Reply to comment by BananaSquid721 in Mindy Kaling did not create or write Velma. Why is she taking so much heat? by [deleted]

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.
