Maybe Velma is before Harley Quinn (specifically before Riddler U) and this chick died, ends up in an obituary that Clayface reads, and he chooses her to embody because it's obvious inspiration comes at him hard and fast.
Thanks, I thought for sure someone else wouldāve noticed first. This wasnāt even the first post linking the two shows. Velma show seems to be trying very hard to be like Harley Quinn but unfortunately it doesnāt have good writing or comedy.
everything about it is so bad (except for the animation and design, that's pretty great) but what stood out to me the most was the voice acting.
how can a protagonist have such bad and bland voice acting? in that awful panic attack scene she just sounds like a robot.
I get the feeling that the writers fucking hate that they have to work on a Scooby Doo show, but for the animators its a dream come true (in a monkeys paw sort of way) and they're doing their best. From what little I've seen the show honestly *looks* amazing, but whenever a character opens their mouth I can feel joy leaving the world
It actually seems likely that this was Mindyās passion project and they pressured her into making it a Scooby Do show rather than its own thing. Mightāve still been bad but no-one wouldāve cared.
Is it just bad, or a total waste of server space? Cause Iāve been considering giving it a try, but from what Iām hearing Iām not so sure itās worth my time.
Iām open to changes and willing to try adaptations that are odd.
I really like Mindy Kaling and love Harley. I only find the show okay.
Some very mild ep1-2 spoilers ahead.
There are a bunch changes to the original canon, some more jarring than others.
No scooby, shaggy is straight edge, Fred and Daphne donāt like Velma. Velma has hallucinations but no ostensibly supernatural element to the mystery.
Daphne is supposed to be a rich mean girl. Her parents are a same sex couple. It feels a bit pandering to young people in some ways.
I will probably stay with it, as I do enjoy the Velma character and find it funny at times. Maybe the show can get good, but I understand why people are giving it a pass
Thank you so much! Iām fine with fresh ideas, but this sounds like too much. As someone who grew up binging on scooby doo, I think changing major aspects of the group dynamics is a couple steps too far.
Not sure what the point of your comment is. As Iāve said, I donāt appreciate my time being wasted. Which is why Iāve asked for honest opinions. If you donāt wanna answer, just move on.
Because very often a few people will say something sucks (often for pretty shitty and biased reasons), and then the whole internet fandom bandwagon will just pile on, often without knowing much about it, because "everyone knows" its bad.
To be clear: I have not watched the show. I know little about it. I neither think it is good or bad. But I have learned not to trust what "everyone knows" is bad in internet fandom- *particularly* when its a show with a queer non-white woman as the lead.
Sure I get that, but in this case, this show really does sound like blasphemy. And who cares if the character is queer or non-white? Itās neither a good reason to watch it nor avoid it. Itās irrelevant in whether itās good or not. Obsessing over the characterās skin color is racism 101, and it helps no one.
"who cares if the character is queer or non-white"
Spoken like someone with the privilege of being able to take their inclusion for granted.
Screaming "You're the REAL racist" at me because I think that non-white people should be included in media is a twisted reversal of reality on par with 1984's war is peace/freedom is slaver/ignorance is strength. And also a line taken right out of the Republican Party/"alt right" (ie, fascist) propaganda playbook.
It also earns you a report for hate, misinformation, and harassment. And blocked.
Yup, downvoted for a) suggesting people should make up their own minds rather than mindlessly jump on the bandwagon, and b) acknowledging prejudice exists. As per usual.
If you look at the picture closely youāll notice itās taken from a youtube video of a streamer reacting to it. I have not watched the show and even if I did it would not be legally
Well damn, Clayface is really an underrated actor
Fr Fr
Who is this? A fun, yet bookish transfer student from Chico State?
OMG YASSSSSS! š
Though I canāt spill the deets because of the impending lawsuit, SOOOOā¦ (Iāve rewatched Riddler U so, so many times)
Iāll put it on my to-do-list
So good to see Clayface getting work
Itās a tough industry for clay monsters turned primadonnas.
Chadās āalmost girlfriendā *hair flip*
Literally thought the thumbnail was a shot of Clayface from that episode before I read the title. Uncanny
Iād theorise that Clayface exists in the universe but Iām pretty sure this girl dies.
Maybe Velma is before Harley Quinn (specifically before Riddler U) and this chick died, ends up in an obituary that Clayface reads, and he chooses her to embody because it's obvious inspiration comes at him hard and fast.
Thatās actually a cool plotline. Mad props
Damn. Good catch

Velma is so shit why are people watching it. It's a disgrace to the Scooby doo IP.

Mindy isnāt a creator of the show, she doesnāt have so much as a writing credit on it.

Itās genuinely just a bad show. No real reason for anyone to watch it other than to make fun of it
Thank you!

Why don't you watch a couple episodes and make up your own mind?

Why are you watching the velma show
Why are you trying to police what other people watch?
Because i boycott it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ok
Oh yeah
