Fans Bring In &#8216;Velma&#8217; Into Conversation as Mindy Kaling Complaints About New Writers Being “Poached  by Marvel”

The most important component of any show or film is the writers. The way they
bring in their view with the story and give the audience the fullest experience
is an art. Mindy Kaling recently talked about working with them and how much she
enjoyed it. However, she talked about how MCU poach them as well. As she spoke
about it, fans brought in the recent work of the actress, Velma.

Recently, Kaling received the PGA Norman Lear Achievement Award. B.J. Novak
presented the award to her former The Office co-star while reminiscing about the
good old days and praising Kaling

Dinkley. The Office star served as an executive producer and the voice of the
main character, Velma. The animated show got mixed reviews and got a 1.5/10 IMDb
rating. Fans called her out for creating the show.


FANS CALLED OUT MINDY KALING AS SHE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MCU

When the 43-year-old actress and producer called out the Marvel Cinematic
Universe for poaching up-and-coming writers, fans couldn’t bear it. They called
her out by asking why she created the animated show, with some sharing that they
didn’t like the show. Another user even said working for MCU was better than
wasting their talent on Velma. Meanwhile, some fans defended the actress.
