Scooby-Doo was a big part of chilhood. When talong with friends about things we used to enjoy as children Scooby-Doo is always mentioned within my top 3. Shaggy in particular being my favorite. I used to be a huge slacker as a kid. I put in enough effort to make good grades and not a bit more and I was also adverse to risk hence the identification with him. Hell at one point imitated his walk because I was a tall and lanky elementary student. Making him black does not make me identify with him more it just makes me angry because you have altered him so significantly. The other changes are just as stupid.
The concept of making characters align with the looks of voice actors could be interesting if you weren't swapping old for new in an established series.
Hell if they were good writers they could have made a spin-off in the same universe with original characters and found success. Do a crew inspired by the original mystery gang and even have a crossover episode. You could even do a rotating cast with different celebrities making up other teams.
But no they're morally and creative bankrupt shitheads and they want to rape original IPs that people grew up loving.
European high society held the black mass, not because they revered satan, but instead to molest what was holy, they hated god so much they defiled themselves in the houses built to worship him. The rebellious teen destroying themselves to hurt their father. This is that same method of desecration, they hate Americans of yesterday so much they must take the icons of that lifestyle and pervert them to their whims.
So that's why Malakai Black, an atheist pro wrestler whose character is a Satanist in all but name, calls his finisher the Black Mass.
I'd honestly never heard the term outside of wrestling until just now.
Seriously? Yes, the "Black Mass" is meant to be a kind of parody of the Catholic Mass. It's usually something kind of sexual, and the "host" is usually some kind of drug that isn't wine, the altar might be a nekkid lady holding candles, shit like that.
OK, so imagine "deplorables" making fun of the rites and rituals of the modern globalist wokies. (Like that video with the Russians in that other post, would be a kind-of-sort-of "black mass" if one considers wokeism a nascent religion; esp. that part where everyone kneels to the black man. This is like, a baby version of where "black mass" came from. Maybe one day we'll be burning effigies of trannies while we dance around a campfire.)
I'm serious, this is the first time I'd heard the real meaning.
I thought it meant "festering tumor." Which it kinda is.
