This is wrong. She didn't just "turn Velma wrong"

She also turned her into an asshole.

[-]

One of the snippets I saw was them opening a backpack with drugs in it, telling a child that sometimes drugs are okay to deal with issues. No idea if I could find that particular snip now but I was pretty stunned anyone would be so ridiculous as to actually put that into a cartoon.

[-]

Morbidity6660@reddit

that actually sounds like a funny joke

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

Granted, it's not supposed to be a kids cartoon. Definitely heavily adult oriented

[-]

stormcomponents@reddit

That may be so, but it's literally a spin-off from scooby which is one of the most classic childrens cartoons ever. Either way; luckily no one will watch it anyway.

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

Well yes and no. You wouldn't call Winnie the pooh blood and honey child friendly, but you would call it dogshit

[-]

stormcomponents@reddit

I don't think a slasher film is the same situation as a cartoon, personally.

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

Both are garbage spinoffs of children's media that, in an attempt to appeal to an adult audience, they completely botch any possible appeal

[-]

stormcomponents@reddit

Yes I agree, but what I'm saying is that it's unlikely a kid or parents sees a screener or poster for a slasher film and instantly think it's suitable for the kid to view, where as a cartoon spin-off of scooby? Could imagine quite a few sat to watch it expecting something different.

Either way though as I say - neither will really be watched I'm sure.

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

If your trying to go for the "think of the children" angle, if probably focus on how they constantly talk about the size of Fred's dick

[-]

Beneficial_Pear9705@reddit

is it really big or really small? or is it more about the girth?

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

Comically small, assumedly length wise, thankfully we don't have to actually see it

The joke is "haha, Fred big ego white man, but Fred small peanits 🤤". That's the entire extended of the bit, and they do it constantly

[-]

ichigoku@reddit

So it’s not the parents fault for not taking the extra 5 seconds to see the rating on it? But no it’s her fault for making it a cartoon so it must be suited for kids.

[-]

Maniactver@reddit

Cartoons are allowed to be adult too.

[-]

k4x1_@reddit

I feel like velma suits being Indian lowkey

[-]

Cauchemar89@reddit

My favorite part was when she twerked over the dead maimed, body of Fred's mom while being soaked in her blood.

[-]

EVENTHORIZON-XI@reddit

Haha, that will resonate with the target demographic for sure,

[-]

Marik-X-Bakura@reddit

Which is way more important and it’s weird to focus on her being a different skin colour

[-]

previously_on_earth@reddit

She is funny when it’s not just her, some of the funniest episodes on the office were written by her. But her own work with apparently little oversight suck balls. It’s not a unique thing, a lot of talent which has done good work in the past, when given a blank check and no leash often make garbage. Snyder comes to mind as well

[-]

Major-Associate-5359@reddit

Lucas Snyder M Night Nolan

[-]

B-52-M@reddit

Velma was indeed atrocious and arguably one of the worst cartoons of all time but Mindy Kaling wasn’t just some extra. She wrote a lot of The Office’s best episode and has produced some other successful shows

[-]

JoshAnMeisce@reddit

It's a cycle we've seen before and not just by women of some famous person doing a few great things, and then thinking everything they touch is great rather than the high effort they put into those other projects that make them great, and then making absolute slop

[-]

hexohorizon@reddit

What are men examples? I know about jessica gao who wrote the pickle rick episode, I know we meme on it but it got an emmy, and then create the she-hulk show

[-]

EdenBlade47@reddit

Aziz Ansari. Pretty good comedic actor, fucking horrible at stand-up.

Zach Braff. Garden State was good, his character on Scrubs was okay, everything else since then has been thoroughly unremarkable.

Greg Daniels and Steve Carrell both had tons of success before co-creating Space Force, which managed to be a massive flop despite a generous budget and a star-studded cast.

Nic Cage is maybe the quintessential example here. He's had some really strong showings, and then many which lead one to question his sanity.

[-]

Major-Associate-5359@reddit

I think Nic Cage is legally prohibited from refusing roles due to debt/divorce settlement. That's why he's been in so many bad movies.

[-]

LemonFlavoredMelon@reddit

What pisses me off is the Despicable Me movies kept pushing more and more onto those stupid yellow, talking tampons and less on Gru, because Steve Carrell is genuinely one of the funniest dudes and has a pretty decent rap sheet of some films including Dinner for Schmucks and Ron Burgundy.

[-]

TheBirthing@reddit

Neil Blomkamp directed District 9 and has delivered nothing but dogshit ever since.

[-]

Garden_Of_Nox@reddit

Hot take: Chappie was pretty good despite Die Antwoord doing their best to make it horrible. Hugh Jackman acted the shit out of his role.

[-]

FalseTautology@reddit

I'm with this guy. If you want a real bad movie from Blomkapt or whatever you have to see the one about the haunted pneumonia ward or whatever the fuck it was. Demonic? One of the worst horror movies I have ever seen.

[-]

Garden_Of_Nox@reddit

I had no idea he directed that

[-]

FalseTautology@reddit

I feel that claiming it was directed by anyone is a bit strong

[-]

wappledilly@reddit

Did Wikus dirty. Told him he would be back in 3 years, and it has been 15.

[-]

JoshAnMeisce@reddit

Damien Chazelle, director of whiplash and lalaland. They're not bad movies, but his most recent ones The Stunt Double (2020) and Babylon (2022) were a definite downgrade from his earlier works

[-]

howslifeinlondon@reddit

First Man pretty good too… i never even heard of The Stunt Double, might give it a go…

Babylon is a good example of high on own supply as with a half decent editor it would be great. but it it is very jerking off how cool he is for making movies. and then toby mcguire bit is unwatchable. soundtrack is killer.

[-]

CaseroRubical@reddit

Babylon is a great fucking movie

[-]

ambermage@reddit

I never watched 1 - 4.

Babylon 5 was the GOAT

[-]

greedy_mf@reddit

It’s a pile of “style over substance” hot garbage

[-]

FinestCrusader@reddit

The opening? Yes. Then it's all downhill for the next 2.5 hours

[-]

Marik-X-Bakura@reddit

Babylon was absolutely fantastic

[-]

GalaXion24@reddit

I think it's also important to realise that if someone has a really successful movie or something, then they did substantially better than their average with it, and statistically is quite probably that the next ones won't be as good.

[-]

FeilVei2@reddit

She-Hulk isn't bad at all, get over it. CGI is shit, but overall it's an enjoyable show.

[-]

hexohorizon@reddit

I didn’t watch it but it flopped. That is undeniable.

[-]

FeilVei2@reddit

So did both Blade Runner films, so your point is mute.

[-]

Nikoschalkis1@reddit

Why the fuck was this soyjak created?

[-]

hexohorizon@reddit

I mean, it’s just an edit of the coomer.

[-]

Hopesick_2231@reddit

Michael Cimino comes to mind. He directed The Deer Hunter, was showered with praise and adulation, and was basically handed a blank check to create his magnum opus: Heaven's Gate. A movie almost no one remembers except as a massive flop that lost United Artists a fuckton of money and led to them being acquired by MGM.

[-]

FalseTautology@reddit

Heavens gate is an incredibly interesting flop at least. There's a number rof amateur docs about it.

[-]

Bazzyboss@reddit

Ridley Scott seems to be so far up his own ass now that he just produces garbage and loves it, and this is after making some real great films.

[-]

InquisitorMeow@reddit

Artists in general need to learn when to fuck off. No one is perfect, if you don't have real passion/inspiration for whatever you're working on its time to stop.

[-]

Beneficial_Pear9705@reddit

even if you do have passion doesn’t mean you should continue. passion doesn’t equal good or necessary

[-]

FalseTautology@reddit

See for instance Zack Snyder

[-]

BadArtijoke@reddit

Yeah they should learn to turn down free lambo money that has literally no negative consequences for them, I mean the didactics are obvious here, society couldn’t be clearer that that’s not how you’re successful

[-]

Business_Trick9394@reddit

He produced Alien: Romulus which is a huge critical and commercial success

[-]

bitchtittees@reddit

He didn't write or direct tho

[-]

Business_Trick9394@reddit

The guy I responded to said he just produces garbage now tho.

His recent films are more hit and miss this fair enough. I liked The Martian, Prometheus, Covenant and The Last Duel but thought Napoleon and House of Gucci were tedious.

[-]

bitchtittees@reddit

I don't think he meant produces as in the role of a producer but more so the movie that he had an active hand in making.

You may have liked them but covenant was garbage and prometheus would've been great if ridley didn't cut out everything interesting from that movie

[-]

Business_Trick9394@reddit

Eh like I said I enjoyed them. For me his entire career has been hit or miss so now is no exception. But even his misses are just ok at worst and his hits are fantastic so I'm always willing to give him a try.

[-]

Neomataza@reddit

So in his 45 year career, he made another good movie. Good for him.

[-]

Business_Trick9394@reddit

Bruh the guy I responded to made it sound like he's a total washout now. His entire career has been hit or miss, kinda like Coppola. I at least appreciate that he swings big

[-]

Myusername468@reddit

M Night is a great example of this

[-]

AntDracula@reddit

Maybe it's an Indian thing.

[-]

BadArtijoke@reddit

Mediocrity is certainly not a regional phenomenon

[-]

Metaldrake@reddit

The thing about M Night, as I read the other day, is that he is incredibly good at making low budget movies (in the low tens of millions) that don’t flop. The movies might not be good, but in an era of post covid cinema flops and studios losing massive amounts of money, he’s doing well.

It’s super low risk, decent reward so he keeps pumping them out as long as studios are interested.

[-]

UglyInThMorning@reddit

M Night was a huge example of it in the 2000’s. Lady In the Water is like, peak “high on their own farts” writing.

[-]

Metaldrake@reddit

Funny enough that’s like, the only movie he’s made this century that flopped financially (made 72 million on a 70 million production budget).

Let’s not talk about ATLA, and pretend that doesn’t exist.

[-]

Koalachan@reddit

M knight was the lowest problem with ATLA. He gets all the blame but it was non-stop studio interface straight down to the casting. The white Katara? Some producer producer promised her a role in a movie and shoved her in there.

[-]

UglyInThMorning@reddit

What’s interesting is that ATLA and After Earth both made money (not a LOT but they did) but the studios realized the audience response was so toxic they didn’t continue the franchise.

I think you might be looking at this the wrong way. Making universally acclaimed, good media content is hard. Doing is consistently is nearly impossible unless you're one of the literal best of your generation. The fact that she has multiple hits already puts her in the top echelon of people in Hollywood.

Hell, even Mike Judge misses sometimes and I fucking love the dude.

[-]

JamieBeeeee@reddit

Has she made anything other than Velma that was bad? People are allowed to have some misses in their careers

[-]

Cauchemar89@reddit

tbh it's not Velma's badness that ticks people off, it's how absolutely meanspirited the show is.

Bloodsoaked Velma twerking over the maimed, dead body of Fred's mother can't be explained away through "it's just bad writing" - that's the writer being absolutely vile.

[-]

JamieBeeeee@reddit

Or it's a poor attempt at making adult comedy cartoons (which almost always suck anyway) targeted to an edgy far left audience (which is a super niche audience, but a real one none the less), no surprise it turned out garbo

You wouldn't call Dan Harmon vile because of fucked up shit in rick and morty, you just think Mindy Kaling is vile because her fucked up jokes weren't funny

[-]

kilg0re-t@reddit

Well, she was absolutely atrocious on It's Always Sunny. Literally the worst guest ever, just sucked the humour out of the room with how hard she tried

[-]

sbeven7@reddit

What? That episode was great. When it aired the cast were talking like Dennis was gone for good and that Mindy was replacing him. People were losing their fucking minds over it.

Then she played a straight man character for the episode until the reveal

[-]

wolphak@reddit

it felt like she was throwing a bag of puppies in a river every time she "joked"

[-]

JoshAnMeisce@reddit

From a glance nothing as bad, but it's her most recent project and her other stuff before seems to be getting more mediocre over time with some standouts here and there (but those standouts seem to have a lot of addictional names attached so who knows)

[-]

HumbleContribution58@reddit

Also like.... If anon's issue with Velma in that shit show was that she was brown and not that she was an unlikeable bitch I question his ability to analyze media.

[-]

WhiteAsTheNut@reddit

I think there’s still something to say about it. The character is a white character, why change it? I don’t see an episode of the boondocks and go “hmm we need one of these characters to be white for me to feel included!”. Why do we lazily change characters skin colors rather than making new and interesting characters if you want more diversity. I think there’s numerous bits of criticism that you can throw at the show.

[-]

HumbleContribution58@reddit

It's not like race has literally ever been relevant to her character, like she's never even been explicitly said to be white even if she's traditionally been portrayed with lighter skin her eye and hair color make Hispanic or Asian equally possible because again it's never been important enough to come up. And it's not like it's even a retcon as it is the tradition of the franchise to start a new continuity with each new show with some redesigns being par for the course. Plus giving any attention at all to it just distracts from the multitudes of real issues with that version of the character and the show in general.

[-]

Lopunnymane@reddit

The Office was shit, so Velma is just another shit in the timeline of shit.

Yeah everyone who sat in that little separate office was a writer or director, that’s why they’re in a separate area.

[-]

SuicidalTurnip@reddit

From what I can tell she wasn't even that involved in Velma outside of being a VA. She was an executive producer (which in and of itself is often a pretty meaningless title), but I can't see any writing or directing credits anywhere.

[-]

whitetip23@reddit

Fair enough.

It's still a complete bag of shit, however.

[-]

Bags of shit are still useful as fertilizer. Velma, on the other hand, not so much.

[-]

LemonFlavoredMelon@reddit

I thought Executive Producers were the one's who basically yeeted money at people to get the project done.

SuicidalTurnip@reddit

Sometimes, but not always.

It's very common for actors to get Executive Producer credits as a part of their "compensation" for a project.

People cannot comprehend that someone would be a good writer but not a good performer

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

Wdym by this?

I think all 3 of those people play their character fine, it's just a time saving thing

[-]

geofox777@reddit

I mean that because Mindy Kaling wasn’t the “Pam” of the office people assume she didn’t do much even though she might’ve written some of their favorite bits

I guess I was extrapolating to some “musicians” that don’t write a lot of their songs but have a lot of hits. Like writing and performering are two separate skills and some people think that performers do it all.

Idk if that makes sense I’m a little crossfaded sorry

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

Oh yeah I sort of get what you mean.

Not that was a bad actor per se, but that she was more of a side character so people can often underestimate their contributions to the show

[-]

EngineeringOne1812@reddit

That’s actually very interesting, the writers wouldn’t have to on camera all the time as most of the show took place in the other room of the office

[-]

Honest-Birthday1306@reddit

that's right. a lot of the behind the scenes stuff on that show is really interesting

[-]

GrOnIuS@reddit

That....that's the point of her character

[-]

FMC_Speed@reddit

To be so Insufferable that I almost skip her scenes? That’s not a good screenplay

[-]

Neweis@reddit

some characters are meant to be insufferable, yes, like Micheal

[-]

FMC_Speed@reddit

He is not insufferable to the viewers though, he kinds of drives the whole episode

if you skipped her scenes what’d you do during scott’s tots? chew broken glass while giving yourself a bleach enema?

She was a writer on the office

EternityLeave@reddit

wrote a handful of The Office’s best episodes

The Sex Lives of College Girls (underrated, pretty funny show)

Never Have I Ever (I don’t like it but not terrible, not hated, huge fanbase and 93% on RT)

Mindy Project (hated by men but loved by women which is fine cuz that’s who it’s written for)

Champions was bad but on the same level as every other cheap sitcom of that era (The Ranch, Kevin Can Wait, Disjointed, Workin Moms, Breeders, Great News, Young Sheldon, etc. all basically the same level)

Finally Velma: unfairly attacked by racists and trolls pretending to care about Scooby Doo purity. Yes, it was bad. Very bad. But it was a media sensation, memed to death instead of just ignored. It’s gone down as the worst show ever made but it’s actually on par or slightly better than many adult animated garbage shows. Brickleberry, Paradise PD, Hoops, Fugget About it, Chicago Part Aunt, Crash Canyon, Momma Named Me Sherrif, Mulligan, Bless the Hearts, Royal Crackers, Goode Family, Strange Planet… even Digman yet Andy Samberg is still generally loved. Why is Mindy hated so much more than any of those terrible show creators? Because woman. Brown woman even.

[-]

Salaino0606@reddit

Who is she in The office?

[-]

shockingblve@reddit

well that's not true, she also turned Velma mean, something she never was in the original series

[-]

Tommy_____Vercetti@reddit

strong woman = mean in the context of the "message"

[-]

OldManMoment@reddit

"unlikeable cunt" is a big part of the """girlboss""" formula, for some unfathomable reason.

[-]

DJDemyan@reddit

That’s a thing that drives me nuts. The best leaders do it through compassion , not just being a dick

[-]

InquisitorMeow@reddit

To be fair writers haven't been able to write good male characters apart either. They're all just generic no nonsense stoic action badass dude with no depth.

[-]

AntDracula@reddit

Because the girlboss trope simultaneously: complains about toxic masculinity while also forcing women to have those same traits.

[-]

gary-cuckoldman@reddit

I’m so tired of this trope . Wish they’d just take inspiration from Ellen Ripley: smart, compassionate, and instantly likable but also extremely brave and hard to kill

[-]

Marik-X-Bakura@reddit

Always Ripley lmao, watch more movies

If Ripley came out to today, she would be absolutely torn to shreds for pushing “woke propaganda”. Especially if she ever dared to mention the fact that she was a woman.

splashtext@reddit

I like how people here are more mad about a velma being writen as a mean girl then they are about mindi kackling sexually assaulting a set hand or someone on the offeice and told him basically "tell anyone and you're fired lol jk but for reals haha"

I don't know either. A minute ago I didn't even knew about this person's existence

[-]

ExtremeAlternative0@reddit

Mindy Kaling, don't let the post fool you. She was also part of the writing team for the office and wrote some of its best episodes as well as having a minor role in the show.

She went on to create and write the Velma show which is considered one of the worst cartoons in recent memory. Which is why people are hating on her.

[-]

MAS7@reddit

I wouldn't call her role 'minor' she had a bigger arc than most characters.

[-]

stormcomponents@reddit

Unfortunately.

[-]

MAS7@reddit

It wasn't unfortunate, it's by design.

She wasn't supposed to be likeable, neither was Ryan.

I'm not going to try and explain comedy to you, so:

If you wanna be mad at anyone, be mad at BJ Novak(RYAN) for writing stuff you don't like.

[-]

stormcomponents@reddit

Typical reddit response. I never said I didn't understand her role, nor that I don't get the comedy. I didn't say I was mad at her either.

I'd say to reel your neck in but I can see from your comment history you come on here just to be argumentative.

[-]

SuicidalTurnip@reddit

She went on to create and write the Velma show

She's not actually credited as a writer anywhere for the show. Not sure if that's because she knew it was fucking atrocious and scrubbed her involvement outside of being a VA or if she genuinely had no involvement in the writing.

She wrote and had a major part in The Office and most fans of the series refuse to let go of the very brief and not very memorable cultural impact the show has.

GargamelLeNoir@reddit

Come on that's bullshit, she did a lot of good writing on The Office. But her talent definitely took a nosedive since then. Velma should never have made it passed the pitching phase.

[-]

EldritchCrepe@reddit

Ok but she was a co-writer on the office

“Glorified extra on the office,” get the fuck outta here with that. She was a writer and exec producer and wrote some classic episodes. Yeah Velma sucked but not because Velma was “brown.” Jesus

Explorer_the_No-life@reddit

People actually watch garbage shows like Velma? Lol, I only hear about them when I watch funny analysies, which tear them down.

[-]

WannabePokerPlayer@reddit

She wrote 24/201, so almost 1/8 of the show but at a certain point shows like that are just on autopilot. What should we do next? “Ahh fuck, just have Michael fall into a Koi pond or some shit, I don’t know”

[-]

dankspankwanker@reddit

She fits under the same umbrella as mark Wahlberg. 0 Talent but a rich family

[-]

rukimiriki@reddit

Well, she did write some of the universally loved episodes of The Office US, so idk if no talent would be smth I'd describe her. Maybe just someone who doesn't know her limits

[-]

dankspankwanker@reddit

Writing and acting are 2 different pair of shoes tho

[-]

rukimiriki@reddit

Okay?? And where did i say they aren't. All you said is she's talentless, considering she wrote a lot of the universally beloved episodes in The Office I'd say that requires at least a smidge of talent

[-]

Dangerjayne@reddit

I think some executive just reallllly fucking hates the scooby doo IP and would like to see it gone forever. This is the best way of doing that

[-]

AStupidFuckingHorse@reddit

She wrote some of the best episodes of the office.

Also, she did not write Velma. Her name is not on those credits outside of voicing and executive producing.

[-]

monkeman28@reddit

SHE WAS THE ONE WHO TURNED VELMA BROWN????

[-]

MotivationalMike@reddit

NBC likes to promote from within. No one else on the office was taking their deals.

Gotta think about it. Corral, Helms, Krazinski, and Novak all moved on the bigger projects. They prolly all got the offer first.

Turning Velma brown was not the problem with that show…

I haven't seen any of her work post Office, but I read something about her original plan for the cartoon wasn't well received, so she repackaged it as a Scooby Doo reboot to garner interest in the project.
