Velma Is Everything Wrong With Entertainment - Episode 1 Review

This Velma Review is from the new HBO Max series and episode 1. Far from being a modern-day Scooby Doo gang animation, it's entirely new. The names are the same, Scooby Doo doesn't exist, Shaggy is now Norville and every personality is utterly different. For a cartoon that defined a generation's childhood you have to ask, who is Velma for? Because to get Velma signed off on HBO Max someone had to watch this, and think it was good.

[@disparutoo]

Velma was NOT what I was expecting from a Scooby Doo series. How hard is it for HBO Max to just do a basic kids animation, or a more grown up version of the characters if they wanted to change the audience. Well Velma has entirely new people, with the same names (ish), new personalities and more stereotypes than you'd think it was possible in 25 minutes. But when I reached the end I still didn't understand what the plot was even meant to be. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll find out the horror of the entirety in episode 2, yay. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Which also means that there is no reason to ever be held accountable for being a horrible person. That horrid ideology is now if full bloom visible for all to see. In this case it makes itself manifest in all of these really terrible shows that portray villainous behavior as virtues to be celebrated.

Just so people know: Mindy Kaling (voice actor and director for Velma) admitted to sexually assaulting co-worker Lee Pace on the Conan Show. "He was just so handsome. I improved kissing him in the scene, which was NOT in the script. He asked me a question but I was not listening to him at all, cause who cares what he was saying, and I was just like 'mhm' and [kissed him]. He reacted like [reeling back] and I pretended it didn't happen. We have 2 writers/producers and they were like 'Hey man, what are you doing?! You could get sued for that!' and I got scared and I said 'Tell anyone and you're fired'. I just didn't need our side to confirm it. I'm the kissing bandit. It's fine, he didn't say anything, no one reported it." She has also stated that she's used tongue during kissing scenes (which is considered HIGHLY inappropriate and unprofessional in the movie industry) because she "gets into it" and on several interviews she's clarified that since she's their boss, people can't complain about her sexual misconducts cause she'll just fire them.

[@curosaber]

Is this true?

[@Mitsu92]

@@curosaber As much as I wish it wasn't, unfortunately it is true. You can find clips of the interviews here on KZbin, they're from Conan O'Brien's talkshow. The quotes I referred to specifically are from videos called "Mindy Kaling about her kiss with Lee Pace (Conan Show)" and "Mindy Kaling Has A Lot To Learn About Kissing Co-Stars | CONAN on TBS" if that helps. I believe the interviews happened about 5 years apart so the fact that she still mentions firing people if they report her behavior is concerning.

@@Mitsu92 Overly privileged, has committed some form of sexual harassment, threatened to fire anyone who mentions it and gets away with it? Sounds like Mindy fits the criteria of abusive boss. Unless she thinks it doesn't count because she's not Caucasian or a man.

[@Mitsu92]

@@curosaber Indeed. She's not far off from being a female Harvey Weinstein in her own right. She's also made claims about how men can't be rape victims and other terrible things. How she came to be in charge of anything is shocking considering that her only good work seem to be her role as Kelly from The Office. And even then, that turned out to be her actual personality, not her acting. Why they would put her in charge of producing Velma is beyond me. I'm just glad people are all rallying together and disapproving of this show.

[@curosaber]

She doesn't men can be victims of anything? That explains a lot. Well, a lot more of her. She's a lot sexist than I thought she was. As for why she was put in charge, it may have something to do with the fact that both of her very wealthy and successful parents used their connections to get her into showbiz in the first place. Straight out of Ivy League. So wealth and nepotism played a huge part in her career like Donald Trump. Now that I mention that, I'm starting to see a disturbing similarity between them.

If it was made out of love, there wouldn't be so many character assassinations. You only do that when you absolutely loath the original or want to self-insert your own biases and insecurities. I'm watching the original Scooby Doo just because I miss it that much. Even the live-action movies with Freddy Prinz Jr. and Mathew Lillard. Velma, who's played by the actress from Avengers(Clint Barton's wife) is a better Velma and plays a pretty, smart version of the character. Daphne's a black belt, Shaggy and Scooby are allowed to be funny, and Fred is the man with a plan. That's how you show respect for an original property. Hell, Dean and Sam Winchester stayed true to the cartoon when the brothers and Cass were sucked into the show. That was probably one of my favorite episodes of Supernatural

[@tonybippitykaye]

You know, why is it when writers make “adult” cartoons, they think the only way to make it is to add pervasive swearing, excessive and meaningless gore, and nonstop sexual references? Like you can make a cartoon more adult without resorting to cheap tactics! Samurai Jack’s last season and Primal did adult animation well with barely any dialogue, brutal and meaningful violence, and barely and sexual references. Invincible had some pretty visceral violence, but it also has a decent mystery and father-son story at its core. Heck, Mystery Incorporated, even if it was mainly for kids, had more adult and dark themes in it yet it was not only still watchable, but people consider it one of the better adaptations post What’s New. It’s not rocket science! This just feels like someone was given an IP they loathe and proceeded to make festering garbage in the form of comedy…

[@friscokid21]

I completely agree! Ok, this might be a little long-winded, but I've never heard anyone talk about Primal before, so hear me out.. lol. When I was around 8-10 years old, I was introduced to Lord of the Rings and a ton of comics/graphic novels by my cousins, who are just shy of a decade older than I am. I immediately took to the comics and the animated Hobbit movie, and as I grew up, they kept feeding me material to check out, like my first copy of The Fellowship of the Ring in 8th grade, eventually encouraging me to check out more things as I progressed like the Sillmarillion, The Matrix movies, Star Wars novels etc. For the longest time, I've felt like I owe them somehow for sharing art and literature with me and influencing me in such a positive way at such a young age. This past holiday season, i got to spend some rare quality time with my cousins, as we are all older, and some of them now have kids/family of their own, but we got to talking about the current state of entertainment like Marvel/DC, Rings Of Power, etc., which we are all just completely disgusted and fed up with the terrible writing, all the BS wokeness and indentity politics that seemingly every single major project is saturated with these days, but then... I had my chance.. to influence my elder cousins, who showed me such cool and awesome stuff as a kid, by introducing them to a show called Primal, directed by the guy who did Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack. I showed them the trailer and told them the show, within each 15-20 min episode, tells a such beautifully captivating, emotional roller coaster of a story that not only keeps you wanting to know what happens next but does so with brilliant simplicity in the way the get the viewer to connect and become invested in the storyline. Superb imagery and genius writing that, in my personal opinion, puts to shame most of the work we've seen out of Hollywood studios in recent years.. They were intrigued and said they would check it out when they had an opportunity. I got a call the other day from one of them, and the first words out of his mouth were, "Wow.. you were right!! that 1st season is incredible! I can't wait to start the 2nd!" Then we talked about it for like 15 mins before he had to help make dinner for his kid. It felt good to share something i thought was cool with the people who showed me so much cool stuff growing up and have them think its cool too.

This is the Velma review I’ve been waiting for ❤

[@Andrea_Gabrielli]

We can thank the show for one, and I mean only ONE thing: the “SHE HAS NO BRAIN” clip is immediately saved on a folder in Disparu’s flash drive right alongside the clip of She-Hulk walking into a glass door. The opportunities to use these little gems are just too good to pass up.

[@Calbeck]

My theory is that Velma is actually living in a padded cell after breaking mentally over driving her mother away and the entirety of the show is her brain trying NOT to come to grips with anything being her fault in any way for anything.

[@dutchdykefinger]

the second part sounds like the average woman lol

[@MikeB-ev4fh]

"When it comes to LA, once you know one belief, you know all of them" oh man that one hits

[@TheRealMichaelH]

2:17 - Unless you're under arrest, you _can_ just walk out of a police station. They'll try everything they can to trick or persuade you into staying, but unless you're under arrest, you should leave immediately. EDIT: And I assume Velma wasn't under arrest in that scene, because she did walk out later. Which makes the cops' behavior even more ridiculous. But it doesn't really matter because Mindy Kaling is the sort of person who believes that cops - even diverse lesbian cops - will draw their weapons at any time, for any reason.

[@dqverify6797]

Ha! I was just about to say this! Velma absolutely can just get up and walk out of that police station, and when Velma said, "We're done here," and the cop pulled a gun and forced her to stay, that cop seriously broke the law and violated Velma's Constitutional rights. Why Velma wouldn't tell her lawyer father about it is inexplicable, because that's a huge deal. Interrogations are videotaped. But as you said, yes, apparently Kaling etc. believe that the police just pull their weapons and violate everybody's rights all the time without any repercussions at all, because cops, amiright? SMH.

[@Atlas_FGC]

As someone who was a light stoner with stoner friends I swear Shaggy was just the stereotypical skinny guy who could eat anything and stay thin, who also happens to be kind of lazy and a coward to contrast with the rest of the group and to pair up with Scooby's character and not a stoner.

[@Dan_theSandwichman]

I'm a stoner, too, and Shaggy definitely is a good representation of how people can be while high. It's mostly a joke that I'm guessing (for some reason) you've taken personally. Don't be that person. That person is lame.

[@MajorSmurf]

Velma is a come... Nope couldn't finish that statement with a straight face. I think most great comedies have a good story to go with them. The Vicar of Dibley, Only Fools and Horses, Inbetweeners, Allo Allo, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python films and more. All of these are shows/films make you laugh and feel happy when the characters get a cool story arc or that one joke that's been building finally lands. In Velma I just want to see them suffer. I can't even crack a smile at any of it. You can feel the spite and anger in every sentence of this show and it shows what a sad little existence the writer has. They have one gag which is HAHA look white man which is only funny to Hollywood execs whose sense of humour died when they found their wives with the pool boy.

[@MrTonyktn]

Wait a minute…..Velma is a comedy?

[@blacksuperwoman1837]

Just call this the Mindy show because that's not Velma. The running gag was that she was always losing her glasses and couldn't see a thing. Hollywood is determined to shit all over my childhood and teenagerhood.

[@thetacopunch]

Disparu seems like the kind of guy who’s have charged the beaches of Normandy and taken a pillbox by himself, that’s the only explanation I have for the sheer bravery of this man to subject himself to this for our entertainment

[@rickjohnson9558]

As someone born raised and who currently resides in Los Angeles I can assure you Mindy Kaling is far more representative of her Ivy League upbringing than anything I’ve ever encountered in my life. Most of the nuts and flakes we’re so famous for actually came from somewhere else

[@TheDaks27]

As someone who's dealt with both Los Angelenos and Ivy leaguers, I concur with your statement. Most people involved in Hollywood don't live in Hollywood or the surrounding area. Most Ivy leaguers are also known as the "creme de la creme" of my parent's money bought me an education which I couldn't be bothered because it's what they wanted and I just wanted to get drunk. Not to be equated with ambitious yet misguided fools that don't understand how nepotistic Hollywood really is. And they themselves aren't even the majority of people who actually compose the city.

Was waiting for this

[@HegeMarie]

Well, this origin story that noone ever asked for answered some of the questions we never had. It makes perfectly clear why she later started hating herself as much as the viewers will and completely changed her personality into the one we know from Scooby. Why she would also change her ethnicity, ( and possibly sexuality) is still an open mystery that we can and will wait for them to solve 🤔

[@MrTusk-lv2cf]

[@sneeringimperialist6667]

On the Monk TV show , his wife gave him a birthday present that he didn't open until the end of the series . Inside he found a clue that lead to her killer , and to a daughter she gave up for adoption before they .et that he never knew about... He had serious mental problems that kept him from being able to open the present before that... I don't know what Velma's reason could be...

[@stevenscott2718]

The thing is even if he didn't have mental problems not opening the present makes sence as until the finale he didn't know that her death had anything to do with her past, he thought it was to do with his police work so no reason for there to be a clue there.

You might be right, it literally looks like a ploy to point fingers at everyone and call them either a something -ist or -phobic

[@Jartran72]

But wokeism is about virtue signaling, like pretending that you care about all races, all made up genders and sexualities and so forth. She is just an awful human being, I know she would probably not get targeted by the woke crowd since she is gay and black (2 protective shields) but she is no one they would like to advertise on. Woke most of the time means you want to pretend that you are incredibly altruistic and Velma is not pretending, just an open cu*t.

Mindy Kaling grew up in Cambridge, Mass, the daughter of an internationally consulted architect and an OB/GYN - she graduated from Dartmouth and was given an internship at Conan O'Brien at nineteen, then her own show (The Mindy Project) before she was 21. This after a lifetime of private schooling, graduating from Buckingham Browne and Nichol in 1997 She is literally the 1% Unless you believe being the child of an immigrant undoes this.. if that's the case, then a whole lot of the 1% don't count. TLDR - these people think we're dirt-eating peasants.

[@hrafnruni2929]

Only Disparu video I'm glad is short.🥴

[@Kevin_Street]

I have not watched this show, and don't intend to. So thank you Disparu for taking a bullet for the rest of us and actually watching it. As for what HBO thought they were getting, Mindy Kaling wrote quite a few well regarded episodes of The Office (the American version of the show), and something called The Mindy Project that I haven't seen but Rotten Tomatoes seems to think it was great. So I guess they were hoping for that kind of success again. It's the old Hollywood formula of taking a "hot" talent and attaching them to a familiar old IP. Not sure if it's ever actually worked, but they think it's certain to make money.

[@sinkaisen9363]

Efap, The little Platoon and now you, yes! All the greats come together to tell it how it really is.

[@whos-the-stiff]

Also if Velma's mother wore red, round glasses why does Velma wear square black glasses, if they supposedly belonged to her mother ?

[@Dan_theSandwichman]

People tend to have more than one pair of glasses. The show is bad enough without having to nitpick.

[@manuelramospetruchena4620]

It's like they're creating a podcast for scriptwriters where they talk about their insecurities, hopes and dreams... But to make it appealing to other people, they do it while trashing IPs. In what universe could that possibly work
