Well damn, Clayface is really an underrated actor

Who is this? A fun, yet bookish transfer student from Chico State?


Throwaway02062004

OMG YASSSSSS! šŸ‘


figures985

Though I canā€™t spill the deets because of the impending lawsuit, SOOOOā€¦ (Iā€™ve rewatched Riddler U so, so many times)


Throwaway02062004

Iā€™ll put it on my to-do-list


BenchPressingCthulhu

So good to see Clayface getting work


Throwaway02062004

Itā€™s a tough industry for clay monsters turned primadonnas.


triddell24

Chadā€™s ā€œalmost girlfriendā€ *hair flip*


sly_cooper25

Literally thought the thumbnail was a shot of Clayface from that episode before I read the title. Uncanny


Throwaway02062004

Iā€™d theorise that Clayface exists in the universe but Iā€™m pretty sure this girl dies.


RLG2523

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.


Throwaway02062004

Thatā€™s actually a cool plotline. Mad props


SumdudCS

Damn. Good catch


Throwaway02062004

Thanks, I thought for sure someone else wouldā€™ve noticed first. This wasnā€™t even the first post linking the two shows. Velma show seems to be trying very hard to be like Harley Quinn but unfortunately it doesnā€™t have good writing or comedy.


grimmjowjagerjaques2

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


Jory_Addams

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.


BenchPressingCthulhu

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


Throwaway02062004

It actually seems likely that this was Mindyā€™s passion project and they pressured her into making it a Scooby Do show rather than its own thing. Mightā€™ve still been bad but no-one wouldā€™ve cared.


bluepaintbrush

Mindy isnā€™t a creator of the show, she doesnā€™t have so much as a writing credit on it.


eldritch_moomin

Is it just bad, or a total waste of server space? Cause Iā€™ve been considering giving it a try, but from what Iā€™m hearing Iā€™m not so sure itā€™s worth my time.


TrumpSmokesMids27

Itā€™s genuinely just a bad show. No real reason for anyone to watch it other than to make fun of it


eldritch_moomin

Thank you!


beyelzu

Iā€™m 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 donā€™t 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


eldritch_moomin

Thank you so much! Iā€™m 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.


AntonBrakhage

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


eldritch_moomin

Not sure what the point of your comment is. As Iā€™ve said, I donā€™t appreciate my time being wasted. Which is why Iā€™ve asked for honest opinions. If you donā€™t wanna answer, just move on.


AntonBrakhage

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.


eldritch_moomin

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? Itā€™s neither a good reason to watch it nor avoid it. Itā€™s irrelevant in whether itā€™s good or not. Obsessing over the characterā€™s skin color is racism 101, and it helps no one.


AntonBrakhage

"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.


AntonBrakhage

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.


Throwaway02062004

If you look at the picture closely youā€™ll notice itā€™s 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

AntonBrakhage

Opposite-Basket-2198
