The Scoobi thing is fake btw. Only thing that comes up when to google "Velma Scoobi" is one culture war Youtuber raging about it. But its literally just some shit somebody made up. The black woman is Velma's friend and not named Scoobi. Idk why you gotta make up shit about this show to make it look bad when it looks bad all on its own, or even what the point of doing so is, but someone did so. I wanna ping everyone who engaged with that information because I hate misinformation but I will resist the temptation and just hope everyone checks.

The worst part about all of that though is how absolutely plausible it was in context of the show. Like, any other show and we'd immediately go "yeeeeah that's gotta be bullshit," but with this show you can't be sure.

But also lying about the show defangs legitimate criticism even more than people who's primary concern about the show is the race swaps.

She's not without talent having sole writing credits on some of the episodes of the Office's golden years. It's just when people use their art to get back at the people that bullied them at school they come across as very immature and inadvertently reveal why they were targeted in the first place. Thats why Warner Bros. Discovery needs to a anti bullying PSA to accompany this god-awful mess of a show. If you see a child being bulled speak up. Because when they grow up, they might end up being a talentless hack comedy writer who will then butcher a perfectly good cartoon with by creating a shitty adult version of said carton

The animation itself ti actually pretty decent but god it is a bad show.
Every character is relatable, and what is the point of using the gang? They dont even have a single character trait from their original counterparts.
Plus they obviously hate the people that are supposed to be watching it.

Zaslav killed Batgirl for "not living up to his standards", but this managed to air and may or may not already be approved for a Season 2.
The hell is in the water at Warner?

Actually Scrappy was a positive for the show at first and actually boosted slumping ratings. A lot of the Scrappy hate feels more built over time. I actually liked Scrappy Doo as a little kid. Didn't really start getting annoyed by him until I was older. As I have often told, I didn't get annoyed by him at all, until The Internet Told Me To (TM). There were certain Scrappy-related elements I didn't like, but they were ones that I could not necessarily blame on his character : 1) The 1980-82 format when Daphne, Fred, and Velma were gone and etc. etc. 2) Changing the voice from Lennie Weinrib to Don Messick (sorry It Was A Thing on TV, it wasn't Frank Welker). Not liking a character's new voice nor a new format doesn't always = the fault of a character.

"Biggest premiere day for a Max original animated series ever"?
That's like being the tallest Hobbit, or the best Nickelback song.

I'm glad that shit is fake, but yeah, it says something about how bad this show is where it's in its wheelhouse. Like Norville is already a whole bunch of racial stereotypes.

I watched an episode of this show just to see what all the hooplah is about, and it is definitely really, really bad.
Understanding that I'm towing a line with politics I feel like this show is a parody of what "the right" thinks the "woke left's" humor is. So people are invariably going to hate it, either because they perceive it as "woke," or, because it's like aggressively unfunny.
Bonus points for the fact that it's an egregious misuse of a lot of people's beloved childhood cartoon characters and it's the perfect storm for the amount of backlash it's gotten.

Maybe Mindy Kaling's goal was to create a show so universally unappealing that it brings everyone together.
