Worst of 2023 TV Shows #1: Velma (MAX)

To paraphrase 9 years ago. To quote the Joker “Now Where Do we Begin”

Mindy Kaling has a lot of fun as a writer, proving that with Office, her own show Mindy Project, and her Prime Exclusive movie that skewered the late night industry.

So a take on the mythos of the meddling kids before they formed up should have that same style.

Only they lose the Scoob, fun, charm, and self respect for the most unlikely thing to come of this year.

Making something so bad the collective community comes together to realize how much of a train wreck it was. Only unlike the office dundies metaphor, the boss is actually encouraging you to look away.

Loosely it concerns Velma Dinkley trying to come to terms with finding her missing mother, only to be swept up in a mystery that would see many things occur.

A reunion with a former bestie that would see the depths of her truth come to fruition.

An unrequited crush that would seem more harmful than helpful.

As well as her only close friend being stripped of his establishment for a cheap meta punchline.

Yes, by a longshot with only 1 hour of content in a January premiere this would run away with the worst show not only of 2023 but maybe of the last 20 years.

Meta humor can work in small doses, but not with something that doesn’t need to have modern ideals with long tropes icons.

At least Scrappy Doo has been vindicated as the franchises black sheep.

SUM 22: Mindy Kaling does her version of the Meddling Kids without the dog and ends up uniting the masses with a big letdown.

Danny is glad he actually made a plan for once. Jazz had been on his back about telling their parents he was Phantom, and he had managed to convince her he had a plan. The only thing that would extend how long it took was the frequency of ghost attacks.

He generally didn’t have much free time, so luckily Clockwork was willing to put him in a time bubble so he could get stuff done, like get enough sleep. But mostly he was training. Sometimes with Wulf to make portals, but other ghosts had come by too.

The power that was giving him the most trouble, and that he needed most for his plan was duplication. It took forever and he still couldn’t have more than 3 versions of himself at one time. How Vlad managed so many he had no idea.

Anyway back to his plan. He got all his stuff that he couldn’t afford to lose hidden away, got copies of all his parents blueprints and files, replaced items that he didn’t feel comfortable letting them keep if worse case scenario came, and a few more miscellaneous things.

He decided not to tell Sam and Tucker what he was doing. Though he did give them a mysterious file that they weren’t able to open yet. It would lead them to him later. But he needed their reactions to be legitimate, even if he hated having to potentially distress them for a bit.

He then sent his duplicate in his place back home while he went to the Ghost Zone to keep learning and keep an eye on things. Hopefully things went well, but he planned to spend a full living realm month here just in case his parents faked taking it well.

————————————————————————

It did not go well. About two weeks after his duplicate told his parents they knocked him out and buried him in a ghost proof coffin. Was he glad he wouldn’t have to experience his worse fears as a lab experiment? Yes. Was he still going to have nightmares of being trapped underground unable to escape? Also yes.

He was glad it was his duplicate though. It was easy for him to undo from a distance and since they had been connected he still had all the memories. He typed in the code for the file he gave his friends before he left. Time to go to Gotham, the one place he was able to wheedle out of Clockwork would be best for him.

[ID: reply from @tianlavellan saying “hey op i hope this isn't annoying please absolutely 100% ignore me if it is but - if you're willing to ramble about neve. make me like her? i'm so sad because i just don't care for her and i wish i diddddd please help me change my mind about her?”]

she’s SUCH a male character archetype, is i think what gets me

in veilguard every companion’s world adapts to the genre that the companion belongs to. dock town is constantly in a detective story, because neve lives there. (or neve is who she is because she lives in a detective story? food for thought.) but she doesn’t play the role women usually do in those stories. by rights she should be a femme fatale or a weeping widow or a dead body. instead, she’s the lead, the emotionally calloused private eye who smokes and can throw a punch, the protector of the people

and she gets to be so many other things that are in my experience usually only for male characters!! people respect her and rely on her without question, nobody surprised that she’s capable. she focuses on work while living off greasy fried food in a lonely apartment, none of which is presented as some kind of embarrassing failure of femininity, just what she’s chosen to value. she’s allowed to be suspicious, to make you work to win her trust, to withhold her forgiveness and supportive spells from you if she chooses, without being painted as a bitch for it. she gets to be the jaded lone wolf of the team! that’s crazy! it would be so easy to play her as an ice queen “strong independent woman” whose confidence never cracks, but instead they get the dry, cynical tone and tight hold on her emotions without denying that she has emotions or making her feel like less of a person who gets to have needs and griefs and worries too. they got a really good balance of how she clearly could use more support than she’s had, without it feeling like she needs a rescue. she can live without you, she just shouldn’t have to

she’s just so cool idk... i think she doesn’t reveal as much as easily as some of the other companions, but that’s why to me it feels so much more earned and interesting when she DOES open up

A friend of a friend says that this tweet (https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Inkipedia:Twitter_archive/2024/October#1851549607454806090), in their words:

the jp version of this tweet mentions that she “forces her bandmates to either play cruel pranks or give her sweet treats, and extorts huge amounts of sweets from them every year”

I have a hard time believing this, can you tell what it actually says?

fixing the auto translate: Tomorrow is Halloween. Surrounded by colorful treats, Harmony seems very happy. Apparently, she forces her bandmates to either give her sweet treats or be subject to cruel tricks, and extorts huge amount of sweets from them every year.

Since it says shes extorting them out of candy, it makes more sense that she would be the one playing pranks on them if they dont give her candy, not that she would be forcing them to play pranks? fun new piece of characterization for her.
