It could be a character that never really talk about, what about Chuck or Dilton being the killer of Jason?

I could totally see them doing that. Like, making the killer someone really random like that. Of course, I hope they'd do it in a way as to where if you go back and watch it again after the fact you pick up on little hints and clues that you missed the first time around. It could be really interesting that way.


Though really, killer Dilton?

You don't know what he's capable of [x] 

If they actually made this into a show/movie I'd actually watch it honest to god

I think that they're going to try to go for a "shocker". I doubt they'd just use the same plot from Afterlife. Plus the trailers are trying to make it look like it was Cheryl and I'm 90% sure they're just trying to mislead us.

Political Correctness is a cancer. It ruins everything.

I'm sorry but I really don't see how changing the race of a couple characters is harming the source material. That's not even what "political correctness" is. The characters that are most changed from their comic counterpart are actually the ones who were kept white anyway.

I think it would be okay to make a thread for plot theories/speculation? The other Riverdale thread is kinda long and I thought that perhaps a thread for this specific topic would help keep things tidy.

Anyway, I'll start out :0

I wasn't sure about it before but when I posted it on tumblr it gained traction so I'm assuming it must have some credibility in terms of being possible!
I came up with a theory based of the leaked script, some interviews I read, and the trailers!

It's kind of...a long post lol so I'll just link it!

What do you guys think? Any ideas of your own?

I'm watching Eyewitness. I loved it so much during the run I thought I'd rewatch it! It's a show about two gay boys who witness a triple homicide. It's very intense. Though it gets more and more colorless every time I see it. I hate this desaturated culture we live in.

We kinda have a joke going around that it is a "cursed video" based on how glitchy it is from the rip of the original. Some of the glitches make it so distorted that it becomes unsettling. But honestly, the poor quality makes it more amusing. For example, I made an edit of the most cursed parts. If you just google the "most cursed parts of archie variety hour" on YouTube you should find it. Since I can't post external links yet!

Weird, it let me link it! Here it is for those interested!!

I found this unsold Archie pilot! This certainly is a strange one! One of my tumblr buddies found it a while ago and I thought I'd share it with you guys! It's kind of low quality but it's the only one out there, sadly. My favorite part is when they're on the telephone and Moose breaks up with Jughead. I can't believe Moose and Jughead were a thing lol.

The casting seems spot on imo!

-------------------


I still stand by what I said a long while ago. I hope it gets cancelled soon. But since people nowadays love awful TV I imagine it could sadly last a while. 

:0 why?? What was wrong with who they picked?


Why do you want it to get cancelled? We haven't seen it yet but I think it looks really good!!


I read the leaked script too and I really liked it! Not as dark as I was expecting but that's okay! I like the humor they threw into it, to! I laughed a lot when Reggie said Archie got "hella swole". It may seem silly but I like Reggie's over-the-top characterization of a modern teen. I'm hoping they will have more stuff like that. I think it could potentially be really clever and funny. Although I will say, I cannot believe they honestly are going to play Mad World. It's the ultimate meme song. It can't be used seriously anymore. I also dislike how stereotypically gay they made Kevin. It's like his only personality trait is 'gay'. That's a big pet peeve of mine I hope they changed it up a bit from the leak.


Of course, we won't know for sure until we see it but I'm pretty excited for it!

Are you a plant from ACP?

Do you mean Archie Comics? No, I don't think they'd hire me at all! I don't think they'd like me very much. I was trying to get them to give me a copy of an unaired Archie cartoon back from 2013 (I looooooveeee the Archie cartoons!) and they threatened to turn off their DMs   


That would be really cool, though!

I'm excited for this! I think it'll be a pretty good drama! I'm a sucker for murder mystery stories. Plus the retro neon aesthetic of the promotional pictures looks super nice compared to most gritty
shows that try to go for a colorless and desaturated look.

The casting seems spot on imo! I absolutely love the pick for everyone! Ross Butler as Reggie is so great! I've talked to Ross before and he's such a sweet guy! I'm kinda disapointed it's looking like Reggie won't have a very big role in Riverdale which is unfortunate... Camila as Veronica is also amazing! She is the perfect Ronnie! I'm so ready for her and Betty's relationship! I already ship them so hard! I hope they are endgame... All the actors are so cute! I can't imagine a better casting! I love that it's so diverse! It's going to be filled with such great representation!


I'm also glad their going more for a dark humored drama rather than a straight up sitcom or something. I don't think a comedy would work very well. Most of the jokes that work in comic form
would fall very flat and most teenagers aren't really that interested in that kind of comedy anymore anyway.

Hello! I'm an 18 year old girl who goes by the name Apple~


I recently got into Archie comics a little less than a month ago after hearing about the CW Riverdale series!
I had never even heard of Archie before the show but have looked into them sense and love it! I've pretty much spent the last little bit of my life
binge reading the multiple Archie series! My favorite ones are the 2015 series (both the Archie and Jughead ones). I love the artstyle and more dramatic touch to them. I do still really like a lot
of the classic stuff I've read as well, though!
