Why have these two's characters remained static through the years?
It seems like with every new incarnation of the gang a new tweak, depth, gimmick or variation is given to Freddy, Velma and Daphne; while Scooby and Shaggy remain exactly the same.
Why?
because they are distinct in both character and dynamic
the rest of the gang are not

>Like, zoinks, /co/, what would you change? I thought we were doing a pretty groovy job just the way we are, man!
>Reah! Roovy!
>I mean by Hanna-Barbera standards we're, like, TOLSTOY man!
They're the faces of the franchise, changing them too much might drive some people away so the writers only get to experiment with the others. Same thing happens to Mario

Yeah the rest of the gang were basically blank slates. Scoob and Shag are iconic.
They added a new layer of implied bestiality

Wait what?
>>77604823
Because one is a dog, and the other is a dog-lover.
>>77604823
I guess you haven't watched Get A Clue.
>>77604823
because they were already fun characters to begin with.

They've had changes as well. Scooby could speak in fluent english in Mystery Incorporated and Shaggy was much more alpha during his red shirt phase.
