In case you haven’t noticed, this show is weird. It’s a weirdo. It doesn’t fit in. And it doesn’t want to fit in. Have you ever seen this show have a cohesive plot? That’s weird. But now we have a video explaining the weirdness.

@Anagha Baheti I see, that's interesting! It's just that, to me, hermosa has always been a more fancy? formal ? whatever way to call someone beautiful in Spanish. I'd imagine it's like straight up naming someone "Beautiful" in English. Linda is still a rather common name but it's not quite the same vibe. That's a cool tidbit tho, Sundar sounds like a beautiful name (pun intended I hope you appreciate it).

I think the worst thing about Archie being sexualized so much is that KJ Apa was the only one who was actually a teenager when he started filming. He was 19, which is still very young, especially for someone whose entire role is to walk around shirtless and kiss older women.

Niko Jayson 2 aylar önce

I love you for this, this, exactly. People discount the immaturity of older teenagers CONSTANTLY, and it completely takes away from how immature and impressionable even they are. The switch of maturity doesn't flip when you hit 17,18,19,20 it takes time and life experience to develop and im very sad that this was part of HIS first moments of adult life experience!

@Friendly Space Ninja Alright, so, in regards to the concept of the Black Hood, its bad. Its very bad, once you start killing people for 'sin' for adultery or whatever, you are worse than them. it was also made on the fly, re-watch the ending of Season 1, you can hear the Black Hood say "Give me your Wallet" so the backstory for the Black Hood as serial killer is something they made up for Season 2.

@Toxin2020 Tbh it makes sense because it's goddamn weird why a gay writer would actively make gay characters act in such a weird bad light.

Sunetta S 2 aylar önce

@Niall Reid Ken Penders used to write for the Sonic comics that ran through the Archie publishers. In the early 2000's, Sega released the game Sonic Chronicles that used ideas from Pender's work. He sought legal action which the Archie publishers didn't take seriously at first, which allowed him to earn ownership over any characters and worldbuilding he created. When he left, they couldn't use his stuff anymore, leading to the comic being rebooted. It was cancelled a short while later, but I don't recall if it was directly caused by Pender's actions.

I mean Archie is favorably known for being milktoast so admittedly characters like chuck kind of fell off my radar.

Lili is a fantastic actor. I hope that when she leaves the show it doesn't drag her down and she gets the opportunity to act in better projects and really show off her skills.

Lesbian here. Began watching Riverdale because a friend of mine told me "hey it's kinda gay" (don't judge me, we've all done it). Cheryl's relationship with Tony could be so well developed... I would love to see them grow as people, Tony teaching Cheryl about the importance of companionship and valuing your friends and family, Cheryl giving Tony a sense of security she lacked her entire life. But then... Nop, you get whatever tf they did.

@Kris also there are often heterosexual relationships when one of the characters (usually the woman) are spoiled or not self aware of the damage they cost. But their boyfriends love them anyway without teaching them anything

@Kris I guess. It’s just annoying when POC & LGBT characters have to teach their white counterparts anything

@TeeBaby cuz with relationships ya constantly learn about each other. also Cheryl got entitlement and rich bitch issues and Tony just over looks it (atleast she did for a bit in early days of their relationship) and it causes alot of issues since Tony is/was raised extremely poor to the point of homelessness and having to join a gang to have security, home and food.

I wonder what the writers' room for Riverdale looks like. I have a few ideas: - Roberto is basically a tyrannical dictator who throws a tantrum whenever someone suggests that making Archie an erotic cheesemaker is not a good idea. - The writer's room is a barren wasteland because they're all at home, binging other shows, and Roberto is left the sole writer. - The writer's room is actually where all the discarded pages of manuscript go from other shows, and the writers just pick five pages and mash them together. - Roberto is a self learning AI experiment gone horribly wrong. - Everyone is smoking pot and/or crack.

The part about young people liking riverdale only because of ship culture really hits home for me since I had such a encounter a couple of years back, I once told a friend of mine that I knew of riverdale and later when I told them I was Bi they almost immediately sent me two pictures of (I think jughead and Archie) and asked me who I thought was “hotter” like they never asked me anything about what I thought OF the show just who I found more attractive, which I feel says a lot about the culture around the show.

There's a thing that Betty does so often that I had to name it: the Bettyrogation. This is when Betty goes to visit someone she suspects to be a murderer, often trespassing, always alone, to harangue the suspect with accusations of murder. This alerts the suspect to danger, and since they're alone, even if the suspect were to confess it would accomplish nothing. Somehow Betty never gets murdered.

That "In Memoriam" episode pisses me off in a weird way because you just KNOW the writers went above and beyond making sure it was their best work - not because it was a tribute to Luke Perry, not because they wanted to have some shred of pride and dignity as writers, but because they knew they would get ripped to shreds if they didn't bring their A game. It was self-defense.

I think it's absolutely insane, i think Roberto and the writers take all the drugs before writing and the best part is (what video called out as a critique) - Roberto and writing team do not care about the fans. I think that's amazing. You do you roberto, write your own show for yourself, if people don't like it fine, if they like it, fine. Live your best life Roberto.

Back in season one I actually thought Archie waa gonna turn out to be a Blossom like an illegitemate child or maybe secret triplet. Not that everyone with red hair has to be related but they were making SUCH a big deal about it. Everytime he entered a room someone would be like "Look, its Archie! He is hot, AND he's ginger! Ginger stallion! Ginger hunk meaty meaty meaty red ginger Archie with his red hair! Did you know that about him? I don't think you did." And with the Blossoms leaning into being The Red Haired Family so hard. And Cheryl in her grief mistaking Archie for Jason. I guess perhaps it was a... Red Herring, hehe. But I think given this writing teams history it might just be a plot point they wanted to do but abandoned.

They really did build up that idea/subtext and then did nothing with it didn't they?? God so much has happened in the past few seasons that I completely forgot about that. That would have been an extremely reasonable direction to take the show in, especially compared to the super powers, cults, evil boardgames etc plots they've done 😭 I really wish they'd actually continued that storyline instead of appearing to set it up and then completely abandoning it.

@Elisabeth Dude. I think it's the fact that she was incredibly oversexualized as a lesbian that makes it even more sad, considering whenever mainstream media bothers to portray sapphic relationships at all, it's usually either in a sexual or predatory context and nothing more, so it's not like it's breaking new ground and even more worrying since this character is supposed to be a damn TEENAGER. And also 'the sugar daddy was not sexualised' like are you 12 or something? Do you not know what a sugar daddy is?

I see so many people tweet things like "did anyone else have a crush on the creepy cult leader from season 3 of Riverdale." Like we're just gonna pass over the fact that this guy was a 90s/2000s heartthrob and like yeah, of course I did when he was in the Cinderella movie. Also the amount of people my age or younger that hadn't heard of Cole Spouse prior to him playing jughead is disturbing, am I the only 22 year old that watched the Suite Life of Zach and Cody/Suite Life on Deck growing up, or that has seen anything him and he's brother did in 90s?

also don't forget that internet exposes you to more people from waaaayyyy different regional background than yours. nickelodeon (or whichever american kids channel suite life was on) might've been big for you, but other countries/continents would have no doubt had their own popular kids channel. so the prospect of people your age or younger not being familiar to him, especially if these people are ones you've met/found online, isn't really that weird imo.

to be fair, we grew up with only cable as entertainment. with so many entertainment options now, especially streaming services, i dont find it that weird that even slightly older shows were never introduced to younger generations. a lot of them would have to be specifically searched up rather than introduced without a choice, the way cable never gave us options and we had to watch whatever was on.

i think the adult casting in riverdale is hilarious. people often think adult casting is a bad thing - it's not. It's pretty necessary when making shows FOR teenagers because teenagers aren't going to "look up to" people their own age. Buffy did it fairly well even though it was funny sometimes how old the characters like Cordelia and Xander looked. having older actors play teens isn't a problem, the problem is when you cast older actors and give them storylines for someone in their 20s. The Vampire Diaries was also terrible for this!

As a person who's never watched a single episode of riverdale and is completely unfamiliar with the source material, the storylines for the seasons 3, 4 and 5 feel more and more like something out a fever dream... at this point, i REALLY want to know what the hell was going through the writers' head to have made this show like seriously you've gotta have some special talent to make such a bad show that just keeps getting progressively worse, if that's even possible. how is riverdale even real

The hypersexualization of underage characters is very scary. I felt sick after you explained the sexualization of Archie’s character. With how many horror stories come from Hollyweird all the time, it makes me very uneasy. The idea of an old director using these young actors with dreams of a career to fulfill his own fantasy is infuriating.

I just watched the first 9 episodes last night. Overall I didn’t think it was bad: it was a cheesy, often melodramatically dark soap opera with Archie characters with a damaging twist every 10 minutes. Overall it was an amusing idea especially juxtaposed against the favorably milk toast comics. I haven’t seen anything beyond those episodes but my god the affair Archie has with his teacher is bizarre. I mean Archie does insist it was consensual but it’s not firmly countered by the other characters and the teacher doesn’t seem to have any realization of her wrong doing, even insisting on burying their secret despite the conflict it would have with the murder investigation. She should have been a bad guy

you should talk about showrunners thinking that "shock value= storytelling" in terms of Game of Thrones (every season from s5 onward, anyway). They abandoned foreshadowing, theme, and character development because they felt the ONLY valuable thing they could do was "surprise" the audience with who they could "shockingly" kill; I very literally think that they got addicted to the dopamine hit they got from the praise they got from convention breaking surprise kills in early seasons and prioritized that over every and all other factors, AND it only got WORSE as it went on, making it literally nonsensical.

One big problem with riverdale is that this television show is supposed to be about archie Andrew's but the weird thing is that he has been reduced to the role of a supporting character.He does nothing in the entire show.He does not solve cases and does not put an end to any bad guys on his own.Its either jughead,Betty or veronica or Cheryl who somehow manage to steal the show always.Atleast riverdale should have been renamed as the strange tales of Jughead Jones.

Every actor in this show is giving 200% but the writing is so awful that it completely undercuts their performance. You can tell in the interviews that Lili Rienhart is taking the time off set to look deep into her character and to find motivations that aren’t explicitly spelled out in the script. That’s something not every actor knows how to do or even considers doing. It’s what makes a great actor. It’s so heartbreaking that this is the role she will be known for for a very long time and she will have to work extremely hard to create a new reputation for herself.

[minor s6 spoilers ahead] for example, my personal favourite thing to tell people about s6 is that there's a fourth-wall break where the actor who played Reggie in s1 comes back, meets the Reggie actor from later seasons, and Veronica tries to have a threesome with both of them but then they kill each other in a duel for her hand. And that's just the tip of the iceberg

At least Season 1 to Season 2 was a sensible escalation in concept. Season 1, they solve a single murder. Season 2, they solve a series of murders. I didn't stick around for Season 3, but it sounds like the show lost what was left of it's damn mind in that one.

When Riverdale first was announced, I was truly excited. They really made it seem like it would be some homage to Twin Peaks - which settled the path for today's so called "Quality TV".

Schnort 4 aylar önce

The thing is, competent writers who have ever met an asexual or at least know the definition could easily make this a plot point. This whole highschool is hypersexual and Jughead needs to fit in. Anyone who doesn't is ostracized, something which would affect him greatly in such a small secluded town. So he follows everyone else by doing what he does in the show. After we start caring about Jughead, it can be revealed that he is distraught because he doesn't feel the way he thinks he is supposed to. He throws himself into romance and sex to feel normal and fit in, but he isn't enjoying it or feeling thr attraction he thinks he is supposed to. Like... I thought of that in a minute. Imagine if an actual writer considered this.

I really wanted to see Jughead's asexually on screen, because I wanted to see what it would look like. I know that he said in the comics that if he liked girls Betty would be the one he would like. (I must also point out that he always pressed Archie to choose Betty over Veronica because he knew her to be a kinder and sweeter person). I can't say I was disappointed in the whole Jughead and Betty relationship while I watched in season one, but I also thought they would explore more stuff from the comics (his relationships with Ethel and Trula come to mind) but they have gone so far from the comics that it is officially In Name Only and we might never see this version of Jughead being asexual. Also your point about Archie barely being a character is 1) True 2) Hurtful as hell to a fan of the comics.
