Velma INSANE Finale Rants DESTROY Scooby Doo! Episode 10 Review

[@disparutoo]

Velma episode 10 finale review! This episode has everything, and when we're talking about Velma that's not a good thing. As a finale it definitely doubles down on prior themes and combines them into a cohesive ending, but when everything before was Velma it leads to a horrific conclusion. The ultimate showdown with the killer is Velma ranting at Fred about how everything is his fault, before Velma disgusts Norville over a corpse. All in all, although I predicted(ish) the reveal of this episode, I could NEVER have predicted them doing this ending. But what did you think? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

The mom's main issues is ultimately her own fault. She resented Fred for not being worth, but she raised him. When we see him being privileged, he's calling for his mom to do things for him. We only ever see his dad telling him to do better. She raised him to be helpless then hated him for it. What an idiot. Kinda funny that both Fred and Shaggy were indirectly shown to be hyper capable at points. Fred was able to overpower his dad and is a good marksman and Shaggy deflects a bullet with a sword. Imagine what both could achieve if they didn't have toxic women dragging them down. Gonna laugh when Velma and her deadbeat mom lose the house because the dad actually works and pays for everything.

[@alzaelnext638]

That's pretty accurate to how things happen in real life at least. Women complain about men, but they raise them.

In reality, it's just them showing their delusional view of the world.

Velma really is the worst form of self-insert I've ever witnessed.

It also severely suffers from one of the worst traits writers have and that's the "ironic lie." In this case, it's essentially how everyone praises and loves Velma despite all her actions making her an insufferable cow. And yet, when Fred or name a "type A" character does the same thing, they're wildly incompetent.

Usually in murder mysteries, there's either one main suspect, or everyone's a suspect. But the fact that Velma picks and chooses who she accuses based on how much she likes them makes her even more unlikable.

Uncovering the truth behind mysteries and hauntings, with no real violence in an ultimately family friendly setting. What the fuck is this? How utterly abhorrent and completely shameful, and a true smack in the face of the original concept of the show. Twerking over a corpse... I mean firstly, having actual blood and death in a Scooby related show is awful. Secondly, how nonchalantly the subject of extremely violent death is addressed, like the characters are not phased by it at all and have a complete disregard for human life. This is utterly psychotic and absolutely vile. I'm not even a big Scooby Doo fan but I did enjoy the old show. Whatever this abomination is, it should never have happened and is completely and utterly disrespectful to any source material and the original magic it had. There was no need to make this - it is not funny, it is not good storytelling - all this is is a shock cash-grab by people desperately out of any original ideas of their own.

So the whole point of those murders was to give Fred a new brain. Let's make a bullet point of everything that doesn't make sense with this plan. - If the point is to make Fred smarter why still the brains of teenage girls? The girls aren't some kind of geniuses, they're hot and by extension presumably dumb according to the show. Why not still the brain of some CEO? They clearly have connections with people like that. Is the joke supposed to be that anyone would be smarter than Fred? - If she has the ability to hypnotize people why doesn't she hypnotize Fred into being a perfect CEO? - If Fred's parents are so adamant about him inheriting the company and being a manly man why did they start just now? Shouldn't they have been preparing him since he was born? You know, making him go to a special school with extra classes, hiring private teachers, making him do extra activities like all kinds of sports, etc. Stereotypical rich kid stuff. Fred is very obedient and wants to do everything to please his parents. He can at least try. According to the show he totally changed after reading just one book on feminism. Make him read something useful! - Fred's mom better not pull this feminist bullshit. She killed innocent girls because she didn't raise her son properly. I bet the writers were patting themselves on the back. ''Everybody expects that the killer will be a white straight male but it is actually a white straight lady. Aren't we so subversive?'' - If people retain their memory even in a different body, how else would Fred be smarter, and that's what Fred's mom's comment to Velma alludes to, what's stopping whoever will be in Fred's body from telling the truth? The possibilities of rich white male privilege? - Why kill all these girls? Shouldn't she immediately make a switch as soon as she got the first brain? Or was she not satisfied with the brains she got and went on hunting until she finds the one she likes? In that case, she should've gotten to know the people before she murdered them for nothing and potentially incriminated herself. Held some competition or a test and attack the winner or something.

[@bliczb8772]

You know, the whole bit of Velmas mom realizing she got hypnotized because she realizes she repeats lines not only made me roll my eyes, but it also made me appreciate the God of War 2018 even more. In God of War, Kratos and Atreus are forced to cut Mimirs head, and later resurrect him with the help of Freya. However, as a bit later on Atreus and Kratos try to use Mimirs intelligence to their advantage (after all, Mimir is smartest man alive... At least according to him. Subject of few jokes from Kratos, surprisingly). As they ask him if there's a way to hurt Baldur, Mimir says that "Baldur is invoulnerable to all threats, physical or magical". As Atreus is quite saddened by that information, and throws an off-hand comment about Baldur that I can't quite remember (I think it was something along the lines of "Imagine if there was a way"), which causes Mimir to re-cite the line directly, something that Atreus (who, by that point, was 11 years old) picks up on it, and points it out to Mimir, who is actually doesn't realize he did repeat himself, something that Atreus once again finds strange, but Mimir tries to rationalize it by saying that his brain is still "resurrecting" so to speak, and he needs time. For comaprison, Velma seems to be completely oblivious to her mother constantly repeating the same line, and doesn't really bat an eye to it. It has to be her mother that needs to point it out to her, because she's too thick for her brain to register it. And not only is Velma older than Atreus, she's supposed to be a smart one. Later on in God of War, when it is revealed that Freya is Baldurs mom, Atreus expresses how that information is shocking, to which Mimir agrees with him, but as he starts going on, he deviates a bit, saying that he should've known that. But as soon as he says that, he kind of goes silent for a second (I guess you can say he was rebooting). As Atreus snaps him out of it, he continues, and Mimir once again repeats himself, something that Atreus once again remarks on. As that happens, Kratos finally realizes what's on the manner, and to demonstrate it, he asks Mimir about Baldurs weakness, to which Mimir, once again, repeats himself line by line. Atreus is confused, and Kratos explains to him that Mimir was likely enchanted by Freya in order to prevent him from saying something that Freya wouldn't want him to say. And Mimir starts wondering if she did it when she resurrected him, or when he first figured out Baldurs weakness. Atreus is excited, but as he wants Mimir to elaborate, he once again reboots, much to Atreus anger, but Kratos is quite satisfied - he now knows there's a way to hurt Baldur, he just doesn't know what it is. In God of War, Kratos and Atreus figuring out that Mimir got enchanted was sound - they concluded it as information was revealed to them. In Velma, they conclude it arbitrarily... For no reason.

That ending was perfect Mindy took a child's cartoon inserted herself in as the main character and then proceeded to spend 10 episodes going on a rant about how she hates everyone regardless of the color of their skin their race or their sex or status. Despite the fact in real life Mindy is worth millions of dollars has gone to an ivy League College had a successful career in the film industry when less than 99% succeed in real life on this career path. Ending it with Velma throwing her own parents out of their own house was like a firecracker on the top of the cake. Showing us that she doesn't only hate everybody in the entire world and blame them for all the lack any struggle in life she's had but she also hates the parents that put her in this world and gave her everything. What a inspirational human being we're giving TV shows too. I can't wait for season 2 where she blames mother nature and things she can't control for getting in the way of her perfect life.

Because of his parents. She wanted a girls brain inside Fred and her initial targets were "hot girls", who were insulted for their intelligence by the show. So she couldn't target someone from the debate club or any smart girls? I mean, her final idea was to use Velma's brain for Fred, eventhough Daphne was right there.

Fred's mom being the killer makes absolutely no sense.

Another thing that just occurred to me on a second viewing (of this review, not of the show because fuck that). Velma's mom tells Velma herself that she must have been hypnotized to repeat the same lines over and over again whenever asked certain question...which means the mother is fully aware of the fact that she is hypnotized. So why is she only saying this now in the prison? Why not just say that she was hypnotized to say it the first time she was made to say it?
