Congratulations to Miss Mindy Kaling, who managed to transform four of the most charismatic and likeable characters ever created into four of the most annoying and insufferable characters in history.
Her brain dead interpretation will not ruin the characters, it will just be a shitty, God awful project that she spearheaded. The characters were around long before she was born, and they will survive long after she dies, and her show will be long forgotten and slip into obscurity. The only way it will be remembered is to bring it up to ridicule and mock her. If anything comes out of this, it will be that she will always be remembered for this blunder.
@@BlackGirlMarvel She literally DEMANDED to have Velma turned into the cartoon version of her. All the shitty jokes the show tells were her demand. This talk that Fred on the show is a spoiled white boy who takes credit for other people's work was her idea, which is clearly the opinion of someone who never watched the classic Scooby-Doo. Removing responsibility for this freak show from her is denying reality, pal.
Fred was always a good guy and a good leader. There was no need to tear him down like this! Mindy Kalling must of gotten snubbed by a "Fred" in school, and this is her revenge project.
It’s actually super insulting to make him a man child, when, if anything, he was actually the manpower of the whole group, creating all the traps they need to catch the villains.
it is always THAT bad when any show reveals signs of these weirdo agendas in their trailers. Now you know why most people hate on these type of shows... you all should have learned with Rings of Power and She Hulk
I am convinced that this show was *mathematically calculated* to piss everybody off. Seriously, there is no other explanation as to how this show could be this bad
My biggest issue is this show basically saw how well done the Harley Quinn show was done. Especially when it came to the satire of the characters. And this show took all the best parts of that show and made….this. It’s really upsetting cause they definitely could’ve done a fun satire on this show. But this is just like a weird Mindy revenge porn fantasy. NO ONE IS LIKABLE! Also why is shaggy not named shaggy? 😭
I just noticed in the 4 episodes there is no mention of his nickname shaggy, instead it looks like they are sticking with his actual name.😅 Maybe it would come up as an alternate name for himself during his streams since he's a youtuber who knows. What people should fund is the group who made their own live action version of Scooby doo on youtube that was really good
The Harley Quinn show was done good? Are you fucking kidding me that show was an abomination and this is coming from a person who has a tattoo of Harley Quinn on his forearm
I have a theory that they are trying to make the moment where Norville becomes known as and starts acting at least somewhat like Shaggy to be some big reveal.
@@deirdrestatham5730 I assume that since the writers clearly exist in this headspace of watching WAY too many movies and TV shows to be able to make so many reference jokes and invocations of meta humor, they just... don't understand how obscure most of it is.
You know the sad thing? Parts like the girl coming out of the bathroom stall, going to the sink while everyone paused show that they could have made something a lot better than they did.
This must be a version of Scooby Doo from another universe or something. There was a glitch in the matrix and somehow ended up in our reality. Right? Because, damn. Whoever green-lighted this show must be insane.
Maybe in this universe, right before preteen "Norville" was about to meet Scooby the stray puppy, preteen Velma ran Scooby over while joyriding in her parents' car. Then she turned to the camera and said, "Gee, if this were a movie, that dog would've been important to the plot in an alternate universe! But f@$% that universe, it's gatekeeping me from having fun!"
Because like most woke bombs, like Santa Inc., the show treats itself as the climax to plot lines existing in the real world. To the writers, the Velma/Daphne kiss had decades and decades of "real build up." But the harsh truth is that while yes, these imaginary worlds and stories aren't real, fanfiction is _even _*_less_*_ real._ Anyone who watched the original shows and didn't share the headcanon of the new show's writers comes into it with normal expectations and leaves confused and frustrated. I wonder who Mindy Kaling's actual Daphne and Fred were when she was a kid. I wonder if whatever girl she always wanted to kiss is out there, living her life somewhere, unaware that her old schoolmate is playing out these deep sexual fantasies about her on the world stage.
Great reaction. Early on you said it look like they wanted to make a TV show and the executive said no, then they said let's make it Scooby-Doo related. That's what it feels like to me.
Yeah, people don't understand that they will keep making garbage like this, if people keep hate watching it. They don't care about the press if the numbers come out in their favor. So they intentionally try to trigger hate watching.
It's not even for hate watching at this point. Even hate watch numbers aren't enough to justify these shows. It's about killing off everyone's connection to popular culture touchstones of their youth so they're less rooted in the present making their future more delectable to what they want.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, I think it would have been largely ignored so maybe spared the backlash. Most people are upset because it's just the last straw into turning well-known franchises into woke abominations.
The problem is, this story wouldn't still be good even if it wasn't part of the Scooby Doo franchise. The plot is inconsistent and the mystery part feels shallow (the law system of this series is total crap since a person saying they "could have" done the crime is enough to prove them guilty). Most of the characters are mean-spirited with no likable personality traits. The "comedy" part isn't funny and relies on stereotypes or lazy meta humour (as somebody said: "just because you acknowledge your writing is shit doesn't change the fact that your writing is shit"). People wouldn't have hated it as much but it would still have been a bad show.
OMFG THANK YOU. I thought I was crazy about the Candyman movie because of how everyone reacted to how I felt, especially as a black woman. I watched to be scared just as much as get the message and we didn't see him at all. You expressed it perfectly!
You know how some black people can be, we can't criticize any of our own people to encourage them to be better without being called a Hater or a Coon. It's so stupid. People only liked the candyman sequel because it was basically a black movie.
Exactly I felt the same way, the new version was thoroughly underwhelming. I don't know who or why they think that we need race as a main topic in films constantly.
@@Lilly-ud6qs there's no balance! The last time I saw a perfectly balanced movie between race and genre was Black Dynamite and that was just a wild movie🤣
10:13 A LOT of people think this was an original story that no one wanted to make because it was garbage, so they added the "SCOOBY DOO" IP to sell it. It kinda makes sense.
if this were a new series it could probably work. But like a Scooby, not a chance, basically changed everyone's personality and even turned Velma into someone else
Their "budding romance" is so forced lol. When we watched the original Scooby doo nobody thought of Velma and Dafney that way, not even in a joking way because Velma was a nerdy potato where Dafney was the cute girl who only had eyes for Fred. Now they're acting like they're some kind of item in this show.... Non of them even paid attention to Velma her being the odd one out, Fred and Dafney were into each other looking for excuses to run off with each other, and Shaggy was always out with his buddy looking to avoid scary things and finding snacks with Scooby, Velma was by herself not close to any of them.
I knew there would be some blood and gore in the show from the trailer but I did not expect so much nudity, forced meta humor, and moments that ruin Scooby Doo. I don't know what I expected exactly, just something better than what I saw here. I feel for you, Mello. I'm surprised you made it past the first episode.
fred jones was a golden retriever in a man's body and he always tried to understand other people and be kind espacially in the older movies from zombie island to the vampire in Australia
Didn't you know, cis het white men never do anything out of kindness or good character, it's always for unjust gain and abuse of power. And any that _are_ "good people" are only that way because they had the privilege of a prosperous family tree, which was stolen from people of color. So if they aren't actively making their number one goal simply to shut up, listen, and devote all their stolen resources to elevating minorities, then their "goodness" is really just a selfish front and they are actually _incredibly, unchangeably BAD,_ which we already knew because of their gender and skin color. It's not sexism or racism, I swear! Would you like a pamphlet about Intersectionality?
Mell, you get my like on the video and my respect and gratitude but I can only do the first half with episode 1 of Velma, the show hurts too much. You're our hero
Word of advice, whether to react or just to see it, watch Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated after this. Think of it as detox, an actually good entry in the franchise to cleanse you of this painful experience
I really like the return to the classic opening. I also like that the cuts in the reaction aren't nearly as deep and jarring. It's easier to follow along. I appreciate you covering this one. I had no idea things were this bad. I might have accidentally checked this out, out of curiosity. They seem pretty proud of their meta commentary, and it NEVER lets up. Like the kid in the Spider•Man HISHE I wanted to say, "Stop Narrating!" As usual, your editing is legendary. I don't mind when you insert yourself into the show. I'm not so sure about the creator, though. I agree about your assessment. I think it applies to other reboots, too. Someone has a favorite script/story that they've been carrying around for a long time. They can't seem to get any traction out of it, so they find an old property that the studio owns, and cut & paste the characters in. The old show serves as a bag of puppets, to tell someone else's story.
It's amazing, I didn't think anything could possibly be worse than the "Rings of Power" and "She-Hulk". I shouldn't have underestimated these people's ability to stand on the shoulders of giants so to spit on their heads.
@@jerrylouis8930 Ring of Power was garbage. It's not canon and it comes off more as a fan fiction project and not something Tolkien would actually approve. And She-Hulk was garbage too. Both spent too much time actively trying to spit on the fan base of the original works and established characters all in the name of diversity and female empowerment. Willow just pulled this same crap with the same exact results. It's like hiring someone that hates the source material, but expecting them to do it justice and bring in both new and old fans.
@@havec6866 I said ONE of them was good, and two of them are artistically valid. Any of them are more entertaining than the sanctimonious attitude you have brought to this thread.
@@akiraxtreme sanctimonious. No one cares. All I wanted from She-Hulk was for her to walk around being She-Hulk, not my perfect fantasy of She-Hulk. (Because healthy individuals have no perfect fantasies of She-Hulk.)
If this is meant to appeal to the group I think it is, that is a swing and a miss by the widest margin I have ever seen. Edit: Also, looking at the thumbnail, I sincerely thought that was a bottle of olive oil lol
What sucks is with this show being crap is that they most likely won’t allow another adult theme, like why couldn’t they have done Scooby-Doo gang v. Ghostface or a straight up murder case
You want my thoughts on the show? See the "hit that director in the face" scene from Tropic Thunder... Yeah, I'm feelin' a whole lot of Les Grossman vibes towards this.
Man what they've been doing to everyone's childhood Heroes and childhood favorite shows and stuff is just sad disrespectful and disgraceful I feel like they do it now just to make people mad just to be trolls with money making Troll shows
It's not even just to make money. They want to kill everyone's connection to pop culture touchstones of their youth. Destroy people's connections to their past and they have less to root themselves to in the present so they can have their futures more directed.
Seeing Mell start talking after five seconds of the intro, only for that intro to drag on for another forty whole seconds was delightful. Fuck this show. If Mindy Kaling has a career after this fucking disaster, I'll be amazed.
the only idea Mindy Kaling had was "why not make Velma and indian girl like me?" and then the ideas stopped there. i really like the character designs, especially Norville. but he is such WASTED POTENTIAL.
I'm less concerned about their races being changed, and more with their attitudes being a VERY far cry. Although actually, that does make the race-swapping look much worse.
The problem with doing a dark and edgy remake of Scooby Doo is that road has been throughly tread and mastered by the likes of Mystery Inc, Scoobynatural and The Venture Bros... Velma simply brings nothing new to the table but acts like it's blowing your mind...
Wait wait let me get my shot glass cheers 🍻 lol and I also got my water lol😂 but seriously I’m at a toss up if I wanna watch it all the way through but I just couldn’t 😂😂 but watching with you worth it 😊😊
I tried to watch this to see what the controversy was all about, but I couldn't even finish the first episode, because I couldn't find any enjoyment in it. maybe I should have tried watching it with some wine too lol but I couldn't drink (pregnant at the time) so I had to just end it 😅

I mean I heard Warner didn't want the character to be associated with an adult show. Boy was that a wise decision!
I knew the show was going to be bad but not this bad.
Just watching the trailer gave me PTSD.
There are people out there that are claiming review bombing 😂
Wokeness is bad
it is always THAT bad when any show reveals signs of these weirdo agendas in their trailers.

To see nearly the entire internet unite against this show gives me hope for humanity, so there’s that.

@@jerrylouis8930 if you truly think any of these 3 shows is good, then I feel bad for you,because you must have watched garbage all your life 😔
@@jerrylouis8930 Ring of Power was garbage. It's not canon and it comes off more as a fan fiction project and not something Tolkien would actually approve. And She-Hulk was garbage too. Both spent too much time actively trying to spit on the fan base of the original works and established characters all in the name of diversity and female empowerment. Willow just pulled this same crap with the same exact results. It's like hiring someone that hates the source material, but expecting them to do it justice and bring in both new and old fans.
@@havec6866 I said ONE of them was good, and two of them are artistically valid.
Any of them are more entertaining than the sanctimonious attitude you have brought to this thread.
@@akiraxtreme sanctimonious. No one cares.
All I wanted from She-Hulk was for her to walk around being She-Hulk, not my perfect fantasy of She-Hulk. (Because healthy individuals have no perfect fantasies of She-Hulk.)
If this is meant to appeal to the group I think it is, that is a swing and a miss by the widest margin I have ever seen.
Edit: Also, looking at the thumbnail, I sincerely thought that was a bottle of olive oil lol
What sucks is with this show being crap is that they most likely won’t allow another adult theme, like why couldn’t they have done Scooby-Doo gang v. Ghostface or a straight up murder case
You want my thoughts on the show? See the "hit that director in the face" scene from Tropic Thunder... Yeah, I'm feelin' a whole lot of Les Grossman vibes towards this.
I feel you Mel: I couldn’t have watched this shit sober either.
Man what they've been doing to everyone's childhood Heroes and childhood favorite shows and stuff is just sad disrespectful and disgraceful I feel like they do it now just to make people mad just to be trolls with money making Troll shows
It's not even just to make money. They want to kill everyone's connection to pop culture touchstones of their youth. Destroy people's connections to their past and they have less to root themselves to in the present so they can have their futures more directed.
@@jessecortez9449 yea in their Direction Maybe.
Looks like Mindy finally broke Mel
This be more like a scooby-verse than anything else where scooby is missing.
you know this was probably made by someone who HATES scooby-doo.
As a kid i just grew up watching Scooby doo but now this is an adult comedy horror
I think it's good that Fred went to prison so he can grow up without people doing things for him.
I am absolutely in awe of how bad this is.
This is what happens when you have show runners who actively hate both the source material and the fan base.
I'm waiting for the real scooby do characters to come out and unmask these frauds.
Wow, just wow. Thanks for stepping up to take this one so we don't have to.
I don't know how you did it mell but you did hbo max should give you an Oscar
10:05 I feel the same exact way about that Candyman remake bro
Me: *See’s the cover of this video* “Yeah. That’s about right.”
Seeing Mell start talking after five seconds of the intro, only for that intro to drag on for another forty whole seconds was delightful. Fuck this show.
If Mindy Kaling has a career after this fucking disaster, I'll be amazed.
This was written by a professional. Someone actually got paid for this. Let that sink in.
11:55 The Velma crushing came after the first movie played by Linda Cardellini.
17:15 *INSERT CAPTION HERE*
1. Mindy must have gotten burned by a “Fred” in school.
2. Mindy must have had a thing for a “shaggy” but they never noticed her.
the only idea Mindy Kaling had was "why not make Velma and indian girl like me?" and then the ideas stopped there. i really like the character designs, especially Norville. but he is such WASTED POTENTIAL.
I'm less concerned about their races being changed, and more with their attitudes being a VERY far cry. Although actually, that does make the race-swapping look much worse.
Totally random but ur Fresh Prince shirt is fucking amazing!!
Man, I never caught that. I love the fresh prince. I just bought all the dvds again recently. I'm gonna get on Ebay and try and get this t-shirt.
4:55 Bro, that off the cuff joke was better than anything in the show
0:45 Oh snaps! This is going to be insane 😂
This show is like Daria just with all the wit, charm, cleverness and relatability sucked out of it.
The problem with doing a dark and edgy remake of Scooby Doo is that road has been throughly tread and mastered by the likes of Mystery Inc, Scoobynatural and The Venture Bros... Velma simply brings nothing new to the table but acts like it's blowing your mind...
Literally had to watch this in stages even though Mell's reactions are amusing.
Mello I’m gonna honest with you: you don’t have to keep watching. We understand.
I love scooby doo mystery incorporated, guess who, and old movies and show of scooby doo better than the new show of Velma
Wait wait let me get my shot glass cheers 🍻 lol and I also got my water lol😂 but seriously I’m at a toss up if I wanna watch it all the way through but I just couldn’t 😂😂 but watching with you worth it 😊😊
I tried to watch this to see what the controversy was all about, but I couldn't even finish the first episode, because I couldn't find any enjoyment in it. maybe I should have tried watching it with some wine too lol but I couldn't drink (pregnant at the time) so I had to just end it 😅
