[poweroffriendship.]

Velma, in her own show, is very unlikable that she made Scrappy Doo of all people looking like a saint.

[jking]

Velma is so insistent on showing the bad and mean side of life, that it forgets that not everyone is a jerk or a terrible person like everyone in the show is portrayed to be.

[alexv]

I think we can all agree that with Mindy's Velma now being an established thing, we owe Scrappy Doo the world's *biggest* apology.

[CGrascal]

I once described "Velma" as "Let's take everything that makes Harley Quinn work and do the complete opposite.".

[obnoxiouslegofan]

I find it pretty amusing how Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated, a show for kids, is more mature than Velma, a show for adults.

[thormalakowsky]

The thing that bothers me the most about shows where they turn the characters into kids is that it's almost always already been established in the main show that they didn't all know each other when they were kids.

[ProfNekko]

I think "tone deaf" is an understatement of the year for Santa Inc and it is flat out oblivious to the point. Santa even pointed out to Candy that she couldn't be the next Santa because she has made it abundantly clear she hates Christmas and she hates children, which the fundamentals of the job kinda require you to have a fondness for both. She takes this advice and completely dismisses it to whine about how it's about sexism that's blocking her and not the obvious fact she doesn't have any traits that would be needed to do the job properly.

[CGFillertext]

One of the biggest problems with Santa Inc is that there’s already a much better alternative in Arthur Christmas. Arthur Christmas does the idea of “unlikely character proves they can become the next Santa” much better than Santa Inc, and does it in a way that’s not incredibly mean-spirited, gross, and/or vulgar. It also has a character realize that maybe they’re not cut out to be Santa, and that’s ok, they can still help bring joy to the world in their own special way- which I feel like is the lesson Santa Inc’s main character needed to learn, but sadly the show just continued to double down on its shallow edginess.

[joshuamerriweather]

Grey Delisle the voice actress for Daphne ABSOLUTELY hates the show Velma. You know you screwed up when the actors/actresses hate it

[knightatyourservice]

Someone said something interesting about the Total Drama show when Total Dramarama came out:

The original show had both stereotypical character and ANTI-stereotypes. For example, Gwen was a goth girl who was actually pretty sociable. Total Dramarama has only stereotypes.

[wallywallace]

I hate the "it's for kids, it doesn't need to be intelligent" excuse for bad writing and whatever in cartoons, because I think kids deserve more respect than that.

[inaciosthirdstudio]

I can agree that _Velma_ is so offensive to the point where even the Censored 11 would tell _Velma_ to calm down.

[SawyerIque]

It actually would be interesting if Plankton had his own show, seeing his attempts and misadventures in trying to get the secret formula.

[Zykth]

To my knowledge, Kamp Koral has been confirmed to be non-canon, mostly due to Sandy Cheeks being present. In SpongeBob series proper, she had just moved to Bikini Bottom, and in fact underwater at all, in Season 1.
Also, it's implied that Patrick's "parents" in the Patrick Show are paid actors, not his biological parents, due to his biological parents being established in that one episode "I'm With Stupid" and being returning characters in at least one other episode.

[animeandanimals]

The biggest insult from Thundercats Roar is how many people wanted more Thundercats 2011 and we got that instead.

[streakaireoso]

That’s actually kind of surprising, a lot of the worst shows for kids seems to forget that everyone can be a little mean but it doesn’t make us mean people, while some of the worst shows aimed at teens and adults forget that people can be nice without being gullible or dumb, and the best shows on both ends have far more complex characters with both good and bad socializing skills.

[bhriannphilip]

The voice actress behind Velma is getting hate by the public in general because she always comments about hating herself being Indian to play it off as some sort of “joke” and influence others to hate their own ethnicity as well. This hasn’t happened only in Velma, but every show she appears that features an Indian girl.

[Ranmus]

Mindy is not completely blameless. She was Executive Producer, which means she had to review and sign off on anything related to the show. The fact that we Got Velma was either her shirking off her responsibilities as an Exec. Producer or she looked at the trainwreck and said this is gold, which says a lot about her.

Probably doesn't help that most people in these positions have yes people all the time.

[MisterVercetti]

*Fairview Creators:* We designed the characters with no legs because we wanted them to resemble Matryoshka dolls.
*The Truth:* We designed the characters with no legs because we're lazy and didn't want to animate them walking.

[Gman]

To be fair to Velma the scene where she gets hit by a car made me laugh hard.
