when did TV writers become the worst people in our society

What was canceled was the holiday special, not the actual movie (which is almost certainly also canceled, but at least it’s not finished first)

This all seems kinda... insufferable. 

It’s marketing 101. You can’t criticize diversity cash-ins honestly or you’re a bigot.  

Yes! Thanks for putting your finger on it. Its the classic “I have an idea, but if I don’t drape some known IP on it no one is going to show up.”

I blame Steven Universe. Not only does every new animated show look EXACTLY like it, they all traffic in the same performative virtue signaling and corporate faux-wokeness

This feels like one of those where a creator had a concept that they couldn’t get made, and so they grafted it onto an existing property. That can sometimes work, but hanging a lampshade on “this isn’t your grandfather’s scooby doo” in the promo isn’t the best sign.

And when she’s in the Mystery Machine, she’s not gonna say no, she’d never say no…because of the implication.

This is the first review of this show I’ve seen that actually liked it, I’d definitely take this recommendation with a grain of salt. It seems to basically just be a Mindy Kaling self-insert show with a recognizable IP slapped over it, which doesn’t sound like a good time.

What do you expect, for Mindy Kaling to write a character who isn’t a self insert in some way?

I feel like there’s nothing they’d want more than a couple of weeks in that right wing rage cycle just to drum up some interest, but I don’t think anyone will muster up the energy to care. I’m guessing this will be one of those shows that gets canceled and subsequently disappears from the service altogether.

It’s an extremely boring and homophobic choice to make Velma a lesbian. Daphne the lesbian would have been the gutsy choice. Or gay Fred.

It’s fine making Shaggy Black, but making not a zonked-out stoner is a bridge too far.

Making Velma into a little person is quite a choice.

I subscribed to HBOMax for a month last year to watch Suicide Squad and Harley Quinn, and during that period, I also introduced my then 5 year old to those too. He didn’t care for Bugs, but fucking loved Road Runner and Coyote. He pesters me constantly to open HBOMax to watch them, and I’ve recently thought about…

Ironically, absolute shitshows are still freely available on HBO Max.

This is the work of the devil. I remember when the Buggs Bunny road runner hour was deemed the most violent show on television and the destroyed through over editing the cartoons that i grew up on .that tells me there is something wrong with whomever is the butt monkey in charge. That person should be edited. Where on…

Whats Opera Doc is constantly ranked as the best Loony Tunes short ever made and among the best cartoons period.  This is unacceptable. 

Not to mention “influential,” “award-nominated,” and “deemed culturally significant by the US’s National Film Registry.”

the deleted cartoons include “What’s Opera, Doc?”, “Rabbit Of Seville,” “Duck Amuck,” and “One Froggy Evening”
