I imagine his supporters are a lot like MAGA folk over here. Completely stupid, and willing to believe anything he says.

No, it's just that the wild overreaction to Velma is 100% the result of demented morons.
​
The show was just merely very hit and miss, not legendarily bad. And also, it got better around episode 4.

Pretending to care about Scooby Doo is cringe.

They are going way out of the way to establish him as anti-Shaggy at the moment. Maybe they will have some way to bring it full circle.

They didn't though. Like, there's just two lesbian cop partners who are partners. That's it.

No, Norville is an anti-Shaggy character, to the point where a side plot point is that he's constantly trying to distance himself from marijuana and keeps failing accidentally. Which I thought was very funny.
As for the hate, people are just making up excuses. A guy in here is using the Scooby Doo canon as a shield for the hate, like anyone believes that shit for a second.

It's blood in the water for the anti-woke types. There are/were big expectations for this show, so when it sucks pretty hard for the first 4 minutes of the first episode it somehow becomes a huge target for criticism. And there should be some criticism, because parts of the writing are atrocious. However, there's great stuff too, which people would know if they actually watched it. Which they didn't.

I am not going to buy that. It's just cover. No one gives a shit about Scooby Doo canon.

I am pretty sure they haven't made any kind of point about the lesbian cops, except to maybe link all the themes of partnerships. But that's a stretch.

I saw a huge mix of good and bad writing throughout. When it hit for me they were very good jokes, but there were times when the jokes were just stale or fell flat, and shouldn't have been in there. The first four or so minutes of the first episode were hard to watch, honestly. But it got better and I laughed out loud like 3 or 4 times in there.

So therefore it's never the racists' fault? Come on, like it's really that hard to believe that the extreme pushback on this show isn't motivated by a lot more than simply people not finding it funny.

I laughed quite a few times, but I cringed quite a few times too. It's uneven for sure, but holy shit it's at least above average. Truly terrible stuff has come before and I didn't see anyone make daily posts about how bad that stuff was.

Thank you. If people are saying this is "the worst show" then I want to know what they've seen or what they like, because those shows you mentioned are some of the first ones that come to mind when I think "worst show."

Blood in the water for all the anti-woke people, never mind that it's not actually a bad show.

No it's not. There are chunks of cringe in an other wise above average show. Folks are lining up to eviscerate it because it has *some* woke commentary and that makes people angry.
khanfusion t1_j4eluhg wrote
The criticism of the show itself is completely out of whack, too. Like, there were parts I thought were garbage, but overall both episodes were above average, and had funny stuff in them. The people losing their shit and making the most noise about how "bad" it is seem to have a chip on their shoulder for *some* reason.

Because most public school teachers are female, therefore most teachers who do skeevy shit with/to students are female by basic numbers?

Republicans weren't worried about kids not getting more vaccines, they just had this idea that if kids get sick at school it's a good thing. It was and still is idiotic.

You didn't really specify what half, and honestly Republicans were and still are making such a mess of everything that giving them any kind of credit where it is clearly undue is an irritating thing to see.
