My feed has been filled with rpg geeks shitting on him. I do not know why. I assume he said something nasty, or did something worse than his usual disgusting foot fetish.

Why do I see Tarantino drama constantly? What triggered it?

    I guess he does have many credits as Shaggy. I thought he’d be known for being the main bad guy in Scream. And, on this platform, I thought we’d all go for Hackers. No, just me and u/zerocool?

      In Hackers he wasn’t really the protagonist, more of a (really good) side character IIRC. It was also in 1995.

      In contrast, he’s got some 50 or 60 credits as Shaggy now, spanning from 2002 to whenever he stops being Shaggy. Live action, animated, LEGO versions, games, etc.

        He mentioned in an interview that he found out that he was no longer the voice of Shaggy when he saw Will Forte credited with the role. Lillard apparently wasn’t even invited to audition.

          Will Forte has one Shaggy credit in 2020.

          Lillard has several after that, including one in 2025 and IMDb lists one upcoming credit too.

          He’s still the voice of Shaggy IMO, just got shafted for one reboot.

            Well, that’s good news. I actively stopped paying attention to new Scooby news after how hurt he expressed feeling. I wish Warner would stop making it so morally difficult to enjoy their IPs and support their creators.

        That’s why I specified “on this platform”, where the demographic leans towards having been 10-20 years old at the time of the movie release and going into IT/coding after that. But I mean, I was being a little facetious with it. It’s a cult classic with some awful interprations of hacking

          I mean probably half to a third of the people here were born around the movie release date or later.

          Plenty of Gen Z on this platform.

      Of the movies you listed, Hackers is the only one I’ve seen. Hack the planet!

        I get that for people who had his live Shaggy role their entire lives. Scooby was primarily a cartoon for me. But I was surprised and understanding of him potentially being most famous for Shaggy, as he has like 20 credits to his name. Presumably for a lot of voice work

        I dunno, he was in Scream 6 and will be in 7 since apparently they want to keep going with this series. I still see Ghostface masks every year at Halloween. But, sure, I can agree his presence in the movie isn’t as culturally significant.

        On the flipside, Shaggy is an existing character to me that happened to be played by Lillard in later adaptations. He’s not the face of Shaggy to me because Shaggy was a cartoon first.

        But that’s my take.

            Scream 3 was the bad one, IIRC — it’s only up from there!

            Whichever one gave Ghostface the super power to copy anyone’s voice. Dumb AF. And doesn’t return in the newer films.

            They’re all pretty clever, but that one was a bit daft.
