You say that, but my new series "Snorks," directed by Quentin Tarantino, will make you change your mind. You will be amazed at how many feet pics there will be in this series. Just amazed.
That reminds me of something I read few months ago about how the people working on long running soap strips like Mary Worth are actually reduced to writing them for hate clicks from bloggers.Velma has become my guilty pleasure. It's not good, but I don't find it as unwatchable as others, and the Velma/Daphne love story is cute.
What does strike mas as weird about Velma is that it's got this weird mix of jokes that are told from a left-wing perspective and jokes told from a right-wing perspective. One second, they'll do jokes that pre-suppose that gay identities are legitimate, and the next minute they'll do jokes like, "Teens are oversensitive about tolerance" or "you can't tell edgy jokes anymore because of Me Too." It's weird. It's going for the Harley Quinn series vibe, but it's like the show has no consistent point of view in which to ground its humor the way Harley Quinn does.
Haven't seen it, but If I were the IP holder, I'd be seriously worried right now about the kind of perception this would have on the overall IP. Like, if a kid were to really like Scooby Doo and want to see more of it and stumbled upon this, it'd be highly inappropriate. This is why it might be a bad idea to make an adult cartoon out of a popular saturday morning cartoon.
I don't know. I mean, it's a 50-year-old I.P., everyone knows the brand
Which is exactly why this kind of thing is questionable. It ends up feeling like the producer is leveraging the IP for their own gains. If it weren't for the IP, this likely wouldn't receive nearly the same amount of attention, or likely wouldn't even get made.
I guess I'm just trying to figure out what kind of value it's bringing to the table since it's so intrinsically different. It'd be like if they made a Muppet movie where they go to Vegas, get drunk, gamble and slap an adult label on it.
Why not?but shouldn't have been part of the Star Wars canon).
Why not?
Frank Welker ftw.I think if someone had wanted to do Scooby Doo with more adult themes, they should’ve done this…
It isn't the first time adult political themes have appeared in SW.In my view, Andor is a brilliant, high-quality series that nonetheless breaks all of the conventions of Star Wars as a story and which appropriates a children's adventure story for adult political purposes.
