“Dear HBO Max, I just learned you intend to make a genre-bending, comedic origin story of Judy Jetson,” Velma says in the teaser. “When I heard this new version of Judy Jetson wouldn’t be boy crazy, the only word I had to describe my disgust is ‘Jinkies!’ If there is one thing the internet agrees on, it’s that you should never change anything, ever. I hope you die!”
“Well, at least Judy’s still white,” she adds, before a serial killer mysteriously calls, breaks in and makes an appearance.
