​@osets2117 It's both, because Velma is clearly a show that resents being forced to be a Scooby-Doo property to obtain anything resembling relevance. I doubt they'd want to include the titular Scooby as a character to detract more from the half-assed "mystery" they actually wanted to do from the beginning. Then again, the writers clearly do things purely to spite and anger their audience, so they might have included Scoob just to do something particularly horrendous to him as payback. Warner made the right call banning him from being in.

“Clear financial success” The “records” it broke had several caveats it was comical, it also doesn’t mean to much when half of those caveats are because the streaming service is relatively new and this is one of the first shows made for it. The records at most would apply to the first episode, I saw people, reviewers even, say it was so vile and awful they couldn’t get passed the first episode.

The thing is, every time they make mention that "Velma is the top trending ORIGINAL ANIMATED (intentional emphasis) series", it can't NOT be. There was no competition. When it first came out, the last Original Animated Series to come from Max was Santa Inc. (Ugh), and that was over a year prior. This time around, there's, once again, no competition on Max. Nothing with a name behind out. The last series, that had any clout, was 'Fiona and Cake', aside from that, there were a few other series in 2023 (released after Velma, mind you) that pretty much flew under the radar, and none of which are even slated for renewal. So, considering the IP, even being a horrible show, people will watch. Whether it's hate watching, curiosity watching, or, for some reason, non-ironic enjoyment of the series. But I don't think it's actually as many as the "Top Original Animated series" announcement is portraying it as.

Unfortunately that's still doesn't change the numbers for the people who would see them. I think it's similar to those shitty mobile game ads that are hard to close.

Usually due to the fact that you can't close the damm think, but the companies that make those ads (which btw isn't the same one's that make games. There is a reason why they all look nearly identical) could give bosses big numbers and show the "success" of the ads.

There is nothing but contempt in this show. There is no comedy, just complaining. Plus, the characters are all terrible people. It took characters we love and took away all the qualities that make them to characters that we knew.

[@DigimontamerB]

Hate watching did not help this show at all. It had a good *first* episode launch. I don't understand what the point of pretending this thing is successful is. Even if a 3rd season is made, it still doesn’t prove the ratings picked up, because we know studios will renew shows just to save face even as they fail and fail and fail. Don't believe me? Star Trek Beyond got 5 seasons. Where's the merch?

When the Internet needs him most to destroy Velma he has returned to strike it down

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

Velma is still a Disgrace to Scooby Doo

[@Theokal3]

I'll be frank I think you worry too much. Sure that brought the buzz back but I still see considerably less Velma videos than last time. Heck I didn't even notice Velma season 2 had come out. I am pretty sure it's not getting a third season.

[@BoltFinnikenOfficial]

Absolutely adoring the new design! HAXAD did an amazing job!

[@Spyko-]

the Velma problem is that people give it attention, like with this video for exemple or this comment boosting the video in the algorithm ironically. the best we could've done with this show is ignore it, but we didn't and that is, at least partially, responsible for it's "success"

[@SukiDreemurr]

Genuinely I‘m interested in a 3rd season. I just wanna see how much further downhill it can go.

I like that lil' jingle at the start for the Raycon sponsor. It reminds me of how old reuploaded AVGN videos start. And Toonshi got an artstyle update to their cartoon avatar! Neat.

[@bonedude666]

What kind of world are we living in where Scrappy-Doo is turned into a monster and we collectively say "He deserves better than this"? Mindy, ya done shat your pants.

[@reyfan011]

The fact that season 2 was a part 2 to season 1 instead of a new season makes sense. The show was so bad there’s no way it would warrant a season 2, unless it was already planned. I watched it wondering if it was as bad as I remember, and yes it was. But the artists did a wonderful job, but again the writing was the worst

[@sharkweekeveryweek4915]

Velma is a masterclass example of ragebait publicity.

When season 1 was announced season 2 and a Halloween special were announced… can’t wait for people to Blame hate watching for the Halloween special

[@dylanbuchanan6511]

“And I’m not a centrist either. This isn’t a muh both sides problem.” Yea it is.

[@mecha3307]

From what I've heard this was supposed to be the second half of season 1 but they divided it into a 2 seasons probably for them to save money in production costs if true this could probably explain the short down time between and the reason why season 2 was so quickly green lit all I know for sure is that the previously most hated character from Scooby Doo is probably everyone's favourite from this show soley because he killed Velma

[@pessimisticprofessorfarnsw3241]

To be fair the "record" was just for an Original, animated show on max.

[@monkeydkeithii2430]

For the Thorn argument, there’s a difference between making a character older and making them unappealing like they went out of their way to make her look like a drug addicted.

[@manfredicadelo9604]

honey wake up, a new video by weezer man came out edit: wrote this before watching the video I did not expect a pinkerton reference at 2:37

[@thetruth45678]

The artists and animators are complicit in manifesting this atrocious piece of shi... No quarter given to them. Everyonewho worked on this should be fired and blackballed from working in entertainment. Never Again.

[@xoxojustno6971]

This cartoon is just hate bait. They know we hate it, but people watch it out of morbid curiosity. I hate everything

[@hikikomori6005]

didn't the producers pay for one season and then just split it in half and say it's two separate ones?

[@Jonathan_Collins]

Ever since the first season of this... thing came out, I've had one question: how? How do you do an adult version of Scooby Doo b*dly? Shouldn't that be, like, the easiest thing to make interesting?

[@GarlicBreadFan245]

Hey, just asking why did you censor badly, for the jokes?

[@Hudson_HDJames]

Holy cow, your new character art is so different and nice! It’s definitely going to take some getting used to for me.

[@fromthecheapseats7126]

4:40 It CANNOT get drastically worse any more than you can divide by zero.

[@IcyDiamond]

Your new avatar looks great!

[@toon4thought]

The amount of rage attention this got was so goddamn tiring and disproportionate to just how just 'mid to generic bad' much of the show actually was. And honestly, considering the depressing current state of the animation industry, I can't even stay upset at any show where the artists were able to really flex themselves creatively and had nothing but positive things to say about the work environment. Can we please just uplift "Scavengers Reign" or something?

[@RegularFlyGuy]

Who knew that some disliked actress’ fan fiction would create so much drama! She literally rewrote Riverdale but worse (didnt know that was possible).

"What if we made a show that appeals to nobody" is a hell of a pitch

Why do good TV Shows get cancelled but this sh*t gets more seasons

[@chaoticneutral7976]

I appreciate you calling out all the whiny babies who harassed the animators and wished they would lose their jobs over working on a show they didn't like.

[@Yipper64]

7:42 well I respect that you acknowledge that isnt a centrist position to have.

[@Birdyboys]

So glad you called out this behavior. I saw fans blowing a fuse over one of the hex girls looking “uglier” as if it wasn’t obvious that she’s just older.

[@osets2117]

Older? More like ancient 😆

[@blitz0590]

Older? Looks like a meth addict. Give her a more modest look and you can probably save the design a bit but as it stands, shit design.

[@Birdyboys]

@@osets2117do y’all expect women in their 50s/60s to look like Instagram models or something

[@osets2117]

@@Birdyboys 50/60s you really think she's that old with a teenage daughter? Really? 🤨 This show was clearly made with spite and vitriol, considering what they've done to the other characters you really think this wasn't done on purpose?

@@osets2117no offense but if you think a woman looking older was done out of spite that’s more of a You issue than a Show issue
