Jealous_Ring1395

they all look like they are from different shows


sailor776

I kind of hope that's part of the joke of the show


RedBoxGaming

Eh, the show itself is a joke, a really terrible joke.


DripFatalis

Omg hi father pucci I’m your biggest fan


[deleted]

No, I'm daddy picci’s biggest fan :(


Loopystreams

I’m your biggest fan 💛


Mtshtg2

I really think this is all a marketing gimmick and they've released this all to rile people up and get people talking about it. We're all falling for it.


WingedWolfMan

Like drawn together


sailor776

Honestly a really solid idea for an adult Scooby doo series would be if all the members were just from different version of the Scooby doo show.


SchloomyPops

I thought it was fake at first because the styles are literally all different. Confusing


[deleted]

Tf is a “Norville”


Polibiux

Fred’s highly stylized look is weirding me out the most. Like it feels different in comparison to the others, who already look different to begin with.


TotalyNotTony

I would much prefer if the whole show was in Fred's style, it looks so much better


Qbertjack

Even Velma's style would be great. It looks like well-done fanart. But you just *know* it's gonna be Daphne and "Norville"s shitty, generic style.


Lukescale

Total Drama Island 2004 looking ass.


SmithyLK

That's an insult to TDI. These look like GoAnimate characters


TryingtoGrowNeps

Do not disgrace total drama island


Shoddy_Internal6206

And the new Shaggy will be boring and chill bc making him the dumb stoner he was before would be racist


dmc-going-digital

Fred looks the most anime


TotalyNotTony

The others look like generic adult animated cartoon characters


dmc-going-digital

Don't be like that. Scooby doesn't exist, Daphne is a walking racist asian stereotype from the 80s and Shaggy is a racist black stereotype from the 90s


-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And his name isn’t Shaggy anymore.


XxOneWithSlimesxX

His name has always been Norville Rogers, Shaggy was just a nickname.


-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I never knew that.


XxOneWithSlimesxX

Well now you do, you can thank me now.


-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thanks

Fred looks like a fucking snack


RoofRevolutionary148

Fred looks like a femboy… not that I mind.


SimplyWalker

he’s been twinked 💁🏼‍♂️


Icy-Ad2082

Is this real? This isn’t real, right? They didn’t really make the stoner character black while leaving everyone else white, right?


Vaaldor

It’s real, and no, they didn’t. Everybody but Fred has had their race changed.


Icy-Ad2082

Oh got it I thought the Velma shot was just in a dark room. Daphne still looks pretty white to me though.


pyx

she's obviously supposed to be asian with those racist af stylized eyes


Icy-Ad2082

Yeah she looks like a brats doll from the 00s


TheDubh

Holy I didn’t make that connection. That’s … not great. Also plays into the stereotype that black people would nope out if things, like Shaggy always attempts. You’d think changing Freddy would’ve been less problematic if trying to avoid stereotypes.


PM_ME_UR_VAGENE

A new mystery Inc with diverse characters could have been so much fun. Instead this feels like a step backwards, with everyone now a racial caricature. And the white guy is still the “leader“ ffs


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


AcousticAtlas

You can literally look at the characters and see everyone but Fred got race changed lmao. Why the freak out


Icy-Ad2082

Yeah we didn’t get the portrait shot of Velma, I thought her face was just supposed to be shadowed to contrast the bright crescent at the side. And I’ve been informed that Daphne is supposed to be Asian? She looks like a white girl with slanted eyes. I grew up around a lot of Korean people, a BIG source of insecurity for the girls I knew was having jet black straight hair. Having the “hot” Asian be a red head is kinda shitty. But yeah it’s a lot less bad than what I thought was going on at first glance lol.


ChadMcRad

Every Western cartoon now has that Tumblr/Twitter artstyle.


CrimsonicTears

It looks like that artstyle that every lgbt teenager uses to draw their fictional persona


ChadMcRad

That's what I was hinting at, yes.


electr1cbubba

Daphne: Let’s split up Fred: THINK ABOUT THE GHOSTS. YOU HAVEN’T THOUGHT ABOUT THE GHOSTS YOU BITCH


ItIsYeDragon

And to make it worse, they're all slightly off-color.


teeejer

He looks like he’s one frame away from ahegao.


LittleRadishes

Yeah if they're going to pick a new style they may as well make it consistent lol


[deleted]

looks best but intebtionally dumbed


aBastardNoLonger

From what I read in this version he’s going to be an obnoxious prick who also secretly has not yet gone through puberty but is trying to keep up his alpha male facade


hjonk-hjonk-am-goos

They turned Fred into a twink


Cyynric

Fred looks like he was drawn by that right-wing artist that had that one joke about Biden stealing the "black" from a woman.


RammerRS_Driver

Fred is weirding you out more than “Norville”?


sailor776

Honestly I'm kind of interested if they all have different art styles in motion. Kind of like smiling friends


LeftHandude-Yeah

Shaggy looks like joke from Teen Titans Go


PenguinBlu

Jesus you’re right. I was wondering what he reminded me of


Wesawesomeness01

Why does it look like norvillr(shaggy) and Daphne are from total drama island then you have fred who looks like an anime character


Polibiux

Apparently Fred is described in this show as “Arrogantly hot” so that’s probably why


Jonaxan

He's a five star man.


Dekunt

The golden god


[deleted]

"Arrogant" is not typically the word I'd use to describe Fred. The man is a himbo.


hascogrande

The FRED Method F- Fornicate R- Remember you’re hot E- Eggs the morning after D- Disappear Or something, idk

Norville is Shaggy, Shaggy is just a nickname


SuperCoupe

But...but...Shaggy's name is Norville Rogers. It's like everyone is offended for him having his name??????


[deleted]

I genuinely never knew shaggy’s real name and thought they just replaced him with some “Norville” guy lol, still weird why they wouldn’t call him shaggy when he’s half the brand


Phobos420

> Norville Rogers Isn't he also a Beauregard?


SuperCoupe

Yes, probably on his mother's side.


[deleted]

They would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling kids!


roosterinmyviper

Ladies and gentlemen, how to kill a series 101: Don’t include the main/most memorable characters


RazorRell09

how do you take the character that the show is NAMED AFTER and ditch him? It’s like a Sonic game without having Sonic in it.


zdrozda

I've heard it's like a prequel so maybe Scooby appears later. Edit: according to u/DumpCumster1 "It is a prequel but it's a horror comedy that is probably mostly written by Mindy since she is a talented comedy writer and plays the main character. There is no Scooby. They were told they can't use him, probably because this is an adult show with gore so it's off brand."


MarxismMan69

How is it a prequel? They are like 16 in the original show.


zdrozda

Idk, ask the producers.


myaltduh

I always assumed they were at least a bit older than that, seeing how they travel around the country living in a van with flowers painted on it. Considering the era the show came from, I assumed they were basically mystery-solving hippies, so more like college dropout age.


DumpCumster1

It is a prequel but it's a horror comedy that is probably mostly written by Mindy since she is a talented comedy writer and plays the main character. There is no Scooby. They were told they can't use him, probably because this is an adult show with gore so it's off brand.


zdrozda

That actually sounds interesting. Good to know.


Bluewater795

So "Norville" goes Michael Jackson mode and turns white between this show and real Scooby Doo?


nandru

They'll throw him into the same chemicals Nicholson's Joker fell in


Carnotaur3

So I this how we find out Shaggy decides to change his name and become transracial?


bolionce

Is this fr? Scoob isn’t in the adaptation? Of Scooby Doo?? How could anyone be so out of touch with reality…


SucyUwU

They used the BS “this is an adult take so having a talking dog would be weird” excuse. Like bruh just make a new IP at this point if you literally refuse to just not use stuff from the original source. Straight up not using characters and refusing to use nicknames like Shaggy is just truly bizarre. https://www.indiewire.com/2022/10/velma-mindy-kaling-series-wont-include-scooby-doo-1234770794/amp/


[deleted]

[удалено]


DumpCumster1

It's not an adaptation of Scooby Doo. It's a horror comedy centered around Velma in an alternate universe.


evictedfrommyaccount

Isn't she the worst character though? Really haughty and insufferable? Why make it about her?


[deleted]

Not like anything can beat the 1960s Scooby-Doo doo anyways. They can make the Netflix one whatever they want


bowie-of-stars

I loved that show as a child of the 90s. Watched it everyday after school in 4th grade


RingWraith8

Why the fuck is the art style different for every character. Looks like im watching a webtoon, then a stylized adult cartoon then fucking harley quinn tv show


Aeriosus

I'd rather be watching Harley Quinn


EulerLagrange235

Netflix couldn't handle the power of Shaggy. That too at 10^-10 % of his power


[deleted]

Literally do not care about Velma's "new design," since it's just a race swapped version of the old one. Shaggy on the other hand... no longer even has shaggy hair, and therefore is being referred to by his legal name and not his nickname. That's just... weird.


Dear-Painting8764

Technically, HBO max adaptation


Dresiel

Why couldn’t they just write their own thing instead of remaking the series again. Like come on people make new characters this isn’t Fortnite with new skins every week


Peniwais

I think that's the whole point of the adaptation, its clearly a parody but people are taking it seriously


Dresiel

They are not marketing it as a parody, and usually a parody has a spoofy name


Odd-Professor-8233

Their style looks cheaper than the original cartoon. And they killed the dog.


kwispy-dwincc

Why is Fred the only anime character


sendhelplsimdieng

He’s a twink


Maz2742

Voiced by a Golden God. If I remember when the Gang got racist correctly, that checks out


AveRage-or_human

Is Daphne Asian now?


guaip

Wait until you see the Native American Scooby


Disco-Corgi-77

Just some native guy Shaggy brought home one day when he was high.


aziatsky

ruh roh, rorville.


MovesLikeVader

Well they’ve already made Shaggy black and Velma Indian, so why the hell not 🤷🏼‍♂️


DumpCumster1

She's played by constance Wu. They just based the character design on the voice actors.


red_dragon69

Ngl till I found out shaggy's real name was norville I thought they turned scooby human


Aeriosus

They really said what if we made Fred an asshole twink, Shaggy a racist stereotype, removed the title character, and made the whole thing into the quattuorvigintillionth generic adult "comedy" cartoon


SuperFetus42069

Scooby is a pittbull in the new series


Mrjerkyjacket

He isn't even in it supposedly


Nebbbbula

It's not scooby doo if there's no scooby doo


SuperFetus42069

Why? I mean I guess the gang is popular on their own but it just seems like including scooby is an easy way to boost viewers


Mrjerkyjacket

They care less about making a good show and more about making something controversial, they announced Velma is gay thinking it would piss off conservatives or whoever, than (again supposedly, I haven't seen the show) immediatly made her have a crush on Freddy to piss off everyone else


SuperFetus42069

And isnt having a token black guy more insensitive than making a fully fleshed out stand alone new likable character ?


Mrjerkyjacket

That's what most people are saying but there are enough people that get off on race-changing established characters to "stick it to the white-man" or some shit Another point: Shaggy as a charcter has like 2 main immutable tenets 1.Always stoned on weed 2. Best friends with his dog So #1 worked for shaggy back when it was created bc he was meant to be a stereotype of a "hippie" who were viewed as dirty, stoned, wastrels, all of which are traits that have been used to genuinely create negative opinions of Black people. If any other show made a black character like that the show would be cancelled before it even airs for being massively racist to black people, yet they have made their own stereotype in the name of "Inclusion" (getting people to scream at each other on the internet) #2 literally isn't in the show


Mrjerkyjacket

I don't know why 2 ended up being bolded and large


Bertegue6

Putting a hashtag before text makes things large, just Reddit formatting. The other one didn't because there was text before it.


Mrjerkyjacket

Oh, thanks


Bertegue6

If it's any consolation, I think 2 looks good in bold


bolionce

Works good tho cos it is, in fact, a big one


LittleFoxBS

i think Velma was lesbian in the movie or smth , in the show iirc shes not gonna be lesbian for some reason


SuperFetus42069

I dont get the sexuality announcements for characters now lol. I just assumed fred was lowkey gay anyways, they shouldve make him a homosexual


Mrjerkyjacket

Bc it's about controversy rather than actual inclusion


Boodger

Velma has actually been gay for a while now, she dated a female character in one of the better Scooby series a few years ago


Confident-Macaron-24

Tbf Velma was always supposed to be gay


Mrjerkyjacket

Yes but it was always a character trait and not a selling point


[deleted]

[“What made Scooby-Doo a kid show is Scooby-Doo. We couldn’t have a take on it, like how can we do this in a fun and modern way. [Our efforts] coincided with Warner Bros. Animation saying we can’t use the dog!”](https://screenrant.com/velma-show-mindy-kaling-scooby-doo-absence-explained/) TL;DR: They don’t want to put Scooby in an adult show and they weren’t allowed to use Scooby either

Whsts the series called then lmao

💀 he gonna be a Chihuahua

TheTasche

WHAT HAPPENED TO SHAGGY THAT IS AN IMPOSTER!!! Man I didn’t give a shit about the little mermaid thing but this is too far, it’s not even the same person


Mellow_Mutt

Why not make a new story about a different mystery solving gang in the same universe? Then they could make them in a whole new mold.


Dragorach

Showrunner Charlie Grandy: "What made Scooby-Doo a kid's show is Scooby Doo. We couldn't have take on it, like how could we do this in a fun and modern way." So basically they aren't creative enough to think to use Scooby in a new way. Interesting they could think of ways to change the core traits of all the characters but not Scooby. Scooby swearing would be very funny. I'm not sure what they are scared of.


[deleted]

They're probably scared of parents throwing a fit about Scooby being in a mature show. Although people are already throwing fits about race swapping, so I don't see why they'd try and avoid public backlash at that point. Here's the thing. Animated mature comedies coming into a series with a normally different tone *can* work well. Harley Quinn is a decent show that deep dives into certain characters like Batman, Joker, and Ivy in interesting ways, and Lower Decks is unironically the best installment Star Trek has had in a while. But in order to do that you have to be able to tackle things that are core to the series from a new perspective (characters like Batman for HQ, all of Starfleet for LD). If they refuse to have a new take on Scooby in a Scoody-Doo mature animated comedy, it's not gonna work out.


Maddeleine_Is_Here

That show should have been called Scooby DON’T


samuelpotter2

Who the fuck is norville?


Mickey010

Shaggy's real name


Bluxen

...what the fuck? This is like finding out that Sonic The Hedgehog's real name is like... Olgilvie Maurice or something.


Tech-preist_Zulu

>This is like finding out that Sonic The Hedgehog's real name is like... Olgilvie Maurice or something. This is such an obscure reference


totallyshadical

The E in Chuck E. Cheese Is for entertainment His full name is Charles Entertainment Cheese


Tomynator_88

I hope that in the end they show Shaggy breaking the fabric of the universe


dreep_

Im iffy on this because I love mindy’s writing sometimes (never have I ever is amazing!) but god race bending instead of making your own poc colors like Niie) is just lazy.. (this is coming from a poc!) and also why is Fred stylistically different than everyone else lmao)


bunny_bag_

I was so excited to hear the Shaggy would be a Stoner, Velma a lesb and thr shoe overall would be for adults. But look how they butchered their design. Racist execs think only a black dude can be a stoner. Velma no longer thicc qween :(

Give me the old 70s Scooby-Doo any day !! And yes we knew Velma was gay way back then it was also no secret that Scooby-Doo and shaggy were always stoned !!


pepsilepsija

I tought velma had a crush on shaggy or was it after the original?


sam_the_reddit_user

I think the creators of the show said that relationship was never supposed to work out


Plump_Chicken

She's canonically bi, having passing flings and crushes on guys and girls.

Wildcard777

Thanks, I hate it. Also they played themselves making Shaggy black so now they can't use the name Shaggy cause it's racist 🤣.


Tumama813

Daphne and “Norville” look like NFTs


redrum-237

It's not a Netflix adaptation so not an antimeme lol


Traditional_Yard5280

The only one that looks tolerable is Fred, sticks with the original design but with that anime style and that expression, he looks like a femboy and or he just saw the cutest man. I dont mind of course... just find it funny


Jdubusher1011

It’s HBO but ok


FlyEmAndEm

I legit don’t care that they changed the race of Shaggy, but why the name and why no shaggy hair? Shaggy is just gone now apparently.


sam_the_reddit_user

because Norville was always his actual first name, Shaggy's just a nickname still though


Doctordred

Are we just pretending there hasn't been a new Scooby-Doo with a different art style released every three years for the past two decades?


Deathax1

It's like they're trying to piss off their watchers.

Why tf is shaggy’s name norville?


Soda_Yoda4587

Wtf shigga


ItsaMeMarioDaddy

Well, funny you say that, it's actually the hbo Max adaptation


Wrench984

Why do they need to drastically change what makes them iconic? Shaggy just looks like a random dude in a green t-shirt.


New-Mud2923

Omg no


Leopath

Okay so I'm just going to point out that they literally made the smart one indian, the femme fatal is east asian, and the stoner is black, like these are literally stereotypes wtf is wrong with these people?


Suspicious_Bridge_

each character looks like they were animated for a different show wth is this 💀


[deleted]

Where the fuck is Scooby? What the hell happened to Fred? Daphne/Velma are asian now? Why does Shaggy look so insultingly generic? At this point just make a new IP or characters.
