Yeah, my guess is that Scooby Doo kind of already hit the spot with Velma being queer-coded and the rest of the cast being hippies, so this wasn't really seen as necessary.

just saw the first 2 episodes and yeah, not really feeling it either.

seems like they try to go the Harley Quinn route except the writing here is shit and the jokes are unfunny.

also not a fan of how they portray the characters in this, specially Shaggy and Fred...

so yeah, no hate to Mindy but this aint it girl!

It's really the most cynical thing I've seen in a while. The creativity on display is that of those weirdos on the mid 2000s internet who made creepypastas about the friendliest characters like Barney. But in this case they actually got a hold of the Barney license.

How far removed from this:

Don't hate watch anything. That goes for literally any piece of media, don't fucking hate watch or buy a game to hate play or whatever, just don't.
This goes for the other people in this topic, do not hate watch this if you have an HBO Max subscription, the only thing HBO will see is a view, and they will not know the intent of this view, only seeing it as an indicator that people want to watch the show.

Honest question even though it's going to sound like bait/trolling: is there anything specific she's said or done in the past to lead you to believe she's rather progressive outside of being a brown woman in Hollywood? Or was there an implicit assumption that she must be progressive because of that?

race swapping isn't the issue here.

obnoxious characters, lame jokes and bad writing are.

i could continue watching it just to see if it gets better (or at least tolerable) but since the 2 episodes left a bad taste, i probably won't even bother...

A Velma show with the same intelligence/cleverness aa something like House would've been the right direction.
yes! i love house and that would be awesome

how i would better the show:
have it be solely about a more adult Velma and a new (crime solving) dog, maybe a little pomeranian or something to differentiate more from scoob. she can have new friends too as supporting characters, and have scooby and the gang show up as cameos sometimes and show briefly their lives. there shouldn't be anything to the graphic level of decapitation or anything like that and the humor and crimes should not be too juvenile either, mysteries with house levels of intelligence but no gore or anything like that since i dont think that stuff fits this series in the slightest. give the show an interesting overarching mystery that she is trying to solve or something. there can be mini mysteries inbetween... maybe have her try to balance her career with her mystery solving? like she wants to move on but people know who she is because of her reputation as a crime solver and keep dragging her back to investigations and just like dr house she is very competent but very tired

i dunno that was my best shot, not good at this

You know what it felt like? The first episode was so rushed and poorly written, it felt like a genuine old pilot episode.. As in, trying to show the concept and nothing more. There is no way a premier episode should feel like this.

Whole episode felt like baby's first meta joke.

Okay Spoilers for the first 10 mins.

Velma Complains about Superheroes being white men or hot women who got made.

Two cockroaches have sex, just to be crushed by someone dressed like the killer from I know what you did last summer.

Girls are in shower not even being meta. Just talking about TV pilots. Like Meta is one thing. They were just giving a description of their situation.

Daphne gets in a shower fight with someone over Riverdale.

For some reason in the middle of this fight Velma still dressed like a 90s killer, hits Daphne and knocked her into some lockers around 15 feet away. All to ask her what does she think about race blind casting.

They find dead a body in Velma's locker she is arrested. And now talking to Daphnes LESBIAN parents. I highlight that because the show made sure to point it out. Then a whole expedition dumb. Will all shit one of the things that bothered me the most. Was when talking to Daphne's parents. Velma was sure to say.

" Well your adopted daughter this and that." Like just so forced and unnatural. I think we can put two and two together since her parents are black and white.
