He was a young man trying to find his way while being steered all over the place by people like Elijah Mohammed. The mouthiness may have been a smart way to generate revenue, but there's a good bit of that geared towards Ali trying to prove himself and make an identity away from "who he was." Compare that to Frazier and Foreman (young for the insecurity, old for the wise man he became). Anybody who goes around calling an old friend "gorilla" (among many other things) to push self-promotion has a bit going on.

@@lqlaliut897 It can be an example of the sunk cost fallacy but not always.

[@highwindknight]

Personally, I think it's Parrot Analytics and not the hate watchers that's to blame. That said, I don't buy in the narrative that the hate watching gave it enough views to get a second season. A second season was already confirmed very early on. Likely it was already in mid-production and they already pumped so much money into the marketing of it that they determined this one show was apparently too far in to drop for whatever amount of sunk cost fallacy they had in it. Pair that with Parrot Analytics giving a generalized idea of "demand" to use as a metric of potential growth avenue and there's enough ammunition for whoever is leading the Velma project to give enough bullshit to the studio to keep Velma alive, even if it's viewing numbers are going down. Plus, wasn't the statement that it was the Most Watched Animated Show? As in, Animated, not amongst all shows? And wasn't it basically the only animated show still left alive and running at that time, making that statement a complete nothingburger. Like saying that Gollum is the best Lord of the Ring videogame released in 2023. That sure is true. Because it is the only Lord of the Ring Videogame released in 2023.

Back when Captain Marvel came out, they were more concerned about their stock prices and general confidence in the MCU suddenly dropping. Well, it's way too late to get in front of that problem now, even if they still had the kind of extra money lying around to buy a significant number of their own tickets with. The only reason they're making the sequel at all is to maintain the pretense that the first one made a billion dollars all on its own and "Why _wouldn't_ you make a sequel to a billion-dollar movie?" But they know it's not. They know it cost them so much more to prop that movie up into "the billion-dollar club" that it probably didn't quite break even in reality. I'm sure it made the majority of its money, legitimately (because of its placement between the 2 Avengers movies). I can't see them shelling out half a billion dollars for the sake of some fleeting good press and stockholder confidence. But they added at least 100 million, and probably at most like 300 million, to the tally. What an odd situation to be in. They're already losing massive amounts of money, but they have to throw more of it down the hole just to try and hide the shady shit they were doing a few years back when they were flush. I love it.

DOGGO returns !!!

[@rwberger6]

I think it clearly had a garunteed S2 baked into its original contract.

[@masonm600]

Hear me out, what if... they already mostly had season 2, and now they see a tax write-off.

[@Attmay]

We should all be so lucky.

[@michaellee8815]

Hahahaha we had a greyhound for 12 years, rescued from a track. I forgot they laid down like that!! 🤣🤣 thanks for the memory lane chuckle

[@thekinginthenorth5978]

It got renewed? FUCK!

[@OuhPii]

"most watched animated show on this streaming platform" Wasn't that the *ONLY* animated show you're able to watch there?!

[@derrickcrawford1081]

As I said before regarding this topic when season 1 was out If I had to make a solid guess the studio had already paid for 2 seasons of the show before the 1st one had even aired Trust me I've seen this happen before many times even with shows u actually like

[@newtpondskipper]

Nothing in the movies you've read off sounds like a movie I want to see. What a time to be alive.

[@Erasureeraser]

For all of you asking why, it's a show that did exactly what the creators wanted it to do. Get people talking about it, watch it and people did. Whether or not it was hate-watched, it was watched. Poorly recieved and hated as it was from both critics and audiences, a lot of people still tuned it. It's that simple

[@O1OO1O1]

I keep telling people to stop watching this s*** and stop reviewing it. But they keep doing it. Idiots. It's like trying to fund someone by throwing money at them. "Stop it! Take that!'

[@MrJeffProbst]

yep, many youtubers will again "watch the show for you", talk about it in detail and share it with thousands in total. huge sucess, i guess ^^

[@FatherAndrew-Scarlet-Priest]

EXACTLY, this is why I keep telling people to NOT hate watch dog shit like velma.

[@dustinherk8124]

@@MrJeffProbst no, this time around, i think it will be hit with a massive boycott instead. its actually beginning to prove effective with this crap for Bud, Target, Disney, now Reddit (for other reasons), Activision/Call of duty etc. and then there is all the push back from both parents and kids, regarding this PC agenda, in schools. Judging by the response and rapid drop off in viewership for the Clone high reboot, which is littered with the same garbage that Velma was, i think HBO or Max or what ever its called now, will learn a very expensive lesson.

[@fr0ck360]

So it’s basically click baiting of streaming platform

[@meatpuppet5036]

Wasn't the renewal known from the start? Like they had an automatic renewal for at least one more as part of the deal.

[@peartreeproductions1993]

The news I didn't know I needed today. ❤

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Your dog has the right critical attitude: show your opinion, but don’t let it raise your blood pressure.

[@doberski6855]

Velma season 2 is coming. No Mauler, more like full steaming pile ahead! Great to see the Critical Doggo again, clearly very busy so great that was able to show up for Open Bar!

[@iissamiam]

I think MCU will transition into character actors. Nathan Fillion is the tone of actor who should be in the MCU. Actor’s who have a range that reaches well into both comedy and drama, but who can seamlessly portray both ends in one character. Because marvel properties generally swing between serious, life or death level drama, and cartoon antics. I’m also one of the people who loves the idea of Danial Radcliffe as wolverine.

[@kevinoneil5120]

Season 2 *could* be good... just like it's theoretically possible for your clothes to come out of the dryer perfectly folded 😂

[@Attmay]

That actually happened to another show starring a woman named Mindy: *the Facts of Life.* Season one almost prevented the subsequent eight. After they cut the cast in half, added some new characters to create a more interesting dramatic conflict, and actually put women on the writing staff, it became one of the few sitcoms it on NBC anybody actually watched in the early 1980s, and it was the oldest them-currently running network sitcom by the time it went off the air. I still remember where I was when I heard the news.

[@thelicensednerd1626]

Lol I was wondering why the third person didn't say anything the whole video😂

[@Dwellerinshadow]

Oh wow, I truly cannot wait to watch more of this absolutely amazing show! ... /s

[@Attmay]

Take the sarcasm tag off. You were right without it. It’s amazing that they were made able to make anything good out of such a dreadful IP.

[@aleksmeetsworld6873]

I love that critical doggo sleeps like a drunk 20 year old

[@CaulkMongler]

I’m glad a second season is coming out - I need more tangible reasons to fuel my drinking problems!

[@Attmay]

Perhaps what you need is a good strong psychedelic.

[@thor3279]

OMG I thought Doggo was a captured image, but he's actually live in that pose. Fantastic!

[@gamingpizza2204]

And yet Firefly got cancelled, this is the DARKEST timeline

[@artvandelay8767]

The critical doggo lol

[@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns]

Mindy Kaling thinks she's Velma, but she's really *Toot* from _Drawn Together._

[@mart-juhaneiskop3133]

cannot wait for the reviews of season 2.

[@rexlumontad5644]

Even Critical Doggo is disgusted at how Scooby Doo franchise is tarnished by the existence of Mindy Kaling's Self Insert.

[@Attmay]

Of course, a dog would be partial to another dog.

[@zeeegeee]

You guys remember when Firefly got one season?
