Velma: This Halloween Needs To Be More Special! SPOILER FILLED Special Review

For some strange reason Warner Bros really does think that we all like this Velma show this is despite all of the negative reviews for the show out there. Well now we have yet another new installment from the show that nobody asked for and that very few people actually like this time in the form of a Halloween special and s then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the special that actually is pretty watchable for the most part with the special in question being called simply just "Velma: This Halloween Needs To Be More Special!" enjoy.

The plot of this special is just a few weeks after she died at the end of the second season Velma's friends have finally found the right spell to bring her back to life but on Halloween a new mystery arises when someone starts killing off people dressed in sexy costumes. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that ad but at the same time the plot of this special isn't all that good either as there's nothing about this plot that really requires it to the plot of a special episode of the show as the plot follows the typical formular set up of the show with nothing new about it to make it feel unique and make it stand out from all of the other episodes but with that being said the plot of this special is also a lot better then the typical season of the show and all of that is due to the fact that it does go back the typical Scooby-Doo formular of just having teens solving a mystery and that's that and while yes the plot of this really could have been alot better then what it was it's also the kind of plot that we really should expect from this show as well with the plot of this special also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is this specials executive producer Mindy Kaling as Velma Dinkley and Glenn Howerton as Fred Jones. Also starring in this special is Sam Richardson as Norville Rogers , Constance Wu as Daphne Blake , Sarayu Blue as Diya Dinkley , Nicholas Braun as Geoff Wickles / The Black Knight , Nicole Byer as Blythe Rogers , Gary Cole as Lamont Rogers , Fortune Feimster as Olive , Jennifer Hale as Thorn , Richard Kind as Himself , Jane Lynch as Donna Blake , voice acting and Scooby-Doo legend Frank Welker as William Jones , Russell Peters as Aman Dinkley , Sara Ramirez as Amber , Saweetie as Herself , Debby Ryan as Krista and Wanda Sykes as Linda Blake.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. Which is something that does make sense as this special actors have been playing there respective characters for time at this point in time and would there for no how best to portray there respective characters but at the same time given who is starring in tis special this specials really acting really could have been alot better as we know from other projects that this special actors really can deliver some truly really great performances and yet when it comes to this special for one reason or another they really can't with the same thing also being true for voice acting legend Frank Welker who really is at best just OK and nothing more then that when it comes to this special with the acting that's in this very special not really being helped by the fact that the script for this special is just so bad as it gives none of this specials actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does help to lower the overall quality of the acting that's in this very special.

Doing the animation for this special is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Studio IAM. Now then interms of what I personally thought /felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well the in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time this specials animation wasn't all that good either as while it's on par with the animation from the show the animation in the show isn't all that good and as a result of that is the fact that being compared to the show well never be in this specials favor as the shows animation is really bad and that is something that is still true with this special as everything just looks bland from the backgrounds to the unappealing character designs and even the face that they give Saweetie a really distractingly shiny dress which just takes you out of the special as it's there when it technically wouldn't be given what time of day this special takes place in with the characters themselves not even having fluid movements with the characters movements being really stiff and stilted which all of which combine to make the animation look cheap this is despite the fact that the animation does at times look really good.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

As a mystery special this special isn't all that good as the mystery itself isn't all that good as the special doesn't give any clues as to who the killer really is. Since while the special does have a red herring in The Black Knight they reveal that the killer is actually an old lady who appeared in one scene at the start of the episode and that's it which granted is something that older Scooby-Doo shows also did but those shows also gave us the audience enough clues so that we can work it out for ourselfs and yet this is something that this special doesn't do as it doesn't give us any clues whatsoever and as a result of that is the fact that when it is revealed who the actual killer is not only does it come out of nowhere it also leaves you scratching your head trying to remember who this character is as when we first meet the character they barely have any lines of dialog outside of sobbing for the fact that the5re lover has just been killed and that's really it and heck even there motivation for wanting to kill people just so people can be scared of this one book that's never been mentioned before now really doesn't work either as a book that can apparently bring back the dead never got mentioned before now and yet that to also doesn't work when you take the previous two seasons worth of episodes into account either which is a good example of just how bad this shows writing really is.

To give this episode some credit the idea of having the friends having to face there fears to help bring Velma back from the dead is a good idea. The issue is tho is that Velma has been a terrible to all three of them and so the friends really have no reason to want to bring her back outside of the fact tat the plot demands that they do it and that's really it and while the third act scene where they all face there greatest fears at once is a good scene but again due to hoe badly Velma  has treated all three not only during this show as whole but also during this special it really does make you wonder they would even want to bring her back as she is just that unlikable as a character even now two seasons into her own show and it's something that the makers of this special have not only refused to talk about in interviews but also refused to fix during the show itself and while that does make sense for the shows second season as that was mostly likely made when the show was first ordered here while this special still would have been made when the show got its initial order there still would have been enough time between the first seasons and this special to at least try to make a small attempt to make her more likable even if it's just re-editing scenes to make her come across as being more likable and yet they don't do that and so she still comes off as being unlikable and her friends still come across as being dumb for wanting to bring her back from the dead.

In a rather bold move this special does actually all but confirm that we're getting a third season of this show by revealing at the end of the special that Fred has now been turned into a zombie as a way to bring Velma back to life. Why the makers of this show chose to do this as it's clear as day from not only alot of the reviews both online and not that people don't like this show and don't want this show to be a thing and yet there still trying to make it be a thing and yet the very idea of them turning this version of Fred into a zombie is at least a somewhat good idea as they are at least trying to do something with this character as for the past few seasons of this show the character has pretty much been nothing more then the comic relief character and while that is still true for this special here they at east make his ignorance to how things work in the real world apart of the main plot of the special and apart of Fred facing his biggest fear of getting a real job but he gets the golden treatment when compared to Norville who's biggest fear comes to him not wanting to hurt anyone close to him and they have that payed off not in some epic way that works for this version of the character but they have it be a joke where he hurts the feeling of the killer which is a disservice to the character while Fred at least gets something to do in this special the same thing cannot be said for Norville who just straight up disappears from the special for a long period of time.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly thirty seven minuets and fourteen seconds. Which is a solid running time for this special to have as the special really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time but at the same time tho this specials running time is pretty close to that of an average episode of the show which makes this special feel alot less special as all it does is make this special feel like your watching an extended episode of the episode when they really could have done something all the more epic and make something that is worthy of being called a special and yet they don't take full advantage of that idea and heck the special doesn't even take full advantage of its running time either as it doesn't take the time to delve into it's characters both ones that are carried over from the show and the ones that are introduced in this special which makes all of this specials characters feel like one dimensional characters when they really could have taken advantage of this specials mor longer running time to really delve into their characters ad give us the audience a reason to want to seem them succeed and yet they don't do that and as a result of that is the fat that us the audience have no reason to care for these characters and want to see them succeed outside of the fact that the plot demands it and that's really it but I really will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really bad. Which is in line with the show as the shows comedy isn't all that good either but where as the show has the excuse of there being more episodes and so just because there are bad jokes in one episode doesn't mean that the joke in the other episodes will be bad here tho they don't have that excuse with all of this specials jokes being painfully unfunny as there's not even a slightly funny joke to be found in this episode with the worst offender in this episode being the fact that it's revealed that one of the people who works for Fred's family has been throwing out Velma's dead body thinking that's rubbish which is just so ridiculous as anyone can see that the two look nothing alike and heck even if the makers of the special wanted to make a joke like that then they should have gone the extra mile and make Velma's body start to decay just a little bit which given this shows more mature rating is something that they very easily could have done and yet they don't which just makes the joke painfully unfunny and all of the specials jokes are exactly like that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall while this special is indeed a huge step up interms of quality from the show that's not really a high bar to reach as the show is just that bad but at the same time tho this special is still a really bad special as it still has all of the thigs that make the show bad only alot of it is really toned down but with that said tho this special is still slightly more watchable then what the actual show is tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thins that are in this very special in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in his very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen  I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Velma fandom wiki page , the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page , the official Family Guy fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very special that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very special with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Velma TV Series "The Mystery Of Teen Romance" , "The Real Villain" AND "Til Death" SPOILER FILLED Review

Last year there was a show that was bad that people actually watched it just to see how bad it was ad well now the entire second season has been released. It doesn't really need saying just what that show as it's right there in the title of this post but yeah for some strange reason despite the show getting tons of negative review from both fans and critics alike HBO Max still decided to release the entire second season only now instead of releasing two a week like they did with season one they now instead chose to drop all ten episodes of the shows second season and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the episodes that hopefully see this dreadful incarnation come to and end with the episodes in question being called simply just "The Mystery Of Teen Romance" , "The Real Villain" and "Til Death" enjoy.

The plot of The Mystery Of Teen Romance is just three weeks after finding out that Fred's mother was the one committing all of the crimes in the first season Velma finds out that now all of the boys are being killed of and sets of to solve yet another mystery where as the plot of The Real Villain is Velma finds some help from a new alley in solving this new mystery and the plot of the Til Death is Velma and the gang go to extreme circumstances to solve this mystery once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show really was alot better then the plot of the first season but was still a really weak plot with the plot of this show season being dropped in episodes in favor of more lighthearted plots when they should be focusing on the main plot which really is understandable for episode one but they still do it in episodes nine and ten of the show as well which just doesn't work at all with the plot of this season being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episodes are this shows executive producer Mindy Kaling as Velma Dinkley and Glenn Howerton as Fred Jones. Also starring in these episodes are Sam Richardson as Norville "Shaggy" Rogers , Constance Wu as Daphne Blake , Russell Peters as Aman Dinkley , Melissa Fumero as Sophie , Sarayu Blue as Diya Dinkley , Jane Lynch as Donna Blake , Wanda Sykes as Linda Blake , Nicole Byer as Blythe Rogers , Gary Cole as Lamont Rogers , Cherry Jones as Victoria Jones and Frank Welker as William Jones.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that;s actually featured / presented to us in these episodes well then in all honesty i in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad. As while yes the acting in these episodes is mostly pretty bad it's the acting from the cast members that we all know can deliver a good performance that really does save this season of the show acting wise as they really do deliver some really good performances in these episodes at least in the three episodes that this review is being based of off but with that said the acting in this show really is still painfully bad with the acting in this show not really being helped by the fact that the scripts for these episodes are just so bad that they give none of the cast alot to work with inters of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which really does bring down the overall quality of the acting in these episodes.

Doing the animation for these episodes is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio IAM. Now the interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time it wasn't all that good as the animation is still just as ugly looking as it was in the first season only now the characters have slightly smoother and more fluid movements to them but that's really it and it's not enough as the designs are very off putting as they look nothing like the original characters with the backgrounds just looking very flat and boring and while the movements are a huge improvement from the last batch of episodes that doesn't stop the overall quality of animation looking really bad.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!

For some strange reason this show decided to introduce The Hex Girls who in the world of this show were an all girl rock band. With Thorn now deciding to open an occult book store with there being no mention of the other girls in the first episode nor in the ninth or tenth episodes of the show and as a result of that is the fact that it's hard to say what happened to the other girls but given that Thorn looks to be in forties it's safe to say that the band broke up for some strange reason which begs the reason why the show decided to introduce one of the three band members when they very easily could have included all three members and not have them change the fact that Thorn is opening an occult book shop heck they even could have kept Thorn's daughter Amber but given how badly they made Thorn look in the first episode of this show maybe it;s for the best that the other two girls weren't included in this show.

As for the actual mystery element of this show just based of off the three episodes that this review is being based of off. The mystery wasn't all that well handled as there are alot of things that are explained in a way that makes us the audience feel dumb for not picking up on them like the fact that they have Daphne and Velma get into an argument in episode nine only to reveal that was part of there plan to capture one of the main villains which doesn't make sense given what they showed us in the episode and alot of the mystery is done in a very similar manner with there being alot of leaps in logic instead of being things that happen naturally which is something that the original series did masterfully and yet for some strange it;s something that this show fails to do when given that it's apart f the Scooby-Doo franchise it's something that should be done as even in alot of the bad Scooby-Doo shows how they got to got to those big reveals at least somewhat made sense.

Even tho the makers of this show said back in season one that they couldn't include Scooby-Doo because why would you want to do a Scooby-Doo show without Scooby-Doo. There was one classic dog that they apparently got the OK to use and that's Scrappy-Doo who does make his debut in this season and just like the 2002 live action movie he's one of the villains with the other main villain being Sophie which again makes no sense given what we know about her character and while it's great that Scrappy is getting at least some love all you have to do is just like as his design in his debut appearance in the shows ninth episode and you know that he's the bad guy because he just looks like a bad guy and even how he acts which could be seen as a parody of the original shows version of the character with even his backstory being a parody of how the character was created it's still not enough to fool us the audience into thinking that he's not the bad guy as alot of the time he acts like a villain and not like someone that's trying to fool our main characters into thinking that he's not the main villain of this season.

Now the all pf these episode has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then twenty six minuets. With episode one having a grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and forty seconds and episode nine has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty four minuets and six seconds and episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and thirty seven seconds with it being episode one that has the better running time out of all three episodes as that's the episode that really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time as both episodes nine and ten shove the main plotline to the side for alot of the episodes in favor of doing a more lighthearted plotline and yet episode one dedicates almost it's entire running time to the mystery and when episodes nine and ten do that they work and flow together really well as well but I will admit that these episodes really do have some really good pacing to all of them tho.

So now then as this is a comedy show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really bad. As the show doesn't have any funny moments in these three episodes barring one moment in episode one where Velma is texting Shaggy this long message only to delete it and re-write it with the message then saying just to ring her now which really was the only joke that was decently funny with the rest of the jokes in these three episodes really falling flat which seems to be a very common trend with this show as really everything about this show from it's plot to it's acting to it's animation to it's comedy ad yes even it's mystery just falls really flat with very little of the comedy in these three episodes working and even fewer really managing to get a smile out of anyone who watches this show as the comedy in these episode really just that bad and really isn't all that funny at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall while these three episodes are better then alot of the episodes in the first season it's not enough to save this show which just every degree is bad and needs to be cancelled so that it can be replaced with something from Scooby-Doo that's actually good but only time well tell if this show will be cancelled which really does need to be the case in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very review and as such all three of these very episodes earn themselves a grand old combined score of a 2.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girl;s and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review form IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Velma TV Series Review

 

Scooby-Doo fans the day that we have all waited for is now finally upon us as the TV series that has taken the internet by storm for all of the wrong reasons has finally finished airing. I want to it known that i've watched every single episode of this terrible show just so that I could bring you all this review and so then join me as I review the show that alot of people agree is really bad with the show in question being called simply just "Velma" enjoy.

The plot of this show is two years after her mother disappears Velma tries to find her and solve the mystery of who is killing teenagers. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad however the shows plot was very badly written and very badly paced out tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is this's shows executive producer Mindy Kaling as Velma Dinkley and Constance Wu as Daphne Blake. Also starring in this show is Sam Richardson as Norville Rogers , Glenn Howerton as Fred Jones , Russell Peters as Aman Dinkley , Sarayu Blue as Diya Dinkley , Melissa Fumero as Sophie , Jane Lynch as Donna Blake , Wanda Sykes as Linda Blake , Gary Cole as Lamont Rogers , Nicole Byer as Blythe Rogers , Scooby-Doo and voice acting legend Frank Welker as William Jones , Cherry Jones as Victoria Jones , Stephen Root as Sheriff Cogburn , "Weird Al" Yankovic as Dandruff Tuba , Fortune Feimster as Olive , Yvonne Orji as Gigi , Shay Mitchell as Brenda , Debby Ryan as Krista McRae , Ken Leung as Darren and Ming-Na Wen as Carroll.

Noe then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. Since this shows cast is quite clearly trying to turn in a good performance but the issue is that this shows scripts are so bad that they give none of the actors nothing to work with interms of what their characters personalities are.

Doing the animation for this show is a little known stupid that is currently known as Studio IAM who really haven't worked on anything at all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty for the most part really bad however when we get to Velma's hallucinations the animation gets really good.

Velma in this show is just really unlikable with her being somebody who only cares about herself and how to archive her own goals. Which really doesn't help the character at all since it makes her unwatchable because lets be honest who would even want to watch a show where the main character is really unlikable and what makes this even worse is the fact that she doesn't change or even grow over this shows ten episodes either since she's still a really unlikable character by the end of the shows final episode.

I'm going to keep this review spoiler free but we do get to find out who the main killer is and let's just say the reveal is pretty bad. Since it comes out of nowhere and the reason as to why this person is the killer makes no sense as it's something that wasn't even hinted at it all which is something that a good mystery should do and when this show does focus on the mystery since for some strange reason they have episodes that don't focus on the mystery they very rarely if ever give you a clue as to who the actual killer even is. 

This show does every single member of the Mystery Inc gang dirty since Daphne is made out the stereotypical pretty girl and nothing more then that , Fred is made out to be the stereotypical rich kid and nothing more then that and Shaggy isn't even Shaggy. It really does astound me as to how they manage to get every single Mystery Inc member wrong even more so when you take into account that this is a Scooby-Doo show that doesn't have Scooby-Doo himself actually in this show at all all of which leads me to wonder who is show even for since it didn't please Scooby-Doo fans and it didn't please none Scooby-Doo fans.

Now then this show has / had ten episodes all of which where around exactly twenty four to twenty eight minuets. With this episode count being great for this show since it means that we don't have to watch that many episodes of this show however I would have liked if this show had shorter running times since that would have forced this show to focus alot more on it's actual plot and not give us pointless episodes that add nothing to the overall plot of the show but as it is we get a ton of filler that just isn't needed.

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that good. Since while this show does indeed have some slightly funny moments those moments are very quickly followed up by alot more bad jokes all of which are really and painfully unfunny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall any hate that this show has gotten is well and truly deserved because it's that bad of show so don't make my mistake and watch every single episode of this show because there's nothing to gain from this show at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this very show earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Daphne & Velma Film Review

Scooby-Doo fans I think that it's fair to say that we've been having it a bit rough lately with the release of Velma being so bad that it's actually gotten a lower score then Dragonball Evolution on IMDB. However there is one good thing to come out of that show and that's the fact that it's made the film tat i'm about to review for you all today look good by comparison and so then join me as I review the film that is to my knowledge at least the first Scooby-Doo product not to feature Scooby-Doo actually in it with the film in question being called simply just "Daphne & Velma" enjoy.

The plot of the film is new girl Daphne befriends loner Velma and the two have to solve a mystery of why a bunch of their schools smartest kids or disappearing all before it;s far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty decent at best but at the same time this films plot also felt pretty generic and bland as well as being rather uninspired in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Sarah Jeffery as Daphne Blake , Sarah Gilman as Velma Dinkley and Vanessa Marano as Carol. Also starring in this film is Brian Stepanek as Nedley Blake , Nadine Ellis as Elizabeth Blake , Arden Myrin as Principal Piper , Brooks Forester as Tobias Bloom , Lucius Baston as Mr. Nussbaum , Courtney Dietz as Mikayla , Stephen Ruffin as Nathan , Fray Forde as Ryder , Evan Castelloe as Griffin Griffiths , Daniel Salyers as Mike , Adam Faison as Spencer , Jessica Goei as Olivia , Mickie Pollock as Two-Mop Maggie and Tucker Halbrooks as A Skater Guy.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that thew actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast quite clearly trying there best to make this films script work but the issue is that this films script gives the cast absolutely nothing to work with and as such they can't really deliver great performances. 

Doing the CGI for this film is a small studio called Entropy Studio who have worked on the show Cable Girls. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad even for a direct to DVD film since this films CGI just looks creepy at best and terrible at it's downright worst.

This film dares to do the impossible and thats make a Scooby-Doo without actually having Scooby-Doo himself appear in the film. Which is weird because it more then meets Warner Bros. Pictures mandate for including the character in that it's a family friendly film that won't hurt the Scooby-Doo brand name and so then there's really no reason as to why Scooby-Doo himself couldn't even be in this film altho given just how bad this films CGI even is maybe its for the best that he didn't appear in this film since he'd just come of looking terrible.

This film does something that the Velma TV series doesn't do and that's keep the characters as we originally know them to be. Since the Velma and Daphne in this film are both alot closer to their original cartoon counterparts then they are any other versions of the characters and that is something that just isn't the case for the new Velma TV show where both characters are so radically different from their original cartoon counterparts that they might as well as be two completely and newly created characters because they act nothing like the Daphne and Velma that we know and like for the original cartoon shows and that is something that just isn't the case for this film. 

This films mystery really isn't that much of a mystery since the film gives you no clues as to who to this films main villain actually is. Which for a mystery film is something that you really need to do even more so for a Scooby-Doo film since the Scooby-Doo brand was built upon teaching kids the art of deduction but even so you still need to give us clues so that we at least have something to go of off and when you don;t do that it just makes it look like that your just making it up as you go along which makes everything else just seem lazy and rather unimportant.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running tome of exactly one hour and fifteen minuets and twelve seconds. Which even for a direct to DVD Scooby-Doo movie is a bit on the short side since this film has so much to set up as well tell a great or in this case even passable mystery and tell a good story and it just can't do that and as a result some things do fall through the cracks like the mystery not being that good and as such I really do think that film should have at the very least have been one hour and thirty minuets long.

So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have t actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not bad. Since while this film does have an awful lot of bad jokes in it this film does also have quite few decent funny moments within it as well which does help to make make this film at the very a least somewhat a really entertaining piece of Scooby-Doo media in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall with Velma now showing the Scooby-Doo what a truly bad piece of Scooby-Doo media looks like I think that alot of the die hard Scooby-Doo fanbase will be more then willing to take another look at this film but with that being said this is still a pretty bad Scooby-Doo film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 4.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The Velma TV Series

 

Scooby-Doo fans the Scooby-Doo franchise has been around since the sixties having spawned dozens of TV shows ad movies. Well we have yet another new TV show featuring the mystery loving gang only this time without Scooby-Doo himself in it and well you all just knew that I had to check this show the very first chance that I got and since HBO Max have just dropped the first two episodes of this show join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that is the first adult animated series of in the Scooby-Doo franchise with the show in question being called simply just "Velma" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when two teenagers are killed it's up to Velma to find out who killed them and why and at the same time unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of her own mother. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty really bad with the shows plot being laughable at best and just straight up bad at it's worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in these first two episodes is the shows executive producer Mindy Kaling as Velma Dinkley and Constance Wu as Daphne Blake. Also starring in these first two episodes is Sam Richardson as Shaggy Rogers , Glenn Howerton as Fred Jones , Jane Lynch as Donna Blake , Wanda Sykes as Linda Blake , Russell Peters as Aman Dinkley , Melissa Fumero as Sophie , Debby Ryan as Krista , Gary Cole as Lamont Rogers , Cherry Jones as Victoria Jones and Scooby-Doo and voice acting legend Frank Welker as William Jones.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. Granted the acting isn't that good either but it could have been so much more worse then what it actually was and given that we do have some good actors in these first two episodes does mean that we get some decent acting in these first two episodes.

Try as I might I really cannot find out who did the animation for these first two episodes and for the rest of the show. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really bad with the animation looking amateurish at best with the animation also being very choppy and is also really very cheap looking as well. 

As I mentioned at the very start of this post this is the first Scooby-Doo TV show not to actually feature Scooby-Doo, This is due to two reasons the first one being a studio mandate not to feature the character in an adult animated series and the second one being the fact that the makers of the show couldn't figure out a way to include the character in a more realistic way both of which are just ridiculous because there's a fan made web series that's an adult version of Scooby-Doo that features Scooby-Doo in a very realistic way so it can be done as for the mandate thing adult animated shows can feature characters from kids animated TV shows and believe it or not the kids could actually tell the difference and no harm was ever done to the brand.

There was no way in heck that I could do this post and not talk about the fact that three of the four mystery inc characters were race swapped. Race swapping a character that has been mostly known as one race for close to fifty years at this point will always be a bad thing and even more so when it happens to multiple characters and so I have wonder if the makers of this show only did it just so that they could claim that if we the audience don't like the show then they could call us every name under the sun because there's no other reason to do it and on top of all of that Velma in this show is literally a self insert since she looks exactly like this shows executive producer and leading voice actress Mindy Kaling. 

I will give this show this it is trying something by being the first fully animated Scooby-Doo project that's aimed squarely at adults. However this show does that in the most stereotypical way possible and that's by including nudity and gore and not and not actually talking about adult themes look at The Simpsons for example which is an adult comedy but it also touches on rather adult themes HBO Max's Harley Quinn is an adult animated show that doesn't use nudity at all and both of those shows have a better understanding of what it means to be an adult animated show then what this show does which is a shame.

Now then these episodes has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets for episode one and twenty five minuets for episode two. Which is the perfect running times for both of these episodes to have since if you stretched this show out to have forty five minuet episodes then you'd be stretching this already pretty thinly drawn out story even thinner and even tho both of these episodes have some good pacing to them they still could have been at the very least five or maybe even ten minuets shorter.

So now then since this is a comedy show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty OK at best. Since alot of the jokes that we got in thee first two episodes just fell flat and didn't even get a smile out of me but then the show would hit you with a decent joke out of nowhere in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this show is one to avoid for any die hard Scooby-Doo or animation fan since it fails to be good at being a Scooby-Doo product and it's animation is so bad that it will make animation fans angry as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Scooby-Doo fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
