The GOAT and the b*tch

The evil's been defeated 🎉

A follow up to my original post

Miss Heed And Mindy Kaling’s Velma Have So Much In Common

* They are stuck up and self-centered assholes who care only about their own needs even at the expense of others. 

* They use and control people to fulfil their selfish desires and are unapologetic about it. 

* They are all take and no give. They expect everyone to do things for them but never do anything in return. 

* They use people’s emotions to get what they want. They have tons of feelings for different people and can often be divisive about how they feel about those people, especially if they want all of them. 

* They take credit over other people’s work. 

* They think anything they do is good despite evidence to the contrary. 

* They seek validation through other people and hate when they are not constantly showered with praise. 

* They are both bad friends who treat their so-called friends poorly and expect them to drop everything for them or give them undivided attention. 

* They both throw tantrums when they don’t get their way. 

* They blame others for their faults and deny they have any. 

* Has almost everyone hating her because of her poor personality. 

Seriously, when you think about it I think they both would be good friends, although I do think Heed would feel uncomfortable around Velma because she reminds her of her unpopular days in high school while Velma would think she’s a stuck up popular girl all grown up. I would give it five minutes before they both act like total bitches to one another.

I just wanted to tell you all that HBOs Velma is a character on the villain wiki

[timothymcgay]

We could have had some spooky ooky mystery machine stuff

We could have had then solving mysterious murders

Some blair witch shit

But instead Mindy decided to use it to work out her insecurities.

You can't tell me her hating Fred doesn't come from her getting rejected by a "Fred".

Daphne is a homunculus created from the girl hate Mindy has in her heart.

She wants the nerd girl to mean to be able to be a fuck you to everyone that hated on her when she was younger.

Like I understand the sentiment I understand the pain.

I just don't understand why she used Scooby-Doo as the vessel. :/

And I say Mindy like I say Todd Howard when I bitch about Bethesda

[scooby-doobert]

no seriously this!!!

for the past years it’s incredible how a new scooby doo movie is made every year and we don’t even hear about it (at least in Brazil, idk about the US) and the ones i tried to watch i can’t even go past 15 minutes, and you can’t even say it’s because it’s made for kids. those movies are BAD. they go from the premise that kids are stupid and make lazy movies.

they all share the facts that the animation is bad, the plot is bad, the dialogues are bad, and basically every movie uses weird cameos as if it’s going to make it better. and it’s not the writers and the animators fault, because we know that they are being exploited by an industry that values quantity over quality.

have you even heard about these movies? when we compare this to older movies, it’s mind blowing how almost everyone between 20-26 years remembers scooby doo movies from 1990-2006ish, because they were good.

the velma series are a new example of this. a series that has no sense of who was made for, what is its point, that receive harsh criticism from day one, and probably has a 2nd season because they know people will hate watch it. that’s the world we live in, with an industry that prioritizes money so much over quality so much it makes terrible things because they know bad publicity also give money, sometimes even more money than good publicity.

i wrote this in a rush, probably a lot of mistakes and confusing but whatever, i’m so pissed. i was away from the fandom for a long time and didn’t even know that show was renovated. things like this make me so depressed

I think they should let Scooby Doo shows and movies hibernate for a few years.

I'm just saying, when it "died" and came back with Zombie Island, Witch's Ghost, and eventually What's New Scooby Doo, shit was great.

When "Shaggy and Scooby Doo Get A Clue" was bad, eventually the really fun movies like Abracadabra Doo and the series Mystery Inc came out.

Let Velma kill itself for a bit. Let the greedy WB execs fester in the rotting corpse of a show they gave no shits for. Leave it alone for like 5 years or more.

Come back and Scooby Doo has an anime with the most GOATed fight scenes and sakuga tier chase scenes. Some JJBA tier references to old bands. Scooby eats God, mistaking him for a sandwich.

Anyway Velma got greenlit for a second season and I know I didn't watch it. Be apathetic towards the bitch the rest of its miserable run and let the gang come back for the better down the road

[mysharona1987]

Incels around the world.

I get the show wasn’t very good, but let’s not pretend the hatred of Velma was entirely about quality.

Dude I saw on YouTube channel regularly reviewing Velma and ranting for 30 minutes with a giant British flag in the background.

“I hated Velma. I hate everyone on this show. This is the worst thing I ever seen. Two seasons and a Halloween special of wokeness have driven me mad.” (He went on for 40 minutes.)

Cool, then. Everyone has an opinion.

But at any point in the past three years you could have just stopped watching it? Is anyone forcing you to watch a show you don’t like?

Just a suggestion.

[fabuloustrash05]

I heard the good news :)

[skiplo-wave]

Just don’t watch it and it won’t get renewed again

[seikotakai]

also velma is getting a fucking season 2 while coyote vs acme is probs going to shelved and written off for tax write offs despite being finished.

fuck man this sucks. i still feel so bad for the staff, the director, the writers, the vas, the people singing that meep meep choir, and wile e coyote fans. i remember marvin had a whole wholesome christmas movie which ended up being cancelled as well and got sad about that (also marvin not having much screentime in space jam 2, being a marvin the martian stan is suffering sometimes).

also please don't hate watch velma season 2, if you want to hate watch just look up reviews or clips on youtube...that'll just give warner bros, hbo max, and m*ndy k*ling more motives to make season 3 a thing. I'm not even a huge fan of Scooby Doo but i also still feel so fucking bad for scooby fans too right now...

[photo-roulette-wheel]

You can't verify this is real because you don't want to support the show and too scared to commit piracy

[virtuouswhitehatorganization]

Even Baby Amanda Is Disappointed

Man, I just love Amanda scowling at her older sister because even she knows she's fucked up and I have this feeling she grew to like Norville because he actually treated her right in comparison with her sister and hates how she treats him.

[likeamaya]

HEAR ME OUT

velma show SUCKS big time but…

i couldn’t stop myself from getting attached to fred.

he started off as a spoiled rich douchbag and ended up being, in my humble opinion, the most likable character.

it’s not like he’s genuinely rude, unlike mindy velma. he simply doesn’t know any better because of his parents.

and i really liked his “himbo trying his best” arc.

he is an actual sweet dork, it’s his parents that were sick, both for abusing him his whole life, trying to make him the spit image of his father, and also, well, the whole “mother removing brains of people to replace mine because i am not good enough for her” thing.

so, i just want to say that this show can’t be saved but fred… he has become my special number-one little guy :)

As I'm sure many of know, it was announced this week that the Max original animated series, Velma, has been officially cancelled after two seasons and a Halloween special.

And the entire Internet collectively went.....

And rightfully so.

Velma was truly a one of kind show.

It was the thing that brought just about everyone....

From all walks of life....

From all cultural backgrounds....

Together. To all collectively say...

"This is legitimately one of the worst things to ever be created by a human being."

Just about everyone has gone over everything wrong with this show, as it's flaws are blatantly obvious to anyone over the age of 10.

The mystery and story is bare bones and a total joke, with hardly any effort put into it.

The humor is an unholy amalgamation of all the worst styles that have been plaguing tons of media for the last decade.

From ha-ha funny man quips, to pop culture references, to everyone's favorite.....META HUMOR!

In the words of my GOAT Cartoonshi.....

"The Marvel Cinematic Universe and Rick and Morty and their consequences have been quite disastrous for the human race."

The show prioritizes an agenda over the actual story.

And even then, it's done so half-assed and with little to no sincerity.

It's social commentary is borderline offensive and is often years to DECADES behind the curve.

Its characters are either bland, terrible, annoying, or in the case of Velma herself, The Anti-Christ.

And most importantly of all, it's a DISGUSTINGLY spiteful show.

Like, I've seen shows and movies made out of pure incompetence.

I've seen MANY made out of pure greed.

But I've never seen a show or a movie made purely out of spite.

Like, this series is just dripping with disdain towards the Scooby-Doo IP and the even medium of the animation as a whole.

And with all that considered, you can't help but wonder....

Why was this show made?

It's pretty clear that the people behind this show hate Scooby-Doo, so why are they even trying to make a series based on the IP then?

Well....

If The Witcher, Rings of Power, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has taught me anything, people in Hollywood have these vendettas against popular IPs for some reason and wanna spite people for liking them.

So they create pretty half-assed and unfaithful adaptations of the work because they love seeing the fans of those IPs getting angry at them.

I know that sounds dumb, but this is Hollywood we're talking about.

But anyway, pretty much everyone on the face of the Earth was happy to know this piece of shit was finally dead.

Made even better with the fact that the series ended with Velma literally DYING and getting her soul sent to Hell.

If there's one thing you give the show, it at least had a happy ending.

But back on topic, people were celebrating about Velma being over.

Except for a few individuals.

Yes. There are a few individuals who have a problem with people celebrating the cancellation.

And guess where this is all happening.

You guessed it, it's Twitter.

Because of course it is.......

Where else can you find people having a problem with something actually good and positive?

As for why those individuals have an issue with people celebrating the cancellation of Velma, it's because of the fact that the artists and animators on that show are now out of a job and basically we're celebrating these people losing their jobs.

Okay, I have some things in response to this.

If there's one good thing about Velma, it was that it had really good art direction.

The character designs and art-style were really strong and dynamic, the animation was solid throughout the series, and the backgrounds were really pleasant to look at.

It's pretty clear that the artists and animators on this show were very talented.

Wished their talents were used for a much better show....

Also, I can kinda see why this would look bad.

The animation industry has been in a very turbulent place lately.

And one of the many reasons for it has been the mistreatment, overworking, and underpayment of animators and artists.

So celebrating the cancellation of a show does seem like a dick move.

Even if the show is terrible, at least the artists and animators are getting work.

However, in typical Twitter fashion, I feel like they've blown this whole situation out of proportion.

And the reason I say this.....well, allow me to introduce you to Lauren Mattson.

She's an artist based in Burbank, California, who currently works at Warner Bros. Animation.

Just this Wednesday, YouTuber Saberspark had posted a video on the recent announcement of Velma's cancellation.

And among the comments, one of them was from her.

Essentially, she revealed that was part of the crew that worked on Velma for entirety of the series.

And she did confirm that Velma was in fact over and done with, as the execs at WB have their minds on other things right now.

But the thing that really caught my eye was that Lauren said that she's glad the show is gone.

She pointed out how in spite of the friendly production crew and the surprisingly good work schedule, working on this show was a total chore.

Though she didn't really go into detail on why besides having to sit through the animatic reviews.

And I honestly think she doesn't really need to.

Why?

IT'S FUCKING VELMA.

It's flaws are just that apparent.

Like, I already had the suspicion that nobody besides Mindy and her circlejerk of writers actually enjoyed working on this show.

But this essentially confirmed it for me.

And if you want to bring up the problem of the artists and animators being out of a job, well.....

According to Lauren, she and rest of the crew have already moved on to other projects.

So yeah.....this cancellation is not really as bad or disgusting as Twitter keeps trying to make it out to be.

Like, the artists and animators have already moved on other projects, so I don't see the problem here.

And even then, out of all the shows that got cancelled in recent years, why are people pulling the whole "artists and animators losing their jobs" card for VELMA of all things?!

I don't even recall seeing this for shows like Inside Jobs or The Owl House.

You know, shows that were actually good and liked by the majority of the Internet.

And even among the seas of bad shows, I've never anyone pull this card for shows like The Prince or Santa, Inc.

Which may I remind you, both of which were cancelled after just one season.

Hell, the latter of the two was essentially canned the moment it premiered.

But anyway, that's all I have for now.

I know this wasn't exactly the most structured, but remember, I was trying to make sense out of something from Twitter.

That already speaks for itself.
