Alright, ready those tomatoes and warm up your pitching arm because I’ve got something to say Velma Season 2 which Max has is great. If people had some level of decorum and reasonable courtesy towards new things, the love for this adult-orientated spin off of the Scooby Doo franchise for the obsessive fan of the character with the brain would not be so terrible. Nevertheless, to my great surprise, we do not inhabit that universe.
Pretty much everyone outright hated the first season of Velma season 2, and quite rightfully so as well it turned out. Some critics found it over-performed, containing a lot of low blow humor, jokes that fall flat. (Not an unfair point of view, I said the same in my own review.)
Some apparently did not get the point, preferring to be willfully blind to the way the series deliberately turns what the viewers expect on its head. Part II The hilarious title to whip everyone with the clickbait is:, ‘Woke Hollywood Made Velma season 2 Non-White and Gay,’ which everyone with an X account and your emphysema-ridden grandpappy enjoyed purchasing.
Some did not stop at claiming it spitefully misogynist in its pursuit of miming liberalism to its viewers. And then there were the racists, who just disliked Velma season 2 because in this one, Velma Dinkley is Indian and represented by Mindy Kaling. This mommy would even gladly name her baby girl “Woke Velma,” if she had one.
To say the least, you hear some people making all sorts of remarks about beauty saying it is all in vain – that one’s beauty cannot be compared to another’s; that I have beautiful silky hair, nice nose, and beautiful blue eyes which shine like water pools reminding them that they are all wrong. Velma is great. It is zany and it is silly but it never comes across as cocky with its jokes.
In the Season Two premiere, things are different—there’s no Scooby, and the rest of the gang is still recovering from the fact that they just dealt with a serial killer at the end of the first season.
Just as in the cartoon, all four heroes – Velma (Kaling), Daphne (Constance Wu), Shaggy and Norville, and Fred (Glenn Howerton) collected all the evidence pointing at Fred’s mother, Victoria voiced by Cherry Jones! Victoria died in the last season’s finale, and Fred has been dealing with the death of his emotionally abusive mother by pivoting into detective work.
As a part of his “spooky stuff hunting” Fred becomes a Catholic because in the movies and television, such things are holy relics.
“Are you religious now?” Daphne questions Fred who is holding a squirt gun that contains holy water. “I thought religious guys only worshiped Ayn Rand and feet.”
(Again: Brilliant throwaway joke!) Fred explains to Daphne that he chose to join the church because the clients for the new ‘mystery solving’ business venture expect an element of ‘morality,’ ‘Religion is business,’ claimed Fred and business is delivering what people want and apparently people want dogs too. But Fred isn’t talking to Scooby-Doo, despite the fact that in the canon, he is Norville’s dog.
That way lies a life with Fred and two yapping Pomeranians who insist on being his shadows. It is a very dramatic sacrificial act but in some unsaid way it has, he said to Daphne. And how right he is: A talking dog with a speech impedate is the thing that has been making Scooby-Doo and all of its sequels, prequels, reboots and spin offs, churn out new episodes and movies for decades.
