The "meta" part of the Velma show is that it was made to fail lol. It's pretty obvious the showrunners either HATE the Scooby Doo IP or want to use it as controversy fodder.

That's the twist.
That's why Warner Bros said they refused to include the iconic dog in the mix.
They don't want the most marketable character associated with an orchestrated trainwreck. Everyone else is free game.

If you're upset at the ridiculous writing and blatant sabotage of trademark characters, stop taking it seriously. You're getting played. The trolling within the writing was intentional. It doesn't have to make sense to you why. Just know that's what it is.

When you stop looking at it like some activist celeb trying to "woke-ify" a childhood series and more like a deliberate attempt to crap all over a classic IP to stir up attention, it ironically starts making clearer sense lmao. Don't worry. No matter how hated this gets, it won't destroy the franchise. It's Velma, not Scooby Doo. And the WB execs know that. It's why it got greenlit.
