Velma Season 2 PROVES Why Hollywood is Dying

[@disparutoo]

Velma gets officially renewed by HBO Max for season 2, which we already knew because it was done before the series was even released. But at least now we know they're not cancelled it due to crowd response. With some hoping for cancellation, I'm glad we got a season 2 because every new series exposes how Hollywood sees it's customers. And them desperately trying to work out why they're burning money without realising it's actually them causing it will always remain funny. For me, I'll continue to get my entertainment laughing at Hollywood. But what do you think about the renewal? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

That being an Indian in the states is hard, by showing her to be the worst person imaginable to every one around her and still getting all she wants? Please, what are you trying to tell us, writers

[@vincentgraymore]

One thing that these people fail to understand is that good shows do have messages. Things like strive for happiness in your life, cherish those around you, be a better friend, etc or life is horrible regardless of what you do, people never really change, etc. It is just that the messages they want to send is simply not what the audience wants. Regardless of the polarity, the message has to resonate, and the ones they push does not.

The article does not say that SHE said anything about a second season of "Velma." A lot of studios have continued to work on projects, hoping to get them renewed, only to see them get cancelled. It looks as if "Velma" was cancelled back on 18JAN2023; and they are going by Screen Rant's article (which cited non-existent EIDR "Velma" second season entries, which were likely deleted on 18JAN2023). The numbers innevitably dropped off significantly, after the first episode (the only one that is free to view, and is the touted premiere episode). Mindy Kaling, also, would not miss the opportunity to tout the approval of a second season. In addition, she deleted all but one of her tweets, which had to do with the show. Also, the studio still has to answer to David Zazlov. Mark my words, unless something drastic happens (like a high-up source is QUOTED), this fecal fire is not getting an aired second season.

[@marychocolatefairy]

I noticed that too about the EIDR, that there's no actual season 2 listed. The link I saw on one of the access media sites (movieweb, iirc) led to Velma season 1 episode 2 rather than to Velma season 2. It's only been the access media talking about the "renewal"- I still haven't seen HBO actually come out and say there is one. The closest to it was when it was stuck at the bottom of that article, which as you said was not a part of a quote. I did notice in the article that Mindy Kaling is on tap to make a new show for Amazon- indicating they're not planning to continue Velma, whether before or after s2.

@@marychocolatefairy True, studios don't generally let their "talent" be contracted out to other studios, while they still have a contract with them. Since, Warner Brothers and Amazon are separate, Warner Brothers is likely not keeping her on.

As a member of Goodreads since 2013, I can add an additional reason why bad stories get a second and even third seasons (because some writers say as much when they get bad reviews). “You just don’t understand the book.” And thus a second season must be made so they can make you understand it better. As if the overall, underneath, and subliminal messaging will be worth the shoddy writing. IT IS THE MESSAGE (content) that’s the problem. And no matter what you say, just like those American Idol audition people, they won’t take criticism or advice that goes against their narcissistic and myopic views of themselves and talent.

I think a way to highlight all that is wrong with this show, is to compare it to WEDNESDAY. Both series have a lot in common, including the problems, with a female lead who thinks of themselves as an investigator - and isn't particularly good at it. Yet Wednesday is very much liked and is widely successful. IMO it seems to be down to the fact that the main protagonist isn't utterly insufferable, the supporting characters are likable, the story does keep moving, and despite many issues, the story mostly works in an understandable way.

I’m glad you gave The Big Bang Theory shit…I can’t stand it! There’s literally 4 or 5 jokes that just get recycled in one iteration or another throughout the whole show!

[@thecoolersub]

Oh thank god we got more Velma. I was worried that you may run out of content but you’re good. Stay safe out my dude.

[@dedf15]

Please don't hurt yourself, Dis! Its not worth it, even for the hate views! Edit: even The Rings of Power got people to watch it; because they loved the source material. Or at least they loved that type of fantasy world. Even as bad as it got, they were still "entertaining".

[@timfool]

The Three Stooges are slapstick comedy. I don't even know what the hell "hard funny" means.

[@crystallkingh3048]

There is an argument to be made that they should make the 2nd season even worse, and that would make it better. We might not laugh with the show, but at least we can laugh *at* it. Keep 'em coming WB :)

I thought this would just be a Velma hate video not a lesson in tv broadcasting psychology

[@FlummoxedFish]

'Hard comedy' is a term I haven't heard before. Sounds a lot like good old 'Slapstick comedy' though. Which was a thing. Separate to classic cartoon violence, but related to it. And if there's one thing Velma proves, it's that the writers are masters of taking classic things and making them new again. I'm sure they'll do great with slapstick. I look forward to more pictures of Velma missing teeth.

I honestly think they just have to announce a Season 2 now or people will just tune out. We've all seen a show we love get Netflixed at this point.

[@CalingsteRaynolds987]

The fact that Velma gets renewed for a 2nd season instead of HBO investing in better products for the company proves how brain dead this networks is.

[@Alteori]

Gosh darn. I feel called out with the big bang theory 😅 My husband told me he could prove to me that it wasn't funny and told me to watch it again without the laugh track... ... Oh God lol. I hate myself.

[@kopykat6843]

Hahaha hey atleast now you know

[@tkps]

As a non American, I don't know whether it's a culture thing or I just couldn't see the humour in it. I gave that a fair shake compared to others & nope. Same with the US Office and a few others. All the shows mentioned in the articles Disparu read from claiming to be comedic, popular whatever, I either haven't heard of because they didn't even reach us or I tried & couldn't get into them. I never did get the US sense of humour. Not that I ever saw Velma as a comedy.

[@bruciusmaximus8096]

Hell ya, I hope they spare no expense with this season, and hopefully get a season 3-4. the sooner these companies run out of money the better off everyone will be.

[@NarcissistAU]

So WB gets that people want some laughter and escapism, thinks that slapstick is the answer, but implements the cynicism and politics that people are trying to escape from? Am I having a stroke? You want less X, but I think you need Y, so here's more X! Profit!

[@marinribaric9749]

They just purchesed 20 episodes and released th first 10 as the first season

[@stevenjohnson2886]

Thought I heard they cut the season in half early on. Makes sense, buy full show then cautious release/split seasons.

Yes, tells us more about these projects Mindy works on so I know to avoid them like the plague from the get go

[@marcosevaristo6119]

it seems like they got the Scooby-doo IP only to ship on it's popularity, because there is absolutely nothing in this series that even resembles the original cartoon. If this was made using 100% original cast, there would be no difference. So it's just another proof of lack of criativity

[@penguinsmovies]

Well I guess Mindy Velma can't complain in her second season because she got everything she complained about in the first season. she was given a second season for doing a show that absolutely no one wanted and no one watched and no one thought was funny. If those aren't reparations for whatever perceived slights she feels like life has given her despite the fact she's always been successful I don't know what it is.

[@Tyler11821]

They probably internally allocated money for the second season considerably earlier than they publicly announced it, likely in production of season 1. It makes more sense to announce it between seasons as it'll make more of an impact that way. I'm sure it's probably been in production for months now.

[@ploppill34]

I hope they spend $250 million to have Mindy Kaling make a movie adaptation😂😂😂😂😂😂

It'll make Morbius look like Citizen Kane.

What? Seriously, what?! Velma, bright? People who make you feel good? A "sense of community"?! The only sense of community Velma brought is how much everyone despises this pile of hateful garbage!

[@furionmax7824]

As a wise commenter once said. This show is the reason why the Anime and Manga industries are booming. More are turning to anime and manga rather than comics and movies. There is no woke agenda with anime and manga. Bc unlike movies and TV shows. They're from one person. A singular artist or author which is then published by manga company such as JUMP and then a studio comes along and asks to make it an anime. But in the end it all rebounds on the author. And these guys have over thirty years of their lives invested in one series. He'll Arakis one of the oldest mangakas authors bc he started JoJo back in 1987. And it has stayed Agenda Free for over 35 years. If you love your work. Don't let it be tainted. Tell a good story and people will love the hell out of it. Do it with hate and you'll get hate in return.

My only problem with Velma is that at the end of the season, she didn't really learn anything. She said she did learn lessons during the show, but she never really showed it. She's obviously still incredibly selfish and oblivious.

I love how NYT called her ethnicity “south Asian.” I feel like the way people describe ethnicities is just going to get more and more vague until people start calling everybody “somewhere east of the US”

They DESPERATELY want to say she's 'non-white' but whites are getting a little to uppity about their genosid3 so we can't do that just yet.

[@nobodyshome6792]

Cynical shows and movies have been very successful throughout all of TV and Movie history. The issue isn't being cynical. It is the sourness and near hate that is the real issue at play here. Velma herself has always been a cynical character. Using wit and logic. Now she is not cynical, instead she is malicious and spiteful. I'll take logical cynicism over malicious spite every single time. As will most other people in the world. It also doesn't help that shows like Velma are made for a very, very small group of people. Less than 10% of the potential audience.

[@blueshellhater1845]

To be fair, I checked on Disparus Velma rants every week and they did make me laugh at the end of a long day. The guy from the article is so wrong he is right
