I'm sure you all heard the talk about Velma being gay in an upcoming movie. But, that's not all, as Velma is getting her own adult animated show on HBO Max soon. It stars Mindy Kaling as Velma. The show has pretty much changed everyone's race for some reason. For example, Velma is South Asian, Daphne looks to be asian (and is played by an asian voice actor), and the new shaggy, will be named Norville and he will be black. He's voiced by an actor I like, so I'm interested to see how he plays the character. And Fred hasn't changed much, still a white preppy dude.

What do you think about the changes? I honestly don't care, I never really had any intentions of watching a scooby doo show these days anyway, but with it being made for adults, I wonder if it will be any good.

    Norville is Shaggy's real name. Shaggy is a nickname. I only know this cause a friend I had growing up was obsessed with Scooby Doo.

    The thing that bothers me is that they picked the stoner dude who is afraid of everything and honestly a little stupid to be black. Why couldn't they make Fred black? He was the smarter of the two and clearly got the ladies. I really don't care for this race-swapping nonsense though if I am being honest. I don't want some crusty old white person's pity points. We need to make our own content and make it better. This will probably tank and I really don't care either way.

    I'm not really a fan of the changes myself. Plus where the heck is Scooby Doo? I get the show is centered around Velma, and not the entire scooby gang but the main franchise always focused on Scooby Doo. Plus I feel that they're pandering too much, and adding too many unnecessary lines. I honestly forgot Shaggy's first name is Norville...
