So many controversial stuff about HBO Max's Velma, folks. At first, I was very skeptical and interesting about it and I'm willing to give it a fair shot because I'm one of those folks who can make fair and honesty opinions.
I get that why people are so mad and salty about Velma being adult animated, judging that Velma is from the family-friendly Scooby-Doo franshise, and I have to agree with them. But, that's not the case here. I had decided to watch it on HBO Max when it comes out, and I've got to say...it's not bad. Seriously, it's not that bad, but it's not good either. I think some of the writing in this show is kinda nice and the animation is pretty great too. The characters were kinda dumb down, Velma's personality matches with Mindy Kaling's other characters such as Disgust from Inside Out for example, which kinda makes sense because Mindy voices both of these characters. Daphne is the typical snobbish popular girl, Fred is the pompus rich boy, and Norville is Shaggy's replacement. Also, I wouldn't mind if they add Scooby in the show or not, they didn't add Scooby in the show and I honestly don't mind....sorry, but Scooby wouldn't fit in a adult show unless it's some kinda a crude parody cutaway gag scene from Family Guy or Robot Chicken.
Again, the animation is amazing, like some of the part makes the animation looks fluid and impressive and the the show's visual art style kinda reminds me of The Venture Bros. And there are some interesting moments with the characters, not to mention that the show's mystery solving murder case story is obviously interesting to me.
Overall, you can hate this show all you want, but it does have a few great qualities about it when it comes to the animation and the visuals. If you disagree with me saying that Velma is average, or you can agree with me. I can respect your opinion if you dislike or hate the show.
Again, it's not a bad show, but it's not a good one, I would call it mixed and average.
I give HBO Max's Velma a 6.4/10.
