Is "Velma" as terrible as the reviews are saying? SPOILER: Yes.
"Velma" is everything we don't want in a television show. What are your thoughts? - Zábava
Spoilers - The only best part is literally Scrappy Doo killing Velma
"Spoilers" dude, don't worry about that, i doubt there's a single human being out there that will be bothered from getting Velmindy spoilers lol
@@elfascisto6549 😂😂
Wait the main character gets offed? 😂
@@Brittanysplittany yeah she’s officially a ghost now
Scrappy is a hero
They hate wealth but all of them are wealthy
They really love wealth but hate when others have it, especially more of it than them.
Envy is the root of Socialism
They identify as poor
Don't try to make sense of their nonsense
Same with diversity. Promote diversity so you can make enough money to live as far away as diversity as possible.
Having Papa Chen watch this could be considered elder abuse
Sometimes I feel bad for the poor Papa Chen 😅😅
although he does take it in stride and I suspect his comments are dead on target.
Mindy Kaling should have been banished from the entertainment industry for at least a decade for creating this mess. Instead it gets renewed. Just another day in clown world.
She'll probably will be blacklisted for because of this show.
Well Ms. Chen you're going to have a lot more to complain about because I just heard there is going to be a Scooby-Doo live action reboot series. So another mess to despise. Maybe.
If it’s any comfort, many streaming companies order 2 seasons of a new show. That’s why some shows like Rings of Power and Halo made it to S2, even though audiences hate it.
Now, if Velma makes it to season 3, I’ll be very disappointed.
Really can't believe trash like this somehow gets greenlit. An industry creating content for the industry, not the viewers.
It was made simply because HBO hates you. Not even joking. Have you seen some of the twisted stuff they've made in the last half decade?
meanwhile shows like Venture Bros get cancel (sorry bad english)
It's like Fat Basttard farting "waft with me!"
Partially because idiots keep hate-watching it.
Anybody that is DEI wet dream fails upwards in Hollywood the tech world and other fields nowadays and the ruin everything they touch in there infinity mission to make the world as miserable and horrible and ugly as they are they can create anything that's good beautiful or beloved the can only destroy pervert and kill things that better more talented people created
Finale: Batman comes in and pulls the masks off all these lame characters. Turns out, it was the DEI department the whole time!😂
Please, don't bring batman into this mess. Even better, the OG characters show up and unmask them, and Velma is Mindy
"It's old Man Larry Fink!"
@@BookOfWorms 🤣🤣🤣
@geonunes10 Well, could be KISS, Harlem Globetrotters, 3 Stooges or the Adam's Family, I guess.
@@xxdawgzillaxx4633 Throw in TMNT too. Just in case
Lauren, we appreciate you sitting through this crap so we don't have to. For the love of all things holy, DON'T SUBJECT PAPA CHEN TO THIS ABOMINATION!!!!
Luckily I made it through the first episode of season 1 and never went back my eyes have been saved from the torment
None of the women involved in this show can get a man obviously. Explains the hatred.
What do you call a female incel?
Remember, Mindy got a presidential medal for season one. Think about that. But yet there’s no agenda correct? Entertainment is dead.
Like president, like medal. What can I say
Similar to when bummer got his Peace Prize... which is now meaningless, having thrown their own reputation into the sewer.
Wait. Really?
Well, to play devil's advocate, it was never explicitly said WHAT Mindy got the medal for. Maybe it was for 'Velma,' maybe it was for 'The Office' or 'The Mindy Project.'
Don't get me wrong, 'Velma' sucks donkey- balls and Kaling is a horrible person and I can name at least a couple people who'd be more deserving of the medal than her (i.e. Brad Bird, director of 'The Iron Giant,' 'the Incredibles,' and 'Ratatouille'), I'm just saying.
@@TheDoctormandrake Sort of. She got the National Medal of the Arts, in 2021, given to her at the White House by Biden.
It's the nation's highest award for advancing the arts in America.
If you look at the others who received it, there's an obvious agenda behind who was chosen.
Of the 4 men, 2 are POC's, the 3rd is a "rainbow advocate", and the 4th is a big Dem donor and fund-raiser.
Of the 6 women, 5 are also POC's, and the 6th emceed at DNC in 2020... supporting Biden, and had supported Al Gore and Obama before that.
Wow, a line about "sensible tax reform" coming from an astroturfed actress who definitely doesn't cut a check to the IRS for way more money than she owes
Typical case of "I have watched this, so you don't have to". Thank you Lauren.
"They improved a little bit from season one, but still it's rubbish. It's crap... my eyes hurt."
😂
Mindy acts like she hates rich white men, yet in most movies where she inserts herself, pines for the white guy. Fred was a really decent person and a good leader. He didn’t deserve to be crapped on like that. I guess by making Shaggy black they didn’t want to make him a stoner anymore? I loved that part about Shaggy. They destroyed everything good about this show. Daphne was beautiful but not a mean girl. They made all of these characters annoying shallow jerks. I think Mindy is a very troubled person who doesn’t love herself but hates everyone else more.
I always thought that Daphne and Freddie were a secret thing...
I really don't get what the Velma writers are doing, especially with the Hex Girls. In Scooby Doo history, they're always a young, popular, goth girl rock band known for being attractive. They're always around the Gang's age, too. So who in the writers room said
"Hey guys, lets bring back the Hex Girls for the next season, it'll be a great nod to the fans. But also we should only bring back one, and she's a retired, 40, physically unattractive single mom who runs a occult shop."
"Dude, yes! That's brilliant! Man, the fans gon love this!"
They are "subverting expectations." Aka making dog shxt that nobody wants lol.
@@GaigeGrosskreutzsMissingBicep You explained why they hated Thorn, cause she was pale, gorgeous, and popular. They can't have a pale skinned character be attractive and likeable, so middle aged single mother will have to do! If they bring in Dusk they'd do that same, while propping up Luna as she's the black girl of the group and would somehow be the one wrote all their songs along with being the true star.
The writers have a very... interesting relationship with the concept of edgy humor.
Mystery incorporated is a better show.
Mystery incorporated, The OG series and the two og live action movies is literally my recommendation if someone who wants to get into the Scooby Doo franchise
I can respect that opinion, but I personally think the relationship writing made Mystery Incorporated a slog to get through. The mysteries were good and intriguing, however you just keep getting reminded about the relationship drama between Shaggy and Velma. It's definitely way better than Velma, but still flawed in its own way.
SAME WAY,
Honestly Velma is just trying to take the best things from mystery incorporated but push them to the extremes and make it more raunchy. Velma is just shit and super lame. I can’t believe it got a second season…
@@BrandonScott-mi5pz same way? If you're referring to my comment, there's a bit of a difference between the shows' take on romance. Velma's idea of romance is constantly making out and wanting to bang, whereas Mystery Incorporated had a petty love triangle that pretty much dehumanized Shaggy as Scooby and Velma fought over him like possessive girlfriends.
Interesting that they make Fred Catholic and say he needs to pay a tithe, because that isn’t even a Catholic rule. It’s a Baptist rule.
As if any Catholic can wear the collar. The cultural ignorance is mind-numbing.
@@JoeOvercoat I’m all for R-rated and politically incorrect humor like South Park, but I wonder if Velma has jokes where the target is Judaism or Islam.
Ironically they didn't even whip out their own smartphones to Google it in their joke about not whipping out a phone to Google it
Wokists are so amazingly stupid, its truly unbelievable. The tithe thing could have been checked out in one minute. The producers and runners of this show should be in a mental hospital.
The fact that a man who fought cancer couldn't go through watching this series speaks volumes
I'd wager after going through such a terrible existential set of circumstances like that you realise that you don't want to waste your time torturing yourself with garbage like this.
Spoilers: Mindy Kaling
Honestly the best thing about the whole show is the brave critics who trash it to smithereens.
Lauren really took one for the team this time. 😂
After watching season 2, my big concern is that they may do a Halloween special, where they bring her back, and then season 3.....
I salute you along with other critics who have to suffer through trash like that show. When I saw the images of thorn I was so utterly offended.
Taking jabs at rich people is ironic coming from a woman worth $45M. Maybe Mindy Kaling feels like she's being discriminated against cause she's not a 100 millionaire or billionaire.
If one is part of the 1%, then one envies the 1% of the 1%. It’s the nature of the beast.
21:45 "are you going to watch season 2?" nope never.
Velma is so bad that I wanted to throw out all the TVs in my house and just read books
So this garbage was already bought and paid for, but they should’ve been smart and not air it cause it’s STILL absolute trash.
A shame we couldn't have gotten something good. Like Wheel of Prime season 3..............I am so sorry for that terrible joke.
WB can kill off entire FINISHED movies like "Scooby-Doo and Krypto Too", but they'll shove crap like this onto the public? Make it make sense!
@@JaydenHamilton1945I really like the wheel of time series.
@@TheDoctormandrake the books? Absolutely! Amazing series. The show? Hot garbage.
If you want to watch the show...I would recommend disparu's video. He goes through the episodes thoroughly enough that you could consider having seen it.
You're a trooper! Many CZcams reviewers commented that they refuse to watch season 2 after suffering through season 1😂
Poor Papa Chen for suffering through that too. Check out the Velma Meets the Original Velma CZcams animation for recovery. Amazing piece of horror art by Avocado Animations!
Hers & disparu’s reviews are my favorite lol they really take one for the team to review this trash for us lol
Can't Wait for the reaper's review. Thanks Loren.
Referring to the police as lice 😲
Lauren's critique, along with her makeup game, is as usual, on point!
I freaking love the Hex girls. Disgusting how they did that.
This series is an abomination. It butchered the original, and Im sure that there were plenty of great shows that were canceled before being released on HBO, instead they allowed this shtfest. What a disgraceful platform.
This show somehow gets renewed, while so many genuinely good shows get canceled. Make it make sense.
If Mindy does get a season 3 I just fully believe she has blackmail material on them.
Hilarious desecration s2. But also how cruel are you to make Papa Chen watch this? This is abuse.
Mindy Kaling has never done or said anything funny in her life.
I’ve watched so much Scooby Doo before. Tons of the older stuff - the shows and movies, etc. Great brand. And this show is such garbage for spitting on all of it. It’s clear they had no interest in Scooby Doo but since they cloaked themselves in it to get watches at first, they have to keep going. And they keep going by desecrating everything about it.
See if you're ever feeling like you could never make a good story just remember Velma exists. You could write a story about an egg rolling off a countertop and it would be more emotional and funny.
21:30 "or maybe UK; they're a bit weird as well" lmao Poppa Chen's commentary was excellent 👌
In the finale of Scooby doo and the 13 ghosts, they turned fred into a cheerleader as he feels like a fraud, as Daphne has always been the true leader.
Yeah, that was a red flag for what was to come in Return To Zombie Island, which was arguably terrible in every aspect of writing. It just missed poor relationship writing tbh, cause Fred and the mystery machine truck had better chemistry than all of the Velma 'characters'.
@@MikeFireheart truth my friend, I grew up on Scooby doo, hurts worse than STD
I can automatically tell based on the expressions of the animated characters that this would be one of those cartoons I'd hate.
This Season was so chaotic and worse than the first season.
Poor Papa Chen.
Thank you for watching so we don't have to. After learning the story you can tell the writers are damaged.
They made the characters damaged.
How it got greenlit or renewed speaks to decline of HBO.
Velma is Indian right? Indian families in the states are some of the richest.
lol you actually watched this? Respect! I couldn't do it.
Just, how the hell did they get permissions to use all the Scooby franchise characters and properties?
I like the clip at which you talk. It's nice and unhurried.
Correction: Daphne is Asian and Gay (!!!) because DEI. I think some accountants came in and discovered they could get some more of them government dollars if they diversified their portfolio- errr, skin color and sex orientations of the cast. And by the way, as always, "diversity" means less straight white Christian men. Fewer, that is.
The writers of Velma are giving all the credibility Freud could ever want for his theory on Penis Envy.
I watched Rings of Power and like Papa Chen hopes there's not another season of Velma I hope there's no new season of Rings of Power.
They need to give her an “I’m Asian!” sign because she looks white to me.
Poor papa Chen 😢 going this 💩
I'll just rewatxh the Classics series and What's New Sxooby Doo.
Some pretty top-notch movies. Pirates Ahoy, Zombie Island, and The Witch's Ghost have great music
How is Lauren not in prison with her horrific elder abuse documented for all to see?
I hate-watched the first season. I started to hate-watch the second season, but then realized that I don't hate myself that much.
As a white country hick Canadian male: I'm so sorry for your loss! SO much time lost doing anything else....
Anything after Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. isn't Scooby-Doo canon. Maybe the Scoobs movie but after that...
I disagree on the concept. Kids properties shouldn’t be repurposed for adults. Adults need to move on from children’s cartoons and the kids need something to enjoy. Once the IP “matures” it’s hard to get it back in the bottle.
I think it truly depends on how it's done, tho.
Take comic book characters for examples.
They are adaptable to multiple mediums. They were able to make multiple versions of characters like Joker or Deadpool. Some versions are kid friendly while other versions are dark and graphic for more mature audiences.
There is actually a more mature non-canon comic of Scooby-Doo in a futuristic post apocalyptic like setting, and it's actually really well received.
there are times i feel sorry for your dad
After the fourth episode he left to write his will because he was sure he wouldn’t make it through episode 5
Papa chen is probably praying they don't make a season 3 because Lauren is probably gonna get him to watch it too
You watch what we cant...Thank You for your service!^
The only similarity to the original show is the clothes.
This makes the live action movies look like Shakespeare
It's only at 12% because more people reviewed it and the minimum rating is half a star, not zero, so....
Well said, on so many accounts, especially the advice not to watch the actual show.
HAHA the beginning lil papa Chen
Just watch Mystery Incorporated. It is the best Scooby Doo ever.
I will not lie to you: A Japanese Anime reimagining of Scooby-Doo where the Mystery Gang have to put a stop to a series of supernatural killings by finding and catching the killer before too many people are murdered would make a better series than Velma.
Thanks for taking one for the team...well all of us. One good thing about Season 2 is that it's almost nonexistent online with news stories and videos. Like the world realized it's a dumpster fire and just avoided it, not even bothered hate watching. There's hope for us all yet.
Tv media really is dead
Pffff
@@SubZero-hs9xcyou disagree
@@lmddhumour yes
1:21 To give a letter grade to the execution, you’d have to consult Dr. Seuss’s “Out Beyond Zebra.”
Look how much Papa Chen loves his amazing daughter! Sat through that pile of you know what all for the sake of love❤😂
The most fortune thing that happened to me since watching this show last year is that I almost forgot it ever happened. No way I'm going to waste a second watching season two.
Was skeptical about this review until I heard papa speak, papa's word is final
I saw one commercial on YT, 3 days before it aired, must have been a really unlucky day.
I literally HATE them for what they did to not only to the gang but also to Thorn.
I'm surprised Papa Chen didn't guilt trip you in his segment lol, I definitely would have.
Its crazy bc Lola was dropped multiple times and the glass never broke. But Velmas died when dropped once
Poor Papa Chen. Lauren must've been mad at him to have him watch Velma season 2 LOL
If whoever wrote for venture brothers got brought on itd be so good. Remember the scooby doo parody they did on the venturestein episode?
Poor papa Chen!
Someone once described this show as Family Guy if all the jokes were cutaway jokes but they never showed the cutaway scene.
The best version of Scooby-Doo can only be the “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated” version of 2010. And the two live action from the early 2000s. Aside from those, everything else is trash. And Velma takes the cake for trashiest
Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated was good with mysteries yes, although the relationship writing was pretty bad. I mean, the show got bogged down by the love triangle of Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo. It's why I find it hard to get through the first season and the first half of season 2.
@@MikeFireheart Oh yeah that's definitely one of the more annoying parts... Which is why I prefer season 2!
@@nickynicks_ I don't blame you and even with that problem, it is still better than Velma as a TV series.
Nope. If it does not have phyllis diller or some globetrotters I am out. 70s and 80s scooby doo was prime. Best movies and tv from that era.
I can understand this show making it to season 2; usually streaming companies order 2 seasons at the beginning.
If this show somehow gets greenlit for a season 3, then I will lose all hope for entertainment.
0:52 That’s almost literally “Mystery Incorporated.”
The Hex Girls is literally why I have a thing for Goth girls today. What they did to the Hex Girls is pure evil.
Earth Wind Fire and Air
This disrespect to Thorn is the most heinous thing I have ever witnessed.
this is really well done, particularly what i presume would be the editing. poor papa chen - is this child abuse, where the child abuses the parent?
17:06 But Lauren! They had no choice but to use another IP. They saw what happens when you make your own message IP with Bros.
what if we had a flat income tax? we could even exempt those under a certain threshold? or got rid of write-offs, aside from dependents?
or abolished the income tax altogether and funded the government only with tariffs and consumption taxes?
Who even knew there was a second season of this shit
This show is literally a waste of entertainment
"Riverdale" was literally the most insane tv show I had ever seen a "Scooby Doo" show in that style would be worse. Much worse. Let's we forget The CW has outright supernatural crap in their Nancy Drew series.
Riverdale is a masterpiece for its insanity it was like a fever dream I watched and I was fine with it lolz
I’ve come around. I love this show now. It’s so stupid it’s hilarious! I couldn’t stop laughing through out the whole stupid show. Awful taste but great execution. Voice acting, sound, music, animation were all great really. The writing is just so incomprehensible I just couldn’t contain myself. You honestly can’t see the twists coming since they’re sooo whack.
I can’t deny that I actually enjoyed myself and my time watching this show. So bad it’s good! 8.5/10 🎉
Did she say Velma is in a lesbian relationship with her mother? That is really wrong
Hey Lauren, in case you were wondering, the guy in the intro is Steve Rogers. I recalled that you might not be familiar with him 😂
I honestly couldn’t believe it when I saw this on HBO
Nice to know Papa Chen thinks we in the UK are 'a bit weird' 🤣
18:40 Actually it is a good sign in that there probably won’t be a third season.
