Because "Fred Jones but black" is pretty much Carlton Banks XD

That felt like it was trying too hard to call people out. Instead of just being its own thing.

I've watched a lot of Scooby Doo as a kid, and I didn't know any of their full names. I don't think it's as common knowledge as you think.
I can only speak for myself, but I knew all their full names through the Scooby-Doo stuff I watched as a kid

Get the feeling some people are going to expose how sore they are by the ribbing in this trailer.

We'll see how this series goes.

Trailer is funny and Im gonna check out the show.

But I swear to God (or, Janitor Albert in a Yahweh mask) the show better be more than just "haha we're a reboot making fun of reboot conventions" or I'm going to write a Jinkies-worded letter to HBO <_<

Edit: wait, this is too meta. Didnt Scream already do a horror reboot parody? And they're riffing Scream in the trailer, and Scream riffed horror

Jesus Christ it's parodies all the way down

The ribbing is honestly dishonest.

It's not about simply "never changing anything, ever", these changes are specifically about "diversity and representation". That's almost always why race, sexuality and gender changes are done to popular characters (especially when it's from an "oppressor" to "oppressed"). To say otherwise is to literally lie or just... be wrong.

I don't know why they would lie or get this wrong tbh. You're openly mocking these people and taking a stance on this issue, why not just go all-in and have Velma say "if there's one thing that the Internet agrees on, it's that diversity is bad!" instead?

It just came to my attention that this series is a prequel set before Velma joined the Scooby Doo Crew.

That makes it a bit odd that they would change the ethnic backgrounds of Shaggy and Daphne in a prequel. Is the final episode going to have a cosmic hiccup where a Black man and an Asian woman suddenly become White? (What is their explanation for the younger versions of the characters in A Pup Named Scooby Doo?)

I'm not bothered by inclusive casting, but it seems like they would have had more to gain from making these original characters. That way, they could have returned in future movies or spinoffs. If the next live action Scooby Doo movie has a Black Shaggy and an Asian Daphne, I'm cool with it. It just seems a bit odd to do a race change in a prequel.

But hey, Asian redhead Daphne. Rule 34 artists, get thee to work!

Next you're gonna tell me that Scooby is a cat.

That would be silly.
A black and a white person are of the same species.
A cat and a dog are not.

Yeah I agree, if you mess with scooby doo lore by changing their races you better make sure you fix it, or else the rest of the story wont make sense

Maybe the plot twist is that they are different characters and Velma's old friends happened to be named Shaggy and Daphne.

I take it by all the posts here that none of you lot have ever watched an episode of Scooby-Doo in your lives right?

The full names of the gang have been known since it started. Their full names are:

Frederick Jones
Velma Dinkley
Daphne Blake
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers
Scoobert-Doo

All I can say about the new look Shaggy is "Jeepers" and "Zoinks"!

Thanks to Rob Lowe on Saturday Night Live, Shaggy will always be Warren "Shaggy" Shagowski to me.

All series and movies are not connected.
Just look at Scooby Goes Hollywood, where they remember how they got Scoob and his first birthday. They were not kids in those flashbacks, thereby A Pup Named Scooby Doo cant exist in that universe.

I remember hearing Shaggy and Scooby's names from an episode where they met Scooby's mother. She called him Scoobert, and Shaggy was laughing at him, so Scooby just looked back at him and said "Norville". Shaggy was like "That's low, man..." lol

Also people not knowing Shaggy's real name is are openly admitting to never watching A Pup named Scooby Doo.
More like it's been 20 or more years since we watched it. I know I don't remember much about it, lol.
