No doubt people will blame it's lackluster performance on how "woke" it is.

Its that and irrelevant

Not a winning combination

Except for the producer since the check cleared

The show may very well be fine, but it screamed vanity project from the very first reveal, so it won't be shocked if it ends up being mediocre. When you have someone who is normally a talented writer creating a show, where the side character is now the main character and also happens to look and act exactly like you do as a person, I think the odds of that show or movie being good are pretty low in general.

The concept of the show seems so weird in the first place. Recontextualizing the main character is one thing, but it seems like most everything is so radically different that it just feels like it's basically just stealing the clout from an existing IP for the sake of propping up something that couldn't get greenlit on its own merit.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

You can't compare the supporting cast of Batman with the supporting cast of Scooby Doo.

As is, a Batman without Batman game is going to trounce a Scooby Doo show without Scooby Doo, in terms of reception and popularity, 9 times out of 10.

Well this is the trailer

https://youtu.be/lHdtsWn7sgE

I'm no Scooby-Doo expert or mega fan but I think before this, she was never known to be overly obsessed with pop culture . In this, she is a snarky fangirl who gets mad about pop culture news

The whole trailer is just meta commentary. People want to watch a interesting show, not be lectured to.

This is show is so different from Scooby Doo I don't know why it wasn't just an original show to begin with. Surely there's an audience for a Mindy Kaling cartoon. They didn't need to drag Velma through this.

Does anyone actually still really care about Scooby Doo?

It was one of those shows that was just always on tv. Never actually met anyone who was a fan. The merchandise was driven by grandma buying birthday or Christmas presents. You never see kids talking about Scooby Doo, and adults only talk about it in jest or parody.

This series is a relic and this show wasnt going to do anything to help. Nobody cares about this franchise enough to watch a spinoff about a character people only like because of some weird online fetish.

If they wanted this to work, they should have just made it a straight up parody, meta, or just gritty Scooby Doo. Why this

But if they even attempted that, I'm almost certain that they'd drop her other traits. Like, yeah, she's obviously "the hot one" but she's also the gang's jack of all trades and at times the only one to see the obvious.

In the last 25 years, they have released 38 animated movies and 5 live action movies, 6 plays, 6 TV series, and another TV series is in the works, why do that if nobody watches them?

Nah Wednesday has been popular ever since Cristina Ricci played the character.

A Velma show with the same intelligence/cleverness aa something like House would've been the right direction.

The way this was looking was an entirely backwards approach. Not to be a hater, but I also kinda see Mindy as someone in the industry propelled by popularity more than talent. It is true that some actors/actresses land creative roles the same way, but it can be a hit or miss.
