Xactly. That is way out of pocket. Too edgy. Which is why I think they're playing around doing some creative marketing or something. Attacking your own audience only works if your audience *aren't* already on edge, or that they know beforehand that a roast is coming.
I mean, THE BOYS *regularly* attacks YOU the audience by making you to be a parody of dumb, toxic superhero-obsessed consumers who are into politics, who gets their truths from either the internet or celebrities. **But it works for the most part** because it also tells stories that respects their audience.
Making VELMA to just be full of edge with no point seems to be a massive FLEX and bullying as if saying "we own your fave character and we're making changes I know you don't like. What you gonna do about it? NOTHIN!"
It's so bizzare and mean-spirited that I don't want to believe they're actually that petty.

Scummy af. Which is why I think they're playing some kind of 4D chess at 4 parallel universes.
