Velma Gets WORSE with NEW Targets Episode 8 Review

Velma episode 8 review where Velma has decided to attack everyone rather than just one group like in episode 7. Velma is a Scooby Doo adaptation for HBO Max based on the classic Scooby Doo cartoon, but that's where the resemblance ends. In fact this episode has several Scooby Doo references that if anything, show nothing but disdain for the original show. Is Velma worth watching?

Velma Episode 8 review, you have no idea how disappointed I was when I got to the end of this and found out there is 2 more! I was sure this was the finale 🤣Well this week we continue humiliating Fred, Norville has a remarkably strange comment about his mum and we get more chances at Velma popping her clogs that all unfortunately fail. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

The funny thing about Mindy complaining about privileged white people is that Mindy is the daughter of an architect and a doctor, she spent her whole life going to rich private schools, went to one of the most exclusive colleges in the world to get an arts degree, and got a job on The Office almost out of college which made her career. So she's pretty much the living definition of privilege.

Ok, let me put my tin foil hat on, 'coz I have 3 theories: 1) Velma's mom is the killer. She left the family because she saw how hopeless her daughter was. So she took off to find a therapist that would fix her daughter's repulsive personality. She searched far and wide but didn't find anyone that would be able to help. That is why she started killing off all the hot girls. The mom figured that if she killed all the girls prittier than Velma (so all the girls basically), at least one man would be desperate enough and start dating Velma. So Velma wouldn't die alone. 2) Daphne's necklace at the festival looks exactly like the green gem that you can see above Sims. This is (not so) subtle hint that Daphne is under Velma's control and manipulated by her. 3) Remember Galadriel saying to Elrond (TWICE) the infamous line "You have not seen what I have seen"? I bet she meant watching Velma. Maybe we judged Galadriel too quickly for saying that stupid line.

I'm gonna write a plot off the top of my head using this show as a reference. They're in college. There's this teacher that has a "Mystery Club," which is a club for people interested in crime and spooky mysteries and stuff to discuss/deep dive into it. Daphne is taking it because she wants to be an investigator in the future. Shaggy needs it to pass a class taught by the teacher, Fred, the popular guy has a passion for mysteries, and Velma is taking it for similar reasons but also for extra credit. So some people around town are going missing, and the old urban legend of the fog cove is circling around. Supposedly, there was a cult back in the day that sacrificed people to curse the town with fog. And the people are all superstitious about it. Think small town mindset. So the Mystery Club takes it upon themselves to go check out the validity of these rumors. Daphne is also in Mystery club because she wants to get better at looking people up. She's searching for her birth parents and scouring the internet. Fred is the heir to a multi million dollar franchise, but honestly? He's a down to earth kind of guy. He fought his parents to go to this college over some snooty one that his parents wanted. Reasoning unknown. This is a huge secret though. Fred is tired of people only seeing his wealth when they talk to him. He wants real friends who share his passions. He's the one to buy a nice van for the Mystery club to drive around in, hence why he is always the driver. Shaggy has some things going on in his personal life. He lives in a one bedroom small apartment that he's renting with Fred and his dog. Fred has never had a dog before and loves them. They bond over their shared interest for mysteries and something else. Maybe a sport? Maybe a hobby? Idk. Velma lives at home with her parents, and Daphne lives in the college campus. Fred doesn't live in the college campus because he felt cramped there. So there's a few minor mysteries that happen. Clues are left. And over time everyone's secrets come out. The gang helps Daphne track her parents down, they help promote Shaggy's music hobby. And Fred learns what friendship is. His parents love him, but they're so removed from real life that it comes off as snobby. So through a series of events. The trail leads them to this infamous "fog cave". It's one of the town's biggest mysteries. The gang discovers that everyone kidnapped had a connection to a certain shop. And the old owner used to own this mining company that was exploring the cove for some rare rock or something. But due to public outcry over how dangerous the caves were, the company went bankrupt and the mine was closed. Scorned, the man has been plotting for years to get back at the town for making him lose his fortune. Son he begins to kidnap people and hold them in the cave for ransom. The police don't know who did it, because the old man has a solid alibi. The Mystery gang is led to belive the story above. But actually, it was the competition all along. The man was bitter, yes but he's just a prickly individual taking up some valuable piece of land that his competiton wants. So they framed him. The Mystery gang uncovers this, and the police are called. End with the ever so classic: "you meddling kids!" And the group goes out to celebrate with dinner. End credits with them graduating and leaving town in this van that says "Mystery Club" on the side (since Mystery machine is not allowed). Arguably better but scuffed plot from the top of my head. These writers are lazy and should have never been hired. Insert some romance drama and some adult comedy and there you go. It's not difficult to come up with literally ANYTHING better than whatever this was

The whole sexualizing high schoolers thing is creepy, predatory, and honestly I feel bad for Mindy if that's what she thinks is normal.

Why was Velma guessing words when it was locked with a pin? Not wonder she couldn't figure out the password. For a show about a wannabe detective you'd think they'd want their main character seem semi intelligent.

[@chriscollins2095]

I assumed in the first episode that the killer would be Fred's dad because he was a rich white guy, and his motivation would be: because he can get away with it. Because that's the most obvious ending I can think of--having Velma be right all along.

[@MickfromAU]

Thats the obvious answer. Potential option number 2 is that there are two killers called William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. If you are going to destroy the show may as well take down the original creators.

@Random black guy from Chicago Because this show took the, Solo a Star Wars Story, route of writing thinking they needed to give origin stories to Daphne's Red hair (which was only needed because they made her Asian), the Mystery Machine, why Velma says Jinkies, and presumably why Scooby-Doo can talk, because as everyone has been speculating the whole stupid brain removal plot will probably lead to them putting a human brain in a dogs body.

@@matane2465 Yeah, the whole thing is pointless. If they wanted to make an adult Scooby Doo, they should've made a horror comedy with a similar energy to Zombieland. The show just being a combination of bad meta humor and performative wokeness is disappointing. Makes for funny reviews though.

"and presumably why Scooby-Doo can talk, because as everyone has been speculating the whole stupid brain removal plot will probably lead to them putting a human brain in a dogs body" This is the first that I've heard this idea, but ****...

[@boobah5643]

Nothing else is connected, either. Which is one reason the 'killer' isn't Velma's mother.

[@rarestpepe98]

Velma has really opened my eyes to a new genre, one where they make the lead role as annoyingly braindead as possible and put them in horrific scenarios, likely to kill them, only for them to stay alive and make another episode. I'm not saying it's a good genre, I'm just saying she's definitely paved a nice road for it.

[@nogoodreasonYT]

Now I’m actually curious whether a book written in that genre would be fun to read. Like, if the thrill of the protagonist potentially dying or at least getting his/her comeuppance would be enough to keep the reader going, or if the fact that the character exists would drive the reader to abandon the book entirely. I think it hinges on whether the other characters are sympathetic and have their own arcs and subplots to work through alongside the protagonist’s. Obviously the ‘writers’ of Velma didn’t want to go to all that trouble, so they just made every character insufferable, but I feel the premise of a non-sympathetic protagonist could support a decent story if it were handled properly.

[@atomicdancer]
