This series single-handedly made Scrappy go from loved, to hated to now the most loved character in the series now.

9:20 She just admitted to committing sexual harassment, especially the part where she told coworkers, “Tell anyone and you’re fired!”

At this point I’m convinced this entire show was one giant scheme to no longer make Scrappy Doo the most hated character in the Scooby Doo franchise.

Ironic how Fred is the character the writers want us all to hate, yet ends up becoming the most likeable person in this whole damn show.

I find the constant jabs towards rich people to be incredibly ironic because not only is Mindy Kailing herself incredibly rich, but her parents were apparently rich themselves to the point she attended a private school Edit: I've seen a few people say how we should separate the actor from the character and how there are plenty of characters who are voiced by the creators of their respective shows or movies (for example both Matt and Trey have played multiple characters in their projects) and while I get where people are coming from, I do personally see Velma in this show as a self insert of Mindy Kailing. Not only cause of the choice to change Velma's ethnicity to match Kailing's, but Kailing has had the habit of self inserting herself into projects she's worked on

My favorite part was the part where Velma FUCKING DIES!! The only issue is even satan didn’t want her and her consciousness still exists on the mortal plane!

F for our boy Scrappy, he was a true war hero killing that Velma

This woman should never be allowed to touch media ever again.

Says a lot about the quality of the show when the best moments are the main character getting hit by a car and dying.

It really says something when Scrappy-Doo is the most likeable character in the show

Anything deserved a second season except Velma

"And then it becomes meta, which is our generation's thing" is one of the most "How do you do, fellow kids?" things I have ever heard in my life. It's like the writers were saying "You have to like being told what to like, because that's what your generation likes"

There was a parody of these series where Scooby showed up and started killing the cast explaining that he was a godlike being who'd been trying to recreate the original gang in every one of their new series but was failing and the reveal that it's Scrappy killing here feels like an homage to that video

Velma season 2's existance is akin to the last remaining hornet that survived the demolition of its nest. An annoyance, but one that is reduced from its original state.

Im glad you mentioned the hate watching not being a factor. I feel like many people didnt hatewatch. They let content creators watch it, then they watch content creators. Indirect views didnt cause a second season. Greed caused it.

Scrappy doo: the hero we needed, wanted, AND deserved.

If you wanna hate watch this series do it through piracy, don't give the corporate hacks behind the show any of your money

0:13 don't forget the Batman Beyond animated movie who it was going to be made by the people who MADE Spiderverse. WTF WARNER?!!

this show has the worst advice for panic attacks: kissing(SS1) & eating(SS2) both would cause you to choke to death

Hey, at least Scrappy Doo kills Velma

Personally if I’m gonna be honest, I think the idea of a Scooby-Doo adult show isn’t a horrible idea. In fact it has all the right materials to be centered into the horror genre. It’s just that the execution was just so terribly done in Velma.

The thing is, it's not even a second season, it's just Season 1 cut into two, but they're advertising it as Season 2 because they'd have to pay the animators more if they ordered two seasons

I have a gnawing suspicion that this is one of those cases where the only way to defeat the bad thing is to ignore the bad thing and focus on some thing that is good.

When the White, anime-ish style Velma and Daphne walk by, it's a cruel reminder of what could have been. What did Scooby-Doo do to the powers that be to piss them off so much?

Poetic actually Scrappy saved Scooby from cancellation, and Scrappy saves Scooby from being tainted

inside job fans watching this atrocity happen:

It saddens me that a show like "Raised by Wolves" (a show that was quite unique and entertaining) gets cancelled on a massive cliffhanger, while garbage like "Velma" (and also Teen Titans Go) get a second chance. Have I stepped into the Twilight Zone or what?

Something I feel needs to be mentioned, is that Scrappy Doo being the villain isn't even an original twist. The first live action Scooby Doo Movie already did that as a joke.

I love that Fred is the only one who's worth giving a damn over. It reminds me of how the higher-ups for the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie made the studio create Cole Young because they didn't wanna use Johnny Cage, because "having another white male lead feels too Hollywood-ish". But then the only character that people ACTUALLY liked the most in the movie was Kano... a white male. Kind of goes to show when all you focus on is trying to give your non-white characters special attention and writing them to be absolutely perfect and able to do no wrong, somehow the white characters are the only ones who are treated normally and without special treatment, so it feels like they're written more naturally and then people are more drawn to them.

I think the funniest joke about velma 2 is that its brought Scrappy back into the conv more than "man he sucked" or "maybe this character is kind of overhated" (personally I fall in the later camp cause.......honestly I never got the extreme hate)

This Velma was so toxic her spirit literally killed Scrappy. I know he can be annoying, but he doesn't deserve this.

I love the fact that WB and Max didn't even bother with it this time around. They fucking knew that the bad retention rate from Season 1 would only be worse for this Season, so just drop it all on the same day with minimal advertising. That and the fact that they immediately started talking about the live action series means that they're done with this shitshow once the Halloween Special is thrown out to die.

I always did love Scrappy-Doo for a reason! Such a good doggy 🥰

The best scenes in the entirety of Velma was when she got hit by a car and when she died

The only positive thing to come out of this show is that it helped relieve the hate that Scrappy has gotten over the years by offing off Velma.

Velma season 2? More like The Scrappy redemption arc season 1.

What if Velma was a giant stunt to make Scrappy beloved? It's unlikely, but I can kind of see it.

How are we getting a second and potentially third season of this tumour of a show but cartoons like The Ghost and Molly McGee, Owl House, and Amphibia will never see the light of day?? 😭🤦🏼‍♂️

I always liked Scrappy so it was quite funny finding out he was hated in the live action Scooby Doo movie lol looks like he’s had a redemptive arc

Thanks Steve! For suffering through this so we don't have to

Why does Velma season 2 happen but Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Coyote vs Acme, and Inside Job get canned?

Keep in mind when Norville shocked his brain the only people he insulted in that 24 hour span was his dad and the mailman. Who for Norville's dad they keep referencing him as the originally shaggy and they only do this when his dad gets high.

Can't believe Scrappy Doo went through a redemption arc

It's like a horror movie, it doesn't die

Its admirable you endured all of this

What I don't understand was how come the series brought Scrappy, but completely leaves out Scooby. That's a total disservice for me. Then again, this whole series is a disservice to the Scooby-Doo Franchise. Just like you said, it's like WB is giving us a big shitty middle finger.

On the bright side, Steve’s returned. On the bad side, it’s with Velma

So let me get this straight Norville comes back at the end of S1 because Velma said she loved him and now in S2 he barley thinks about her. What a consistent character.

I avoided watching Velma so I can watch this Video.

As if 2024 couldn’t get worse, we get Velma S2

This is the only way I can watch the show. Steve's commentary makes everything hilarious.

*Scrappy kills Velma* "Perhaps I treated you too harshly."

Imagine if Dennis Reynolds wanted to play Fred so much, he got in contact with Mindy Kaling and Max to make a horrible Scooby-Doo show to taunt Mac and Charlie.

The curse returns

If I had a nickel for every time Velma got a season I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened twice. P.S. I’m so glad Scrappy killed Velma, as a reward I tolerate him now.

I never had a problem with Scrappy Doo growing up it’s the weird Gen X writers that do. I’m glad he’s doing the lord work and killed Mindy Velma.

With all the hype Scrappy has been getting maybe it’s time to bring him back into the franchise for real.

It's been years since I watched the og Scooby-Doo so I can't speak for myself now, but I thought Scrappy was hilarious back in the day. And small dogs really are that bold and stupid, so it wasn't a bad running gag.

It says something when Scrappy Doo is the best thing in the series. At least his Voice actor sounds like he's actually TRYING and wants to be there.

I am praying we don't get a season 3, but I also see Mindy Kaling throwing a huge temper tantrum about it and will be blaming everyone around the world for not stroking her ego. and if somehow it does get a season 3 Then she almost has to have something on someone

Lol first time in a long time scrappy Doo been done justice. Killing this Velma was a god send and am not even a believer but some times i wanna believe.

Scrappy doo is the best redeem villain in media ever!

Please don’t cause anymore suffering to yourself… that’s what this show is all ABOUT. SUFFERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:17 OHHHHhh this is why theres all this dong plot, almost completely toxic lesbian stereotypes, and hate/love of fred. Mindy kaling is down bad and didnt want to pay a animator on deviantart T_T

I never watched the first season and i will never watch the second season ive done my country proud

Just leaving my Obligatory “please review Sword of the Stranger” dude. Definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.

7:46 He’s the best character

The fact that there was basically no promotion for this second season, AND they released all the episodes at once, it really seems like they dumped this show on their streaming services and hoped everyone will just forget this show exist.

So they canceled Close Enough buuuut... Velma got a second season?!?!? Seriously!!! WTF HBO!

Everyone: this show sucks. Directors who can't take criticism: it's all the audiences fault!

Velma got a 2nd season, but fantastic animated shows such Thundercats (2011), Symbiotic Titan, and Cybersix got canned after 1 season.

I feel like Vincent Van Ghoul will be coming to rescue Velma's soul in the cliffhanger

WAKE UP BABE, STEVE UPLOADED

Man, working on this as an artist must've been hell.

She's funny in the office when she plays an empty head. Using her brain isn't her friend...or ours

If this abomination ends at season 2 I will build a shrine to Scrappy in my house.

The "oh white guy," jokes are still there, they're just more implied then out there in this season Anyway please let that be the end of velma! It's a happy one

This show makes shaggy and scooby doo get a clue look like a masterpiece.

I just think of that episode of Justice League where the alien courts determined that a Lawyer suffers the same fate as their clients, and I think there should be a punishment for those who take another's IP and makes something horrible and hateful with it

thank you for doing this so none of us had to watch this show. you are leading us to a better world of no Vemla season 3

I still to this day do not understand the Scrappy Doo hate, like what has my boy ever done wrong??

The sad part is the animation is genuinely not horrible. Shame about the script and character design.

Supposedly there's a special that is supposed to come out around halloween that will wrap up the series. So the horror isnt over yet.

Scrappy Doo is our guardian angel

I'd rather go rewatch that Knuckles spin-off show than having to waste my precious hours on Velma S2. Which, fun fact, they premiered on the same week together.

I like Scrappy and even I know Scrappy was the True Hero of the Story we Lost.

I'd bet my bottom dollar that the season ending on a cliff hanger is just a tactic try try and FORCE a new season by having that as a reason to continue.

the only Velma content I've taken in has been your video essays and that's the only way I'm watching this load XD

I think the reason why they dropped it all instead of doing it in pieces, is because there are probably not enough people that actually hate watch the show. Most are probably just doing as I do, watch others cringe or critique at the show, since it is not actually worth the time to watch it in full.

To quote Thanos Thank you Scrappy, Perhaps I treated you to harshly…

Scrappy Doo is my second favorite character in Scooby Doo so seeing him kill this Velma was a treat but also watching him die hurt like hell

The moment you start to miss the good ol' days of Santa Inc.

*Attempt #19* Would you consider reviewing the Redwall series?❤️ Its a childhood favorite of mine, but its a show with dark and depressing elements sprinkled in...that was broadcasted on PBS.

Velma only had one good character (well several but one of the main characters), Fred. We are supposed to view Fred as a misogynistic, racist, manchild who is supposed to be spoiled and rich. But we all view him as a great guy who is mistreated by others, grows as a character, has the better jokes, and does prove himself. Velma on the other hand is supposed to be a character that we sympathize with, understand, relate to, and care for. But in reality, we hate her for being a hypocrite, egotistical, self-centered, racist, misandrist, hateful person who cares about no one other than herself and what she thinks and wants. Daphne and Norville are both boring since Daphne only fills the role of Norville of season 1 and just take Norville out of the majority of season 2 and nothing would change. Norville's real purpose was to find out his grandmother is still alive, and Daphne's role is to be rebellious from Velma, but still go back to her.

I didn't know you'd review this season too, yet it seemed obvious this review would happen (it made enough sense in my head).

For crying out loud, are these writers so incompetent they couldn't even think up "I bit off their junk as revenge for being neutered"!?

Would it be so hard to ignore this series, pretend it doesn't exist?

Remember everyone: do not engage with the show in ANY capacity. Don't watch clips of it on youtube or twitter, don't talk about the show with others, and do not hate watch it. The show wants your attention, so do not give it any. It will go away eventually.

Scrappy really is the true hero of the Scooby franchise

My sincerest condolences. Bonus trivia: WB cancelled a Scooby-Doo project with the Hex Girls and have been axing animation left and right for tax writeoffs, but let this through. (:
