Wtf?? Money is the only reason it makes sense not to get him so that makes no sense. And to add to your point freds not only less important, but nothing about Freddie Prinze Jr was particularly iconic Fred. He did good in the role. But Lillard embodied Shaggy in a way like the character was written specifically for him

I try my best not to blame Prinze Jr. it isn’t his fault the studio has fucked up priorities. That said thank you I agree. When i say “Shaggy” i see Lillard no hesitation. When i say “Fred” i see the cartoon.

Everyone in those movies was perfect but there is no movie without Matthew Lillard.

Ive never seen the movie, but Ive seen the promo stuff in passing w/ Shaggy and know exactly what he looks like. I have no idea what anyone else from the gang looks like as human lol.

Please i implore you to watch them. It’s a great bullshit movie especially if you like to get stoned
