I don’t need to feel represented. I want to be entertained.
show without the dog seems pointless—why reboot a comedy and then get rid of its most inherently comedic element?Regarding another of the industry’s go-to moves, I want to push back on the notion that every historically white property or gang of characters needs to be melanized to fit today’s standards. I say this as someone who loves a race-swapped rebranding of a beloved franchise, and even more so relishes the hilarity ofby a fictional character existing differently than they had imagined.
I didn’t need to feel represented by them as much as I wanted to be entertained by them. In this version, Velma is a narcissist who has alienated everyone around her because she’s a smarter-than-the-rest Brown girl who incessantly reminds everyone of those two facts. It’s less kitschy and certainly less fun.As for the show’s aim to satirize the liberal political climate via adult comedy, it’s incoherent enough to make everyone mad.
