It’s like an adult cartoom spin off

Looks like we will get some NSFW Daphne.

Which I challenge Anyone to hate.

A mindy Kaling helmed adult scooby doo. It doesn't sound that horrible to me. I like a lot of HBO's original content so we'll see.

Wouldn't changing Shaggy (a deadbeat pot smoker) to a black guy have the opposite effect with libs?

They should’ve just made Fred gay and called it a day. Only hipsters and homosexuals wear ascots.

I like Sam but shaggy is tall and lanky. Sam is not that. Just seems like an odd choice

Agreed. Dude is insanely likable. Didn’t like how Hocus Pocus treated him.

I can see him doing a funny shaggy as a black dude.

Now that being said, don’t love race swapping existing characters, but at least it’s a capable actor.

Seems racist.
