But I've also read that Velma is going to have a 2nd season. If this is true (big IF), surely that would imply that WB think it was somewhat of a success?

Sort of pathetic and typical of his generation.

HBO Max doesn't have any big IP animated shows, outside of those 2. Maybe I'm wrong

Dude, most of those reviews start out with “I haven’t seen it yet, but…”

Gee, I wonder if Velma gets worse, or it's just getting review bombed...
It gets worse.
Mindy's self-insert as 'Velma' is brazenly revealing. Girl's got self-esteem as well as daddy issues.

Yeah, it's very, very weird to be honest.
I'm not sure why she thought it was the right decision.

I watched the 1st episode just to see if it was really THAT bad. Which it wasn't but still bad so I don't plan on watching any more episodes.

This is true. Your side is psycho enough to do it efficiently. Normal people don’t.

Im partially to blame. I cut it on to see what all the talk was about, then quit paying attention and put on a ps5 a few minutes in and forgot about it. It played the whole season without me even watching.

I said “daddy issues”. I didn’t know it was this bad.
Velma & dad enjoy some quality daddy daughter time… at the strip club.
* Reminder - Velma is in high school.

The right doesn't participate in cancel culture. Cancel culture is demanding something be destroyed whether it's popular or not.
Not watching =/= cancel culture

The comparison is brazen disingenuousness. The claim, taken to its logical conclusion, is that any negative review of something is "cancel culture."
So, you know, whenever Siskel and Ebert gave a movie a bad review, they were engaging in cancel culture
What we're seeing is nothing more than movie/T.V. reviews being democratized via the internet.
Liberals used to champion things like empowering the common people to speak up, except...oops, not when the common people think they wrong way!

It's similar to when the Christian Right tried to ban D&D by burning the books.
I doubt this happened on any real level. I know there was a period where movies like The Craft and magic was founded on by the ultra conservative Christians, but this never really became anything meaningful.
Not like people were burning LOTR or CS Lewis' work which is all about magic and fantasy.

I turned it on just to see if the outrage was as silly as most outrage. I made it to the shower scene and noped out. That showed right away how hard they were trying to be edgy, and I've got no interest in it.

Umm, stop clowning yourself long enough to realize there are no hard solid viewing numbers for Velma.
Behind the *numbers*. Parret Analytics. RKOutpost video
They track mentions on social media, not true ratings.
'Audience demand' isn't actual views.

Here's a good review of how awful this show is

quote:
Velma is so bad in fact, that it’s spawning conspiracy theories that creator Mindy Kaling made what is essentially a parody of what the right wing thinks left wing comedy is like. As in, a show that not just recast most roles with new races, but also features loads and loads of “white guys, amiright?” jokes. The idea is that Kaling is a secretly conservative force in media trying to make the left look bad by making a cringey adult cartoon full of “this rich white guy has a small dong” jokes that the right can point at as everything wrong with race-recasted, social justice-influenced media.
quote:
Velma is not that. Velma is not defensible by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just bad. Making progressive jokes is fine so long as the jokes are good. They are not good. I heard the show described somewhere as a series written by TV writers who only ever talk to other TV writers. That’s a pretty good summary. And the idea here is that it’s so, so bad at landing its jabs at right wingers that it almost feels like self-sabotage.
quote:
There is a world in which this concept might have worked. I can see an “adult” Scooby Doo series where you have an overlooked Velma attempting to claw back credit from a privileged Fred, the “leader” of the gang. And yet here it’s not just jabbing at Fred for being an overconfident white dude, it’s literally “he’s such a whiny white man baby that his mommy cuts his steak and he hasn’t finished puberty so he has a small penis.” Like just…no remote hint of subtlety or nuance or anything that could make the progressive humor work.

In fact, I should probably reframe my statement, the right loves cancel culture, they are just really bad at it in film/tv(see review bombing than turning around and hate watching shows and getting them renewed, or just failing altogether: ROP). Elsewhere they are finding some successes. Mostly in turning their own shitty states into hillbilly Gilead.
