All About Archie / Riverdale, I finally caught up
December 04, 2017, 06:16:52 AM
I recently decided to check out this show and first went to Netflix to watch season 1 and then caught up with season 2 with my On Demand and the CW app.  It's really a great show even though it completely twists all the Archie characters.  I actually think they could have done this show without the Archie skin and used completely original characters and locations.

As a long, long time Archie comics fan, there's one thing in the series that makes me really sad.  I'm a HUGE Archie and Betty shipper and it upset me how Betty got completely friendzoned by Archie in the first episode.  And then they paired Betty with Jughead (still really unsure how I feel about that, lol) and of course Archie and Veronica.  I really wanted to see Betty and Archie as a couple, especially after seeing what a fantastic Betty that Lili Reinhart is.  She's really amazing and perfectly how I always pictured Betty would be IRL.

My favorite Archie comic ever was the Archie Marries Betty branch of the Life With Archie marriage series.  I've never been happier reading Archie comics.  It was such a great story and I didn't want it to ever end.  I love Archie and Betty as a couple and have always rooted for Betty in my long relationship with Archie comics.

I still hope to see them as a couple, even if it's just for a little while, at some point in this series.  I think the writers gave us Betty/Archie fans a little hope when Kevin remarked that Betty and Archie are "endgame" in the first episode.  Maybe they are planning that for whenever they end the series.

And also, I've also though Veronica and Jughead would make a good and especially interesting couple.  In all my years of reading the comics, I've always felt that they may have secret feelings for each other.  IIRC, I think they even kissed a few times over the years.  I kinda wanted to see that happen in Archie marries Betty, instead of Veronica going with Reggie and Jug with Midge.  That would have made the series even better for me.

Why the hell are they turning Melody black?  Valerie is in the cast list, so why change Melody's race?  Really getting fed up with race changing when casting comic characters.  Leave them alone and don't change characters that have been around probably longer than anyone assoicated with the show has been.
It definitely doesn't look like this show is aiming to be anywhere near the traditional Archie Comic style and that seems to have a lot of people up in arms.

The thing about Archie is that everyone and their mother knows him heard of him or read a comic once in there life archie is the most famous comic book character that isn't a super hero. There is no need to change thing around to build a larger demographic because we all know the gang and Expect to see them how we remember them.
This show is going to confuse people and could even detour parents from showing there kids archie if they are all going to be meth heads.
I haven't heard the Meth Heads yet, but it wouldn't surprise me because the teen drama shows on today have at least one character it seems doing some sort of drugs.


You need to read this whole thread so you'll see the absurd things they are planning on doing with that show. Meth heads, Archie sleeping with Miss Grundy, Betty addicted to drugs, etc, etc,etc.

Are they really planning all that?  The race swapping is bad enough but this sounds like this series wants to be as "un-Archie-ish" as possible and will be a disaster to long time fans.

Actually, Veronica was new to Riverdale in the original comics from the 40s as well.  Archie started originally with him, Betty and Jughead.
