Season 2 confirmed.
It's Santa Inc all over again, the show is fine. I don't know what the big deal is?

its also like... the only hbo max animated original lmao someone posted a list and there were like 4 other shows that no one has heard of on there
I was thinking of this when I saw that tweet, the only original animated shows I've heard of are Jellystone and that show by the Regular Show guy. Not exactly much competition.

It's probably been mentioned but the clips I've been seeing have reinforced takes I've been seeing that this was made by someone who wishes to mock liberal social justice culture. Like they're specifically making this to caricaturize that in order to... I don't know... create something for right-wingers to make fun of slash be mad at?

why would Mindy Kaling of all people sign up for that...? Constance Wu? Wanda Sykes? Jane Lynch?

your theory is swiss cheese

Close Enough (JG Quintel's show) got canceled and completely removed from the platform. And it was super underrated.

Not to speak for another poster but..

Kaling has history of saying questionable things and she called herself conservative.

I'm not surprised that the show came out strong with viewership. I mean, Titans was also heavily criticized, but that lasted for quite a few seasons. The worst thing a show can be is mediocre, which it sounds like this show isn't at least, for its own sake. Being bad is a better fate.

Titans is so uniquely garbage that it's almost worth watching. It's like how the last season of Game of Thrones still had amazing acting and production quality but just had shit writing. Titans is that x30.

Oh my good it is. I watched it just to complain about it. I normally don't hate watch unless just to give something a try. But the Titans was so bad I was sure that they were doing it on purpose .

The Titans have killed more innocent people than the bad guys. Nightwing/Dick Beats up police , get sent to jail, escapes jail , and now just walks around like it is nothing. They know who he is and still just a free man. Then he helps the scarecrow escape and the scarecrow kills a lot of people. And he does this as Dick Grayson , he is a known criminal and everyone in the world acts like it is nothing.

The heroes drive Jason Todd to try to kill himself. And they don't even say damn we messed up. Hawk and Dove is the reason another kid gets killed and they are like oh well.

Just typing make it makes me happy , because it is so bad.

Kind of the same, but I only made it through S2. With all of the stupid shit it did, I think my biggest annoyance was that Mercy's big exhibition bout for showing off Lex's Superman clone was having him fight a tiger. She'd already shown him fire a gun at her and catch the bullet before she was shot, that was way more impressive.

The subreddit pops up on my recommended every once in a while and everyone there seems to hate-watch it too lol. I've never seen a post that genuinely liked the show, they all agree that it's trash.

Close enough got 3 seasons before getting axed for tax write off purposes, not viewership.

Zaslav only cares about $$$. If Velma brings in viewership he'll shurn out more. If its cheaper to write it off its dead.

The highest viewed HBO Max cartoon propaganda that's been being spouted reminds me of when people were talking about how Batman v Superman had the highest second Tuesday of a superhero movie released in March or some shit, where there were a bunch of asterisks to this achievement that sounds impressive if you don't think about it for more than 5 seconds.

Nah, no way.

Change Velma to a blond white girl or even keep her as the original and people can still recognize bad writing when we see or hear it. Its ham fisted, as in forced. And it apparently doesnt appeal to fans of the old show either.

Put aside your bias and itll be easier for you to admit.

Who's talking about writing? Most decided the show was gonna be bad before it even came out. Because she was brown.

This isnt the first or second time they've swapped her race but this is the first time she's been brown. Its plain to see lol.

Must have been another topic since I don't see it in this one, but I vaguely remember in a Velma topic where someone mentioned that race changing the titular character gave Toonstrack an easy out for any critique directed to the show's godawful writing, looks like the nail was hit right on the head.

Show isn't for me but we'll know if it is a success or not if it gets renewed for season 2.
Not in an era when we have shows like Halo and Star Trek Discovery renewed for more seasons before they even air.

Funny thing about this is that Scooby Doo but darker and edgier has been done before and arguably better (Zombie Island and its sequels, Mystery Inc., the Supernatural episode, and others I'm missing I'm sure).

Feels like Velma was just trying to be the Ghostbusters 2016 of the franchise except not even the people who enjoyed that are enjoying this it seems, so it just feels like this was just too late to that particular train.
