Because A: The original idea that they adapted had 4 characters and they didnt want to "ruin" it even more by adding a fifth character.
B: They couldnt figure out how to do "adult humor" with a talking dog.

The actual reason is because the studio told them not to put him in

Probably cause the writers wanted it to be an adult cartoon.

Which is pathetic because Venture Bros. and several other animated (and even some live action) sitcoms pulled it off fine. The show creators just have the creativity of burnt toast. It's why they wanted to selectively take chunks from an already established franchise and duct tape it into a half-assed "reimagined" Frankenstein that nobody really asked for. They stink at creating anything remarkably original and worthy of applause. All they can do is awkwardly mutate shit for the sake of change and call it brilliant. That's what "reimagined" typical means with Netflix.

Diversity and inclusion can be part of a successful equation in entertainment. This shit they slapped Mindy Kaling's name on is just three different kinds of lazy rolled into one. It's a parasite they want to call an edgy phenom.

A character saying a racist thing for a gag doesn't make the show racist.

Family guy has made fun of white men having small dicks for 10 years. They've made fun of plenty of other races too.

Don't act like this show invented race jokes lmfao

It is kind of funny that some of the people complaining about stuff being woke..also coming about the white jokes.

Have you guys seen family guy. They had the Klan chase Cleveland, Brian is racist, they have an Asian man name Mr. Washywashy, and like the list can go on and on.

If this is a Scooby Doo show where is the title character ?

The humor (if you could call it that) in the show is the same edgy/cringy, Adult Swim crap that you see on Cartoon Network over the last 5-10 years. Also none of the characters are likeable, Every male character is either an asshole or an idiotic, beta male incel or simp, and the leads are reduced to stereotypes and tropes. Why the hell Zavlov spared this pile of garbage while cancelling Scoob 2 is beyond me. In the words of The Critical Drinker, this is everything wrong with modern entertainment and is brand damaging.

It the same tired old formula

-take an already established franchise
-inject it with woke garbage no one cares about
-fan base rightfully calls the morons that made it out on their bullshit
-it bombs hard and gets canceled.
-morons that made it blames everyone else for it failing except themselves
-rinse and repeat
This happens every single time.

Out of curiosity, what is its competition? What other Max original animated series have there been?

Not that that metric even means much for a TV series if the views immediately drop off the following week.

The user who warned against hate watching was right. Guarantee those views are from people who were curious to see just how bad it is. But all the HBO Max execs will see is "people are watching!"
