The worst thing about her envolvement is that since the loudest people who voiced their dislike for Velma were just complaining about the woke stuffs like the race swapping, Mindy and other people envolved in the creation of the show pretended that all the hate the show was recieving was from "angry bigots in their 40s".

@@jeneveuxpasdiremonnom1198 out of curiosity, did you even watch the movie? Because I did and even though the film doesn't give a big Jean-Luc Picard speech at the end of the film, it's very clear to anyone with a modicum of media literacy that none of the behavior is looked on in a positive light. I mean, the ending dance number pans out to an adult audience that is shaking their heads in disgust and Ami herself runs back home to play jump rope with the neighborhood kids. If that's Nora very clear statement, I don't know what is. It's also worth pointing out that the movie focuses on a Muslim girl whose family was new to France and preparing for her father to bring home a second wife and both she and her mother have Thoughts™ on this. Like, we can criticize how the director chose to get the message across but I will say for the record that the director did have psychologists on set and the close up shots people in the US took issue with used adult body doubles. The uncomfortableness was the point of the movie and truste when I say people who beat off to kids don't need to endure two hours of French art house media with subtitles to do it. Tik Tok is free.

I wouldnt say levinson didn’t write euphoria. A lot about the adaptation is really different from the original, especially with the direction the story goes in, and in rues characterization. Rue in the original series is dead, and is telling the story after they died of an overdose, while in the adaptation rue is very much alive, and given how much levinson based rues story off his own story with drug abuse rue will probably be alive and overcome her addiction by the end of it. But like even with the more minor characters like Kat their characterization is pretty similar but in the isreali version Kat gets aids and has her life ruined. Levinson didn’t make a one for one copy of the original, and season 1 of euphoria is a lot more compelling and interesting than the weird miserable mess that is the original isreali version. I would say he’s a hack tho, because season 2 sucked and the idol is one of the worst shows I have ever had the displeasure of seeing.

Mindy Kaling is an executive producer and showrunner for Velma and she wrote the 9th episode... She did not "just voice the main character."

The fact that Marvel turned Nick Fury, one of the coolest, intelligent and mysterious characters in the MCU who helped The Avengers become a team in saving the world, into a sad, miserable, dumb old man was just *dreadful* to watch. Character assassination at it's finest. And I thought an alien cat scratching his eye out in Captain Marvel was the *worst* thing that happened to him.

Velma is so beautifully animated and I feel so sorry for those artists who used their talent on this garbage. Also the guy who directed The Idol needs to be cancelled for putting this mess into the world. I only saw the first episode and I'm still traumatised

Fun fact: I watched the flash when I was quite young, and I used to think his name was Berry Allen for a LONG TIME, mostly because I'm Scottish and my young brain didn't comprehend that the Americans were saying Barry. Man was I depressed when I learned what his real name was.

Every time I think about The Idol, I'm reminded of this phrase: "so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

The Crowded Room was one of those shows I wanted to succeed but also fail. I have a dissociative disorder that manifests very similarly as DiD. So any time a piece of media decides to touch my disorder, it always fills me with dread. When Tom Holland got attached to the project, I became a little hopeful. From the way he talks in interviews etc I trusted him to treat the disorder with respect and not as a troupe like so many other pieces of media do. Heck the man destroyed his mental health trying to make sure he was portraying things correctly. Part of me wanted this show to succeed, because we could have had a show that portrayed the complexities of having alters with nuance, not as simply a troupe, and could help start to break some of the stigma given to the disorder by Hollywood. But alas, it came out and it was awful, just a boring, uninteresting mess and all the discussion that came from it was from Superhero fans being angry Tom Holland had a gay scene.

You've kind of missed a key point about the CW network. While it's true that their domestic television division never made a net profit, the programs that were created for that network did prove profitable when combining domestic ad revenues with foreign licensing deals for most of the network's history. It's not like the companies that owned it prior to Nexstar were just keeping the network around for the fun of it. They were making money, it's just that profitability relied in a large part on downstream sales of the products they were producing.

What's funny about it is, in some of the comics, Harley and Joker DO have a daughter - but Harley kept her a secret because she feared what Joker would do to the kid. She wanted her daughter to have a normal life away from all the BS and grow up not walking in Joker or Harley's footsteps, which would be a compelling story that this show ignored. It could have involved Joker's daughter grown up and finding out who her father was, being pulled into their world through someone finding out Harley had a kid, and even involved Damian Wayne cause they'd be about the same age. She and Damian would be contrasted and complementary at the same time, as her parents were villains but she grew up well-adjusted, but Damian's father was Batman and he grew up first in the criminal underworld and then became a hero alongside his dad & adopted brothers, never having lived a normal life. I'd have loved seeing that interaction.

I find it funny that you had to use the Gotham Knights title from the game that came out last year. Because the title for the actual show is a dark font in a black background that you can barely see.

What’s unfortunate about Velma is the animation quality is very good. The WB animation team deserves better than having their name associated with this turd.

Mindy Kaling is the executive producer of Velma. In television the Executive producer has a great deal of creative control, almost like a director in a movie. That's why many TV shows will have different directors from episode to episode, they are more facilitators than visionaries, the executive producer often guides the show. It's not like movies where a producer is mainly a money man. So I do think a lot of the blame is shared between her and the writers. EDIT: Of course right after I post this I see your comment correcting yourself!

Mayfair Witches is perhaps my favorite book series since I was a child, and what they did to those books with that show is unforgivable. I implore anyone who has seen the show to understand that it has NOTHING to do with the books. Watching interviews with the show runners of both Mayfair and Interview claiming that they read the books and wanted to "honor" the source material is enraging because they ripped it to shreds, it's unrecognizable character-wise, which is devastating for such character-driven stories.

Thank you for taking a part of your The Crowded Room commentary to praise Tom Holland. Literally after No Way Home, Tom Holland has been very strangely despised by most of the Chinese Internet, the netizens calling him a shitty actor (attributed to the mediocre projects he's involved in since No Way Home and the convoluted and mediocre writing of No Way Home but I personally defend this for the absolute surprise it would bring to moviegoers that watched it with a packed theatre of audience) and criticizing him as a complete hack compared to Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield and even Zendeya. I just hope Tom takes the time to recover and after that, find really good writers and filmmakers that can pull off amazing plots to make his endeavor pay off. And yeah, you are on the nail about 2023 being what is probably the worst year for superhero media, with projects tanking harder and harder financially one after another and even setting new lows for box office records. The same is applicable to the over quality. Secret Invasion, along with Thor: Love and Thunder, is the one of the most disappointing MCU projects, and probably the last straw for a number of fans who wanted MCU to be good. But still, I really wanted MCU to be back in its glory days before the pandemic and I think they can take their time to figure things out in the right way after the colossal creative mismanagement of Phase 4 & 5. The same goes for DCU, I hope James Gunn will pull this off.

I think most criticism I've seen of Tom Holland have mostly been about his choice of projects rather than his acting. Like most/all celebrities, he has his haters (especially among spiderman fans who favor tobey or andrew), but most people who hate his body of work even praised his acting. From all things I've heard about Chinese netizens, they will hate with no impunity. However, for all the haters yell about NWH, it's still the 2nd highest grossing MCU film in the US and 3rd worldwide. I agree about the superhero movies/shows though. I think it was too much too fast. It feels like they just wanted to keep cranking out content instead of really taking the time to craft a good story.

I think the year 2023, by the way, has solidified the fact that generic, formulaic superhero movies is no longer attracting audiences to go see it. I think it would be fantastic if MCU uses the ending of Loki Season 2 to make things better, rework established events and rework the new characters and their development in the grand scheme of things, I would love it. In addition, MCU needs to dramatically slow down its output of content and really differentiate their significance in the franchise; I think the Marvel Spotlight is a good move to avoid confusion, and I think a lot of Phase 4 TV shows should be under this banner. Deadpool will be the only MCU theatrical release next year and I wish it can be as successful as its predecessors. We’ll see!

And that's not mentioning that The Flash has delivered one of the most insulting series finales/final seasons in TV history. I saw the small number of fans who still stick with the show on the Internet and hoped this final season to land ranting with the rage of a thousand suns.

A lot have said that Arrow and The Flash are perfect examples for a How (not) To End A Show video, and I agree. With Superman and Lois distancing from the Arrowverse with one of the original showrunners of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, one of the few Arrowverse shows I like, got canceled on a cliffhanger because Warner Brothers did not want to pay the rent of the set anymore, this last official season of the franchise ends with a wimp that is just embarrassing. Arrowverse was such a big part of my teenage years but it ended with the sound of wind. Fan-fucking-tastic!

Eric Wallace was showrunner for the last 4 seasons of this show; I would argue that the Bloodwork arc was a fluke for Eric probably because that was a leftover idea from Todd for the Crisis setup.

CW tv shows are such a disaster. Assuming it doesn’t get cancelled, they can’t end a single show of their own volition without running themselves in circles and driving the story into the ground. They wait until the whole fanbase is begging for the show to die before they end it.

100% agree. FTWD was good for S1-3. It wasn't perfect back then and the plots were minimal, but the character writings were 10/10. Everyone has their own internal struggles and all of their actions ultimately led into an ending nobody guessed (in S3 especially). It's also a good move to decide the teenagers were not that dependant to their parents and thus, making rocky relationship among them. In fact, I believed S4 supposedly about Alicia and Nick vs Madison. These two siblings were so good at bonding and leading new group of people. Their mother though, was a straightforward no risk taker. And thus, causing half their problems worsened. S4,5,7,8 were just shit writing and delusional way of living in post apolyptic world per Morgan persuation. S6, is a mix of equally good and bad storytelling. It's a waste potential really. Especially with how amazing acting most the actors could do...

FTWD isn't only one of the worst series of 2023, but this show basically did something very unforgivable to FTWD fanbase. The showrunners were literally committed the worst crime possible, REPLACING the main characters. They kicked Madison's actor out of the show in a very unprofessional way and killed Nick in a very dumb way, leaving only Alicia and their main group to be led by the replacement, Morgan. The result? All of the character good writings went out of the window and the plots became redundantly general, boring, and stupid. In case u want to know, Alicia, Victor, Daniel, and Luciana already had the base for their characterization well established. They were all flawed characters with good redeeming quality and they DEFINITELY DID NOT need Morgan to lead them. It's a shame what the showrunners had done to them. The writings were just dumb really. It's also a shame they forced Alicia's actress to continue with the show despite her having other responsibilities for other shows (work contracts). And the showrunners didn't allow her to leave cause they knew Alicia is the only main reason the majority of their fans are still around. Yes, this was true. The remaining fanbase literally threatened the showrunners to not kill Alicia off in any way. She's the only one who carried the Clark legacy. Until finally at the end of S7, they decided to get Madison's actress back just so an original Clark can replace her. Resulting in S8 became a huge mess with their bad writings. I felt really bad for Kim Dickens and Alycia Debnam Carey honestly.

Citadel, The Flash, and some of these I'm sure don't even deserve to be in the same league.

FTWD is so painful because Erickson had a spectacular vision for the show that could've even surpassed the main show. Gimple and the writers should be ashamed because they ran the show to the ground omg.

I really really liked the first 2 seasons of FTWD and Nick is one of my favorite protagonists ever, so that is sad to hear

I have no idea how the CW never did a buffy reboot.

We’re just lucky, I guess.

For me, the worst TV show of 2023 was easily Netflix's Queen Cleopatra (2023).

The Crowded Room was already in some controversy due to the real story its based on In case for anyone wants to know I'll say what it is, in case you want to watch it for yourself then don't continue the comment so this will be your warning For those who want to know it's based off the case of Billy Milligan, a serial r*pist who has Dissociative Identity Disorder which of course caused controversy due to this show being based off this specific story which i understand. Out of all people with DID to make a show off of why a r*pist? Now i am not arguing against making flawed characters who are neurodivergent but seriously......i feel bad for DID folks who have to deal with alot of awful rep in media

I really liked it!! Are you going to do a similar video about the movies of 2023?

I had no idea that the flash even ended this year. I used to be really into this series so its a little sad to see it go out like this. I wish more studios could be prepared to let their shows end on a high rather than dragging it out and ending when they had just ran out of steam years ago.

I don’t know if I remember this correctly but the writers of the flash left after season 1. Which makes sense. Cuz even though S1 isn’t perfect it’s like a masterpiece compared to anything after it. Parts of it were actually really good

I will forever be upset that Fear The Walking Dead fell victim to corporate involvement and decided to make it steer off its original story for the sake of a connected universe. I felt bad for the actors who invested in their characters from the 1st season, only for it to all be thrown away after season 3 and rebooted.

Since you showed footage of it for, like, three seconds, I would be interested in your thoughts on Cruel Summer Season Two because to me it did some things better and some things worse. Like, I think it builds characterization a bit more, at least for the main three and maybe the mom, and overall the themes feel more consistent and its big final moment doesn't feel completely out of nowhere (plus I have to give credit to Griffin Gluck for being the Olivia Holt of the season and I'm glad he's escaped Tall Girl), but at the same time the mystery just doesn't feel quite as compelling as the first season and, if season one was too long, this season is definitely too long, I watched it a couple of months ago and there's like two significant moments I remember between episodes three and six. It's also now been cancelled which was a little disappointing since I think the format still has more stories worth telling and I hope at some point we get more, whether directly or through something that takes inspiration from it. Until then though, I would still be curious about your thoughts on it.

Please, please, please, please do a video on how large of a step down season 2 of cruel summer was from season 1. I saw footage from it in the honorable mentions and got excited to hear your thoughts cuz I love your season 1 video!

i would like to hear your thoughts about Russian doll both season 1 and 2. I finished season 1 and absolutely loved it and was honestly hesitant to watch the second season fearing it would either ruin or add absolutely nothing to the first. After watching it I honestly dont know how to feel and havent seen many people talk about it

NUMBER 9 OBSESSION pissed me off. I also clicked into it thinking it was fun thriller. I felt like I was being punished 😭

Huh… I really liked the Crowded Room. And I literally fall asleep halfway through an episode of something I’m not enjoying (I became a dad this year, it’s tiring). I quite liked the slow pace of the show personally and think if they’d rushed it or condensed it into a movie you’d lose a lot of the character study.

My friend made me watch the whole of Velma with him. I truly suffered. Made me question our friendship.

This video is a perfect example of why I don’t trust when my dad recommends me something. 4/10 shows on this list are things that he has told me are “so good” (The Flash, Fear the Walking Dead, Secret Invasion, Gotham Knights).

Seeing that Velma came out this year was a genuine shock for me. I don't know if this makes me feel old or just really damn forgetful

time just moves by so fast. i thought it was last year. i guess it will be last year in a few days

If you would be so kind, could you tell me what that background music you have playing in number 8 (Secret Invasion) is?

I know its old by now, and not quite the type of show you typically cover, but I would love to see you do a video on the Bates Motel tv show. I think its suits your style of video essays.

I tried starting it twice but wasn't really in the mood for that kind of story in either of them. Do you think it's a good show? I do want to check it out, but I've never heard a lot of people talk about it, and five seasons seem like an awful lot of time to develop a "unstable boy becomes insane man" story.
