Riverdale

I mean the man who developed the show is a good writer going by the Archie books that he wrote and even the horror movie remakes he did weren't too bad.

>The character of Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) rightfully calls Archie on his white privilege when he wants to help the Pussycats write songs, explaining to him that the group chose their name because "we have to claw our way into the same rooms that you can just waltz into."

Cringey teen drama at its finest

This is why ive gone from a bleeding heart to a person who views women as elsd then cattle and objects to be raped on sight

>>89251798
Ow the edge

>>89251233
I don't really see the harm in Archie being turned into typical CW TV show that tween of today watch. If you played Archie straight it would just another obnoxious dumb as shit tier Nickelodeon live action TV show aimed at seven year olds.

Maybe they couldve done what the brady bunch movie did and make fun of said 50s wholesome concept?

>>89251888
That's what they're doing.

>>89251935
Theyre makingnit into a shitty teen drama of boring overdramatic romance plots and sjw pandering. Its not funny, and its not directly critquing its original source material for laughs. Fuck this show.

And that's what teens today watch, broheim.

>>89251844

>>89251836
But playing to type is the only way they can actually be those characters because they are archetypes.

Its how Twin Peaks worked, a duality of worlds. Twin Peaks and then One Eyed Jacks being the Gateway to their underworld.

This doesn't have that. Its just a teen drama.

>>89251233
Course they do. They think its Lampooning something wholesome, but its not.

Its like High School USA High. Missed the entire point.

Are you really complaining that an Archie spinoff is a stupid romance drama for teens?

>>89251966
Then teens today deserve a good gassing for their shitty culture and tastes

Teens watch anything that's marketed to them you fucking dope. Put it on some magazines and run some advertisements. They'll watch it.

Riverdale is literally a parody come to life.

Can't SUV the Berlanti.

You probably shouldn't go outside too often then, if you want to avoid jail

>>89251775
I'm too lazy to actually read the articles and check the context, but this quote really makes the Pussycats sound really mean. Like Archie just wants to help, and they're just brushing him off and paying the race card.

I kind of hope for it to be just like that, with no hint of tongue-in-cheek wit to it. It'd be such a funny watch.

>>89251233
>the guy in charge of Archie makes an Archie show
>turns out it's pretty good
But I guess the delicate flowers on /co/ who've never read it but complain anyway know better?

>>89252867
Wow, that actually looks way better, I don't mean the cheap budget of course, I mean the treatment of the characters looks far more interesting.

I only want this to be successful for the potential Sabrina spin off.

>>89257769
Pretty sure it's played seriously, though it seems Archie will ultimately convince Josie to let him help.

And then fuck her.

Kind of an odd pov considering Josie's mother on the show is supposed to be the mayor of the town and apparently a black conservative.

>>89260932
That makes her a rebel, or something. I dunno whole show seems like it went of the rails somewhere back in planning.

I liked it better with blurbs about Moose being a Milf chaser and Archie's dad getting blowjobs from Kevin in alleys.

>>89252002
>This doesn't have that. Its just a teen drama.
There's a serial killer mystery plot a la Laura Palmer. They're even gonna find the 1st body in a body of water.

>>89261096
But there isn't any wholesome top layer and we don't have and outsider digging around to reveal the other world underneath.

As it stands its too much like everything else they have and not enough like Archie.

>>89260992
>I liked it better with blurbs about Moose being a Milf chaser and Archie's dad getting blowjobs from Kevin in alleys.

Which were fake.

>>89261169
>But there isn't any wholesome top layer

Yes, there is. Riverdale is presented as an extremely wholesome, cheery little town. Anachronistically so at times.

In fact, it seems there's a whole subplot about Josie's mother trying to preserve the town's squeaky clean image after Jason's murder gets media attention.

>>89261188
Still much more preferable to this. Same with the talk of it being a John Huges sendup.

No, Moose is going to be hooking up with Kevin. They're even going to be the ones to find the body >>89261096. I think Archie's dad is going to be hooking up with Veronica's mom.

Seriously, there was a thread a week ago about the whole plot and what all of the characters would look like and do.

This is pic is Miss Grundy, the music teacher. She's going to have the hots for Archie.

>>89261254
Archie's dad apparently had an identical love triangle with Veronica's mom and Betty's mom back when they were high school students, and the three of them are hiding a big dark secret.

>>89261880
>They're both Archie's half-sisters!

>>89261989
There was a one off Archie comic story that did a satire of that bit.

>>89261989
Incest ending when?

>>89261989
and both have twin sisters given away for adoption.

Hiram Lodge brings them back to town.

>>89262664
And Veronica's twin has Betty's personality and vice versa.

Name one disadvantage black people have these days. If anything, they get an unfair boost from the government.

Sadly anon reality isn't as fair as your mother's basement.

But if you really need an example go look at /pol/, then realize that there are people in positions of power who think like that. Or go read up on flint Michigan. Or the deliberate targeting of blacks that lead to the Fergusion shit.

Yeah, what's this country coming to when a 18-year-old black man can't rob a convenience store and try to take a cop's gun without being afraid?

Never read Archie (from Bongistan, it wasn't popular).

Where's the best place to start?

>>89251798
You're just as bad as them.

The comics will be nothing like the show, so you can start anywhere really. There really isn't a running plot to them anyways.

Sometimes the cops pull them over and find their drugs and illegal weapons when they had no reason to pull them over in the first place.
