Velma 10: the final Velma
-
CN: Velma episode 10 There's this bit here where Velma and Daphne are working together to figure shit out and it's like damn if only the rest of the show was like this maybe it wouldn't suck so bad. Just a thought
-
CN: Velma episode 10 man we were having a nice few minutes there where I was almost maybe tolerating this show and nope never mind it sucks I hate it
-
okay that's it that's the whole show. yaayyyyy... I think Velma wasn't that bad? I don't think that's the right choice of words. In some sense, I think it really was that bad. I mean, out of the 220 minutess of runtime there are 12 good ones, most from episode 10
-
I guess what I mean is more like, I'm not mad. I'm tired. I gambled that by spending more time watching the show to the end I could say something that hasan't been said amidst all the hot takes but here I am finished and I'm still not sure of that
-
The writing just doesn't work in ways that are so incredibly obvious I'm a little surprised why they weren't caught? I don't get adapting a property known for its very particular group dynamic and then writing four spiteful characters with absolutely zero chemistry
-
I don't get adopting what is arguably the most well-known mystery series on the face of the planet and then essentially not doing any mystery solving whatsoever for 9 and a half episodes, just to have the protagonist inexplicably shape up when the show remembers it's a prequel
-
I don't get race swapping a character known to be a stoner as black. Making jokes about how this black guy really should be a stoner. And then actually making him a stoner at the end anyway
-
I don't get building up a romance all season and then just shitting on it last second. But I think, most damning of all, I don't understand what Velma accomplishes by being the way it is. It strives so hard to be different and to reimagine the source material, but to no real end
-
somehow I gotta make watching this worth it. that's the hard part tbh. anyway, yeah that's it I don't think I have anything else to say. I mean the show was bad what a what a shocker. what a twist
