    i enjoyed the Velma tv show immensely, its okay if you didn’t, but people got really carried away with just how much they hate women the show, it’s a cartoon, enjoy it or dont, don’t act like Rome is burning before your eyes

    good jokes, inclusive characters, queer people that don’t die in the first episode, fun subversion of expectations, meta humour about tropes, a fun mystery, cancelled too soon, but there’s still 30something episodes

    it made me reasses how I felt about Mindy Kaling’s work as a whole, turns out I had been caught up in the misogynistic whirlwind in the past, I’ve really enjoyed her older stuff upon revisiting it since seeing Velma
