Wow okay you win. I'm not here to go back and forth on this.
Enjoy being that negative.
Maybe because you can't? Strong convictions you got there. Oh, I'm spreading not only hate now but negativity too. Cool, I'm like a mahou shoujo villain.QuoteThe show as a whole may not on it's own terms — it will definitely suck at being Archie.
I think it will suck in general. There's nothing about this that doesn't sound cringe worthy.QuoteYou should not blame the cast or crew — they get next to no creative input, not even Luke Perry could rewrite more than trivia even for his own character ... most probably don't know lots more than the name anyway and are just trying to get by ... blame the people who created it and the Archie management who support it and such, yes, but only them.
I said something similar earlier about the actor for Reggie, I meant the creative/production/ownership side. But something people shouldn't do is hide behind the actors. Like if we see Jon Goldwater responding to a question about controversial cast race changes by just praising the actors, he's a full of **** liar because that's what every white person has ever done in a similar position where they made the call on something like that. I also don't think the actors and crew have to be supported. They are already privileged enough to be in show busines, and that's real privilege, not the BS Tumblr kind. Most people are doing real jobs that require a lot more work with no thank you or public recognition of any kind.QuoteComics have never gotten much respect — just a fact of life ...
In this case, one of the people that doesn't respect them was granted ownership stake in the company and is related by blood to the people who did treat them with respect in the past.

I'm not surprised nobody is optimistic about it.
I think it's sort of the best chance at an archie TV show though. I just don't think that adapting Archie crazy faithfully would have much of an audience as much as I wish it would.
I believe it truly could. You have so much room with creativity with Archie really making the colours pop and explore with costumes and perfected casting. I really wish I could be the creative artist over this project. They are doing what they do with every teen series instead of going out and making Archie what it truly can be

Yeah I sort of figured that Archie isn't the most collectible but it's still a surprise. I went to a local small comic store here and actually found a decent amount of stuff.
I told him any Archie he finds to let me know because I've had a really hard time with it.
Do you live on the east coast? Where I live (Missouri) there is virtually no Archie to be had besides the reboot.
