I guess they're trying to imply that part of MI-Velma's problem is that she has body image issues. And, while that issue can be handled tastefully, I'd rather not see Velma be written that way.

Velma has always seemed to be confident/comfortable in her looks. And we already have too few female characters out there who don't fit the Barbie mold as it is. I don't want to see Velma -one of the more famous "mold breakers"- have that kind of self-loathing written into her canon.
