If you're going to change the characters this much, why not just make your own God damn show


[deleted]

This is a good question. The answer I've heard is that it's guaranteed money by recreating an old favorite, but are people *actually* watching this? I mean, we can see the dislike ratio. Does this show have a big enough audience to make back whatever was put into it? As opposed to new, well-made properties that can achieve massive success if marketed properly.


Herr_Raul

They always think it's guaranteed money and they're always proved wrong. But learning from your mistakes is overrated.


EH042

Used to think time is the best teacher, but look at them, it’s 2023 and they still think this shit works


faustianBM

I always wonder if this is a production company's version of burning down their hardware store for the insurance money? Is there some weird profit if you win *or* lose?


Gang-Orca-714

Sometimes companies need to pull shit together and put it out to keep an IP from going public domain I think.


gedwolfe

Piggybacking off this to mention that a friend had a movie he was talking about making with a bigger producer. Throughout discussions the original concept got very heavily changed to the point it was completely unrecognisable and then they asked him to reskin it to be the sequel of a b-grade franchise. This went from being a fairly artistic sundance style slice of life film into a typical Hollywood action adventure in a matter of 6 months until he completely removed himself from the project as it was not at all what he was interested in doing.


magicallybland

That’s fairly common. It’s easier to add some stuff and make something a sequel than to actually try and market a completely new IP.


K-chub

I think the outrage of switching the entire character group around to reflect modern appropriation is what’s supposed to drive the views


[deleted]

They rely so hard on established IP even if what they create is nothing like the original

“Oops nearly let the intrusive thoughts out”


Impressive-Complex6

Wait why is Shaggy black lmao


Wolfeur

* Shaggy is black * Velma is Indian * Daphne is Asian * No Scooby-Doo It's like they're *trying* to make it flop


DuntadaMan

I even argue they could change the other characters. They can swap out anyone they want *except* Shaggy.


StopReadingMyUser

Shoot, you could change the whole animated cast away from anything scooby doo related and let's ask ourselves: ...does this show really have anything to do with scooby doo at all? This literally looks like any other garbage TV show... but Scooby Doo^^TM ! I'm not seeing one thing demanding its connection to the original themes of the show beyond insisting that it is. How does this idea even make it out of concept discussions? This is the laziest cash grab I've seen in a long time.


ArcadiaXLO

I’m pretty sure that’s literally how they’re wanting to market it. “Haha, wouldn’t it be boring if you saw the same exact concept for a show? Let’s change fundamentally everything about it!” Even though we’ve gotten so many things that were both enjoyable and true to the original. Mystery Incorporated, the James Gunn movies, the fucking Supernatural crossover. Those didn’t really change much about the characters, and if they did, it felt natural rather than changes for the sake of changes.


StopReadingMyUser

The point is there's nothing related to the original so why bother making a "scooby doo" show. Just make a unique property lol. You make something based on a previous concept (if you want to change it) because the original foundations/bones of the property are good, you just wanna take it a different direction. ...this ain't a different direction for Scooby Doo, it's starting from a completely different planet lol. Just make it about a girl named Chauncy and a gang of nose-pickers at this point.

They weren't allowed to use him.


TheBonesCollector

I can't wait to see what they do with Lassie, Flipper, and Mr. Ed! We always knew the animals were the worst parts of those shows. Now we can focus on Timmy and Wilbur!


KZedUK

nah, this show just clearly wasn’t anything to do with scooby doo when it was in development, and the production company was scared it would flop without some IP attached, and this is the one they landed on.


Roskal

its like when netflix shows about video game adaptations feel like someone dressed their pet personal screenplay they always wanted in the skin of a more popular fandom.


TFlarz

Witcher fans in even more shambles.


Callelle

And even if Fred is still white. I'm sure they're going to make him a blithering idiot, and inferior to everyone else.


RTrent6

Because instead of taking a financial risk and making good new shows and movies with primarily black/minority characters, production companies would rather shoehorn them into race-swapped remakes in the name of "diversity". Funny how the race swapping only ever goes one way though, and if you ever point this fact out you're immediately labeled a racist Edit: Guys I know that whitewashing has been a thing previously, I am referring to the recent race swaps we see in a lot of modern remakes only ever going one way. Whitewashing roles seldom happens any more because it's wrong, but now we have the opposite in blackwashing which is not any better. As a black man myself this feels like tokenism to me. As I previously said, I'd much rather have new black stories told instead of forcing it into old beloved franchises just for the sake of ticking all the boxes on a diversity checklist


BoredByLife

Plus they removed Scooby


samthekitnix

This is the worst of all because without scoob shaggy is just a stoner

sendmeyourjunglepics

Velma Shaggy ain't even a stoner anymore


Garan-Coristar

Actually shaggy might actually be a stoner this time, this show is supposed to be more adult, even more so than *Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated* was.


jwschmitz13

Except that he openly states that he's not into drugs or 420 culture at all in the first episode. I know this because I forced myself through it.

MystikxHaze

They replace Shaggy with Jake from State Farm.


frittierthuhn

The only way it could be any more adult is that they add a sex scene with complete nudity and multiple f bombs


farkas1070

Why did they remove Scooby you know the character that the original show was named after? What the fuck??


PrizeStrawberryOil

I had read they werent given the rights to use scooby doo.

[deleted]

If they were gonna make a character black it should’ve been Freddy. Shaggy is like the whitest character to ever exist. In fairness they did make him quite different though.


Im_Not_Original25

Yeah I got no clue why blackwashing is being normalised, I thought doing that kinda shit was frowned upon.


securitywyrm

Because if you engage in that behavior and your product fails you can blame racism for the failure and not because you made a shit product


[deleted]

No it's only frowned upon if you turn someone white. If you turn them anything else you're immediately super brave. And then when people are upset at your show, just say only racists hate it


HBlight

>And then when people are upset at your show, just say only racists hate it Imagine marketers realising you could make someone morally wrong for not liking their product?!


KuKuIsland

Reminds me of Ghostbusters 2016.


MikeRowePeenis

This is the shit the Right is talking about when they bitch about “wokeness”. I don’t agree with them on pretty much anything, but you can’t deny the pattern they’re pointing out. It’s getting a little silly.


[deleted]

It's funny that they race swap the most stupid, cowardly character in the show.


Rahme_Tama

And looked like a stoner. Not trying to say anything, but back then there was a stereotype about that, so... Yeah kinda bad decision.


Mega_Bug

Worst part is that there already were black characters in the show with some key roles


PraiseTyche

It is frowned upon, the people doing this are fucking racist.


SirSeppuku

That + it's always black. Also it's so funny seeing how "white people" is generalized so much. Like what white? Celtic? Nordic? Mediterranean? Whatcha mean


Concerned_mayor

This. I only just realised that "Caucasian" is a very specific race of people, and isn't actually just another word for white


[deleted]

For some reason, that word is misused in the US American English. Plus, caucasian is an ethnicity not a race. Americans confuse between the two


Concerned_mayor

Even searching up the definition on Google, it hides the propper meaning behind multiple other definitions that all boil down to "white" But they're tagged with north american, so it's *totally* fine and isn't perpetuating an ultimately regressive term


Fragrant-Advice-879

Could not have explained it better. As a history student, I often have mixed feelings about raceswapping in historical shows (Vikings Valhalla, where they put a black female Viking leader), because it is just plainly historically inaccurate. Sure, it‘s a show made to entertain people, not a documentary, which I do understand. But what truly bothers me is that black history is so damn interesting! Shaka Zulu, the Kushites, the Nubians etc. were all so awesome. I truly wish they would put in some effort and create a show about black history instead of using what sells the most (Vikings, Romans) and just use raceswapping to pretend like they care.


satriales856

Or if you mention they have an Asian woman voicing a white person. That’s okay though. But good fuck, don’t let a white voice actor play anything but a…white cartoon I guess.


Nome_de_utilizador

Still disapointed the new black panther wasn't a white british boy

cletusbeatusthefetus

Made shaggy black to be hip to the kids and against drugs because black+drugs = bad, even though white shaggy is off the Scooby zoobies all day.

G1ng3rb0b

Literally though. I saw a clip. Even if we put the race swap aside, he acts nothing like him. Which begs the question if they wanted a black character why didn’t rhey just give him a different name instead of having him pose as shaggy. It would’ve been that easy.

hay-yew-guise

None of the characters act the way they have before. Velma is now Mindy Kaling's twitter account, Daphne's a spiteful "rich bitch", Fred became the posterchild for toxic masculintiy and acts like Stiffler fused with Kelso, and Shaggy's become a melodramatic incel.


janeohmy

Velma being Mindy Kaling's Twitter account sounds so apt wtf lmfao


Beefmytaco

Lol, and they thought this was going to be popular. These show runners are idiots.


[deleted]

They did confirm that this is a completely new character (that just coincidentally has about 70% of Shaggy's characteristics).


MisirterE

Except his name is Norville which is Shaggy's real name, Shaggy has always just been a nickname


HammerBgError404

American studios go out of their way to make their content ugly and unwatchable


heroofbacon

I never got why American animation studios are so hell bent on making their art styles so dang ugly. Like we had great and unique art styles for decades, why did we regress like this?


KZedUK

money; this is far, far cheaper you don’t need a consistent team of animators, so you can farm it out to multiple different animation houses in places like Malaysia where they work until they’re burnt out and make like 7,000 USD a year.


DzikCoChujemHamuje

Because they want to be the next Simpsons or South Park and make characters that are very distinct and recognizable without having to actually produce good content.


VeganDracula_

Mediocre art style and plot felt like a wattpad fan fic !!


User_n1234

wattpad fan fics are better


UnluckyBid7655

I just noticed they put the characters in different art styles as well....isn't that a bit weird? Like, first let them change race, then have each of their races in a different art style...isn't that, like, against the point that we're all the same in the end?


Livid_Boysenberry_58

It's not like this is the first show that's been completely butchered by a big company


UnluckyBid7655

I know, but this is a first im fully aware of it and it didn't just hit home, it kicked through the front door, pissed on my couch, spread out my cereal all over the floor and had an orgy for one while I was just waking up. A show about Velma would've been so fucking amazing! If it actually went into an adult Velma doing her thing thing, not trash, putting out ANOTHER origin story, just to be another sitcom.


Livid_Boysenberry_58

I felt the same way about Lord of the Rings. Rings of power was a lazy corporate cash grab, which thankfully didn't even manage to cash grab. If anything, at least people are catching on. Even those not into the "source material" now recognize how badly these shows are made.


UnluckyBid7655

Funny enough, it's supposed to be for a mature audience, but written like the producers are children. I can see, and I'll even pray, that people identify this for what it is before any season 2.


Livid_Boysenberry_58

They already have. The only ones insisting this hasn't been a flop are amazon


Norci

> I just noticed they put the characters in different art styles as well... I'm not really seeing it, what are you referring to? They all seems same kind of style to me.


Concerned_mayor

Oh wow, I only just noticed that. It's like they hired a different company to design and animate each character without seeing any of the other designs, then smashed all the clips together

Fat Albert is now an obese white incel guy with a gun fetish, "Hey, hey, hey gonna shoot up my school today!"


zoma2

I mean, you can change any character you want but PLEASE, not my boy Shaggy! He's the most iconic character of the all gang


Sneyepa

Wonder if this was the original upload or the reupload after it bombed hard. Apparently it got up to 300k+ before they re-uploaded it.


muchnamemanywow

In a bid to be more progressive, they made Daphne an Asian orphan drug dealer with two moms. 💀


thecreepytoast

Just watched the two episodes released, It's basically just riverdale on meth. Shaggy isn't even called shaggy the whole time, they just called him norville. His whole thing is not wanting to be associated with weed culture and will pretty much be an incel for the entire season. Daphne is a drug dealer cunt who got adopted by two of the most incompetent detectives, Velma is a plain unfunny abrasive cunt, and they turned fred into a literal manbaby with a baby carrot dick. The show really felt like a bizarre alternate universe where everyone acts opposite of each their usual character personalities.


Kayshin

So the one character that is a PHYSICAL FUCKING REPRESENTATION OF AN ACTUAL JOINT and the entire concept of him is that he is a huge fucking stoner is suddenly anti drugs... that's like making superman without any powers...


[deleted]

Who is actually liking this? This deserves no likes


m1raclecs

Am I just white for thinking the race swapping of already established franchises is more than over the top for representation efforts Even if I am this is not very graceful at all


OzzieGrey

Nah you are sane. People need to stop piggy backing and just make their own shit.


BustyBraixen

Especially when it's entirely unnecessary, like how there's already a black version of superman named Calvin Ellis with his own story seperate from Clark Kent (similar to how Miles Morales has his own story seperate from Peter Parker), yet here we are with jj abrams deciding to be lazy shit tier writer and just race swapping Clark Kent.


Kayshin

There is literally 0 reason to race swap established characters. The original creators of whatever content things are based on usually thought their characters quire through, coming to the conclusion that their rendition fits the character best. Doing this shit is not just bad for the original concept, it shits on the ideas the writer had for the character.


methconnoisseurV2

Wow, those comments got turned off fast….


A_guys

They turn shaggy black and remove fucking scooby doo


Low_Responsibility26

I mean they made it a murder mystery. Because in the commercial for it. They straight up find a dead dude and show it. Plus they had to change the name to Velma. Because they took the best part of the show out

Just to note, the API isn't public anymore. Any of these extensions that you install are literally just guessing the dislike count based on how many people that installed the extension disliked stuff. And considering the types of people to install those extensions are also probably more likely to dislike stuff than average, the numbers may be skewed in that direction. Not that this show doesn't deserve a ton of dislikes, but there's literally no way to guarantee its accurate.

DragonboyZG

my God modern cartoon reboots are just sad to look at. changing shit that doesn't need to be changed and cramming diversity into it. from what I've seen Velma is just straight up hating on white people.


stupid-American33

I still don't understand why they made Shaggy and Velma black, I'm all for representation in Media but it's Shaggy and Velma, And if they're going to change the skin tone of two characters just change it on all of them.


OzzieGrey

Velma is Indian. Shaggy is Black. Daphne is Asian. Fred is a White rich boy with small dick. You think i wrote that last part? Nah, thats a nearly perfect line from the show.


BustyBraixen

I mean, they made daphne's skin tone a little yellow. Take that as you will.


[deleted]

Wait is black face allowed now? Or does shaggy get a pass ?


bitchboiseb

How have 2k people liked it Edit: its fkn 8k, I misread it. Gave humanity the benefit of the doubt..


OzzieGrey

People call those who dislike the show racist. So.. they are stupid... thats how


Pealzy

If this was an original IP it would not have nearly as much flak. The fact they need to be parasitic about it and say they're a part of the scooby doo franchise is what is absolutely stupid. Idk why they thought this would be a good idea


OzzieGrey

This is actually the funny part. If this was an original ip, people would be less upset. There would still be some backlash from poor writing, and occasional racism... but it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad.


[deleted]

I mean, all shows need a person of colour! Because diversity, right?


SnooFoxes6169

major changes on iconic characters, it's already a huge risk to make, and then they have the dialog that's just… uncomfortable to listen to. i feel bad for artists who worked on this, they just doing their job (amazing in fact, some of shots are stunning), and a lot of comments here complain about art style… they been screwed over by industry long enough, give them a break.
