VELMA is a Mean-Spirited Unfunny Series and Has a 7% Fan Rating on Rotten Tomatoes

HA!!

Jinkies!!!!

Poor sweet Mindy Kaling. For some reason everything she touches dies. 🙄

They keep ruining original ideas by recycling and rebooting them. The original Scooby Doo where are you? Should have been it ... BUT NOOo

Hollywood has a boner right now for taking existing IP, giving it to a creator who wants to create something new but can't and so changes pretty much everything about the original show or movie apart from the names. I mean Velma was a dork and now she's some Indian lesbian? Daphne was a bit of a princess who always ended up in bad situations and now she's an asian and is potentially a lesbian? Shaggy isn't even called Shaggy and he's black and hates drugs?! The character was a stoner! Fred is off course a woke social justice warriors idea of a villain, white and male and a murderer, and is a retard because that's the only way minorities can appear smart? By having white people be literal retards? And there isn't even a dog, but god knows Scooby would've probably become some trans furry who is the president of the USA and smarter than everyone... ever and definitely not white.

I'm sure it sucks but the biggest bomb of all time?

R4, in this case they took an original idea and woke it up to the point where even wokes hate it.

OP what is your obsession? Sad

Congrats!

It really is awful. I was bored and looking for something on HBO Max to watch. The writing is horrible and there's nothing I even halfway chuckled at. I'm glad people agree.

Look at little Vel!

See her give ‘em hell!

no one ever liked Velma. Why do they think anyone would want to watch a series about her?

Because of the dyke jokes with an industry that wishes to cater to the “queer community”.

The Critical Drinker published a scathing review:

I loved cartoons as a kid, but I always thought Scooby Doo was overrated.

Anyway, the single best thing that could happen to pop culture would be for remakes, reboots, revivals etc. to be magically banned.

r5 really summarized things nicely. That really is the current formula Hollywood has a hard-on for.

I watched Scooby Doo during its initial run - I was around 8 and for years just assumed Velma was a boy.

This pleases me no end.

Except for BJ Novak's dick.

Worse than either The View or Honey Boo Boo
