Velma: A Year Later - Reflecting On The Past

Jinkies! A whole review of Velma! That's spooky, man! Is it as bad as I stated a year ago? Let's find out, Gang!
The last episode of HBO's Velma episode 10 came out February 9, 2023.
Now that it has been out for exactly one year, I think it will be fun to look back on it to see if Mindy Kaling's Velma really was the worst show ever made.

I think the phenomenon of these inconsistent scenes is more that the writers didn't check what their teammates wrote instead of themselves forgetting what they just wrote. It's still bad and lazy, so feel free to mock it, but your conglomerating of the writers makes them out to be a bit more incompetent than they probably are, I mean they had to prove that they know how to write something to be hired... right?

The funniest, and unintentional, part of the hypnosis plot mechanic is that hypnosis isn't simply mind control; it plays off suggestions and the person's willingness to go along with it. That's why you can't hypnotize people to do anything they wouldn't be somewhat down for. That being said, this (unbeknownst to the writers) means that Velma's mom has some willingness to perform the experiments at the cost of children's lives, AND that part of Velma didn't want her to find her mom. On the plus side, if the nightmares Velma's mind makes to distract her conscious efforts cause a heart attack every time, she has extremely terminal heart disease.

@@Redhead-pf8leIt's even less mystical and "special" than that. All the big hypnotism acts are done in front of a big audience. When you get called up, the stage for the guy everyone cheering for to "mesmerize you" or whatever, you have two options: you either play along and let everyone have fun, or you go "Nope" and ruin the illusion to everyone. We are social animals, and there have been brain studies that show that the uncomfortable sensation of going against peer pressure triggers the same part of the brain as the one responsible for the pain responses, so unless you are really obstinate, socially awkward, or downright have a spectrum disorder, you'll probably play along. Honestly, hypnotist shows often remind me of an experience I had in high school. When I started, hazing the new students was still used as a practice to justify petty bullying, so the staff decided to do try something new: not long after the beginning of the school year, we all went to the local community center, and the higher grades put together a bunch of silly and humiliating "challenges" for the new students, in the name of hazing, except you had to do it on stage, in public. A lot of them were fairly simple stuff, like inflating a car tractor inline tube by mouth, or do jumping jacks on stage, while others were pretty wild, like asking two guys to play out being newlyweds in front of everyone. Yet, because of peer pressure, everyone went along with it, and when I later watched one of these big Vegas hypnotist shows on the TV, I just couldn't help but notice the similarities.

Daphne doesn't even have to really have a mask for that to work.

Afrodite said if she won she would make the most beautiful women in the world fall in love with Paris (Helen of sparta, king Menelaos's wife).

I think the worst part about this show is that one of the few adult animated series in recent years with an actual animation budget gets released and every other aspect of it is so half baked and sloppy, especially considering how much HBO Max content has been cancelled or torn off the service. I can see the makings of a good show buried in here, but its buried under so many flaws. But it was surprisingly successful, so hopefully it can pave the way for better adult animation getting the greenlight.

[@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs]

I hate it too. It had the budget and talent for the animation, but holy shit did the writing team need to be replaced. Just goes to show, you can have the best visuals, but if your story has shit writing you are up the river without a paddle. Same for games. Lots of beautiful games that are high resolution photorealistic graphics, but are unplayable because nothing else makes any sense. And yet, there are lots of games with simple graphics that put time and work into gameplay and story, and they are amazing.

I also remember being told to get away as fast as possible by any means & try to find someone else for aid. NOT to lay down & play dead, because your attacker might not be looking to kill you. Also, not very many animals play dead as self defense, many will try to run or fight off a predator first.

How painful was it to sit through Velma once again to make this review? Also, you better be paying your editor up the rear end for editing footage for this show. Lol. In all seriousness, the show sucks, great review, and thank you so much for reading my quote from Rob Zombie. I can't think of better birthday present.

[@JUSTAROBOT_AKA_JAR]

it was super painful but not as bad as some of the Star Wars shows I've review. I did pay them and I added to the editing of ever eipisode but the first 2. Anyways thanks for the 5USD. It will help me out.

There is a saying that goes about the 3 truths. "His truth, her truth, and THE truth." It's meant to show that even Honest people can get facts wrong due to speaking from their perspective. And when investigating It's your job to find out what THE truth is because it's the only one that matters.

I still don’t understand why they had to change Norville‘s backstory. That totally could’ve been something interesting. A black teen whose family is wealthy from the plantation era? That gives so much to work with. But no they also had to make him an unlikable loser who is the butt of a joke and Velma thinks very poorly of.

As a guy who used to watched Scooby Doo back when I was much younger, seeing Velma, the show, just fills me with so much hate. Which is sad because I do like Velma a lot, especially when she gets very quippy or deadpan snarkish. But this show just makes her such a jerk that I feel like edgy fanfiction could write a better Velma.

[@MasticinaAkicta]
