It's slightly depressing that a single sentence I read in the comments section is more insightful and meaningful than entire shows written by self-proclaimed "enlightened minds" manage...
If you look at Mindy Kaling's background: rich family, privledged background, ivy league education, no part-time jobs, handed her only jobs in Hollywood out of uni. You realise she has a lot more in common with her version of Freddy than Velma.
Velma was already intelligent and capable on her own. They didn’t need to diminish Fred’s intelligence and other characters’ roles just to make her stand out. God this is just sad.
A clear sign of a bad writer is they can't just elevate a character. They have to tear down another in an attempt to make their character look better. It's not a new thing. Garbage writing like that has been around forever, but it used to be few and far between. Now that incompetence is ignored (even encouraged, it seems) that kind of terrible writing is commonplace.
@@fattiger6957 You mean that writing thing basically if you can make your character competent, you just make the villain incompetent so your character can win against the villain?
She Hulk series: I'm the worst coping session/gripe fest barely disguised as a series. The Mindy Kaling show……… Velma: Hold my beer. Unknown series: Hold my Sake.
There once was a myth about how the Babylonians wanted to build a tower that reached the heavens. It wasn't allowed, so the wise people of today decided that there was no rule against digging a hole deep enough to reach Hell.
Heaven and Hell are real... Is your heart right with God? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. If you will REPENT of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will be saved and your name will be written into the Book of Life. Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. "Salvation Prayer" Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you, to confess that I am a sinner. I have done some things in my life that I am not proud of and I repent of my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that He arose from the grave and that He is alive today. I ask that you forgive me of my sins and come into my heart... I proclaim that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. AMEN...
One thing each of the characters in the original had in common is that they were ultimately kind hearted kids. Making Fred in to a psycho spoiled brat? I mean come on! These creators are as the drinker said, just simply mean spirited and seek to shit on anything good.
It’s not Velma, it’s the Mindy “I got mercilessly picked on by all the means girls in school and now I’m a spiteful and vindictive cow with issues” Kaling show.
No. The real monster was the talking fucking dog the four kids somehow constantly overlooked whilst on their lifelong quest to debunk all supernatural mysteries. :D
Plus all this high school drama crap is way less inclusive and diverse, I barelly understand those because im not from the US and those dramas always seem dumb to me. Switching a group a friend travelling the country to just one town is a huge downgrade
Agree. Is it ironic that I think cartoons that handle mature topics in a respectful way are much more mature than cartoons and Rated R movies that handle mature topics in a disrespectful way?
@@nahuelleandroarroyo bro, nobody understands high school drama because it usually really is either brainless bullying or a result of too much teenie hormones. Same level of reason as in bar fights.
Fred is a humble guy that respects everyone's opinion. Daphne loves Fred and accept his love for mystery. Velma is intelligent and doesn't badmouth anyone in the gang. Shaggy is funny and unique in his own way. Scooby loves his family and his snacks. They literally didn't need to change the characters personal trait, just throw in some new and fresh mystery cases we will be into it.
And nostalgia is a huge marketing tool. Truth is, Scooby was not a great is nostalgia likes to claim. It was always a "B" teir show (at least for me)... It was "Saved By the bell" or "Wings" before those shows existed. Just nothing else to watch, over syndicated show. I thin most of those 'retro" enthusiasm is not even for original scooby, but for rebooted 90's live action scooby. Most of you were not even alive when ORIGINAL Scooby was on. And what I'm saying is that was a host of other things to do back then. Scooby really isn't that great. Scrappy was annoying, and the first "shark" the show jumped.
I know by the fact that any Scooby Doo stuff whether it's sequels or spin off could never work without Scooby Doo in it but I'm glad he's not even in this series. Imagine what the writers could've do to Scooby Doo if he was here 💀
feels good man. The producers thought there will be controversy, but will help them make the show popular. But they didn't expect this kind of backlash LMAO. totally deserved
Looking back, I was bummed that Scooby Doo wasn’t in the show, but in hindsight, that was probably a good thing… Heaven knows what they would’ve done to him in a show like this 😰
Mindy Kaling grew up wealthy to an Architect father and Doctor mother, she went to an Ivy league school and studied Latin, one can only imagine the hardship she's had to face in her life.
Probably had to suffer a semester in a dorm room with another rich roommate until finally her parents put her up in a luxury apartment during the rest of her undergrad.
@@drawmelikeafrenchgirl Who the fuck studies Latin UNLESS they are going to go into whatever the field that involves doing Latin is called, or you being an entitled rich person
It's drawing the haters and the supporters of the groups shown in this show together to shit on it and I absolutely love that. They say finding someone that hates the same stuff as you is better than finding someone that likes the same things as you for any kind of relationship.
Yep. I love subversive female representation in media. Daria, Jessica Jones, and Game of Thrones are just a few examples of shows that have done this well. The women in these shows are nuanced, flawed, and complex. They're human. There are also shows that implement diverse casting with good results. In my mind, race-switching one Targaryen branch in House of the Dragon makes sense. In their vast intercontinental empire, Targaryen intermarriage with non-White rulers would be perfectly feasible. Yes, it's a change from the book, but it doesn't detract from the story. Velma is the complete opposite. It's horribly written, exploitative troll-bait. It's the worst of cynical tokenistic woke-ism that shits all over good representation.
@@burgerkingfries4941 Actually the second time. First time was "Twilight" - not often you get conservatives and George Takei on the same side of an issue.
Mindy Kaling: Self inserts as Velma and mocks rich kids with Fred Also Mindy: Raised by an extremely wealthy family, went to Dartmouth, and immediately landed a job on one of the biggest sitcoms ever made
Her brother has the same level of insanity. He literally pretended to be black to try to get into college... I wish I could make this shit up..he even wrote a book on it... The whole family has some kind of weird issues around race.
Very insightful of you to point out how the original show taught kids that people who were very different could work together and needed each other, while this “diverse” and “progressive” update basically teaches viewers to resent (Fred & Daphne) or exploit (Norville) anyone of a different racial or social group.
But no one is allowed to mention or god forbit defend him or else you're a misogynist who's merely whining because white men aren't the center of attention anymore.
The weird thing is that the original Fred barely had any character to assassinate in the first place. Everything the writers of this reboot did to him is all projection of their own hang-ups about other people they invented out of thin air.
Normally I would watch something just once to see for myself, but I saw enough in the promos and clips to be disgusted. It won't be watched in my home.
And half of social media. I've spend an hour on explaining to one braindead that White people sometimes have naturally curly hair and no, it's not culture stealing. And I didn't spend more as I've lost temper and blocked user.
No the worry part is because the show if getting so much hate, more and more people are checking it out to see just how awful it is, raising its streaming numbers. So even though it may have horrible audience scores, HBO can simply say yeah well look how many millions of people still watched it?
Just take the same show but with its own characters, and it would have a much better chance to work. But of course that's not the same, you have to take something that exists and ruin it, that's the most important part it seems.
So do you not like being reminded that there are minorities and women in the world? Because that's pretty much what your comment is insinuating.... Sounds a little racist and misogynistic
You just need to pick the right stuff, it’s like the music industry, yes we live in a time where people without any musical knowledge or skill on any instrument at all can go number one on the charts and pop music is and has been for the last few decades 99% pure trash, but we also live in times where more people than ever could do music at home without many hurdles and while most of it isn’t noteworthy the amount of great stuff hidden in the haybail is bigger than it ever was, it’s just that the pile of trash surrounding it gives the subjective feeling of seeing only shit being produced The same goes for almost all forms of art, literature, etc It’s definitely harder than ever before to find gold in the pile of shit than it ever was but there is also more gold to be found , keep on searching mate and don’t let these Tards ruin your enjoyment of media
Got to give Mindy Kaling credit for one thing: She'll single-handedly be responsible for the Scrappy-Doo episodes no longer being considered the low-point of the Scooby-Doo franchise. Unless "Velma" is disinherited from the franchise (which it already is for me.)
Let's be honest here, they totally changed her skin colour just to piss off fans and get a reaction so they can virtue signal against the so called "toxic fanbase" again.
maybe. but the other thing is that "velma" is a self insert character for mindy.... who is an egotistical bitch. also a conservative trust fund baby- so i genuinely don't even know who the fuck this show was for besides mindy herself.
the worst part is that they disrespected the original cartoon while the Original creators are now dead, that is trully disgusting to disrespect someones legacy even after their death.
That's bad though, if we do talk about this cancer they make a profit. They didn't even give a single fuck about scooby do, that's why scooby isn't even in his own show. They're sending a message that they ruined the franchise in purpose.
Not me tbh. I legit like it. Not love but i laughed a few times and the animation is good. And i can get past the changed races of the characters. It’s an adaptation they are trying something new
Only the modern left has that ability. But shame on us(sane, non-demonically possessed human beings) for being so complacent for so long as to empower and embolden them to this extreme. I don't even think they care it's despised by 97% of all people, to them it's all about creating new norms and conditioning. They knew the hatred it would conjure up would only be free publicity, absolutely sickening.
This is what happens when you tell Kelly from the office that she is funny and smart and should totally write a TV show where she self inserts herself as the main character into the show.
I couldnt stand her in the office. She was easily the worst written and most annoying character in that show. Makes sense she would create some garbage like this. I seriously dont get how she even got money to make this shit.
I would just love if the moment Mindy Kaling was about to walk in to pitch the script for Velma deadpool traveled back to that point to just shoot her in the head like he did Ryan Renolds in the 2nd deadpool movie when he was about to read the green lantern script, and after doing so simply saying: your welcome Hanna-Barbera! 👍
The real Velma was never mean or anything. She was always happy to help her friends and to also receive their help when needed. No one was mean to anyone in that cartoon because the very point was that it was a lesson about teamwork and the value of using everyone strengths to overcome the mysteries. The only thing the new serie does is that It gives us a good glimpse of how the authors are thinking. Edit : English isn't my language.
@@hankhoses8668 They could still have made an Indian heritage lesbian or bi-sexual character out of her and make her interesting. Making her a snarky, evil bitch though...
Literally me too. I watched Scooby Doo when I was younger and I loved those shows, but I had other shows that I loved more. But seeing these characters change so drastically (talking about character assassination, not their appearance) just disappoints and offends me man. It’s honestly sad and pathetic.
As an aspiring writer, I usually get quite anxious on whether or not my work would be good enough. Then I learned a show like this was greenlit. Now idk whether to feel relieved or insulted that this is the competition
That's precisely correct. The 'creator' has a massive chip on her shoulder because she's not the most important person in the room. Although mostly she hates herself because deep down she knows she doesn't deserve it.
That's because the writers of the OG series were actually good and cared about good characterization. Something too many modern 'writers' don't know how to do.
Even in the movies, when everyone went their separate ways, and eventually met up, they act like they haven't missed a day in each other's company. Kaling really nuetered her series right off the bat.
Yeah, that's something I realized while watching this review: I never questioned why these characters were together, even though their differing backgrounds invites scrutiny. I did question Scrappy-Doo, however.
Seriously, how can anyone still be friends with each other in this version of the story? It seems like they all hate each other, I definitelly would not want any of these clowns by my side.
I think we all now owe Scrappy Doo a great big apology. Edit: Mindy Kalin thought that she identified with Velma, not realizing that she is Toot from _Drawn Together._
The funny part is that Mindy Kaling is a privileged girl who grew up in a rich family. But of course they're always the ones who are the most oppressed and the most angry. She has more in common with her version of Fred than Velma.
So oppressed and such a victim she got a sweetheart admission to an Ivy League University and never had to work a real job for a day, like most activists.
No no no, you don't understand. She is brown and that always means that she is oppressed. When I drive around at work, there is neighborhood that is made up of like 90% indian families or more. It's a really nice neighborhood with big houses. Those people are all victims as well just like Mindy.
She grew up in Cambridge, MA...which for those who aren't familiar with MA...is a very wealthy (white) city. Never worked a real job in her life...when to an Ivy League school... How on Earth can she not relate to the average person???
@@zeked4200 please tell me what is a "real job" if not being a writer/actor in the office...do you only consider blue-collar workers to have "real jobs"???
Shows like Velma and She-Hulk feel like the people in high school who called you "nerdy" for liking cartoons with good storylines went into screenwriting and are trying desperately to capitalize on the popularity of these kinds of shows, but never grew out of their "lol nerd" mindset. And then when the audience hates it, they jump back and say "you're all racist!!" while totally ignoring the key story issues.
I figured it was for 50 year old stoners who still watch the original Scooby Doo. Edit: And plenty of people in the comments correct me. I stand corrected.
@@bunnywithakeyboard7628 A lot of people watched the original Scooby Doo, and the 90s era Scooby, and the early Scooby Doo movies, and just about all of them hate Velma.
Velma was already known as the brains of the group, she’s usually the one that does all the research and figures out who the bad guy is. When they unmask the monster, Velma usually says something like, “Just as I thought” or “Like I suspected.” They didn’t need to dumb everyone else down to make her stand out. Fred was the leader who came up with the plans and traps, Velma was the brains, Daphne was the pretty face and Fred’s love interest, and Shaggy and Scooby were the comic relief/monster bait. Everyone in the group had a defined role that was important to the essence of the show. This show shat on that. Almost the entire Mystery Inc. Gang was race swapped and the only one they left white, Fred, is now the object of ridicule because of his whiteness. None of these characters are anything like their original counterparts except in name, and from what I can tell, there’s no Scooby at all. It’s like the showrunners wanted to give a big middle finger to anyone who ever watched and enjoyed this show as a kid. What a joke. Edit: Hell, this piece of shit show makes all the live action Scooby Doo movies look like Citizen Kane. At least the live action movies managed to get the characters and group dynamic right…
Daphne has always been intelligent and resourceful as well, while breaking the trope of the entitled and mean rich girl because she was always kind to everyone..
Daphne, more than another beautiful face, she is like a McGyber version on Scooby Doo. She know everything to be known of make up and cloths, which make it easier to find the connection to Velma. Velma only made an analysis of the component. Fred, for more of what he apparent, he came up with the decisions and plans just as you said. And Shaggy and Scooby are braver than people think.
There's not a whole lot in this world that could be considered more insulting than to take a beloved legacy character going back decades and turning them into a shameless self-insert. That takes signing one's name on someone else's artwork to a whole new level.
@Anyway, Who Cares? you should do a review of the show espousing its virtues. maybe people just need to see a review like that to understand what a future classic it will become.
I'd say more like Prince Harry given so much but still the victim with a massive and to grind. I doubt the maker Mindy is it ever wanted in her life and many other people involved and this is their interpretation of those who do.
I doubt Mindy was ever bullied that badly. Did she have a blonde rich boy in her high school making salutes and unable to cut his own food? I think she's just a nasty entitled piece of work, surrounded by an industry that loves to ruin things. I have no sympathy for her or her trash products.
The creator is a very bitter old woman who never got as far as she wanted and now is lashing out with this garbage, I’m sure some of the HBO folks buckled because she used all the terms against them, still. For a company who has made actual works of art they should have known better. Morons.
It's professional victimhood because nowadays you can get benefits and even a stable income by playing a victim. I've seen vlogs from someone from my country who showcases how easily you can live for free in england just by acting like you are poor and disgusting while also pretending to be homeless and using other people naivety. I really dislike the phrase "clown world" but it describes our own so well.
@@secretname2670 and thos my friend is the reason why I never give anything to the homeless. Don't wanna risk having them spend money on booze or help someone who's pretending to be homeless
@Ruby star i know you won't underatand a word, but here is a less recent summary of what they did th-cam.com/video/J2O_1giuvHs/w-d-xo.html and how are they living, i don't usually watch pathologic videos (they are called that in poland) because i'm frankly not interested in these people, but they do exist, they do abuse the system and they won't stop because it's just easier that way
Seriously, there's nothing good or redeemable about this mean spirited shit heap. It's not just cringe, it's depressing to watch. There's a segment in the show where Norvile (Black knock-off shaggy) was confessing his feelings for Velma and the entire bit revolved around mocking his confession. And the guy was being absolutely sincere. That's not funny or edgy. That's being a twat. Mocking a person that's trying to be honest to their crush is childish and fucking cruel. Tell me you're an insecure cow Mindy Kaling without actually saying it. No normal person would even think that's amusing. Fictional show or not. I'm so sick of this cynical, whiney, mean-spirited bullshit that infests today's entertainment. Having your characters be complete assholes to each other for no reason other than sleazy attempts at humor or drama isn't clever writing. It just means you're a no talent hack.
Don't you just love how they just made the Scooby gang into racial stereotypes in an attempt to be inclusive. Velma: The smart one, so she has to be Indian. Making her a self insert is low, having her get with Daphne so you can feel good about yourself is even lower. Shaggy: The one who was often theorized to be a stoner is black. Every girlboss show or movie gives the main character a black sidekick that's useless by comparison who also simps for them. Daphne: The cool Asians from "Mean Girls" given from. Unsurprisingly, she has far less personality than her pristine and popular original variant. Fred: Look how they massacred my boy. Fred is the overplayed "Fuck Straight White Men" card, where he embodies the perceived flaws of both men and white people. He's a spineless cuck to the degree that would impress OG Shaggy yet he has psychopathic outbursts. Very unlike the OG Fred, who was friendly, level headed, resourceful, and would throw hands with a monster to protect his friends. Scoob was the only one saved from the chopping block thanks to being a talking dog and thus too kid friendly (as if Brian Griffin doesn't exist). Glad maturity is equated to violence and sexual references every two minutes nowadays.
I didn't mind the race swapping, white washing happens all the time in hollywood; but judging by all the reviews it seems the attempt at "diversity" backfired horrendously by making them incredibly shallow stereotypes. They literally could have made Velma Indian and not changed her character at all and it would have been good representation because the point of diversity is to say race doesn't affect your character. Everyone would have lost their shit, but then had no argument as to why Velma couldn't be Indian if she was literally the exact same as OG scooby-doo. Now it just gives ammo to people to say "See? Diverse casting is terrible because it's pandering".
Wouldn't it be cool if we got a show about a different mystery crew in the same universe? They could even be all black like the original was all white, give them a pet parrot instead of a talking dog. Maybe they've been at it for longer than mystery inc, and they deal with more mature mysteries. I'd watch that show. unless these fuckers write it they'd find a way to make it terrible
@@Mekose It's not about them being race-swapped, it's just as the drinker said towards the end of the video - everybody's toxic and borderline evil. There's none of the charm of the original gang, just a bunch of butthurt smartasses who can't wait for something terrible to happen to the other members of the gang. Even if we let that slide as an "adult, nsfw version" of Scooby Doo, the characters don't feel like themselves. The only thing Velma from this show got in common with the beloved cartoon character from our childhood is the name, as do Fred, Daphne and others.
It seems that the people that are into all this woke stuff are some of the meanest, most vengeful, hate filled narcissists to have ever walked the earth. I mean making a children's cartoon this spiteful is so low that it leaves one almost speechless.
The fact that they not only changed the name of the main character of the show, Scooby Doo, but in fact wrote him out of it completely and made it all about someone else tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about this show.
Well, the show was originally written as something not even related to Scooby Doo in the first place. The studio basically forced the show's creators to add the Scooby Doo stuff to it.
@@anonnonen694 In one of the clips I noticed a portrait of Evil White Man character with his father, who bears a suspicious resemblance to the "Yes" Chad meme.
This show literally made me sick to my stomach and as a person who grew up watching the original series, it was heartbreaking seeing these characters completely and utterly humiliated.
As a kid (white male) I was always looking up to Velma, because she helped me realize while growing up that the looks and muscles aren't everything and one can also achieve much thanks to brains. And now look how they've massacred my... girl.
@@dizzyheads I really don't feel like the "the character has to match my race in order to empathize" is a good argument for race swapping old IPs. I always love *good* heroes that have to struggle, no matter their colour. The hero's journey is a transcendent literary device through time and medium, colour and creed.
@@Dak1549 I don't think that is why they said they aren't white, pretty sure they are just throwing their support for the OP since there is this common thing of people having their opinions invalidated online with irrational accusations of "oh well you're probably a white male so your opinions don't matter and/or are all wrong/bad/skewed by your privilege".

I think the real problem here is the Scooby-Doo is just slapped on top of what Mindy wanted to write. She wanted to make a show with herself as a self insert. It is like bad fanfiction, "Velma" (the self insert) is the center and EVERYTHING else is set dressing.
That's all that modern writers can do. They want to tell their own story, but they don't have the balls to set it up as an independent story. So they use existing IPs to ensure name recognition, while telling whatever story they want to tell.
Its exactly that and this kind of self-insert fan fiction is a prime example of hack writing, especially the Mary Sue where she is great at everything and everyone loves her. Hard to believe the writer actually majored in screenplays at an Ivy League school. I've seen people who haven't even graduated high school write better material.
Yep sounds like you are right on the money Mezzo. What gets me is who gave this show the green light. Was she giving the director head or something. Who would think this show would be a great idea? Do the screenwriters of this shit really believe this is quality content? Alienating half your audience is pretty stupid if you want numbers and your show to be successful. Do they like losing money? I hope some heads roll when this gets quickly cancelled.
Of course Mindy was one of the executive producers. She is the type of person who would love more than anything to be the main character again. She turned the character Velma Dinkley into a self-insert of herself.
I'll just say, an "adult" tv show but takes place in a high school basically sums up that the writers never actually matured and moved on from highschool.

Mindy Kaling is a pretty good indication of toxicity in modern, insecure people. No matter how successful they are, they are still bitter, petty, and spiteful. It comes across in the characters and no one wants to watch a show where everyone is an asshole.
People love to watch shows where everyone is an asshole. It just has to be written well. Look at It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's one of the longest running television shows ever and they're all HORRIBLE people.
the worst thing is that it will probably win some award for being culturally enriching and spreading love, while the creators will be appraised as "brave"
I doubt it. If it were any other franchise, maybe, but scooby doo is loved by damn near every generation going back to people born in the 50s and 60s, and this show just pissed every one of them off, left and right
They cant use their usual right wing review bombing line. Even the woke channels hate it. Weve had this woke crap for 5 years now, i think theyve backed themselves into a corner. All this cultural appropriation, punching down, diversity, believe all women... there are SO MANY woke rules that they are getting more and more stuck...
@@swimmer8585 never ever doubt wokers for giving themselves backpats for butchering something and labeling people misogynistic, homophobic, and racist if their agenda ideologies arent praised. Best believe they'll reward themselves for standing up against adversity in their eyes. This has been shown time and time again these past 2 and a half years. Hell they rewarded a guy addicted on Fentanyl with a statue and mural. Then doubled down and called riots across the nation as things burned down as peaceful protests and kneeled and danced in the street rewarding all the craziness going on and just letting people out of jail to do the same thing over they just got released on and was given wide sympathy over it. So never count it out.
1. I'm not going to watch this to prove/disprove 2. But I've heard *this might actually be some 4d trolling, a satire of woke remakes* 3. And if so... interesting. But I'm still not gonna watch it.
Yesterday, I read some of the stories my 13-year-old self had written and cringed hard, wondering how tf I could've thought of something so pathetic. Today, I watched an episode of Velma and I now feel boundlessly proud of 13-year-old me.
While I'm not brave enough to inflict this show upon myself, there is a particular plot point that comes up which I absolutely _despise._ At one point, Velma 'proves' Fred is the killer based on almost no evidence and he is arrested then and there. Immediately after, she and Norville find a second body, the circumstances of which make it flat-out impossible for Fred to be the killer. Yet Velma, the supposed _only smart and rational character,_ insists that Fred is still guilty of both murders purely because she doesn't like him. Velma: a murder mystery where every single character is terminally stupid and irredeemably horny, with a thin layer of Scooby Doo paint thrown lazily over the top.
Not only that, but to paraphrase the moron twitter crowd, "They go to great lengths to try and sexualize minors." I mean, they literally show a ton of highschool aged girls (as in, under 18) running around naked or barely covered in towels/soap bubbles. The show is just mean-spirited and hateful. Like so many other "remakes/reimaginings", the writers think they're far smarter than they actually are. They hate the original IP, so figure they can "improve" it by remaking it "for modern audiences" (ie, shitting on white men, making every female character lesbian, race-swapping characters, etc). It's all so stupid.
If the original Scooby-Doo gang was still around, the next villain they would unmask would be no other than Mindy herself. What a horrifying episode that would make.
The Hollywood industry blaming you for their trash has brought me to your channel, and my agreeing with you reviews of shows I saw before I had seen your reviews called me to subscribe. Please take my subscription and wield it wisely!
fun fact: the creator of VELMA went on a talk show and talked about the haters. she stated that she has no idea why such a amazing girl is getting such hate from but says that the haters seem to only hate VELMA series because they cant imagine a idian girl being black and are racist. . she completely ignore all the real reason why her series getting hated on by everyone around the world and just blames the hate on people being racist and sexist.
i think making the main character indian is the smartest move she done, cause million of indian will like the show and didnt care about the bad thing in the show
@@rullisampan6461 ah no.....there are surprisely TOOONS of indians who find velma change a utter insult to every indian culture and the people. the race is utterly find but the skin change and the way she is acting is a insult to them and even recommend using a pirated site to watch the show to not give support to the disgracful series
The fact that the trailer opens with "This is MY story, told MY way" tells you everything you need to know. It just screams " we're insecure writers that are just writing our power fantasy".

You have wonderful description of the dumpster fire known as Velma I don't think anyone could have put it better than you Great job can't wait for your next review .
The most surprising part of this show is the fact that HBO canceled so many near-complete shows and movies, many of which pushed _the message,_ but looked at Velma and thought “nah, this one can stay”
Thought that was Disney doing that with Marvel. Didn't they can a completed $60 million movie because it would have been more expensive to release something that nobody wanted to see?
its just that things are changing. And people start to speak their own minds after years of being told to stfu ( racist , sexist etc etc) It was about time tbh

i would literally bet everything i own that the time fred confuses her for being hispanic was included specifically because the shows creator was confused for hispanic once and, since she’s from a wealthy upper class family without real world problems, she took it as one of the worst things that’s ever happened to her. not that she’s necessarily wrong.

Remember: it isn't just that these hacks can't come up with anything new, they have to tear down and completely trash anything we all used to love. They don't just want your money. They want your memories.
Seem to me that there is more than a little bit of neo-Maoism going on: they need to re-write all of history and all of literature so that nothing exists that is not woke and so the people are incapable of ever experiencing non-wokeness.
Or maybe they're unconsciously showing what appeals to them, or a particular age they feel more attracted to, I mean for real continuity they should have lived Thelma out of school and into an ADULT working environment surrounded by 40 somethings like she is now.
It gives a lot of insight into how these people view themselves. They feel like they're decades younger than they actually are and have fantasies of re-rolling their high school years as young adults with more experience. And despite basically espousing a weird version of redshirting, they're probably against it in real life.
Its like in star wars lol. Admiral Holdo could easily be portrayed as an incompetent CIS villain that loses to Obiwan/Anakin because of their toxicity or some shit. Its insane how clueless these writers are sometimes.
Amazingly enough, in the originals they managed to build ALL the characters up. The longer they went on the stronger the characters became. By the time of What's New Scooby-Doo we know Shaggy is a rich culinary genius who not only owns the Mystery Machine but the recipe for Scooby-Snacks on top of being a top athlete. Velma is a genius inventor with multiple patents. Fred is a mechanic genius who also happens to a pop culture dictionary alongside his jock traits. Daphne is a martial artist, escape artist, and a freelance journalist. All of them were built up to be real people with diverse and helpful skills.
Yeah, they only had to retcon the whole cast repeatedly. Weird how everyone's soooo upset about characters being stupid now after watching them be stupid for the past 20 years Scooby Doo sucks and has always sucked since the original seasons stopped
I'll never forget the lesson that Scooby-Doo taught me, the real monsters are people that do bad things
100,000% TRUE!!
It's slightly depressing that a single sentence I read in the comments section is more insightful and meaningful than entire shows written by self-proclaimed "enlightened minds" manage...
It taught me that every mystery ever solved turned out o be not supernatural. Do with that what you will.

My favorite thing about Velma is how it brings ideologically different people together to shit on the same show.
It's drawing the haters and the supporters of the groups shown in this show together to shit on it and I absolutely love that. They say finding someone that hates the same stuff as you is better than finding someone that likes the same things as you for any kind of relationship.
like the original scooby doo shows
diferent people all working together to solve the mystery
and the mystery is how anyone made a show this trash
This is the first time something actually unites the entire world.
Yep. I love subversive female representation in media. Daria, Jessica Jones, and Game of Thrones are just a few examples of shows that have done this well. The women in these shows are nuanced, flawed, and complex. They're human. There are also shows that implement diverse casting with good results. In my mind, race-switching one Targaryen branch in House of the Dragon makes sense. In their vast intercontinental empire, Targaryen intermarriage with non-White rulers would be perfectly feasible. Yes, it's a change from the book, but it doesn't detract from the story. Velma is the complete opposite. It's horribly written, exploitative troll-bait. It's the worst of cynical tokenistic woke-ism that shits all over good representation.

From everything I've seen about Velma, it feels like it was written by someone who hates both Scooby Doo and the intended audience for Velma itself.
That's precisely correct. The 'creator' has a massive chip on her shoulder because she's not the most important person in the room.
Although mostly she hates herself because deep down she knows she doesn't deserve it.
The old cast always felt familial and close because they didn't TRY to force a chemistry. It just popped off.
That's because the writers of the OG series were actually good and cared about good characterization. Something too many modern 'writers' don't know how to do.
Even in the movies, when everyone went their separate ways, and eventually met up, they act like they haven't missed a day in each other's company.
Kaling really nuetered her series right off the bat.
Yeah, that's something I realized while watching this review: I never questioned why these characters were together, even though their differing backgrounds invites scrutiny. I did question Scrappy-Doo, however.
Imagine: th-cam.com/video/uLxBYzEjeZA/w-d-xo.html

@@bunnywithakeyboard7628 A lot of people watched the original Scooby Doo, and the 90s era Scooby, and the early Scooby Doo movies, and just about all of them hate Velma.
Velma was already known as the brains of the group, she’s usually the one that does all the research and figures out who the bad guy is. When they unmask the monster, Velma usually says something like, “Just as I thought” or “Like I suspected.” They didn’t need to dumb everyone else down to make her stand out. Fred was the leader who came up with the plans and traps, Velma was the brains, Daphne was the pretty face and Fred’s love interest, and Shaggy and Scooby were the comic relief/monster bait. Everyone in the group had a defined role that was important to the essence of the show. This show shat on that. Almost the entire Mystery Inc. Gang was race swapped and the only one they left white, Fred, is now the object of ridicule because of his whiteness. None of these characters are anything like their original counterparts except in name, and from what I can tell, there’s no Scooby at all. It’s like the showrunners wanted to give a big middle finger to anyone who ever watched and enjoyed this show as a kid. What a joke.
Edit: Hell, this piece of shit show makes all the live action Scooby Doo movies look like Citizen Kane. At least the live action movies managed to get the characters and group dynamic right…
In the last ep they'll bring Scooby obliviously
@@hareendrangangadharan6974 Pretty sure Shaggy had the dog before the group ever officially got together.
Daphne has always been intelligent and resourceful as well, while breaking the trope of the entitled and mean rich girl because she was always kind to everyone..
Daphne, more than another beautiful face, she is like a McGyber version on Scooby Doo. She know everything to be known of make up and cloths, which make it easier to find the connection to Velma. Velma only made an analysis of the component. Fred, for more of what he apparent, he came up with the decisions and plans just as you said. And Shaggy and Scooby are braver than people think.

I'd say more like Prince Harry given so much but still the victim with a massive and to grind. I doubt the maker Mindy is it ever wanted in her life and many other people involved and this is their interpretation of those who do.
I doubt Mindy was ever bullied that badly. Did she have a blonde rich boy in her high school making salutes and unable to cut his own food? I think she's just a nasty entitled piece of work, surrounded by an industry that loves to ruin things. I have no sympathy for her or her trash products.
I hereby propose we refer to this sort of IP sabotage as "Spitewashing" 😂😂😂
Narcissism is the key trait.
The creator is a very bitter old woman who never got as far as she wanted and now is lashing out with this garbage, I’m sure some of the HBO folks buckled because she used all the terms against them, still. For a company who has made actual works of art they should have known better. Morons.

It's so beautiful to see everyone, regardless of background, political leanings, race, all collectively hate Velma
Cause that ain't Velma. Velma is likeable and nice. This bitch empty
Seriously, there's nothing good or redeemable about this mean spirited shit heap. It's not just cringe, it's depressing to watch.
There's a segment in the show where Norvile (Black knock-off shaggy) was confessing his feelings for Velma and the entire bit revolved around mocking his confession.
And the guy was being absolutely sincere. That's not funny or edgy. That's being a twat.
Mocking a person that's trying to be honest to their crush is childish and fucking cruel. Tell me you're an insecure cow Mindy Kaling without actually saying it.
No normal person would even think that's amusing. Fictional show or not.
I'm so sick of this cynical, whiney, mean-spirited bullshit that infests today's entertainment. Having your characters be complete assholes to each other for no reason other than sleazy attempts at humor or drama isn't clever writing. It just means you're a no talent hack.
Don't you just love how they just made the Scooby gang into racial stereotypes in an attempt to be inclusive.
Velma: The smart one, so she has to be Indian. Making her a self insert is low, having her get with Daphne so you can feel good about yourself is even lower.
Shaggy: The one who was often theorized to be a stoner is black. Every girlboss show or movie gives the main character a black sidekick that's useless by comparison who also simps for them.
Daphne: The cool Asians from "Mean Girls" given from. Unsurprisingly, she has far less personality than her pristine and popular original variant.
Fred: Look how they massacred my boy. Fred is the overplayed "Fuck Straight White Men" card, where he embodies the perceived flaws of both men and white people. He's a spineless cuck to the degree that would impress OG Shaggy yet he has psychopathic outbursts. Very unlike the OG Fred, who was friendly, level headed, resourceful, and would throw hands with a monster to protect his friends.
Scoob was the only one saved from the chopping block thanks to being a talking dog and thus too kid friendly (as if Brian Griffin doesn't exist). Glad maturity is equated to violence and sexual references every two minutes nowadays.
I didn't mind the race swapping, white washing happens all the time in hollywood; but judging by all the reviews it seems the attempt at "diversity" backfired horrendously by making them incredibly shallow stereotypes. They literally could have made Velma Indian and not changed her character at all and it would have been good representation because the point of diversity is to say race doesn't affect your character. Everyone would have lost their shit, but then had no argument as to why Velma couldn't be Indian if she was literally the exact same as OG scooby-doo. Now it just gives ammo to people to say "See? Diverse casting is terrible because it's pandering".
@@Mekose I mean it is pandering because they want more of an audience…
@@Mekose it’s not bad like you say, but it is pandering nonetheless
Wouldn't it be cool if we got a show about a different mystery crew in the same universe? They could even be all black like the original was all white, give them a pet parrot instead of a talking dog. Maybe they've been at it for longer than mystery inc, and they deal with more mature mysteries. I'd watch that show. unless these fuckers write it they'd find a way to make it terrible
@@Mekose It's not about them being race-swapped, it's just as the drinker said towards the end of the video - everybody's toxic and borderline evil. There's none of the charm of the original gang, just a bunch of butthurt smartasses who can't wait for something terrible to happen to the other members of the gang.
Even if we let that slide as an "adult, nsfw version" of Scooby Doo, the characters don't feel like themselves. The only thing Velma from this show got in common with the beloved cartoon character from our childhood is the name, as do Fred, Daphne and others.
It seems that the people that are into all this woke stuff are some of the meanest, most vengeful, hate filled narcissists to have ever walked the earth.
I mean making a children's cartoon this spiteful is so low that it leaves one almost speechless.
Psychopaths jumping onto trends to abuse people who believe in them
The fact that they not only changed the name of the main character of the show, Scooby Doo, but in fact wrote him out of it completely and made it all about someone else tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about this show.

I think the real problem here is the Scooby-Doo is just slapped on top of what Mindy wanted to write. She wanted to make a show with herself as a self insert. It is like bad fanfiction, "Velma" (the self insert) is the center and EVERYTHING else is set dressing.
That's all that modern writers can do. They want to tell their own story, but they don't have the balls to set it up as an independent story. So they use existing IPs to ensure name recognition, while telling whatever story they want to tell.
Its exactly that and this kind of self-insert fan fiction is a prime example of hack writing, especially the Mary Sue where she is great at everything and everyone loves her. Hard to believe the writer actually majored in screenplays at an Ivy League school. I've seen people who haven't even graduated high school write better material.
Not "It is like bad fanfiction," but "It IS bad fanfiction."

She Hulk - "I have the shittiest show on TV."

Of course Mindy was one of the executive producers. She is the type of person who would love more than anything to be the main character again. She turned the character Velma Dinkley into a self-insert of herself.

And they’ve green lit a second season. Probably before it aired.
While I'm not brave enough to inflict this show upon myself, there is a particular plot point that comes up which I absolutely _despise._
At one point, Velma 'proves' Fred is the killer based on almost no evidence and he is arrested then and there. Immediately after, she and Norville find a second body, the circumstances of which make it flat-out impossible for Fred to be the killer. Yet Velma, the supposed _only smart and rational character,_ insists that Fred is still guilty of both murders purely because she doesn't like him.
Velma: a murder mystery where every single character is terminally stupid and irredeemably horny, with a thin layer of Scooby Doo paint thrown lazily over the top.
"Thin?" It's not even Paint!"

I mean, they literally show a ton of highschool aged girls (as in, under 18) running around naked or barely covered in towels/soap bubbles.
The show is just mean-spirited and hateful. Like so many other "remakes/reimaginings", the writers think they're far smarter than they actually are.

@@Zydraxis came here to say that. Thank you for doing it so I don't have to.
Or maybe they're unconsciously showing what appeals to them, or a particular age they feel more attracted to, I mean for real continuity they should have lived Thelma out of school and into an ADULT working environment surrounded by 40 somethings like she is now.
*moved (not lived)
It gives a lot of insight into how these people view themselves. They feel like they're decades younger than they actually are and have fantasies of re-rolling their high school years as young adults with more experience. And despite basically espousing a weird version of redshirting, they're probably against it in real life.
When the main character in your reboot could easily be a villain in the original show, you know you've made a modern masterpiece.
Its like in star wars lol.
Admiral Holdo could easily be portrayed as an incompetent CIS villain that loses to Obiwan/Anakin because of their toxicity or some shit.
Its insane how clueless these writers are sometimes.
You are spot on!
*Enter Batwoman*
More like Modern Disaster. I doubt that's what the writers intended because of fucking course it is.
😂 NICE!
Amazingly enough, in the originals they managed to build ALL the characters up. The longer they went on the stronger the characters became. By the time of What's New Scooby-Doo we know Shaggy is a rich culinary genius who not only owns the Mystery Machine but the recipe for Scooby-Snacks on top of being a top athlete. Velma is a genius inventor with multiple patents. Fred is a mechanic genius who also happens to a pop culture dictionary alongside his jock traits. Daphne is a martial artist, escape artist, and a freelance journalist. All of them were built up to be real people with diverse and helpful skills.
Did you mean Daphne in the second mention of Velma? Alongside Fred, she's the most physically capable out of the gang.
You mentioned Velma twice. I think you meant to write Daphne in place of the second Velma
Yeah, they only had to retcon the whole cast repeatedly. Weird how everyone's soooo upset about characters being stupid now after watching them be stupid for the past 20 years
Scooby Doo sucks and has always sucked since the original seasons stopped
Yeah, but they were hwite, so they had to go.
keys*
I just wanna know how we went from a family friendly ip as iconic as scooby doo, to this
They couldn’t of made Velma a more unlikeable character if they tried
I think they did a great job of accurately portraying the modern day leftist.
@@mchonkler7225 I keep seeing people post dumb stuff about leftists. You do realize that "Left" isn't a cause that people support, right?
It’s just Mindy Kaling as a character.
they tried, thats the problem, its just a huge bait that managed to get number 1 spot in hbo because of people watching to hate on it
@@pablogr6960 and because HBO removed like, all competition.
