‘Riverdale’ Renewed for Season 2

>More threads for shit that isn't a comic or a cartoon
HUZZAH!

>>90509099
>Riverdale is an American teen drama television series based on the characters by Archie Comics

Its based on a comic anon. If they removed every live action comic thread on this board there would be no threads

>>90509142
What a sad state of affairs this board has become. I miss when every day was like Wednesdays

>>90509142
>If they removed every live action comic thread on this board there would be no threads
This is a complete exaggeration, there are like 10 live-action threads on the catalog right now. The removal of live action shit wouldn't hurt us at all.

The rumor is that Season Two features Sabrina and focuses on supernatural elements in Riverdale.

The series should have started with that instead of what we got.

>>90509142
I don't mind adaptions here (though they could be corralled into generals), but that's not true at all.

>>90509327
It's a slow burn.

>>90509142
>Its based on a comic anon
Based on a comic doesn't make it a comic or cartoon.

>If they removed every live action comic thread on this board there would be no threads
No, it'd just only leave the threads about comics and cartoons which is what this board is about. Would it slow down the board? Yes, because it would replace shitposting with actual discussion. Oh no, less shitposting! How will we ever recover!

>>90509142
Of the 150 threads on the board right now, 11 of them are about live-action adaptations, and of those 11, 7 of them are shitposts.

>>90509407
>MUH BOARD

It's been four years. Face reality.

Good to know that pattern still works here.

Whats the consensus on this show is it good is it watchable. Is it just a generic CW show with a Archie skin

That's it

>/tv/ has slowly conquered /co/

Are you implying that you've won? Because so far, you're "victory" has only given you 11 out of 150 threads.

>faggots are actually watching and enjoying this fucking garbage
Christ, you people are fucking twelve year olds.
You all fucking sicken me.

>>90509593
It think even without the Archie connection it's a top tier teen melodrama, if that's the kind of thing you're into.

Is Sabrina in this?
Also more importantly is Salem in this?

>>90509634

This thread is proof that expansion is growing and you're noticing it.

>>90509404
Maybe, but it still probably would have been better.
At the very least, we could have still gotten the Clone High dramatics with a dash of Twin Peaks and a smidge of giving Jughead something to do.

>>90509535
>it's been four years
>each of those years was somehow even worse than the year prior
>even when you think it couldn't get any worse, it somehow does
Huh, really makes you think.

>>90509676

This is really thee most important questions.

>>90509676
Not yet. But It's a safe bet to assume that they will be soon enough. It's also highly likely this is going to spin off into new Archie-related programs, including Sabrina.

>>90509662
you could go to literally any thread on /co/ and say the same shit.

You're getting that already. Betty and Jughead are the only ones moving the plot along while Archie and Veronica are treading water in the B-plots.

Truly wonder why there are people as asspained as you. It literally doesn't affect you at all and is within the rules. Just don't fucking go into the Riverdale thread, jeez. Not like there's a lot of them.

>>90509734
No.

>>90509754
Truth be told, I haven't been keeping up since the first episode dropped. I figured the show was firmly in "so bad it's tolerable" territory and it would stay there. I did read spoilers up to the fourth episode, though.

Still, it seems more natural (in a way) to me if it was the usual Betty/Veronica rivalry with Archie and Jughead put his emo image to good use by getting into dat occult shit.

>>90509593
I'm pretty sure everyone in the talkback thread are just there for some sweating Archie and sexy girls

Apparently the plan for Season 2 has leaked or something? Does anyone know any spoilers?

>>90509266
>I miss when every day was like Wednesdays
That was never the case and I've been here since 2006.

Congratulations, another board has devolved into complete shit, with almost zero cogent discussion about the topics it covers and in its stead shitty memes, shilling, and bullshit spammed ad nauseum. You must be so proud for being a part of the homogenization of the Internet, the most important cultural revolution of our time.

>>90515192
>people talking about comics in a way i don't like doesn't count

Keep moving that goal post

>>90515262
It's still right there. One thread about a comic run that has nothing to do with selling new ones. But you think a thread fantasizing about young children being tied up qualifies as a comics discussion so I'm not going to hold my breath.

>>90515359
So people can't talk about or be excited about future comics without it being shilling and every thread should be professionally started like "Let's talk about JLI and its influence on comics". Where do you think you are? People are going to joke and kid but they're talking about comics and cartoons. Just because people don't talk about them the way you want doesn't mean it isn't happening. And make you're own thread and quit your bitching

>>90515709
I think I'm in a thread shilling a live action show on the CW on what is supposed to be a comics and cartoons discussion board.

>>90509586
Fuck Riverdale and Valerie and the pussyblacks

I'm sincerely excited.

has anybody here actually read the archie: rebirth line of books and if so what do you think of them? I'm talking about the normal books not the archie horror stuff which we know is good.

>>90513120
Archie is best boy.

>>90521146
I actually dig it as well as Jughead and Betty and Veronica. I only read the first issue of Josie and the Pussycats and the Reggie miniseries though.

>>90516750
Has equal relevance to whenever anyone talks about Logan/Suicide Squad/Supergirl/etc.
Don't be nitpicking douche. You're better than that.

I'd rather FXX announced more High School USA. I love shows that I have to laugh at the absurd amounts of depressing material, less I actually absorb the message and wind of killing myself for having finally seen the depths of woe in Dino Stamatopoulos's soul.

Veronica makes my Dick hard. I've always been a Betty guy, but ohh damn, Riverdale Veronica!

>>90509593

Depends who you ask. Some get an aneurysm over their hate for it, others love it. It's Archie meets Twin Peaks.

>>90521853
This. Holy shit, if you pulled me out of Ronnie you'd be crowned king of England. She's easily the best looking girl on the show.

>>90521146
I have. I think Jughead's book is the best of the lot, especially now that Henderson isn't on art anymore. I don't care much for Waid's Archie, but it's readable, which is more than I can usually say for SJWaid. B&V feels the most OG out of the reboots, and is worth getting for the art alone.

>>90509142
no its based off the names used in the Archie comics, not actually based off of shit

None of the previous anons - but no, it doesn't:
(a) your point isn't/wasn't that the discussion on this board are painfully thin, or poorly disguised advertisements, etc. etc. - it was a specific complaint about live action with (in your opinion) barely, if that, a connection to the purpose of this board.

Now, WERE that your argument, I'd be there with you, I can spend 30-60 minutes on here and most of it is just skimming this and finding little of interest, and barely anything I'd want to comment on. If I wasn't saving an image file, or looking up something I didn't know, or grabbing some links, I'd probably spend less than 20 minutes here, most of which would be opening and skimming.

>Betty and Jughead

I honestly hope they're not using these two as a vehicle for Archie to 'realize' his feelings for Betty and pursue her and potentially Veronica again.

I kinda enjoy them together as the odd humorous duo and the fact that they're the only ones actually trying to solve the fucking mystery.

>>90524034
Nah they're using it as a vehicle for jughead to realize he's burgersexual

>Ratings get worse each episode
>give it a second season

>>90525052
Given that the primary audience is young people they're probably more focused on the streaming numbers, which have been increasing. Besides, it's done far better than their other new series. They have to keep something going.

>>90525186
>which have been increasing

NOPE.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverdale_(2017_TV_series)#Ratings

>>90525224
Where does that show the Netflix numbers?

>>90509676
>Is Sabrina in this?

She's supposedly being introduced in some form in the season finale.

Greendale was already referenced and confirmed to exist in the Riverdale universe though.

>>90525251
It's not on Netflix in the US.

>>90525350
The guy was talking about the streaming numbers from Netflix.

Why would you post the tv ratings?

>>90525367
Why would the CW care about streaming from Netflix? Those are only international viewers and they don't make any money from advertising.

>>90525401
CW has a multibillion dollar deal with Netflix

>>90525294
Sabrina could be involved in a cliffhanger for the end of season 1 (as part of something like the Blossoms turning out to be part of a coven of witches). After the Jason mystery is wrapped up, they need something to keep people coming back.

I just hope it's not like Twin Peaks once Laura Palmer's murder was solved. It had a terrible run of episodes for a while after that.

>>90525420
I doubt the CW has a billion dollars. Let alone multiple billions of dollars.

>>90509014

Also don't underestimate Covergirl's desire to promote their makeup.

Maybe Burger King or McDonald's can sponsor them too and we'll finally have Jughead eating a burger.

Pretty meta actually. They even say that it was just a regular town until someone died. then it goes FULL CW.

netflix has a billion dollars. that's why the cw cares how its doing on netflix. because netflix will pay them the money they have. jesus christ dude.

>>90525052
The CW does not give a flying fuck about ratings.

As long as the show is well received and has a strong following online, then it'll get another season.

See:
iZombie
The 100
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Jane the Virgin

Plus I'm pretty sure that it's pretty cheap compared to other CW shows.

>>90525770

Winning awards also helps.

>>90525548
The CW and Netflix actually has a pretty good deal.
After the season ends, the episodes air on the Netflix in it's entirety a week or so later. Also I think that new Riverdale episodes air on international versions of Netflix a day or so after it airs here. They pretty much told Hulu to fuck off and made their own app and figure out a deal with Netflix.

>>90509593
I wanna fuck Veronica.

>>90509099

Sure live action threads arent ideal but I have noticed /co/ becoming slower this year so I dont really mind them as long as they are within /co/ rules .

There are fewer /co/ live action threads compared to previous years and even those are getting slow which I am guessing do you to over-saturation of /co/ live action content. I feel like /co/ is getting relatively better because of less casuals staying after /co/ live action hype has died down significantly

Just report the Kong AND Power Rangers movie threads that are gonna be spammed this weekend

I am unsure whether Ghost in the Shell live action/movie threads is going to be allowed because it aired on toonami thus letting it be considered as western animation by technicality

>>90523226

Just like most live action adaptations of /co/ franchises

I enjoyed Twin Peaks because it was a semi-subtle satire of daytime dramas and because of the deeper Lynch-driven supernatural madness which drove the overall plot. Will I enjoy Riverdale for the same reasons?

It's okay.
I can't stand Archie and his Gary Stu problems. But I love murder dramas. I wish the whole series was about Betty and Jughead solving Riverdale's mysteries.

>>90528073
No. It's not Twin Peaks so don't go in for Twin Peaks. It's a high school melodrama.
