Velma - Just the Worst Thing 

May the God help your soul.

We thank you for this altruistic sacrifice

I'm reminded of Meme Repository's comments on finishing editing EFAP Snyder Cut, "I shall persevere and then I shall find the tallest tower in the world"

What have we done. WHAT HAVE WE DONE??

We don't deserve you lol

And in the show there are scenes that say otherwise, Fred was falsely accused, Velma manipulated Norville, Velma's dad literally had to work very hard after mother was kidnapped, Fred's dad was hypnotized and his wife married him just to get rich, Fred almost got his brain removed

@@realdragon Indeed. Hence, again, the accusations that it's an incredibly convoluted psyop by right-ringers to lampoon left-wing bullshit.

“Men have it so easy” when women can literally sell pictures of their feet and pay their bills.

@@NeonSuperNovas Lol wish the game was that easy

@@lilybrass9yearsago264 hell, one girl was selling her bath water lol.

tahts right. the show could have turned into a masterpiece and we would have never known!!!

A true member of a platoon jumps on a grenade so his friends can survive.

The funniest thing about "Velma" was that the Eokes thought it was a fakewoke show intended make Woke look bad. It is horribly fascinating in picking up the plot -holes, like the contradictory motive for the murders. Not Hot girls but smart brains, in the end. It has signs of post -it note plot construction.

I'm absolutely fascinated by this show. It's like watching a train carrying nuclear waste derailing into a burning orphanage for special needs children that's built on an Indian burial ground.

@@Adamant_Consternation So basically this show is the train wreck in Ohio?

Ikr?! And everyone laughs like it was funny? Wtf, really highlights how the disconnected the Hollywood scene is from everywhere else in the world

she should have gotten sued for it. maybe it wouldn't have done much to her but maybe it would have knocked her off her high horse for a minute

Lee Pace should have sued her pants off.

She's clearly telling that story ironically. It didn't actually happen, she just thinks she's making a poignant statement of "I'm pretending I'm doing the same things men do that and they get away with because they're men". What she fails to realize is that it isn't their penis that lets them get away with doing these awful things, it's because of a complex web of power politics and exploitation that enables it. She doesn't realize she is exactly one of the tools that enables do these awful things and get away with it.

​@@chazzitz-wh4ly gross sue her so keeps her crusty pants on but yeah I get it lol

That's pretty feminist; if a man doesn't like you, he's shit and you shouldn't give a fuck about him or his opinions--of course it's not possible that he might actually have some kind of point.

I'd like but this has exactly 100 likes and I'm not gonna ruin that

*sigh* I sadly disagree as she was the writer of The Injury episode of The Office.

​@@Uspr73 is unbelivable that the same person who wrote some of the best episodes of the office is the same writing this shit

pretty much, Kaling was never funny, not sure how she had show run for 3 seasons, she was only funny in Office, but that's because Office had good writers, she is hack

* *Mindy Failing*

@@Uspr73 She was part of a writing team. And based on this it was the rest of the team carrying the show.

Don’t you get it? It’s the man’s fault for moving on and cleaning the house. He should have stayed miserable and let the house be dirty forever.

This show theoretically takes place in California (I've never heard otherwise). In California, someone has to be missing for five years to be declared legally dead. However, that doesn't apply to this instance, because Aman was under the impression that Diya left voluntarily. Diya said the marriage was loveless and sexually unfulfilling, so it's no surprise that Aman moved on when he thought she'd left, especially since Sophie flirted with him. It's not an affair if she left of her own accord. She wasn't abducted until after she had already left her home.

Velma's mom supposedly disappeared 2yrs prior, but that's just poor writing. Velma looks too young compared to present day. Either that was an insane growth spurt or the writer's sense of time is messed up.

@@tvesrb ... what 2 years ? I swear she looks like 5 when her mom disappeared and now she's 15 so I assumed where at least 10 years between the 2 events

@@lexnight8345 This was close to impression as well If I recall correctly, missing for 7 years, for whatever reason, constitutes legally dead. And given the length of the pregnancy (combined with her... promiscuity) that the new girl wasn't around that long So I put my guess that those 7 years were fulfilled before the new marriage

And even then, some man, like evil general guy, was REALLY responsible.

Im glad she's been able to take a taste of the nihilism of a man's worthless.. replaceable life.

i read it was assisted suicide after admitting herself to a facility

Damn. Kinda feels like Mindy spat on that poor woman’s memory by being like “men have it so much easier cos MEN lol”

🤣

You are disrespecting the monkey script

Respect the monkey script, dammit!!!

@@toufikhb253 fr u can’t insult monke like that

Bullshit, monkeys would come up with better than that. Don't smear the good name of monkeys in this manner.

no but his a white guy which makes it okay and not incredibly racist and sexist

It really feels like a case of the writers first turning Fred into a strawman and then writing what is known as "revenge fanfic" about him.

Honestly I'd say that's still a better fate that being Mindy Kaling's self insert

No but see he's white and cis and male and wealthy so it's okay for bad things to happen to him. Because fuck lifting people up, instead let's drag those who are successful _down._

honestly, despite all of that, my biggest gripe with the show is *still* how disgustingly unlikable velma actually is. her attitude, actions, and words are hateful and rude throughout the ENTIRE show- the character is totally irredeemable in every way.

How about a year's worth a therapy as well, to help him speak to someone on how something like this gets made, and causing people to drive into insanity?

💜

​​@@osmanyousif7849And it somehow is still getting a season 2, idk what's going on with Hollywood, same as Kathleen kennedy. You fuck up you get a warning and get fired after the second fuck up, but with these guys you can fuck up a thousand times and still have your job. Disgusting to all the minimum wage workers who've been fired for way less.

💜

I’ve heard this Gigi/Scooby theory a few times now and it is disturbingly plausible.

I did consider it too, and there is still another season....

@@TheLittlePlatoon After all the character switching/butchering, that wouldn't surprise me the least, just another gender switch resuting in Scooby Dee.

@@macsmith2013 I meant, Gigi is 100% cooler than Velma, thinking of this, I don't doubt if Mindy sees how Velma is shitty she will try to use the Velma into Scoo- just thinking that hurts, I 100% prefer Gigi over Velma...

HBO Max actually won't even let them lay a finger on Scooby Doo.

i think its also the fact that she secretly fetishizes white men, but hates herself for it and, thus, is in love with them while simultaneously hating them and making them the irredeemable and worse character of the show. But i agree totally with what you said I just wanted to add that take because i think it may have some validity.

Its people and shows like this that make feminism have the connotation of misandry to so many people. It’s disgusting

She is such an abhorrent person I would fill my mouth with soap right in front of her if that ever happened. The taste of soap would be much better than her non consentual activities.

_She hates any woman who might be considered physically more attractive than her_ ... Then she hate all the human females in the world?

Yep. It’s what she did in The Office. The dreadful Mindy Project, and now this

wait inside job isn't getting another season???

There's still stuff like Arcane and Puss N Boots the Last Wish

@@crfstewarje And Hilda's final Season

I'm still sad about Inside Job being canceled. I think we were supposed to watch Season 2 in a couple months, actually. Sad stuff.

Really salty about Final Space

*And in rare and serious circumstances death

Velma is not recommended after taking the Mindy project. Do not take Velma unless you don't have any other choice. Ask you're doctor if Velma would be slightly better than death by rat disemboulement.

If you are pregnant or may become pregnant, you should not engage with Velma.

* and unspecified number of diseases and medical conditions not yet discovered by modern science

The right wing psyop theory gets more plausible every episode From ‘bullshit’ to ‘a funny meme’ but it’s something

🤣🤣🤣

@The Looinrims they're not that self aware bro

@@toufikhb253 I know they’re not but you have to wonder sometimes…

This plot point pretty much writes itself, because if the bad white guy actually sincerely embraces feminist theory, he can no longer be targeted for his white privledge, but must have some other negative trait to be ridiculed, and just like a red piller on an annoying rant, feminist theory is also not funny, and not particularly interesting being parroted by a white guy, so feminism itself, and Fred's chances of 'white knighing' any gain from feminism easily becomes the joke, because its just as ridiculous as the distaff counterpart from red pill.

If anything it was usually Fred who was the first to praise Velma for her intelligence after catching the episode's villain.

It pisses me off that people still think Velma does all the work when that’s absolutely not the case in the original and most incarnations… she’s the most analytical and has the strongest deductive reasoning. That’s not the same thing as doing all the work. Fred and Daphne, for example, have good intuition and can read people really well. Shaggy and Scooby are good at thinking on their feet. Thats why they’re a team…

It’s what she wishes was true so she could employ her victim complex, of course she doesn’t care if it’s factual or not, she just convinces herself of a delusion where that’s true

So true, a real cinematic masterpiece!

One of the most things ever made

Really one of the animated series moments of all time.

*Ekse by Off the Meds starts playing*

the og show was full of stuff that would raise a brow to anyone with half a brain to notice. they were just better at hiding it back then also..they were "different times".

And also gets the opportunity to bring an iconic character that has been loved for generations to a new show... And genuinely believes everyone wants to see a thinly-veiled version of herself instead.

If it was an original property, I don't think it would have gotten anywhere near the hate. It would have been a silly "try hard" show.

an indian person. *COUGH COUGH*

@@A_RU-vid_Commenter yeah no shit thats why people hated it but that doesn't mean it would be more popular its still a bitchy hatful racist cartoon that goes nowhere

It would be horrifying and devastating for any family but the reaction does not fit at all with the dynamic the writers have set up in this family in particular. Dad’s a lawyer. Mom’s super fixated on her daughter’s grades, is in competition with family members on whose child is doing the best. She’s excited about her daughter’s future. This isn’t a “welp, guess you better start taking some of those online certification classes for when that boy leaves you and we get another generation of single mothers in this family” family dynamic. Then add the fact she’s a baby herself, like you said. We’re supposed to imagine mom’s been gone two years? There would be weeping, shame, disappointment. “It’s all my fault! You never would have made such an irresponsible and reckless decision if you’d had your mom!” Norville would not be welcome at the house.

Yeah same to be honest... That's essentially means a pedophile banged her and impregnated her... which is yikes in so many levels.

The fact that at the end he can't throw the show into the fire and rid us of it is a tragedy

Except Mount Doom is Velma's twerking butt.

@@huntertaylor367 but it is a profound statement on the human condition.

"I can't carry it for you... But I can like, share, and subscribe!" -Samways Gammage

Frodo gets to mount doom and is stopped by a black elf who tells him he has a white savior complex and sauron is the good guy for trying to enslave middle earth because middle earth is racist for only having white people or something like that. Rings of Power, Season 2, you heard it here first

Vomiting on party is more fun than watching Velma

​@Samar3n Do you want them to roll over and play fetch too?

@@Vaguer_Weevil Nah that's what we got the Ukrainians for. Instead, we going Sand Sledding

@Samar3n да?

Dang, sign me up. Because I'd like to take a full bottles with me to the theaters if I'm forced to watch garbage.

Oh, god yes. I wouldn’t normally skip over whole chunks of episodes in a review, but with this one, they were so pointless that the only thing achieved by including them would be insanity.

The amount of insight, hour long script, cheeky phrasing, and editing work this man puts into these shitty show covers makes it incredibly entertaining. He makes my woman parts tingle a little.

Just putting it here that Lee Pace is pronounced pache and not pace.

I watched it through Nux, and watching him bitch and moan was really entertaining 😂

I was hoping to find somebody else who understood that reference

With your powers combined, I am CAPTAAAAAIN CAAAAAAVEMAAAAAAAN!

My vague childhood memories told me Captain Caveman was one of the Slag Brothers - apparently not!

@@TheLittlePlatoon To be fair, very similar. But they lack the cape.

I'd argue about how popular Captain Caveman actually was. As memory serves, his show was a _Flintstones_ spinoff... and they couldn't come up with a more interesting premise than yet another 'mystery solving youths with a bizarre sidekick' show. Which is how he got associated with the most famous of those many, many shows.

Most people don't like teens twerking... for obvious reasons... it's even worse when you get the context from that statement.

And here I thought She-Hulk and MTS twerking was the worst thing to ever witness.... Which I mean, should I be comparing?

In a different show that would've been hillarious. But not here.

the fact that you did all that makes me not wanna listen to you at all because of your mental instability even more so since you were a kid when you did it

I currently have a scabbed blister on my arm that when I press it, a green bubble appears and its so painful. I can't imagine having a full palm sized blister let alone the pain when it pops! Yeowch!

Bro why'd you slam your hand against a wall 💀

Why did you go and slam your hand against a brick wall?! 😂

Meanwhile I'd rather fall down the last two steps, slam my head, and scar my knee again than watch the damn show! This video proves it.

Honestly, would be funnier than anything else in the show.

Will they turn Norville into a furry too?

Joshuathe dog pill strikes again,that is assuming they don't go for the cucked by dog joke that I'm 70% sure will happen.

@@JoshuaClassified if this show does indeed get a 2nd season then I’m sure they’ll find a way to debase these characters even further

Oh please, God, no. My only consolation has been that our precious pooch has been left out of this.

don’t feel bad - it’s all cheap, flat, boring animation

RU-vid creator Billiam makes a case that without Scrappy, _Velma_ would never have happened. For fairness's sake, it must be noted that the argument is largely that _Scooby Doo_ would be as well remembered as _Jabberjaw_ or _Speed Buggy._

Like a guest on JLongbone's channel said, "I now look at Scrappy Doo tenderly and think perhaps I have been too harsh." 🤣

If you survived the cancer you’d get from watching it.

Except that you could compress the plot of the entire season down to about five minutes without leaving anything out.

@@boobah5643make season 2 expensive as hell to buy but you can get it for free by watching the entirety of the first season.

@Trenton No no, I've seen amazing stuff put out by mostly women staff it's when those women have an agenda (racism, sexism, want to make up their own story instead of using what's given to them) you can't just blame it because they're women because no its because they are racists bitches that want to talk about racism and sexism and then tell people if they don't like it it means they're racist or sexist

As yes, Writing By Telephone, sounds like that would go swimmingly.

@StarWarsomania *if only they were as entertaining as Mark, Tyler and Ethan. This show might have had a chance*

Welcome aboard!

@colinm4055 True as.. 🤔 You know those crappy people that are so openly unashamedly shallow, spiteful & hateful, that others are like "haha, very funny", (thinking they are trying to be funny, cos no one normal is like this, & so unashamedly too ) .. But they aren't trying to be funny.. They are simply that unashamedly shallow & hateful that people keep thinking it has to be a joke.. 🤦‍♀️ So these crapolas now believe everyone finds their personality thoughts funny ( all laughing with them ).. But we actually don't & aren't.. We find them hateful, hateable & completely un-selfaware etc.. THIS is the writers.. why they think they are "meta-aware" & funny.. Thinking that just being aware of your crapiness is good enough..😶 ( like saying "Yeah, I'm abusive.. Haha, oh well, let's get on with life", without actually doing anything to be better or not do it..) .. 🤔☮️🌏

Well now, that’s high praise! There’s a lot to take from the current era, though. In more serious media criticism (my Avatar video much more than the Velma ones), it gives you a lot to play off - it’s broken, but why, how, what; what are the fundamental lessons we need to re-learn; why does Aliens work, dramatically, where Way of Water doesn’t. So it’s still engaging, to me at least.

@@TheLittlePlatoon Oh it is very engaging, enlightening, and entertaining at my end as well. Your Avatar video was excellent. The Rings of Power is my favorite. Each had very important lessons to take away. My only wish is that you will be presented with a real challenge of a Movie, something so good that most people will give it a 95% out of 100% without even thinking, highlighting the most obvious achievements. And when the time comes for you to review it, you will discover a real, genuine hidden gem or flaw that 99% of the audience and reviewers will miss. Those slight nuances not only enrich the movie experience itself, but also makes your audience better observers in the future, whether we are casual moviegoers or storytellers ourselves. To be honest, of all the reviewers on RU-vid that I've seen, I think you are the only one that can pull it off. Good luck. No pressure.... :)

@@j-d-2958 Closest I’ve come to that is Andor, weirdly, but I only had time for a second channel video. Was fun to go through philosophy (panopticon etc) as opposed to “this is obviously idiotic.”

Ok, but Gladiator and Braveheart are shit.

@@TheLittlePlatoonseeing folks like you and the Drinker certainly help. Keep up the good work!

The Little Platoon, love the Channel. Is it not hypicrital to moan about politics in entertainment, and then make pathetically false claims about a political figure as if its facts?

@@ChaseDaOrk3767 Then, pray tell, what would you call the targeted destruction of yet *another* wholesome, cultural, intellectual property that also propagates the normalization of pedophilia (15 and 16 year old girls being naked or sexually harassing full grown men on screen) and racism (lots of white bigotry)?

"It is not dead which rests eternal" It seems only fitting to compare Velma to a horrible Zombie. Or, in this case, an Eldritch Abomination.

​@@TheLittlePlatoon A break well earned.

Thing is, it’s not even consistent - she’s shown fawning over him in earlier episodes. He’s a mummy’s boy. The “she secretly hates him” bit was just invented for the final episode.

@@TheLittlePlatoon Ironically there is a better story laced in there. If I wrote it, his mom, knowing of the project, was going to replace his brain with hers so she can obtain some kind of strange immortality and be able to control the company in the body of her son and then her grandchildren. However, so no one would care what happened about the real Fred, she raised him to be as stupid, unlikable, and obnoxious as possible so when she took over his body no one would care and see her as an improvement to the old Fred. As for Diya Dinkley, she was actually a completely conscious and willing participant in the scheme since in exchange for performing the murders themselves in exchange for a plot for a brand new murder mystery and to get revenge on Velma and her ex-husband by framing them for the murders since Diya thinks they ruined her life after she was forced to marry Aman after a one-night stand got her pregnant. We also learn that Velma's memories about Diya were wrong and that it wasn't Aman who was the abusive one in the relationship, it was Diya who would verbally, emotionally, and physically abuse her husband in front of Velma who he constantly tried to defend. In the end, Victoria and Diya are defeated but Velma and Fred are distraught at finding out everything they knew about their mothers was a lie and in the end, they were just an inconvenience or a means to an end. However, they both decide they won't be like them. For his part, Fred decides that he's going to learn to be more independent and try to become worldly beyond his mom's mental conditioning while Velma realizes how much the abuse her mother inflicted on her father affected her own personality and how she treats others and decides to finally seek therapy and apologizes to the other for how she treated them.

Or just hypnotize Fred to change his personality, like she has the power to manipulate people’s minds and she instead goes with this convoluted plan.
