Mindy, who previously starred in the acclaimed US Office, plays the lead in the iconic character’s origin story, which she previously hinted will see her ‘struggle to navigate the pitfalls of high school, her budding sexuality, and a serial killer intent on murdering every popular kid in town.’
Charlie Grandy, Howard Klein and Sam Register also serve as executive producers, while Warner Bros. Animations will produce. A picture taken of the presentation confirms that Velma is a lot more violent than what children who grew up with Scooby Doo would be used to, as it shows a character with the top of her head sawn off and her brain missing.
In an interview last summer, she told Seth Meyers ‘people were very supportive and happy’ when the project was first announced, but when it was revealed Velma would be South Asian ‘people were not happy.’Fans were furious that Velma was South Asian, with Mindy now saying she ‘doesn’t care’ if people ‘freak out’ about the change
Stop race swapping characters
She doesn't need to care but this is not Velma
Wait until the series get a bad reception. She will probably care then.
I’m more worried about the fact they think we need adult scooby doo content. I think it’s a mistake to use this IP for adult content
Why not just make your own original detective show about a southern Indian high schooler?
Indian Velma. Interesting....Also, they made Daphne black a few years ago, so changing the characters' races isn't new for Scooby Doo.
because it's ok to race swap white characters but it's not ok to race swap a character to white. there is no hypocrisy there at all is there .
Is this where ReplacementTheory comes from?
Changes a character that was pre-established for decades in order to fit her own ideals. Then dares people to get mad in hopes that it'll make them look bigoted. Hollywood sure loves the smell of their own farts.
im sick of the race swaping do your own shit or you have to do it with everything where is a mexican black panther or a white luke cage
So she made the character into herself? Narcissist maybe
Gross
Imagine Being The Creator/Director of This Show and Have Fans Criticizing Your Work, Then You Tell Them “I Don’t Care”.
Make your own shows, how about that…?
But will she care if nobody watches that failure?
I'm not sure, why people are freaking out about it tbf I 'mean all the' virtue signalling is just 'tokenism' for the 21st Century. All jokes aside though it really doesn't matter about the colour, race or sexuality of a cartoon character.
Look there is a whole kick off about how white actors can't play other ethnic roles. So why should this be any different actors should play there own ethnicity then there is no arguments
So wait. White people can't voice non whites anymore, but anything else is fine? I see how this inclusive thing is working 🙄 It's definitely all about bring us together 😒
