then not would try to defend this kind of show) is even saying how bad Velma is.
Was wondering when you upload this. Keep up the great work!
After an entire year of witnessing multiple promising and unique cartoons like Infinity Train and Inside Job get canceled early and even erased entirely from the internet, this show finding success overnight genuinely feels like a slap in the face to anyone who enjoys and respects animation as both entertainment and as a storytelling medium.
This wasn’t something I expected
I'll be honest: everything about Velma screams _"Lower Decks"_ in a present day Earth-bound milieu. It's that bad!
Apparently, Scooby took all the entertainment value with him
2:49 The Beverly Hills Cop 4. we never got. 😆🤣
Fascinating to see Thorias, normally so measured, just let loose
its actually really pathetic how toxic mindy’s self insert is. like- if this is mindy, then thats so so sad she thinks like this.
Screw the Golden Globes and the Oscars. We need an awards show for our poor, mentally broken down, traumatized and tormented heroes who review this trash for us!!!
Every time I'm thinking.......this sh*t can't get worse.......a new bottom is found in the septic tank!
How do you do it?!! Amazing review!
You are veeery young if you have never heard of the RAZZIES!
I absolutely LOVE how streaming services are doing crap like this. They are responsible for their own downfall. This leaves the door open for DVD and Blu-ray to come back. I say, bring back the video stores
The office was not a success because of Mindy Kaling. The Office was a success because of the writing of Greg Daniels and BJ Novak. Those two are excellent writers and everything was strengthened because of Michael, Dwight, Jim and Pam and an excellent supporting cast
Umm ever heard of Ricky Gervais?
Modern Hollywood must adapt from the stupid choices it’s been making for the past 8 years or fail and die.
It’s my very first time watching a video of his and the tension at 17:49 of his stare had me in true suspense, and then ending it with “bitch” was pretty good
Well, now we all know what's in Mindy Kaling's spank bank ..... I don't think anyone was asking but she sure as hell told us anyhow.
I’ve been waiting for your review *rubs hands together*
Who is responsible for actually green lighting this garbage? The actual person responsible??
Always looking forward to your take on shows and movies fr best channel hope 2023 is the year your channel gets the recognition it deserves
Also Velma is the embodiment of every single thing that is wrong in the west and I believe it can go lower than this idk how but they will find a way💀
This show is a whole level of low. Not just for HBO Max, not just for Warner Bros, and not just for animation, but also for the entertainment industry as whole.
100% true
Thank you on behalf on the internet
True hero, I watched only first ep you saw 4. For me you are definition of a "man with nerves of steel"
We salute you
Don't worry HBO already green light this 💩 for season 2
I was so hoping you'd cover this one! I can't help but feel that I am enjoying the pain and suffering of others by watching you though!
This Velma show makes CW Batwoman look like an Emmy Award Winner.
Yup and Az just did a video about Naomi's showrunner getting the Daredevil gig.
I despise Disney.
I threw up when I heard about that. Daredevil is doomed.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 Indeed. Born Again. Again! Just to destroy him completely.
You made it much farther than I did. I noped out after the roaches. Never even got to the intro. I just knew at that point I wasn't interested in seeing any more. Hearing about the contents of the episodes just reinforces my choice. I can't believe this got greenlit at all. Glad to hear _TLOU_ 's adaptation is well-written, though. Especially after everything I heard about _TLOU 2_ . I've pretty much given up on Western 'entertainment,' except maybe for Sony's _Spider-Man_ . And I might not particularly have strong positive feelings for that if _Across the Spider-Verse_ makes Jessica Drew websling while pregnant, like the comics did: there's nothing more dangerously irresponsible you can do than drag your unborn child into situations where you _know_ they'll be kit by any weapon or power. I... do not have high hopes.
Some people do enjoy that first episode of TLOU, but apparently episode 2 drops down in the enjoyment factor quite a bit.
I think I'm gonna watch some What's New Scooby Doo to cleanse this dumpster fire of a show from my brain
I knew it was gonna be bad but I never imagined it would be as bad as it is, it's so much worse than I thought.
I personally love those bad shows types, this and high guardian spice, they both weirdly create communities around hating them, and on their own, they pretty much turn into weird public universities of what not to do in an animation.
I can only thank them for doing things bad enough that they are worth learning about as an animator.
Also, the fact such shows have such a massive budget and high leveled talents behind them, it both serve as catharsis that big things can utterly fail, and that as a tiny youtube animator, I can fail less badly.
I would be happy to have more of those bad shows, just for the sake of learning from them about mistakes, target audience, the power of anger and how communities are formed around horrid things.
It's such a catastrophe, that it's magnificent!
It's not the "So bad it's good" genre.
It's the "So bad it's educational" genre.
Been waiting to hear your thoughts on this dumpster fire. I can safely say, I was not disappointed. Great video as always, my man 👍
This comment was mean and uncalled for.
Dumpster fires don't deserve to be compared to this schlock.
Thanks for taking one for the team. I feel sorry that you had to experience it. Hopefully it does get removed and maybe, just maybe, we get a miracle and that chick has to make an apology to the fans for destroying their beloved show.
It feels worse than Batwoman and that says _a lot..._
Not one dislike. Let this be known as the moment we all finally united as one.
The hate this show is getting feels so good and I'm not even ashamed to say that
