Netflix has finally unveiled its live-action iteration of Scooby-Doo, showing how the dog will look in the upcoming Origins series. However, fans have not warmly received its look, making their feelings clear on social media.
Fans aren’t liking Scooby-Doo’s first look
Netflix recently dropped a new teaser for Scooby-Doo: Origins, showing off its version of the iconic character. The short footage, initially shown from a first-person POV, shows Scooby running and sniffing in the woods before spotting Shaggy Rogers, who picks him up and smiles while the dog affectionately licks him in the face.
Scooby-Doo’s look has garnered multiple negative reactions from fans. One argued, “It looks like ordinary dog. Scooby should be bigger and humanly.”
Another added, “This is not Scooby.” Yet another remarked, “Classic Netflix, ruining characters and calling it an adaptation.”
Here are some more:
However, not everyone despised the look, as some have shown their support. “Finally! Movie studios are using real animals instead of CGI. He’s perfect,” a user wrote.
Meanwhile, another opined that “after years of CGI nightmares,” the look was “surprisingly faithful.” However, they hoped that the writing and visual quality would match.
Scooby Doo: Origins will be released in 2027. An origin story chronicling the formation of the Mystery Inc. group, it will revolve around Shaggy and his old friend Daphne Blake during their final summer at camp. The pair comes across a lost Great Dane puppy that has likely witnessed a supernatural murder, leading to the three solving a haunting mystery with the scientific yet pragmatic Velma Dinkley and the mysterious but handsome Fred Jones.
Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg serve as executive producers of the series, alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman. Other members of the executive-producing team include André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, Toby Haynes, and Adrienne Erickson. In addition, Haynes will direct the premiere episode.
Tanner Hagen, Mckenna Grace, Abby Ryder Fortson, and Maxwell Jenkins star as Shaggy, Daphne, Velma, and Fred, respectively. Paul Walter Hauser has also joined the cast in an undisclosed role.
