This is what the Scooby Doo gang looks like in the HBO Max remake

So the stoner is a black guy. Seems racist.

They'd have been better off just making a whole new show "inspired by" Scooby Doo.

Fred will be neutered. Velma is the leader of the team now. Seriously.

This would change the story ... how?

Personally, I kind of like what Supernatural did with Fred in the crossover episode "ScoobyNatural."



Of course, Velma also put the moves on Sam ....

She's been the one front and center in all the promos, for sure. I thought the color was off on my screen until I realized they'd race-swapped her

Only time I don't mind that for Velma is if it's a hot minority chick doing cosplay

Wouldn't be able to grift off name recognition then.

Calm down, no one recast a BIPOC as a white person.

Well, she was always the brains of the outfit. All Fred had was an ascot and the certificate of title for that van.

Seriously, my first thought was that "Velma" sounds a LITTLE like it might be a name from one of the dozens of ethnicities on the subcontinent, so I ran a Google out of curiosity.

Three different baby name sites have two different guesses as to origin (German and Greek) and several different meanings for the name "Velma," none of which originate anywhere near India.

Shaggy's name was always Norville.

Or just remake "Good Times"; they've fricked up every other remake, might as well frick this up too.

That's interesting. Thanks for researching that!
