HBO max has made plenty of plans for new shows on the streaming service, and a major one was Mindy Kaling's "Velma" series. Though the show initially sounded great to most fans, there is internet division now over some important aspects that will be missing in the show.The Mindy Kaling "Velma" series is, of course, a spin-off of the "Scooby-Doo" franchise. But that doesn't mean all of the main connections will be apparent in the show. It was recently revealed that Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Van would be absent from the "Velma" Series.On top of those aspects being gone, Velma will also be of East Asian descent in order to reimagine the character and bring some diversity to a new show. The other characters such as Shaggy, Fred, and Daphne will all be in the show as well. They will create the beginnings of a new detective crew to solve mysteries, but presumably without ever having Scooby-Doo with them or the iconic van.If those aspects are gone from the entire show or just the beginning remains to be confirmed, but there were further comments on what the show is all about, according to Warner Media.Fan reactions to the Velma Series and comments from Warner MediaVelma has been Asian before (portrayed by Hayley Kiyoko) and it was one of my favorite interpretations of her tbh, people really out here getting mad about such a blank-slate character. https://t.co/jDK8E2WsQR pic.twitter.com/QffDnVfU3e— Nipah 🐣 (@NipahDUBS) June 10, 2021velma is way too much of a blank state character for y’all to be crying over a reimagining https://t.co/XjxvCSuu2P— dill (@thankuquinn) June 10, 2021Why not just make a brand new character then?— Pfft.. yeah, maybe in your kookie ass world dude.. (@Boglinfanatic) June 8, 2021Tom Ascheim, the President of Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults, and Classics gave some insight into the upcoming "Velma" series. Whether fans will appreciate the comments is a different story, but they at least outline the show.Is it me or does it feel racist for them to make the smartest character in the group an Asian?— What IGN thinks is worse than Fortnite (@IGNWorseThan) June 10, 2021There is no single way to Velma. pic.twitter.com/cYqZLctKnT— ᴀʜᴍᴀᴅ ᴄʜɪʟᴅʀᴇss (@AhmadChildress) June 10, 2021Well she's not Velma then is she https://t.co/vAPwVkxUwS— Bolverk (@Bolverk15) June 10, 2021"We have a not for children Mindy Kaling project called Velma because she was excited to reimagine what Scooby-Doo would be like if Velma were of East Asian descent and lived in a different world. And in that version, which is going on HBO Max first, there’s no dog and no van but we have our 4 key characters through a different lens and I think it’s great. Allowing our creators to play with our IP is super powerful."Velma trending?? Let’s take a moment to praise Linda Cardellini and Hayley Kiyoko pic.twitter.com/OjVsUhRZWE— jill ᱬ ✇ | loki era (@scarletshulk) June 10, 2021Based on the comments, the "Velma" series will also supposedly be heading to other platforms eventually, but HBO will be the service fans need to watch it first.Yes because Velma surely can’t be Asian. pic.twitter.com/tAClXcBFnS— TheGreatBurg (@TheZBurg) June 10, 2021Are people really getting mad that Velma is being re-imagined as East Asian for the new Velma seres?Guys this isn't even the first time Velma HAS been cast as Asian as Helen Kiyoko played her. This isn't a big deal... also it's ONE series this isn't even a permanent shift. pic.twitter.com/wmj4B8RPAa— TRAFON(s Backup Account) (@RiseFallNickBck) June 10, 2021Velma struggling to find her glasses because she cannot see her glasses without her glasses is one of the most honest representations of real life in the history of fiction. pic.twitter.com/fa7urFkWeG— Got no spleen, Gene! (@CbiscuitG) June 10, 2021You can’t just change someone’s ethnicity and backstory to fit your agenda,add more characters don’t change old ones,are people of other ethnicities that meaningless that you can’t make them their own character rather than mould them to fit a pre-existing one so you can pander— 💖🤍💜🖤💙 (@Ughhhh_its_me) June 10, 2021I've always loved Velma and I think every interpretation I've seen either live-action or animated has shown respect for the original creation. I don't believe changing her ethnicity will destroy this as long as she remains the smart and brave character she has always been.— Steve Chaput (@stevec50) June 10, 2021Supposedly online, some fans have been commenting out of frustration that Velma would be reimagined as a character of East Asian descent. However, many top comments point out that Velma is mostly a blank slate character that doesn't necessarily need to stay as one idea. Regardless, there will likely be some division for a while.
