The adult-oriented cartoon airing on HBO Max features the character Velma Dinkley and her origin story before the beloved crime-solving gang from the original “Scooby-Doo” series got together. It stars comedic actress Mindy Kaling as the voice of the main character alongside a cast of diverse characters.
“Velma” was released this week, and already many “Scooby-Doo” fans are upset about how the series fundamentally changes the characters’ personalities. So far, the series has an 8% audience rating and a 50% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“If you are a fan of Scooby-Doo don’t watch this. It’s everything terrible about modern-day Hollywood wrapped into a terrible Reboot no one asked for,” one reviewer warned.
“As a fan of the original series, this is not written for me which is a shame really,” another viewer agreed.
