It was bad, but not much worse than a bunch of other shows where they “force” a point across for the sake of politics. Saw some of this in Rick and Morty too

The wackiness/cringe levels were honestly comparable to Gravity Falls.

I think people just hate it because 1) race swapped in a way that erases whites instead of POC and 2) they heard other people hate it so they just bandwagon

    but I gotta say I’m really fuckin’ sick of shows that are nothing but bathos and malice

    I could accept everything about that Velma show except that. The show seemed to have outright contempt for its own foundational material. I don’t mean skin colors. I mean “people in a van solving mysteries.”

      I just wanted them to uncover how rich white guys were behind 99% of financial fraud (and that one time George Takei was behind it in a Kabuki theater in a bayou…) and also to help out the ghosts of Native Americans by burning down some plantations or something (you know how every major movie had the “guess what this cryptid/monster is real!”).
