Yeah, this is the like the moment were the girl awkwardly goes 'Mom, Dad... I have something to tell you. I'm gay.' Mom "Well of course you are dear. Make sure you get some breakfast before school. I just baked the biscuits." Girl: "You knew?" Dad: "The only person more into your brother's girlfriend than your brother was you. Mmmm... damn fine biscuits, Marge."
I asked my sister in law how and when her son came out to her. She, first, choked, then said “not only did he never tell me, but if I ever asked he’d say it’s none of my f-ing business.” And I was like “that’s my nephew”
So, everyone's gonna not watch the clip, and assume she's lesbian, and say nothing about the ethnicity swap? And that the ethnic swap is revealed at the exact second she says "well, at least Judy is still white".
Maybe they will really tick the republicans off and Velma will play a flute from a slave owner they never knew had. Velma being black seemed to fit in so well I wonder if I always knew she was black.
Given Mindy Kalling is a producer and voicing Velma, she's gonna be Hindu Indian. Shaggy is the black kid but I dunno if they thought out the optics of that decision too much
No Scooby Doo, and Shaggy is specifically not a stoner? And also each of the main four is drawn in a different animation style? Lol.
So, Mindy's Velma is straight, and YT CHUDs are cheering because somehow this un-gays the white one. Because sexuality translates across the multiverse, because...quantum? Yeah, CHUDs just gonna CHUD.
Ok. I've never in my life commented one way or another on Velma. However, several men in my life have mentioned that I remind them of Velma and that they liked her better than Daphne because Velma was 'natural' and didn't wear make up and fix her hair and dress "fashionably". So, now Velma is being recognized as someone worth pursuing. Naturally, they're going to make her homosexual. I've been accused of being homosexual all my life for exactly the same reasons. This is not an anti-LGBT statement, just a big fuck you to everyone who always chose Daphne over Velma.
I was a Velma chaser since I was little, but I had to be closeted about it, cuz..y'know...society. The internet opened things up, and made it okay.
Yeah, these seem like waaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger problems than anything the CHUDs are screaming over. I give this show half a season tops.
dunno what to tell ya except to say she's been a fave amongst lesbians and other queer groups for decades. James Gunn wanted her to have a girlfriend in the 2000s live action movie way before media ever did that sort of thing and Warner said no to that.
Watched the first two episodes. Thought it was pretty deece, and the reviewer linked up above needs to get the stick removed from their butt. No it's not Shakespeare, but if you go in wanting something poking fun at the original cartoon, teen movies/TV shows in general, you'll get what you came for.
The only thing I'm interested in at this stage is to see one giant fucking orgy in the back of the Mystery Machine. (Scooby-Doo excluded. I have standards.)
I watched the first two episodes of this and it's utter trash. This is like The Last Jedi of Scooby Doo, but even worse. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm sorry, but I didn't watch Scooby Doo for Velma, I watched because of Scooby and Shaggy. I do think Velma is an important character that can have her own show, this is not Velma, this is VINO. I'm so tired of corporations that own IP's just trying to capitalize on name recognition without understanding the characters, the story and the basic tone of the show. At least Mistery Inc was as close to the original, but updated for modern audiences.
Oh, I think they understood the IP just fine, long enough to cash in on name recognition and ignore the rest. Because shit like this would never get off the ground without riding the coattails of genuine products people actually want to see. It appears that consumers of ALL demographics are finally waking up to this talentless hack behavior, and I am enjoying it.
