What are they honestly aiming for?

What is the point or the purpose of doing this??

whoever thought they should make the guy who's historically stereotyped as a lanky, somewhat lazy stoner who plays basketball into a raceswapped black guy should have thought about that a little harder before committing to it

theyre farming impressions

I was honestly going to say the exact same thing, cept I didn't feel like typing that much atm. Have a heart.

On the house.

norville 😭

why they change his name?

Plus Shaggy is terrified of ghosts. Isnt that lowkey sus and racist

Seems like this is just a different character to me. New name and all

Imagine a white ghost chasing this "Norville" character

All the ghosts needs is a pointy head and we can call it a day.

You just described half of my friends

nah that's actually his real name

if it was an original character i dont think itd be weird esp if they wanted to like idk have someone like wiz khalifa voice him but looking at a cast and planning to race-swap all the characters and being like "yeah pick the stoner who plays basketball to make black" is wild

kelly from the office is directing this show so idc tbh

Praise Black Jesus

Anyone who cares what a fictional character's race is and if it's different than previous iterations of said fictional character, needs to immediately jump off a cliff.

fake scooby doo fans exposing themselves not knowing shaggy's real name. im sick

But thats not it at all man. Just what is the purpose of doing it.

Like are you trying to break the moral barrier?? You think this is some "woah the world is changing" acceptance type thing.

Or "our network supports the african american movement"

Its just something so unnecesary like gender bathrooms.

What was the purpose of making him white originally?

Why aren't you mentioning Velma is South Asian and Daphne is Asian. They are the same race as their voice actors. Its a f***ing cartoon they can be whatever the f*** the showrunner decides.

Its only "unnecessary" because morons who think like this don't comprehend that not everything has to be exactly how it was made before. There isn't some grand moral soap-boxing going on here. Its a cartoon.

It says Norville

Yeah let's make a George Washington movie with an Asian actor next. And let's also make an 8 mile part 2 movie with Jimmy being Irish.

Thats Shaggys real name

SHAGGY IS AND WAS NOT A REAL PERSON, EVER
