'Velma' is a crushing disappointment—but it might have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling Tweets. velma mindykaling scoobydoo
Let’s just get one thing clear: Velma is not the same old Scooby-Doo we know and love from our childhoods. With Mindy Kaling starring as the voice actor for Velma, this show is directed toward the now-adult audience who grew up watching Scooby-Doo. The show was written by Charlie Grandy, and despite starring a lot of great actors like Glenn Howerton, Sam Richardson, and Constance Wu, the show seems to fall far short of expectations.
ADVERTISEMENT When it comes down to it there aren’t many similarities from the original Scooby-Doo other than the characters and the shared premise of solving mysteries . The humor in the show fails to land. It makes some jokes that seem to be geared toward Gen-Z, but then completely misses the mark. This tweet depicts a perfect example of the tone-deaf jokes in this show.
— 𝑓𝑒𝑚𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑡𝑎̀𝑙𝑒 January 13, 2023 While yes, it’s 2023, and diversity in shows is not only something we want but something we expect, viewers are claiming this show not only fails to do its diverse cast justice but instead makes a mockery of what could’ve been a great show. Twitter has not yet ceased its fire directed at Mindy Kaling for ruining what could have been a great spin-off.
