"It's more like a fake show that would be in like a Family Guy cutaway gag" is probably THE most accurate description of Velma I've heard so far.
Family Guy has standards, low ones for sure, but standards non the less. "Velma" would be a fake show within a fake show in the cutaway gag.

@@ravenouself4181lol nice
i’m just mostly disappointed in how none of the characters care for each other. the whole mystery gang were super close friends even though they weren’t “in the same social groups.” literally fred was the chad leader who had a hot girlfriend, but he also cared a lot for shaggy, who was just a chicken and a foodie and velma was smart but not arrogant. they all got along and solved mysteries together. this ain’t it.
This! She would literally solve all the mysteries but she wasn’t an arrogant b about it
this is the origin story...
@@victormponcec origin story of what? Sociopathic hateful assholes, IT DOESN’T EVEN HAVE SCOOBY DOO
@@victormponcec so when does the characters who weren't white go back to being white, get new/old personalities and a talking dog by the end of the show?
@@keyki9832 is an origin story of how these characters become friends and begin to travel solving misteries, it's a retelling, but keeping that core idea. Maybe they'll get the dog, maybe not, who knows.
Velma is definitely inclusive.
It didn’t just turn away some people it turned away everyone.
this comment is severely underrated
Those that claim they want inclusivity, actually want authority not equality. Shame it took butchering a classic to make people realize it.
YES WE ALL COLLECTIVELY HATE IT ITS BEAUTIFUL
maybe that was the point
America hasn’t been this unified since December 8th 1941
@@jacksongibbs8998 So you sided with Jeannette Rankin?
Maybe the animators worked so hard on the hallucination scenes because they enjoyed velma's suffering?
This is the truth
Do you guys agree that if what happened in 2020 didn’t happen, Velma wouldn’t have gotten made?
@@uria3679 huh?
@@uria3679I mean the pandemic did send people spiraling because they were running out of things to watch... But yes, though it might have been made later on
@@uria3679no, it would've still been made. After all, those writers had to have that ketamime and horse medicine they've been hoarding at some point. It's a canon event unfortunately.
What kills me is that HBO murdered all of their animated shows and then said "Look! Velma is the biggest animated show debut of all HBO time!" as if they didn't eliminate literally all of its competition
Infinity Train would have bested VELMA if they hadn't decided to throw the series into a black hole. Infinity Train was good and popular.
They could've renew a young justice season but decided to make this abomination
Biggest out of 5 launches regardless...they only had 5 original animations everything else is imported
@@Brutactical exactly I miss young justice so much and I’m sad we still don’t have another season
@@Brutactical That would have been so much better!
Cancel Velma, revive Young Justice and Infinity Train!
Remember: It's a good thing Scooby-Doo isn't actually in the show; because it means that he doesn't have to suffer the same horrible fate as the other characters.
Isnt there a rumour abput Scooby being a black girl in love with Shaggy
Just like the Daphne and Velma standalone movie lol

.....
There's a line later in the series where a character says to Velma, disguised as a man, that 'There's something funny about you. Not laugh out loud funny but more thoughtful and well observed like a female driven comedy'.
Hearing that line made me think "Wow, if this show had a dick it'd be trying to blow itself".
Gives off the same energy as M. Night self inserting himself into Lady in the Water as a guy who writes just the most profound awesomest story ever.
This show tries to be feminist while being pretty misogynistic 😂 like some female comedians are laugh out loud comedians and some women find laugh out loud comedy funny, the show puts women as a monolith...
The issue is not that she is Indian, The issue is that she IS Mindy Kaling, and that's a huge issue, she is literally just self-inserting herself to be as rude and cynical as possible.
It’s weird she’s had a track record for self inserts and she admitted she had kinda sex assaulted a guy and threatened to fire her staff if anyone told she’s a bad person
And Mindy Kaling is herself crap.
I don't think she has ever met someone who has been to a Walmart
All of her weird media references are nonsensical, she brings up some obscure trope and then says “this always happens isn’t that funny??”
Could've had her original animated sitcom where the main character was drawn to look just like her or something -idfk-
This series doesn’t just hate animation, they hate teens. Most of these jokes have enormous „that’s how these stupid teens talk these days, right???“ energy.
"Teens will relate to these characters if we make them as cynical and toxic as possible!"
It’s giving “How you doing young fellas”
I couldnt agree more...with Velma.
It really is how they talk these days though
@@Ash_NuggTatoagreed, but at least we actually have funny jokes and not be obnoxious
One of the most mean- spirited shows I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching, and the worst part is, it literally alienates EVERYONE
Didn’t alienate me. I love satire and that’s what this show is
"Look at how fluid this moment is."
The only thing worse than bad animation for a good show is good animation for a bad show. These talented people could have been doing something worth their time and talent.
The fact Daphne and Velma kissed to stop a panic attack has so much wrong with it.. and that's not even scratching the surface of the issues with this show
That's actually a surprisingly common trope for a first kiss in media!! Another example I can think of is Teen Wolf, where Stiles and Lydia kiss for the first time when Stiles has a panic attack. It's such a a harmful thing to promote but TV acts like it's romantic!!
From a story telling perspective the show has already wasted one of their biggest bullets.
The Velma - Daphne tension is something that fans of the show have speculated for years and they just forced it in the second episode with no reason or build up whatsoever.
They don't even know how to do woke romance right lmao
Yeah and after that they kept being hostile towards each other about it but then eventually became friends but friends that are inches away from being a couple and their is intentionally moments where they both blush or something.
Y'all that's so much worse than just this one issue omg I'm so glad the second episode was when I stopped. I only watched episode two to see if it got better. It did not
@@Viking_Raven wokoids don't know anything
Puss in Boots did a better representation of anxiety/panic attacks than Velma
right. u dont kiss someone when theyre having a panic attack. what perrito did at puss was the most wholesome thing i saw. i was ready to cry, the way he laid his head on puss bro
It’s kind of sad how accurate this is
Puss in Boots was wayyyy better than whatever this show is, the reason is Puss in Boots' director aren't critically online lmao
dont compare puss in boots to this piece of shit
That movie had no business being as good as it was
It got so much worse in the later episodes... Velma gets on a stripper pole in front of her dad and makes a joke about daddy issues, she twerks in front of a dead body, her mother shows up and is apparently hypnotized or some shite... How this stuff gets the green light is beyond me... It's not like they're making money off of it. It gets a lot of social media attention but that's it. Likes and retweets do not equal sales.
It’s like audience baiting instead of actually trying to make anything REMOTELY good
Wtf 😭
Bro 😧
What?? She did what in front of her Dad, that's disgusting 🤢🤢
Hypnotised to do what??
I love how Alex can be like "y'all are overreacting, this isn't that bad" then proceeds to list 10 reasons why the show is weird and a kinda trashy
The irony is that they're trying for Velma to be depicted as a fish out of water surrounded by negative stereotypes and fools, when she actually is the worst product of the environment she criticises. She is shallow, toxic, playing for advantage and hates anyone doing better than her. She is the worst individual in the show, and the fact Kaling celebrates this character shows how radioactive she is as a real person.
Ay yo, I’ve seen this comment on another video about Velma. Didn’t expect that
@@NicoPPSh That's how I know this user, he's a good commentator. Maybe you have problems with your original account and have decided to comment with another one.
@@Rembreiker_lychec9257 Thank you, the truth is true. I've been having problems lately with my original account.
@@Rembreiker_lychec9257 sorry if it sounded mean, I just wanted to point it out cause it’s a good point.
just my opinion, but velma in the show is not celebrated or even liked by anyone ( except for simp shaggy... and honestly that probably will not last when he and gigi get together.
Velma's negative traits in the show tend to over shadow her positive ones and she is an outcast at school and pretty much everywhere in the town. I am pretty sure there is going to be a serious "Reason you suck speech" given to velma some time in the near future, which will hopefully force her to have to become better.
Honestly the show is not great and most certainly not scooby doo, but if you see it as its own thing, it is decent enough. Its not Paradise PD or Chicago Party Aunt at least.
I'm thrilled that nobody, from critic, to RUclipsr, to audience member, has a positive opinion on this show. Has Mindy Kaling ever even watched an original episode or film?!
The show is alright 👍

Even the extreme woke knew this would make them look bad. Seeing Velma here must've been like looking into a mirror.
exactly, truly wonderful
As a nerdy half blind girl I always looked up to her but this show completely changed her whole personality
9:21 "And throughout the show, I assume given how the first four episodes are, she's gonna become LESS unlikeable." That's where you're wrong, bud.
As an animator, I appreciate you separating the art from the story.
I noticed her totally trying to be Daria, too, but Daria was self conscious, not berating.
The animators were really lazy with this. There’s multiple scenes with duplicate characters. Maybe they were rushed and had bad management
@@SunnyExMusic That's not lazy. It's literally a technique to save money (definitely a call from the higher ups). In the scenes where there is actual motion, the animation is smoother than butter, what are you talking about?
@@zirus5191 it’s most definitely lazy animation when there’s 3-4 different dupes in one scene. Like I said animators get overworked. I did a project like 4 years ago and I swear we were getting more shit than the VAs
Daria was at least aware of when she went too far too. And apologetic when it happened.
@@sarab1202 Exactly. Also. those characters may have been stock, but they weren't shrilly judgmental with every line.
I love how Alex said he wouldn’t do cartoon reviews but Velma was so bad he just had to
Pretty sure TheCriticalDrinker is the same.
I mean he did one for Miraculous Ladybug becoz he changed his mind after the whole “Videos I will never do” thing
The fact that he said the animation is good hurt me physically bro, like literally Ben 10 Classic did a better job in the transformation sequence. Like wtf is he talking about!?
@@user-pt2el1tt1r imo i thought it was actually super smooth, and he has a point with how hard that would be to do
@@luci-fo9ug The animation normally is bland but when we get to some scenes such as the ones he pointed out, the animation is actually good, I just wondered why they didn't make the show that way instead of the "adult" cartoon way.
Your little Avatars facial expressions are drawn so damn well. You really took that to the next level!
1. It’s bad
2. It’s horrible
3. Its horrendous

I wouldnt even show it id be too embarressed
@@user-mt5zl4rp5h they shouldn't. Velma (visual wise) looks amazing
Do you guys agree that if what happened in 2020 didn’t happen, Velma wouldn’t have gotten made?
@@uria3679 Are you blaming Velma on the pandemic? Covid did a lot of things wrong but that seems unfair.
I mean I would probably do that regularly. If MY work is just the animation, I'll just say it might contain spoilers and they should try watching the show.
It's clear that the writers either never watch the show or care about the characters. Like where was Velma's intelligence? Fred's leadership skills? Daphne's loyalty and shaggy's empathy? Instead, we got ripped off by the family guy, and Rick and Morty.
And Shaggy's hunger? And Scooby's... mere presence?!
@@jayo1212 Scooby knew the show's gonna be shit, so that's probably why he didn't appear in Velma
Velma couldn’t even compete with Rick and Morty in meta jokes
As a matter of fact, _Norville_ (Shaggy) was the smart one of the bunch here. Hell, pretty sure Velma's comment that he always texts her the answers to math homework was in Ep1...
@@MrAuthor3DS "Velma" managed to destroy everything about the characters. Since when did Velma have to get help from Shaggy for math homework?
I honestly don’t mind that they are different cultures and ethnicities. What I mind is the script
0:22 HALF A STAR?! I DIDN’T KNOW THAT WAS POSSIBLE, LOL!
As an animator, I appreciate that you gave animation the credit it deserves. Animation is HARD and takes a lot of practice and patience. Behind every animated show, there's a team of overworked, stressed, underpaid, and most of all, insanely talented people who deserve proper appreciation. So thank you for talking about that, Alex.
I feel so bad for those ppl bc they were forced to draw crap amazingly 😢
The art was so good. I love the style. It's so sad that all the potential was wasted
The animation is literally the only positive point to me.
I just hope this show won't be a dirt stain on their resume...
Is fair to say it's not good (as in i personallyfont like the art style), while also giving respect to artists?
@@akaInfamous totally. You can dislike the animation or the style. It's a matter of personal taste. I only mentioned the thing about animation because it's rare that someone gives credit to the people behind the product. In this case, the animators, sotryboard artists, comp artists, etc.
Velma has sooo much hate for people in this show and that by itself strays away from her true character, who is someone who's intelligent, helpful, respectful, brave, and loves a good mystery. Most of which the writers and everyone on this show disregarded in the first place. It's as if they didn't respect the source material in the first place....Oh now I see it.
It's almost like someone could have told them it's a bad idea
@@NespeCoaching like me for example or anyone with a brain
It feels like they had an idea for their own show, couldn't get the green light unless they got the rights from another show to bring more investors to it. Either way it's a disservice
This show is made me appreciate how good of a job Deadpool has done on 4th wall breaking I have never realized how hard it is to actually make good jokes
Funnily enough, Alex Meyers says that meta humor can only work if done sparingly, yet Deadpool spends pretty much the entire second movie breaking the 4th wall
Changing the characters this much is like making a teenage mutant ninja tutrles show where none of them are leaders, party dudes, do machines or have attitudes. The core of scooby doo is the core of the characters to make their dynamic what it is, and mystery solving, and they spent as much time as possible not even trying to do anything approximating those things in favour of the creator making a vent show about how much she hates high school??
or like pizza
Mystery Inc was the "adult" version of Scoobie Doo. It took the characters to extremes, with Fred neurotically obsessed with traps for example, but it still stayed true to the overall vibe of the original show. I haven't seen Velma but from what you've shown, it looks like they threw out one of the key points of the show - that the characters were very different from each other but cared for one another and complimented each other's strengths. Scoobie Doo was the original Breakfast Club, with the addition of goofy ghosts. This version seems like it's a snark fest with an on-going competition for who can be the worst person. Mystery Inc was, "Let's have fun with the characters and plots" while Velma seems to be, "Let's show you how we're superior to you idiots who like this drek."
Mystery Inc Velma didn't feel that accurate, the way she was obsessed with shaggy and thinking Scooby was her competition, but at least they addressed that issue and Velma got character development, even with those flaws she was still better than this Velma.
@@Kaitosmic_2-17 I think the reason she thought of Scooby as her competition was because the writers were writing her as a lesbian that was still in the closet, so that was there to either build up tension or just to show why the relationship wouldn't work? (unfortunately the writers forgot that watching a relationship fail isn't all that fun)
What’s New Scooby Doo also had the gang actually be adults and professional mystery solvers for hire
In Mystery Inc. Fred is canonically Autistic! Velma is also canonicaly a lesbian. The creator said they made it as explicit as they could in the 2010's and confirmed it as canonical in an interview recently. Mystery Inc. will always be MY Scooby Doo❤️
Because it's an adaptation...do you know what that is? Creative liberties happen. Changes happen. It's definitely making fun of the people who dislike this show.
as an animator, i really appreciate the comments about animation in here. animators are frequently put on projects they don't really feel connected to, they might even despise it. (i know i would be if i were put on Velma.) but the animators did a good job on this show, all things considered. the hallucination scenes are animated very well and everything else is basically as good or better than most other adult animated shows. the writing, directing, design and almost everything else may be really terrible but you have to appreciate the animators for making it watchable at best.
I don't think anyone really blames you guys or CG folks because you have nothing to do with piss-poor writing and scripts. Look at new Star Wars sequels and how stunning all of the CG is while writing was absolutely ad-lib trash.
I agree the animation was well done.
A polished turd is stil a turd. Even the best animators in the world can’t change that.
Yeah I was just thinking that when I get a project to animate I often dont really care about the content Im creating and just working for a paycheck. Especially at when I was doing motion design for marketing. There are shows I worked on where I didnt even watch the completed episodes
I agree. The animations were impressive. As far as the show, it's not that bad. I don't think it's horrible. Hopefully the next season will be better.
I’m adding this as well. I think perhaps some people just want to complain and this was a suitable target. Perhaps the shows humor is more for women? And it’s ok to not enjoy a show. But some of the criticism has been brutal!
this man has better humor then the whole script team combined
I think Archer is a pretty great example of adult animation that looks absolutely fantastic AND has great stories and delivery. I mean personally I think Archer (at least the first 4 seasons) are nearly perfect. It also features characters who are inherently kinda terrible people, but they're hilarious and likeable anyway.
I think one of the strangest parts of the show is how consistently Velma is told off by multiple characters that she’s pretty horrible to everyone. She has her faults of being too judgy, mean, and nasty laid out in plain terms and just ignores all of it. In fact the show will even frame it that she’s right in her judgements, but *maybe* she was just not delivering her mean-spirited message correctly. Hell even the popular “mean girls” tell her that she’s too judgy and rude, but she just comes up with an alternate explanation of her actions to brush criticism off. It honestly comes off like someone on the writing team had been criticized for these issues, and is just mockingly parroting them in the show to frame themselves as in the right.
Who ever said Velma was nice in the original. Her attitude was pretty much "monsters are not real and I will prove it. And if you believe in monsters, you are stupid."
@davidpaulk3661 Velma was never like that. Even in Where Are You? she let people ask their questions and explained things. She was nice and smart, and despite the original characters being simple in terms of personality, they played off each other quite well.
@@massee2119 I agree. But she had to get to that point. This is not the refined, mature, Velma who learns she’s not better than everyone. This show expresses how she got to that point. My high school self and my current adult self are two different people. I would probably body slam my high school self….lol. It’s a coming of age story.
@@Canyoufollow81
The original Velma in the original Hana Barbara cartoons was never necessarily skeptical over possible supernatural events occurring. However she was thorough in her investigations and was never surprised to find a ghost or ghoul to just be a creep in a mask. So yes, she was nice and smart, with the running gag of loosing her glasses.
Newer renditions of Velma often made changes to her character. The issue with this show I feel isn’t just their starting personalities, it’s the work writers would have to put in to make the majority of these characters redeemable and similar to the mystery inc we like and love, or whether they even will be similar.
@@mr.dantastic5073 Yes!! I totally agree it is going to be a challenge. That’s why I like it. How are they going to get there. It’s the journey. We already know the outcome. We know Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader. The question is-How?
Gumball was meant for kids but damn some of those jokes hit hard and are funny to all ages

@@3nowStorm and when darwin slipped on it 💀
That is what makes it such a good show! A well done kids show is a show anyone can enjoy!
to be fair the concept was originally proposed as an adult swim show, but it was reframed to fit a younger audience because of how "child like" the colors and character designs were
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THE ANIMATION!!!!
Most youtubers just call the animation shit, meanwhile I'm here gaping in awe at how cool the panic attack imagery is.
It almost made me watch more than 2 episodes... ALMOST! The pure hatred emanating from velma at all times held me back
I have so much respect for animators in general. The animators who worked on this have real talent. These people deserved better material to work on.
Remember folks, just because you're writing an unlikable character doesn't mean the audience is actually supposed to dislike them. If American Psycho can make a monster of a man and leave with a die hard fan base, Velma has no excuse.
to be fair, men just misinterpreted the point patrick bateman’s charecter and made him out to be some pussy magnet chad when in reality he was a pathetic loser
@@eatafartsandwich7872 well that's not quite what I'm getting at. Bateman is a pathetic unlikable loser, but no one now would say, "the movie was good but Batemans character ruined it for me." But for Velma one of the biggest complaints is that the intentionally unlikable characters are just genually unlikable and take away from the experience.
@@crusadercarl6269 i mean... he's definetly not a loser in the movie lol, he's a pathetic psychopath who's gradually letting the mask slip, but he's definetly not a loser socially. In his own mind he might be, but in world, he's a member of high-society, a wealthy socialite yuppy. He just hated it because everyone in that "world" is basically a clone of everyone else and nobody really cares, which is why he starts to kill, to be different.
@@crusadercarl6269 another is bojack horseman!!
Hell, look at the latest Puss in Boots movie. The character of Jack Horner is straight up just an unlikable, immoral, evil, irredemable character. And yet, most people agree they fucking loved when he was on screen.

Wait they were originally adults?
@@literallygrass1328I thought they were in their midteens !
@@andreasanchez1453 same
They didn’t age them down, they’ve always been teenagers. Plus it’s no different than every other show/ movie depicting teenagers in sexual scenarios, ex. Euphoria
They didn't age them down. They were always teenagers lol
This is actually the first series everyone on TWITTER *AGREED* that it’s horrible. I mean if everyone on the drama app itself agrees on something, it’s BAD.
This show is so mean-spirited it makes shows like family guy seem like they have a lot of heart and passion put into them.
The worst part for me is how the characters personalities are just nothing like their old selves and genuinely could’ve existed as their own entities. I agree that there HAVE been different renditions in this aspect but they never just became completely new people like they have in Velma.
Daphne- Daphne is characterized as the popular pretty girl who is well meaning and nice, but can be prone to accidents and clumsiness. She’s intuitive, sociable, and a people person, and she learns to use these traits to her advantage to get the Scooby Gang out of tough situations. In Velma she’s just another mean popular girl stereotype. Shes vapid and snarky and judgemental and for what?? She has never ever shown those traits. And also shes a drug dealer all of the sudden? Like why? In the original, even though she wasn’t the smartest member of the group and often got herself captured, Daphne was still well meaning and tried her best. She was a good representation of the idea that just because you arent the best at something, it doesnt mean you should stop doing it if you love it. Also Daphne was the one with rich parents that contributed to her being kind of oblivious and danger proned, but that trait is amplified by 1000 and given to Fred simply because they wanted a white man scape goat. One final note. In Velma, Fred is the one who is rich beyond reason. While he has been depicted as affluent/upper class before, I think it is Daphne to whom an affluent background was most important to her character. I think she is the only one who has consistently been written as a rich girl, so taking that away took a lot of her established background as well.
Fred was the leader-adjacent figure of the group and was a bit of a chad stereotype, yes, but he was still a nice person and a level-headed figure to the group. He was a goofy snd more subdued member of the gang that balanced everybody else’s more eccentric personalities. And despite his at times cluelessness, he was far from an idiot. In most iterations of Scooby Doo, Fred has been depicted with an understanding of college level physics and engineering, and its a shame that doesnt get more attention. In Velma, I dont even have to explain it. Hes a fucking mess and man baby for absolutely no reason. And can I just say Fred has never given a hint of being obsessed with being an Alpha male. He has always been a character that was comfortable in his skin and never tried to overcompensate like they make him do in the new adaptation.
Shaggy- Shaggy’s a stoner without the weed in practically every iteration of Scooby Doo. He’s just an anxious coward who wants to eat food and chill with his best friends. Aka, definitely NOT the pushover mess who knows about geodes and does dangerous things for the sake of Velma. Nor is he such a goody two shoes. Hes like the one decent character in this adaptation, but the problem is that he is only Shaggy (or Norville) in namesake only. Hes just a totally different character. Shaggy is NOT a goody two shoes pushover. He’s not the opposite of those traits, exactly, but they were never ever parts of his characterization. Also a lot of Shaggy’s appeal comes from his relationship with Scooby. Take out Scooby and you take out the heart of his character and rhe group.
Velma- A character who was originally smart with a tiny streak of sarcasm (but was still ultimately well meaning) is amplified into an insufferable snarky asshole. Yes, she has had her snarky moments, but they were all balanced with moments of well-meaning and kindness. That’s what a voice of reason type character needs. Not constant uplifting or overboard pessimism, but balance.
the normal shaggy is as close to a stoner as Hanna-Barbera could get away with and the shaggy from velma is about as anti drugs/ weed as you can get
We all know norville is on drugs. He just claims that he doesn't take it or like it.
Norvilles dad looks like Shaggy
That's what they should have used
Trying to make a Next Generation instead of rewriting History
every show has a different version of each charector but this is ridiculous because they arent anything like the charectors are supposed to be. Fred annoys me most because Fred is this dude who doesn't ever really care about gender and just wants to vibe (at least in the scooby doo ive seen) and here he's trying to be alpha male
what have they done to them im literally crying rn because they had to ruin them 😢
Velma was never condescending. This Velma is a mean girl who isn't famous in school but wants to be
She had a few bitchy moments in the past, like in Mystery Incorporated. But her character in general is not supposed to be. She's supposed to be smart and logical, but still caring and friendly.
i’m guessing you didn’t watch mystery incorporated. velma has been condescending in MANY iterations.
@@DANIELGORMANN yeah but at least she was smart in doing it in that show also she gets better
@@painvillegaming4119 you don’t realise that velma is a prequel…
@@DANIELGORMANN the greatest prequal of all time. I can't wait to see them get Scooby, solve mysteries, become a team, turn white, and learn the value of friendship.
Coming back to this one because It is incredibly funny for me that Velma got advertised so much but since the only thing it had going on was the shocking factor and offensive jokes, people stopped talking about it almost as soon as it ended and its been A WHILE since I last heard someone even reference the show
1:41
Yeah, it's not like the franchise has been around for over half a century. Oh, wait...
I can't even describe the magnitude of the insult of comparing Velma to Daria. Daria was ACTUALLY WITTY. And she actually did grow as a character and admit to her own foibles.
I think that he was saying that Velma is just a daria ripoff
Hell the last chapter of the series (At least the one I remember) is about a self reflection of herself and her attitude after remember a repressed memory of her childhood
Bro why modern remakes about movies or series always change their race like, can't you just make a new character or straight up like a different movies, don't need to change the race on the character that already has a race.
@Boinomas 1 eh, the race rarely matters. Just be honest and say you preferred it when they were white, instead of this half-ass reason that is purely based on feelings rather than logical reasoning. The original shows often don't bring up race, so changing it *shouldn't* matter. Because you if do think it matters, then you are at the exact same level as this show's writers, where they constantly bring up race. A shows themes and characters are what matters unless race is literally INTEGRAL to the characters and story (spoiler, it often is not)
@@j.e.g.9513 No idc if they white or not, i just like the original races, imo don't need to change it. Instead making a new movie or make another character.
It's totally possible to make main characters who are bad and have to become good. Mega mind is a pretty good example of this. But he still gave us SOMETHING to like about him. He showed himself as a redeemable character early on and gave us something to root for. Daria isn't really "bad" either. Angsty and snarky? Yes. But it's rare that she's ever unfairly so and the times where she is, the show quickly shows us why this was wrong. Velma quite literally gives us nothing.
Eh i hate “bad turning good” characters, 9 times out of 10 they end up being bad
Velma is gr8. Stop the h8!
The show makes it incredibely clear in the 2nd episode that Velma's character arc is "kinda maybe considering not being such a judgmental bitch" and continues to hammer in both that and her openness and willingness to improve. I'm not sure if we watched the same show if you actually think it "gives us nothing" in that regard.
Whoever is in charge of HBO now is steering it off the same cliff Netflix, Amazon and AppleTV fell off.
Hope HotD stays watchable. I don't want another GoT8.

I know Frank Welker, Fred's OG voice actor was a part of the series (he voiced this version of Fred's father), but I can't help but think that after the series was done, he got up upon reviewing the finished product and said the famous "Godfather" film line: Look at how they massacred by boy!
Those that hate Scrappy-Doo have to apologize right now, because we can all agree that this Velma show is even worse.

This is just so sad cause when I was younger I loved Scooby doo! I think an adult version where the mysteries get a little bit more serious could be really cool. I haven’t seen the show, but I think that it’s cool that Velma deals with those hallucination like things. Like I feel like there’s potential for a show like this to be really good, but they decided to make it stupid.

Velma is what you would get if you let Twitter Users write a show who didn't grow up with Scoody Doo filled with self inserts and narcissists.
From what I've seen, the writers seem to hate Twitter Users.

I think Alex wanted to point out the show wasn't as bad as all those other Scooby-Doo adaptions but when he finally watched the show he realized it was much, much worse.
A few of those adaptations while bad...still respected the formula of scooby doo some how.
Heck even they live action movies from the 2000's while trying to be more adult-ish still kept the recognizable quirks of the characters and the dog.
@@rushalias8511 I love the second movie, but the first ones also pretty good.
@@rushalias8511 the life action movies were actually very good representation of the animated characters. Looking back now in the era of life action movies of animated movies, they did a really good job.
i think his point was that people are pretending to like scooby doo. One of the biggest complaints about Velma is how it breaks the character molds that were supposedly set in stone, when in reality, they've been breaking those molds for years. No one who watched Velma actually likes scooby doo, and the franchise isn't exactly a masterpiece. This show is just another on the long list of flops that scooby doo can add to it's resume
@@agad1177 yeah… I thought I was going crazy watching some of the other reactions because so many fixated on it’s deviations from the “classic “ scooby doo and that’s such hollow criticism because it truthfully is bad but that’s not why.. if it was actually funny then it wouldn’t matter if it was faithful
this video helped me realize that the only thing Velma is missing is laugh tracks after their jokes. 💀
The show was so unfunny that the laugh track couldn't laugh
@@SKMedia252 I was just thinking that...
Don't give them any ideas💀💀
Do they even deserve laugh tracks?
@@MariOmor1definitely not
Jokes aside, the beginning part really drives home a big point. This is not the first Velma movie/ version of Velma that people absolutely shat on, thought was the worst thing. This Velma show is blowing up as if it's the biggest smudge on the holy Scooby-Doo franchises reputation. Yes its bad, funnily so, but there's other factors that contribute to why the internet cares about this one so much
you mean, these self proclaimed internet critics aren’t actually colorblind? What a shocker!
Thank you for literally making me laugh out loud...everyone's videos have been amusing, but you made me guffaw.
I hate how "adult" apparently means "everyone's a terrible person all the time" Like, I'm all for flawed characters, but that ain't it, chief. Even if you take Daria, who this Velma seems to be inspired by: She was a bit antisocial and made biting remarks about everyone, but that wasn't her whole character, and whether she was being sarcastic or sincere in any given scene said something about her as a person. She could be very open and vulnerable towards those she trusted (especially later on in the series, when she had developed a little), and while at times she acted as if she was better than everyone else, it was because deep down she felt she was worse. Sometimes characters treated each other poorly, but they also sometimes reconciled and even went out of their way to help each other, most characters weren't inherently malicious, just human. That's realistic! But for some reason we seem to think realism means everyone's selfish and mean, nothing really matters and everything's about sex.
She was a side character from Bevis and Butthead before getting a spinoff
Daria actually worked because of good writing, fairly original premise, and because she actually knew when she crossed a line and apologized or made up for it.
Y’know, I never realized how I didn’t take animation seriously. When Alex pointed out that the biggest video game adaptation out there is Pokémon but no one cares cause it’s cartoon really opened my eyes. Excellent point.

As an animator, it’s so refreshing to see people realize this almost in real time. I’ve never understood why people just claim animation is worthless. It’s our least restrictive form of visual media, and yeah it took us a decade or two to figure out how to best use it, plus even these days the most accessible cartoons can be restrictively animated to save on time and money. But think about drawing a picture-already hard in itself-and then drawing the same picture with slight tweaks at least 300 more times and you will get about 2 seconds of animation. It’s a ton of hard work, and until recently, it’s been written off as garbage and child’s play. Spread the word, we deserve the recognition
@@pastadash4684 300 frames = around 12 seconds of animation, not 2, yes animating is time consuming, but not that much bro, especially when you animate in 2D, you dont draw 24 poses for a one second animation, 300 frames for a 2 second animation means 150 frames per second ? Nope, we animate at 24 frames per second most of the time, i'm wondering if you're just trying to make a point by exaggerating numbers or if you're just lying about being an animator xD
@@bmaxime8771 I think he meant constantly refining the picture by redrawing, although I guess its gotten slightly easier with digital.
…Wait, video game adaptation?
Red and Green came before Yellow… (2 years in fact)
Yellow was based off of the anime, so I can get that argument.
But not RB&G.
Though at this point, no one really should bat an eye at that Gen tbh… it’s more broken (structurally and glitch-wise) than Mat’s family is in Digimon (domestically).
In regards to ppl saying the show seems like it was made by people who hate animation.
The writers seem to hate animation.
The producers seem to hate animation.
But you’d find it extremely difficult to hire animators who hate animation…
It’s nice knowing that at least some people involved in the project tried their hardest to be creative and try to increase the quality of the show even slightly.
Alright haha that "woof" there at the end has earned my subscription. Keep em coming!!!
Mindy has always been toxic and I'm glad it's finally coming more to light, but at what cost? What a tragedy, honestly. RIP the animators who tried in vain.
Yep and remember she cut off her brother for impersonating a black person to get into a good college, she didn’t cut him off till he was caught but knew what he was doing the whole time.
The kiss thing is totally disgusting. If it were a married woman getting kissed unwillingly at work by her male co-star, there’ll be calls to remove him from the limelight immediately.
This is the point of feminism: we call everyone on their bull crap. Not just men. If you get groped in a way that makes you uncomfortable, you have the right to say “this is wrong, don’t do that.” Doesn’t matter what you have in your pants or what you identify as
@@TheBadGuy15 what the f????
@@Grim_Sister That is not feminism, it's called equality. All feminism does is gaslight men and tell women that acting like whores is empowering.
Remember, the animators only change how we view the story, but they can’t change the story

I’d rather read 50k words of Scooby Doo fanfic than watch a full episode of this accursed show
I think the show is bait. As in Scooby-Doo as a whole is just isn't big or talked about much in this generation so in order to create buzz and get people interested again they just made up a bad Velma show to gain views.
@@Foun_D_OnePiece You could be right, though it does feel more like Kaling's vanity project.
@@Foun_D_OnePiece I have my tin foil hat on, I think that may actually be the case because Scooby Doo has been trending for days now and is on the public eye. People are going back to watch older Scooby shows and if that was their goal… it worked
@Hana Uzaki I have also started thinking Velma is meant to be the New Coke of the Scooby-Doo franchise, and its ts sole purpose is to make people want the original.
Here's the thing: Mindy has an absolute perfect voice for Velma, her voice fits so well. That said, this show is flaming garbage and should be considered a crime against humanity.
Honestly yeah I thought so too. It’s a huge shame.
wrong mindy, Mindy Cohn was a better velma.
I know, right?
I hope she takes the hint that nobody wants her around anymore
To bad she is a horrible bitch in the show.
I haven’t watched this show and have never had any intent to. To me, it seems like they took an IP, omitted the titular character, and completely changed the remaining primary characters’ personalities, so what’s left is near unrecognizable and only tangentially related (here, they investigate some mysteries too). So it feels like they should’ve just made something new altogether, but instead it feels like they just used the IP for name recognition and to try (unsuccessfully) and pull that fan base in, and could fallback on subversion
So many good points! I really feel like the creator/s sat around plotting how to make a cartoon everyone would hate and Velma was the result.
What I love about Velma, is that they don't even let the audience in on what clue Velma just found. She'll just be one-hundred-percent certain somebody is guilty, and then randomly change her mind because of some detail that nobody would have been able to notice.
ah, the old BBC Sherlock technique.
@@walkingexistentaldread3079 at least bbc Sherlock had substance. Velma is a disgrace.
@@walkingexistentaldread3079 More like every sherlock book ever. BBC was exceptionally faithful to the books. And the books were just that.
@@Zharina BBC was not faithful to the books. Moriarty was a ambiguously gay psychopath instead of a match to Sherlock’s intelligence and honestly, not that big of a character in the books. John is played as “exasperated straight white man who doesn’t know what’s going on” the entire show despite that John was just as smart as Sherlock in the books, just not as perceptive. they didn’t even allow Irene Adler to outsmart Sherlock like she did in her own story and of course she had to be extremely attracted to him for no reason. BBC Sherlock sucked.
This show got made because nobody had the guts to tell the show runners "No". That's really all there is to it.
Saw a horror skit that dunks on Velma by saying each version of her getting worse and worse is due to the universe getting thanos snapped and re written.
I’d rather watch that instead
Thank you for being 100% correct about a series/movie
The thing is that Daria is actually a relatable character under the surface. She isn't always correct and she isn't always smarter than every situation she is in. "Velma" (more like Mindy Kaling animated) always has a one liner or something snarky to say that none of the other characters can refute because she is some all powerful being.
I've never watched Daria, but some of the stuff about it I've heard point to it basically showing how isolated Daria is and how she thinks the world is awful, but she's not a bad person, just snarky and out of place in life. "Velma"... is basically a full-on egotist who is incapable of viewing herself as in the wrong and will instantly rationalize any and all attempts to point out that she is in the wrong or being a jerk. I think the reason nobody refutes her is less that she's right, and more that they are just so used to her shit that they ignore her, with moments where they call her out being because she's finally ended up pushing too far.
This is exactly how I feel about Wednesday!
@@PortiaDDoesStyle You think of Wednesday like Daria or Velma
@@compas32 I see Wednesday like Velma.

I’m not afraid to say that this is a horrible way to implement “inclusivity.” She really changed up the whole personality of every single character in the worst possible way.
Fr like okay, if we're going with a race swap fine, could be an interesting opportunity to recontextualuze the characters life experiences and how they became who they are in the end. But instead it just seems like an excuse to use race as a punchline, and it's kinda fucked that the POC versions of the Scooby gang are apparently WAY worse people than the white ones 💀like yikes
This is basically the finest example of the flaws of inclusivity for the sake of it.
@@ijornhribrudkrvir The race of the characters mirrors the voice actors, which makes sense.

I swear I am not joking: In high school, I wrote a story hoping to turn into a cartoon, gacha serie or comic (unfortunately it didn’t work due to school) and it was about five childhood friends from the 20th century (mainly between the First World War and Second World War) who were chasing mythological monsters from every country in order to stop them from destroying everything. I wasn’t a big fan of Scooby Doo but I always loved supernatural things and the idea of people chasing it, so that’s why I wrote it.
The main character was an Indian man who was a book smart type of person, curious and the lead of the team and he came from a poor family where his father and sister were murdered, leaving him to take care of his mom. There was also an Irish orphan girl from the street who was a very good painter, who seemed strong on the outside but who was sensible on the inside. There was also a British girl with some mental issues, alongside with anger issues but who was fully of curiosity, empathy and ready to do everything to help someone, she was the daughter of a great doctor and she was herself now mother of two kids and housewife. There was also a Russian man (my favorite) who was very kind, nice, calm and shy but who went to war and had some PTSD and finally a French man who was blind and very wealthy, who usually appears close minded unless it’s about his only friends and who is in fact quite generous and loyal and, alongside with the Russian guy, was hiding that he was homosexual.
At the end, they even started their business as monsters hunter with the name: The Magpies. Other members from different countries joined them (Poland, Germany, USA, Japan, Armenia, Turkey etc…) I remember there was also a female stray dog named « Crapule » by the French guy, kinda like a scooby doo character but without the talking part XD
When they weren’t chasing monsters, they were dealing with some important events of their era (the Armenian genocide for example, the right of vote for women, independance of some countries such as India, traitors during war etc…)
Then I saw Velma coming on the screen and I was like: Wait, that kinda looks like my story. And I started to watch it and I was like: Fuck no, I don’t want my story to be like that.
I just stumbled across this channel now and I'm a instant fan ! This guy's hilarious
I feel sorry for the animators who did their job of creating art and we end up getting that dumpster fire called Velma
The problem is that every character is a complete stereotype of there different ethnicity or social standing, like for example Fred is supposed to be the stupid rich white kid so all of his jokes are about that and shaggy is the weird looking nerd so his jokes are about him being sad, Daphne of course is the popular girl which means she has no personality and the worst jokes and then there’s Velma who is the quirky loner cool kid who is sassy and is apparently better than everyone, my point is that they aren’t characters but caricatures of what people are supposed to be like
Who the hell thought taking the high guardian spice approach was a good idea?!
Also it’s racist
It’s racist woke 💩. Velma is white. Stop trying to f up cartoons for you fake inclusivity garbage. Nothing like The original Scooby Doo.
Daphne has always been that way though
bro had me searching up what "caricatures" meant 💀
Okay for one my grandfather loves Scooby-Doo watching Scooby-Doo and I love it and I became a hardcore fan also fun fact Scooby-Doo once had a comic book where it was Scooby-Doo put in the Apocalypse everybody except for a couple people in the gang turned into monsters because of nanites
Can't wait for you to make a part 2 saying that no, it definitely got worse xD
The thing that bothers me about the Daria comparison is that if the writers really were partially inspired by her then they truly know just as much about her character as Velmas. Daria was never mean or miserable just to be mean, and in fact it bothered her when people thought of her that way. As she points out in one episode, shes not miserable or mean, shes just not like the people who surround her. She usually had a point to any "meanness" she displayed, and it wasn't out of pure spite or to just make someone feel bad. Sure she had a blunt honesty that because of her social awkwardness and inability to express her emotions very well tended to come out more biting in nature, but she also had a lot of complex depth underneath all her sarcastic remarks, as did pretty much every other character. If they were aiming for a modern Daria-like vibe then they couldn't have missed the mark more. Velma doesnt seem to have any underlying point to her words or actions, other than - I'm better than you and I'm going to tell you exactly how much better, smarter, wittier, etc etc etc than you I am, constantly.
But that's just my take 😋
Daria was mean sometimes, but it was always a moment of weakness or extreme frustration, obviously different from her usual quips. Also, Daria's quips were always really hilarious. Most importantly, Daria was an extremely likeable character - not to some of her schoolmates perhaps, but to the audience. Her friendship with Jane is honestly one of the best written friendships I've seen on TV. But that's all because overall Daria is a superbly written show. It's not just a hilarious comedy, it has depth, understanding of how people act and feel and uses animated comedy as clever means of exploring attitudes, relationships etc. That's why Daria, despite beeing so very much a 90s show I think still is entertaining and relevant, while Velma is instantly dated, so much of a caricature it's like a time capsule of a moment in time that never existed in the first place.
Daria is such a good show. I remember binge watching it and the episode where a genuinely mean bully dies asks the question of "Wait, but they were actually a very mean person, should we feel bad? I know we should, because someone died, but.. they were also a cruel individual..." it asked some difficult questions that I've not seen so called "adult" shows ask.
Daria was a person, with flaws and empathy. Everything about Velma and the entire cast is incredibly 1 dimensional and that sucks. A modern day Daria would be awesome.
I feel like if that's what they were going for, then someone must of watched Daria and absolutely not understood why Daria was like she was and what she actually represented and felt.
I love daria
I always thought Daria felt more like a commentary on jaded youth.
Velma just feels like it’s trying so hard to appeal to the audience that it went the complete opposite direction.
I remember Daría was so good
Ok but can we talk about how Alex evolved to reviewing animations?????
I want him to review animations more
He's reviewed some animations in the past, but only very rarely.
Yeah, I really love what he does :)
I only noticed it when you said that 😂
Freakazoid! Haaha
It's funny... That I agree with you that it could actually fit as a cutaway with Peter saying the exact same thing you said Peter would say about Velma. And it is very weird having a Scooby Doo Show without freaking Scooby Doo lol.
I think the question we’re all asking ourselves is this: “is Mindy Kaling ok?”
You know it's bad when Alex became serious with his review
" All animation even bad animation is kinda a miracle" that statement deserves respect
if you fuck up animation so bad it even becomes a masterpiece that would challenge the passage of time
in what way? Me making something that resembles velma is a miracle as I don't have the talent or the equipment for it. but a MULTI-MILLION dollar studio who can literally hire the best animators making a cartoon looking like velma comes off as cheap and lazy as you know they could do better but they didn't care. when someone makes the "The animation is bad" argument its more because its bad based on the money they spent. not that its the worse animation ever. but pretending that money is not a factor here is why I despise this statement.
@@DrFreeman23 I’m pretty sure what he means is that because most people have a negative opinion on animation due to the lack of budget being shelled out to create the best product possible and therefore not everybody understands what animation can truly be capable of, it’s a miracle that anybody at all decides to pursue it and become those “great animators” you mentioned in the first place. It’s a thankless job that is restrictive af because of how time consuming and therefore expensive it is to make well.
@@DrFreeman23 money isn't the only thing that matters, time is also a very important factor, as even with a big budget, not enough time can cause the animation to look trash.
I personally just didn’t think of the characters as Scooby-Doo Characters. Like it was a separate show from that franchise. That made it WAY more tolerable
The animation on some of those hallucinations is pretty spectacular 🤟🏻
