It’s also receiving an unfair amount of backlash. It’s bad, but there is a lot of criticism around the characters that isn’t deserved… yet. A lot of hate is going to shaggy not being like shaggy at all but the show may be explaining how he gets the name shaggy and other back story elements

No, Norville is an anti-Shaggy character, to the point where a side plot point is that he's constantly trying to distance himself from marijuana and keeps failing accidentally. Which I thought was very funny.

As for the hate, people are just making up excuses. A guy in here is using the Scooby Doo canon as a shield for the hate, like anyone believes that shit for a second.

Norville could still end up turning into the pot loving character we know and love. My biggest problem with his character is he doesn’t have the voice. Shaggy has a specific way of speaking that’s so iconic; they should’ve at least incorporated that in somehow.

They are going way out of the way to establish him as anti-Shaggy at the moment. Maybe they will have some way to bring it full circle.
