What's up with miss grundy?!?!
Like really?! A young hot 20 something year old looks like

Well, according to script leaks Archie is having affair with one of his teachers .... doesn't say which of course, but why add no-name teachers ...

All the guys will fall in love with the new Miss Grundy! 

For a series that prides itself on diversity, it's odd that they're making all the old ugly characters young, skinny and hot.

Why would you trust the words that come out of these people's mouths in the first place?  They've consistently lied to people about stuff including titles being canceled and a shady as heck Kickstarter campaign.  It's just the comic book/nerd media is in the tank for Nu Archie Comics, so the only thing they do is lavish on praise.

Wait, so this wasn't an April Fool's Day joke??? They announced this casting on April 1st (at least on Tumblr)... Wow.

What's next? A statuesque Ethel who is having a fling with all the male faculty members including the young hunk Mr. Svenson? This is beyond words stupid.

Are they going make her look ugly, Mrs. Gundy not good looking at all. She wears that terrible bun. She has no body at all. Maybe they cast Hugh Jackman to be Mr. Weatherbee. I would love to go that school.

Either that or they'll make her one of the "meth heads" that the people who supposedly saw the pilot script were talking about.

But don't you trust Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's skill at recycling edgy cliche storylines from crappy teen dramas of the past?  XD  I also heard he got his hands on rejected scripts from Degrassi that were too edgy for Canadian TV and is going to mine them for new daring ideas.  God, I'm so glad Jon Goldwater is so entranced by this creative talent that he made him into Chief Creative Officer for the entire company!

Oh, I don't trust them anymore, or the reviewers who act like the horror titles and reboots are the second coming (though the reboots are better). I was just being sarcastic about their hypocrisy.

Current Archie Logic:

Reggie has dark hair + Asian people have dark hair = Reggie is Asian!
Dilton has dark hair + Asian people have dark hair = Dilton is Asian!
Veronica has dark hair + Latinas have dark hair = Veronica is Latina!

I agree with this. I'm a minority and I've never wanted the characters to look like me or anything but white.

Anything coming out of internet meida about nerdy subjects is extremely corrupted.  A lot of people don't understand this except for maybe video game fans.  The people that priase them for everything don't represent their fans or even comic book readers.  Most of them take jobs like this as a second choice because they couldn't make the cut to write tripe for the Huffington Post. etc.  Some of them are even ghost written by complete randos who just want the money.  I do freelance writing, I've seen this kind of thing first hand.

One of the authors of a recent article straight up admitted to having never read Archie Comics but still criticized old Archie as "conservative" as a device for praising new changes like the ones in this TV pilot.  LOL!  The sad thing is the CEO is probably so out of touch he doesn't know the internet media and Twitter activists that praise him are a bunch of bullshit artists that don't care about whether or not the company is able to survive financially.

Archie with Sarah Habel (Miss. Grundy)
Archie seems to work in construction!

So this wasn't an April Fool's joke like CAPalace suggested.  Oh god, this is beyond self parody at this point.   

Edit:  Should I make an Archie x Miss Grundy thread?  LOL.

It wouldn't surprise me if they turned her into a meth head.

I don't know whether to laugh or be pissed, any more. Meanwhile they are patting themselves on the back.

I didn't know that insider stuff about the people who write reviews, but I thought something must be up for them to say the new titles are  so much better than the house style stories. They can't be that stupid.
