I feel like there's no way it's as bad as the internet is saying that it is

Even critics hate it:

  • Velma mostly replaces the old silly sensibility with crass name-droppy pointlessness.
  • Jokes become exhausting in the meta, not-for-kids Scooby Doo prequel.
  • You have to wonder, in the development of Velma, where did everything go so horribly wrong?
  • Sporadically witty but ultimately rather tedious, the HBO Max comedy leverages more than a half-century of name equity to yield an animated prequel thats definitely not for kids, meddling or otherwise.
  • Its been done before, and much better, using unique takes on the gang that maintained their essence, so Velma is never as groundbreaking as it seems to think it is. More than that, these characters are just really unpleasant to spend time with.
