Is Dark Betty the dumbest thing to come out of Riverdale?
- Thread starter DragonSJG
- Start date
I checked out somewhere in season three I think, with that stupid D&D stuff. Glad to see the show is getting even stupider.
I totally will after I finish my WishesItWasSorkin Madam Secretary.
The actors are all in their mid to late twenties, which is probably no small reason why they're time skipping the show forward five years.
Yeah, even other Netflix shows reference Riverdale and how old the characters look relative to their "age."
Elite shits all over Riverdale and it actually gets better every season. It's a legit good show.
Eh thats different. Both the Sprouse brothers are huge gamers (have even commentated on Smash Bros and wanted to go pro with it lol). I can't imagine that same passion is placed in Riverdale lore.
I stopped watching this show a while ago but can someone answer me this?
didn't one episode end on Jughead and his dad not being let into Riverdale
and then the next episode just didn't acknowledge that and it was as if it never happened??
did that actually happen or am I misremembering?

Also because writing teen soaps in a college setting is near-impossible.
See: Gossip Girl.
OTH also did the college skip and was better for it.

Archies actor was 18-19 at the start while Betty's actress was 2O at the start
It is the best kind of stupid. It's so fucking dumb n trash n I love it.
The writers come off like "cohesive plot? Fuck that, we are just gonna wing it and put anything n everything in our story" and they fucking do.
or the fact that a high school student became king of a biker gang.
i binged season 1-3 last summer. s4 is on Netflix now, right. ...Should I?
...i need to see this

yes
Why is seemingly everything teenager, moppy or embarrassing somehow akin to anime? Don't people watch normal television or movies? Don't they know what goths are? Didn't they listen to MCR? The japanese are not the sole producers of awkward teens.
This show isn't anime because it's awkward. It's anime because it's insanely over the top and constantly seeks to exceed itself.
I think its less the cringiness and more the outlandishness.
Like all of these plot lines read like Narita series like Durarara or Baccano
I need to know what this is and which episode it happens in... for research.
Don't. it gets worse and worse after an okay season 1.
Glad I dropped it.
Good god is that how Lili got roped into starring in Hustlers?
Lmao I made the same joke to my friends
The hell lol
Archie forms a group that's meant to deal with the serial killer that's terrorizing the town. They're called the Red Circle.
Season 2, Episode 3
it's a disaster but i haven't been able to look away, it didn't even start off this way, season 1 was legitimately solid.
I fell off Riverdale around the mid-season 2 hiatus because my brain was bad about catching up. But every single thing I hear about it since, while spoilers usually bother me, just makes me want to feel some of that wild bullshit energy again.
This situation goes on long enough, I'll finally cave.

we literally talked about this in the previous post I made. it is the least weird thing about riverdale.
I still can't get over the comic book vigilantes thing even as it became relatively normal. Because it's not even just that they did it and recorded that goofy shirtless YouTube video, it's that they also used the comic name. It'd be like if Archie came up to the rest of them and said "We'll threaten this serial killer because... we're the Justice League!!!", and the other wrestlers went "sure thing, bro".
My girlfriend watches this show, so I've seen an episode here and there. This show is fucking insane in the later seasons. I don't even know why they use the Archie characters, this shit is so far removed from those comics it's straight hilarious lol.

Getting reminiscent n this thread got me back to finishing up this season (fell off around ep 6 or so).
Just did Locked Room and... this arc has been legitimately thrilling, like I'm shocked.
*edit* oh now it's the obligatory musical episode

I LOVE how his friends have mysteriously been morphed into jacked 30-years old bodybuilders.
That's also when I stopped watching the series, after I really liked the first season. I even read the identity of the serial killer and went "what the fuck...?".
I stopped watching mid-way through season 3, I think.
Why in the beginning of season 3, Betty sees a baby floating?
Losing the comic for the show hurts a lot. And I was super hyped for the show.
Have you ever watched mexican or brazilian soap operas? "Anime" stuff is actually not exclusive to anime; quirky, insanely over the top "dramatic" writing is inherent to all mediums and countries.
Yes.
This show is DUMB and I love seeing what dumb shit they will do next. It's amazing.
