HBO Max just announced the development of a new adult cartoon series called “Velma.”
The president of Warner Bros. Others griped that it seemed contrived to throw a new identity on a familiar character.
“Stop the race swapping,” objected onetweet.

“All it does is divide the fandom and cater to a certain audience.”
AnotherTwitteruser asked, “[W]hy call her Velma if you are making another character?”
The Mystery Begins" (viaIMDb).

Others were just psyched to see Kaling (of “The Office” fame) attached to the series.
One followertweeted, “sorry, Mindy Kaling’s VELMA SERIES?
here for it.”
So it’s conceivable that the new ‘toon has nothing to do with solving mysteries at all.
