Netflix is in the doghouse with some Scooby-Doo fans.
The streaming platform released its first look of the upcoming live-action remake of the beloved cartoon June 8, and die-hard fans of the series are taking issue with Scooby’s casting.
The 21-second clip shared to X begins with Scooby’s POV as he attempts to sniff out a suspect in the woods. As the eerie music builds, fans catch a glimpse at a young Shaggy Rogers (Tanner Hagen) before he scoops up an adorable brown puppy who gives him a few affectionate licks.
“SCOOBY IS FINALLY REAL!!!” Netflix captioned the teaser. “Meet the goodest boy in Scooby-Doo: Origins, coming to Netflix in 2027.”
While the dog shown is no-doubt the goodest boy, fans of the show refuse to accept him as Scooby Doo, previously depicted as an animated Great Dane.
“Finally real?” one X user commented under the post. “Bro spent 50 years as a cartoon and now he’s a labrador? Netflix wildin.”
Meanwhile another chimed in: “Scooby Doo is supposed to be a Great Dane. Only idiots can mess up this badly.”
But other fans seemed to embrace Scooby’s adorable makeover.
