QuoteI think the actor for Reggie is one of the few that actually looks like the comic book character.

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!

WE'RE BEING PROGRESSIVE AND DIVERSE!  MEDIA PRAISE US AND GIVE US MONEY PLOX! WE'RE NOT OUT OF TOUCH OR CLUELESS AT ALL!

My point, which you have just made, is that since Archie is white, no one is complaining even though he does not look anything like the comic book character.

People in this forum did complain about it.  I complained about it.  Are you suggesting  though that changing someone's race isn't as drastic as making them more ripped and taking away their freckles?  I know we live in the age of Rachel Dolezal and Shawn King, but changing your race isn't exactly like getting a new hair cut.

Haha $30 for a chocolate bar.  Thanks, Commiefornia!      Next, they'll be telling us the chocolate production process was carbon neutral.

Yeah, I said Commiefornia as a joke, but here are some of their other products.  I hate being right about these people all the time.

Just posted my official thank you thread to Roberto-Aguirre Sacasa for making Archie x Miss Grundy a reality!  Please show your gratitude, everyone!

http://www.archiefans.com/all-about-archie/thank-you-roberto-aguirre-sacasa-for-making-archie-x-miss-grundy-canon!

This is the official thank you thread for Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, creative genius and script writing scribe of immeasurable talent who is apparently behind the idea to change Miss Grundy into a hot babe so Archie can have a sexual adult relationship with her! 

For over 70 years, fans of Archie Comics have asked themselves, Betty or Veronica?  Who should Archie choose?  However, one brave soul, a screen writing legend behind such Citizen Kane-esque masterpieces as random Glee episodes and the 15th remake of Carrie, was asking the real question everyone really wanted addressed.  Why can't Miss Grundy be hot, and why can't Archie have sex with her in a TV program?

This idea festered in Roberto's head for nearly three decades after he read one Archie Comics digest, the only Archie Comic he ever read, until the idea for a daring new television program was formed!  Who knows how many Golden Globes this incredible television series will win?  I'm going to say if it doesn't win at least 20, there will be outrage and riots in the streets!

Regardless, I'd like to thank Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa for his excelent contribution to Archie Comics lore, that Archie had a sexual relatioship with Miss Grundy before either Betty or Veronica.  Thank God that Archie CEO Jon Goldwater made Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa chief creative officer for the entire company, because this is a man who knows what he's doing!

I say we all give three cheers for screenwriting legend Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa!

Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!

May your legend and immense talent continue to grow and brighten the lives of all!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Hope you enjoy your comcis, BettyReggie!

I look forward to the day Archie Comics is actually controlled by people that understand how to make money in the publishing industry.

Sure thing, chief.  Hope you're doing backups more than once a decade now so the site doesn't disappear again.

Backups are done nightly now. Knock it off with the nastiness.

Okay, I'm sorry if referencing facts came off as nasty.  I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.  BTW, welcome back to the forum!  I think this is the second time I've seen you post in a thread like this since I registered in 2011.

No, I don't think they're referring to porn rapist James Deen.
