Velma will not get a season 3. This news comes from one of the show’s background artists.

Ding-dong, the ***** is dead! Which old *****? The wicked *****
Ding-dong, the wicked ***** is dead

Probably the best news I've heard this year! So long you disgrace of Velma aka VINO (Velma In Name Only)! :D

How many People here are getting Mario Party
Possibly, but only if other friends get it.

I'm not even all that big into Mario Party nowadays tbh. I'm way more into like, Dokapon Kingdom.

That game is a real party game designed to make you hate your friends. One of the best games I've ever played.

Off to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Let us see if it holds up being one of the better "belated" sequels along with Top Gun: Maverick and Blade Runner: 2049.

Already seen The Wild Robot. One of my favorite films of this year.

Have no interest in Transformers One. Looks painfully generic trying to mimic and copy Guardians in terms of tone and humor. CGI looks cheap as well.
Actually heard a lot of folks say this is one of the best Transformers films and the trailers don’t do the actual film justice

I've always thought the amount of hatred this show received was ridiculous. I'm not saying it's good (I've never watched it and have very little intention of changing that), it's more... why give a ****? There have been a million Scooby-Doo shows in the past, and there are going to be a million more in the future. The current version of the show being bad really doesn't matter.

Velma sucked but animation YouTube saw an opportunity to capitalize on a trend so they played it up to be way worse than it actually was.

Update on the Velma story:

The same storyboard artist confirmed the show is not cancelled, but not renewed either.

I think you're the only person who cares THIS much about this show tbh.

Fortnite collab updates:

Billy the Puppet, Leatherface, and Mephisto are on the way!
Hello Children

Would you like to play a game.....of Fortnite?

I will always maintain that the artstyle and animation for Velma are legitimately great.

Regardless, so much of animation discourse feels like this



with the amount of people who still talk about TTG and the 2016 Powerpuff Girls Reboot.

I've seen Transformers One and the trailers did the movie a MASSIVE disservice.
While the comedy is hit or miss, that's not what the film hinges on.
The focus is on the relationship between the bots that will become Optimus Prime and Megatron and I will bet it will tell the story WAY better than Mufasa: The Lion King.

The Velma hate has been tiresome for a while, but also I feel like the amount of criticism videos it gets on Youtube are at least more justified than over half of the other animated show review and rant videos out there.

Didn't watch Velma since I wasn't interested from first impressions on the reveal. Everyone has their own opinions.

Still, there is a fine line on content that are passable despite flaws and those that are.........unbearable to tolerate.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate with the 13.0.3 patch that came out tonight:

Did Ninty and Bamco added Rollback Netcode? Steve and Kazuya got nerfed? Did they added the series' names to Zagreus, the 13 Sentinels and the main XC3 duo? whatever it is, I will have low expectations.

Edit: oh! It was just the Global Smash Power. Ok…

the only thing I genuinely enjoy about the Velma show is Fred (lesbian Daphne is a bonus tho…not the rest of her but that part was cool)

Don’t get me wrong, Mindy Kaling’s vanity project was garbage that feels like it was made from pure spite and I don’t have a lot of positive stuff to say outside of the animation, most of the character designs and voice acting being relatively solid, but I also think a good chunk of the reaction was also due to it coming out around the time Zaslav was handing out tax write offs to mainly of WB’s projects left and right and a lot of shows and films got booted, mainly of which had great critical and audience reception, yet a show like this was left unscathed despite all the vitriol it stirred up left a bad taste in a lot of folks mouths.

Tbf isn't TTG still on the air? Like, I don't care about the sanctity of the original show but I think TTG has outlasted the original by this point. Also, funny enough, I almost never hear about Ben 10 2016 anymore and when I do, it's praise about it's own strengths, kinda funny how that one turned out
