If you smell what the Rock is cookin... It’s asparagus.

I mean sheesh, Film-Flam gets a second chance before Scrappy does??

It’s borderline refreshing to hear a story of a major Hollywood celebrity who’s just kinda shitty to work with. Like, not quietly racist / misogynitic / homophobic / transphobic, not a secret QAnon dipshit, not flexing his status for sexual favor, not an Armie Hammer-style sex cannibal. Just a chronically late dick, us…

“incredibly angry folks with keyboards”

A considerable % of Kaling’s career is re-doing someone else’s work.

a “dong removing serial killer,”

“it might just break the brains of Scooby-Doo lovers”
It breaks my brain that there are still anyone who’d willingly self-identify as a ‘Scooby-Doo lover’.

If I want a diverse and vulgar queer teen romance / comedy with selfish and violent characters who learn to be slightly less selfish I’ll just watch Bottoms again, because that movie was aiming for the exact same thing Velma was and actually nailed it.

I thought the same thing!
Scrappy hasn’t been involved in anything Scooby related for almost forty years. He deserves a second chance at this point.

They already tried to make Scrappy a villain with the first live-action movie and it didn’t really work. Why retread something like that? Making him sympathetic would’ve…

Coyote Vs Acme gets canned but they still push out Velma S2. WBD really hates its audience

I mean, it is kinda like Venture Bros and Harley Quinn, in the sense that both VB and HQ do have some very “what the fuck were you even thinking? WERE you thinking?” moments — for Venture Bros, the standout is Sgt. Hatred and his whole… thing, and for Harley Quinn, it’s Penguin’s son’s bar mitzvah being themed around *…

I don’t hate Scrappy the way others do, but I think it would be somewhat interesting if they actually tried to make him good? Take him in a non-”Puppy Power” direction that doesn’t result in him being a villain just cuz.

I agree with you. I think the ideas of the show aren’t bad, it’s just the execution wasn’t hot.

“Harley Quinn (a show in my ever-expanding queue)“

I liked the idea and the cast behind Velma. But, I stayed away because the criticism that kept coming up and I couldn’t get past was that it was just mean-spirited. Bigots are gonna bigot and humor is subjective. But IASIP and WWDitS fills my misanthrope quota for entertainment already, I did not really need more…

I gotta love this article for trying. Velma still sucks, but at least this time it KNOWS it sucks and says “fuck you” to the people who say it sucks.

It feels like this show can’t even decide what genre it wants to be. Is it a murder mystery? A teen romance? A supernatural comedy? The writing is just all over the place, to the point where it feels like they’re focusing on the actual mystery under protest. They dedicate more time to Velma and Daphne’s romantic drama…

Nobody wanted this show , even I suspect Mindy Kaling, who would probably rather she could have made an original show rather than have to try and stretch the skin of an existing IP over her ideas.

Yeah, I wanted it to be good and was ready for a different take but season 1 was shit and I refuse to be someone who “hate” watches any show. Outside of my comment here, I’m not giving this show any of my time.

This feels like one of those things where a show or movie that barely anyone watches “raises a middle finger to its haters” to give the impression that anyone is actually still talking about it. I haven’t heard anything about this show since like the first week it came out.
