Not as meanspirited as Velma I would argue. I agree that some humor of Vox Machina certainly is dark, granted, however, the main characters are not consistently unlikable jerks to everyone else and each other. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough about what I meant by meanspirited in this context.

What’s mean spirited in Velma?
I’m just on episode 3 and I haven’t noticed that yet.
Anyways, the only thing keeping me watching this is the central mystery.
It’s not as funny as the writers think it is so far. Some of the jokes don’t really have a proper punchline.
But as I said, I’m curious enough about the central mystery to keep watching so far. That aspect of the series is fairly well done.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I can see how it could be viewed as mean-spirited. I dont necessarily see it that way but I understand where people are coming from with this.
The series (thus far) does seem a bit hard on Fred.
But since its tied to the central mystery I want to see how it all plays out.
The shower/fight scene, Fred cuts the leg off a random character, how Velma treats Shaggy, how Velma treats her father and how he treats her, how Fred is treated in general, the tone of the jokes in general, Daphne is a hate-filled drug dealer, and the list goes on and on.
