"or go broke"? I mean, 90% of the audience agrees that Velma is somewhere between not very good to hot garbage. I don't think Wrongs On your Kids and Employees (or whatever the acronym is... what is it with 'merkins and acronyms in law anyways?) has much to do with it.
@shootER @Tuckerfan or whoever moderates Media Central, I think it's time to pull the rip cord on this thread and move it to the Red Room.
Nope, they've gotten started. Don't worry, FF, Velma will always be there for you. Side by side, forever. https://www.darkhorizons.com/velma-s2-in-the-works-at-hbo-max/
Honestly, this show ain't even worth laughing at the CHUDs to see get a second season when so many other, better shows were sacrificed for no good damn reason. I'm genuinely surprised Harley Quinn didn't get the axe yet and until the final episode of season 4 drops, I won't believe it's safe, either.
but HQ is actually funny with Kayley Cuoco being a better written and acted version than Margot Robbie's vanity projects. That there's a good, developed supporting cast helps too, rather than some C-listers acting as set ups to her witty one liners. Velma suffers from "look at me being all marginalized and special despite being better than everyone" and comes across as mean... maybe even "better" than it's audience. HQ is a diverse, dysfunctional, but otherwise supportive found family. The two aren't really in the same category. I mean, look how empathetically HQ reacted to getting into Batman's head by switching into being a therapist and seeing the terrified child behind the mask. Velma doesn't have that capacity and so is herself, unsympathetic.
Far as I care, HBOMax existed for Snyder Cut, and little else. Anything good we got on top of that was/is gravy.
So it seems like they have started to lay some of the groundwork for the transition. After the stress of the season, Norville's dad asks him if he has considered trying marijuana. I assume he's going to follow his advice and really really like it. The plot of this season had to do with a serial killer who was following in the footsteps of an old Army project called Project SCOOBI involving brain swapping. Now maybe that was just a fun (or "fun") wink at the audience. My predictions as to where the show might go were terribly off, sadly. But I think it's entirely possible that a brain gets swapped into a dog and that's our Scooby. We see in the final episode that Fred has a van from 1969 that he has painted with flowers and plans to use to solve cases with. Don't forget that Daphne is an Asian redhead.
Man, that's fucking dark if Scooby is a human brain implanted into a dog. How would you even cope with that? Marijuana and massive sammiches... with the Scooby Snacks as a concentrated hit of THC for when he has an "episode" (which will happen once an episode)... unwittingly making Shaggy both his enabler and co-addict. Fucking dark, man.
I jsut noticed something... the character colour scheme of Janine in Real Ghostbusters is pretty close to Velma's...
MTV, Comedy Central, and Adult Swim have done WAY worse, and no one's eyeballs exploded until now. I do agree with the sentiment, that it makes fun of woke while being woke...so who the Hell is it for?
Did MTV, Comedy Central and Adult Swim completely screw up an existing beloved IP? Because that’s why it’s getting the hate it so rightfully deserves. But we know you don’t understand this because you have no issue with Discovery.
I liked original 80's Thundercats. I didn't care for or bother to watch the cutesy "Adventure Time" looking reboot. I'm still breathing. Funny how that goes.
Did you just not watch the Thundercats remake, or did you hurl invective at anyone who didn't like it? Did you support it as a valid alternate take (even tho it was pretty much shit, just like Velma)? You've jumped pretty hard on anyone not worshipping at the Velma altar, just like you get cranky when someone criticizes that awful Ghostbusters movie with the SNL cast.
We didn't have a thread on it, if I recall correctly. But if the crybaby-ing for Thundercats 2.0 had amused me, yes, I would have gone full Bugs Bunny on that shit. If you want to call the Elmer Fudd treatment "invective" to be melodramatic, knock yourself out.
Oh and... The cast got death threats. That's not "criticism". No, I got "cranky" because it was a symptom of the oncoming Trump-ification of our discourse. I naively thought it could be beat back with reason. I was wrong. Silly me.
Nobody here sent them death threats, you're just using this as an excuse to be a jerk. Can we have one thread without Trump's name being invoked? "Trump ate my homework."
