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.

The hate this show is getting is so satisfying

Drinker: "She-Hulk is rock bottom" Drinker now: "I stand corrected"

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.

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.

I'll never forget the lesson that Scooby-Doo taught me, the real monsters are people that do bad things

Mindy deadass wrote herself in as the main character

Let’s all give a big thank you to the men and women who put their mental health at risk by watching this dumpster fire so we don’t have to

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.

Velma is a great example at showing us why we can never lower our standards, because no matter how low they are the writers can always go lower

The game plan of these "modern" writers seems to be "I am going to insult you, the viewer for not wanting to drink my piss water"

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 😰

You have to have a lot of hate in your heart to want to destroy something as innocent as Scooby Doo.

Lets all be thankful here, Velma miraculously got people from every background to come together to hate this show together. Truly inspiring

“Now allow me to transport you into the horrifying nightmare that is modern entertainment!” Saddest truth ever! 😢

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.

The main teaching of Scooby Doo remains relevant to this day: The real monsters are everyday people, like the people that made this show.

Im paralysed from the waist down, after 20 years in a wheel chair I finally stood up to turn this TV show off.

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 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.

I miss the days when shows were mostly an escape from the real world and not a distasteful reminder of it

I love it how this "modern and more mature" reboot is far more juvenile than the cartoon with a talking dog.

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.

“Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc.” is probably my fav SD show, incredible art style that recalls the original but puts a more modern style to it, DCAU type of animation, astonishing story telling and a very cool horror/thriller element that doesn’t take away from the original concept of the show, all the villains are still people wearing masks, but it’s not just a monster of the week typa show, it has a connected story that by the half point of the show becomes so relevant the cast shift their focus to solve that mystery entirely. It’s a 10/10, watch it instead of this garbage

My favorite thing about Velma is how it brings ideologically different people together to shit on the same show.

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

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.

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.

"Written by professionsal victims" that line explaines 99%of modern movies & series

I feel like Mindy always wanted to be Velma, but when she realized she couldn't be Velma she did the next best thing, turned Velma into her

He genuinely sounds angry when he said "go away now" in this one😂

This gets funnier and funnier to me ! It feels like they have no inspiration to create new black characters, inspired from african folklore and history, they can only use pre existant caucasian characters and paint them black for the next movie. How ironic !

"Produced by professional victims" Dude, this was perfectly worded.

The fact that basically everyone hates this show, gives me so much hope in humanity 🙏

As a minority in the US, I couldnt take 5 minutes of this show....

The fact that they thought they needed to make Fred and the others stupid while promoting Velma as this dumb messiah tells u how much they understood/cared about the source material.

I’ve seen porn parodies be more faithful to source material then the goddamn Velma show

Just discovered your channel. You are supercritical, abrasive abusive and spot on, so new fan. Good job... keep it up.

I feel like this is a reflection of our society right now

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.

What's funny is even the target audience hates this show

There are no murders in Scooby Doo, just unmasked villains.

What’s really crazy, is that the Mystery Inc gang knockoffs in Velma get away Scott free at the end of season 1. When half of them should be in jail, and the other half, in therapy, as they’d be in a worse spot than when they’d started. For instance, Fred should have had a meltdown and gone insane by what he’d experienced in the last week because of Velma. He was seen as a disappointment by his dad, and watched his mother die a gruesome death.

The worst part is that you can tell the character changes were the first thing they probably discussed even before script writing or anything

What surprised me about this is that people are starting to understand what it means to avoid hate watching, and letting the show completely die.

I told my 6yo that a new Scooby Doo was being made, but without Scooby and Shaggy she started to cry.

I cannot believe the series was even allowed to happen. I'm waiting for lawsuits.

I will give this show credit for one thing, it manages to unite the entire internet and get it to hate the show

The fact they had to racialize the original Scooby Doo characters just really shows what they are focused on.

Gotta love fanfic writers having jobs writing stories for beloved IP's and having none of the love for any of it. Sometimes feels like every 'modern' movie/tv series is just a cringey fanfic writer's self-insert, angry at the world because they are so creatively bankrupt.

Now imagine a live action version of this show...

i feel bad for the younger generation that thinks this is what scooby doo is like

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._

She Hulk - "I have the shittiest show on TV." Velma - "Hold my soy latte..."

Velma is for MODERN-AUDIENCES!!!

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.

If the characters weren't wearing their iconic colored clothing, it would be unrecognizable as a Scooby Doo adaptation.

The fact that they tried to reimagine a popular old show, banking entirely on its fans, then went waaaay out of their way to piss specifically them off with highly pointed attacks, says all you need to know tbh.

That GO AWAY NOW at the end definitely had anger and disgust in it.

What they did to Fred is unforgivable character assassination.

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".

I just wanna know how we went from a family friendly ip as iconic as scooby doo, to this

Mindy K. Is usually in love with rich white men. Why would she be so mean in this project???? Shaggy is black and he’s is stupidly in love with a lesbian??? How dumb is the new shaggy????

You can tell Velma is a self insert of a kid who got bullied at school and is working through therapy via the show

The one joke about Shaggy and Scooby trying to barricade the door only for it to open from the other side is more hilarious than this entire show

Velma is so hated, it's impossible to find any positive reviews of the show

The original Scooby-Doo gang never investigated murders

The fact that almost everyone is trashing this show gives me a glimmer of hope for humanity.

How to make scooby doo remake good: Shaggy: a stoner who thinks his pet dog can talk, but it's not. At the end, he stops being a stoner, bought a puppy names scrappy and found a reason in life. Scooby: on everyone's pov, it's a normal dog that barks and always happy. In truth, he is shaggy's coping mechanism. He is, ironically the heart of the group using his adorable qualities. Fred: a brave, well intentioned dude, but his friends always jump in to help due to his lack of knowledge regarding social norms (he grew up as a privledged white family). Daphne: thinks she's know everything, but humbled and a graceful loser if proven wrong (either shaggy told her the bleak reality, fred told he to never give up and find other way to solution, or velma points out her fallacy). She's just lacking attention in her childhood and was driven to prove herself. Then she learned the value of friendship and loyalty. Velma: an actual knowledgeable character, but hides her lack of sex appeal through harmless sass and sarcasm. Later she learned that life is not just about getting men, but to be the best person than before.

I’m just waiting for the days when the farmers start using Gatorade to grow the crops. Shows like Velma make me think we are getting close.

Mindy changed Velma into a self insert. All of the audience reviews talk about how Velma is unlikable. That’s funny.

I'm not even a Scooby-Doo fan and I still feel insulted by this show

The show is ultimate and complete garbage. Unwatchable.

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.

“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made.” Indeed.

It’s really disappointing to see that the show which made the childhood of people from the 70’s to the late 2015’s took such a dark, misleading and a non-required 360 degree turn.

Not a single person involved in this show said: "Hey, maybe this isn't a good idea."

As moistcritikal said “I’m glad they took Scooby behind the barn and put him down, he did not deserve this, this is a fate worse than death”

She Hulk: "Look how bad I can be to alienate my entire audience!" Velma: "Hold my beer..."

Black Shaggy, because he always smokes dope,eats all the time, and he doesn't have a job. Actual funny stuff that you wouldn't expect from Hollywood.

If Hollywood green lights trash like this, they’ll approve just about anything.

The old cast always felt familial and close because they didn't TRY to force a chemistry. It just popped off.

The most terrifying part is someone probably enjoyed this show.

Velma was written by dysfunctional kids...and it shows.

I love how woke artists always try to give black characters white features 😂

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.)

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.

Velma is part of the "I can't believe it's not intentional" genre. A work that is so bad that it looks like the writers are intentionally trying to make a bad show for whatever reason, but it's not; the writers are just bad at their job

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 .

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.

They're not writers, they're activists with an axe to grind.

Scooby-Doo works perfectly as a children's cartoon. Mindy Kaling said they cut Scooby-Doo out because that was what made it a children's cartoon. I have to say to Kaling, "Why did you make an adult Scooby-Doo cartoon in the first place?" I believed it also shows in the final product that Charlie Grandy and Mindy Kaling wanted to make an adult cartoon first and a Scooby-Doo show second with the show second. I also know that there are plenty of adult parodies of Scooby-Doo out there.

"professional victims with ingrained grievances" sums it up quite well.

Sad thing is, Velma probably represents these writers' lives.

a good writer tells the truth about their characters, a bad writer tells the truth about _themselves_

I'm tired of modern writers ruining things that were originally for children. It's sick and it needs to stop.

Velma is like a "edgy" middle schooler made a show

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"

Velma is the prime definition of "They done massacred my boy"
