What do the writers have against Veronica lately? Riverdale, Afterlife with Archie, and the reboot to a mild degree portray her so negatively and lean towards Betty/Archie so much. Did they forgdt Veronica is a nice character even if she is a spoiled brat sometimes?
What do the writers have against Veronica lately? Riverdale, Afterlife with Archie...
Ethan Richardson
John Harris
I suppose so. The thing about Ronnie is that to see the good aspects of her character you need to read the stories that show it, whereas on the surface, in most stories, people just see Veronica across from Betty and just see a spoiled rich girl next to a combination tomboy/homemaker. There's also been a long-time running gag that Betty is better for Archie (but only slightly, most of the time he makes a list of pros/cons and Betty wins by a hair), but he keeps staying with Ronnie because she's smoking hot.
Personally, Veronica is my pick every time. She's worth seeing beneath the surface. You want irredeemable spoiled rich cunt? There's Cheryl Blossom.
Adam Murphy
Ronnie hasn't had it nearly as bad as Reggie when it comes to writers treatment.
Hunter Torres
Because those are the Ultimates 3 versions of the characters.
Oliver Bell
What do Betty and Veronica even see in Archie?
They're both too good for him, and maybe I'm projecting, but a lot of their fights seem to indicate to me an unresolved tension between each other with Archie just being a pawn in it.
Josiah Flores
In the main Archive title Veronica is portrayed as a victim of circumstance. Most of the negative traits she shows are from being sheltered or her dad taking advantage of her
Andrew Walker
Jughead is the superior choice. Only problem is he's only interested in hamburgers.
Angel Jackson
That's the joke. He's not that amazing yet ir a chick magnet.
Sometimes he's presented as a cool, cute musician and an athlete while other times he's a nerdy jerk that is average looking at best.
Grayson Lopez
...
Andrew Anderson
His game is strong.
Daniel Carter
No one likes Reggie. He is the least popular major character. He's just not that redeemable enough
Grayson Lewis
heh
Adrian Allen
Who reads Archie, anyways?
Juan Robinson
But seriously, I'm tempted to lay all my Archies around and take a picture of myself like these.
Henry Gutierrez
>Texas Randall, from Texas
You poor, poor Child. Your parents were monsters.
If you're a QT3.14 like these ladies, do it user.
Liam Adams
I read Archie more than DC or Marvel
Levi Cook
I was looking at the Archie section in previews and was amazed that they were doing so many comics I wanted
Mason Torres
You. I like you.
Adrian Kelly
>What do Betty and Veronica even see in Archie?
He's got The Gland. The Harem Protagonist Gland.
Elijah Price
Its because the current writers have good taste
Charles Parker
Veronica likely represents everything most liberal writers (since most Hollywood/comic writers fall into that camp) hate therefore it's easy for them to shit on her.
Ian Perry
is Archie written for girls?
Zachary Williams
I read the first issue and it was good. I need to check out more. I also wanna check out the one with the cat superhero guy
Gavin Long
It used to be a bit different.
Archie loved Veronica, but NOT Betty. Veronica was not that attached to Archie, while Betty was literally crazy about Archie, insane and delusional to a near dangerous degree. Archie was just an asshole: he'd go after Veronica, and when she gets tired of him, he'd settle for Betty because she's an easy option he doesn't have to work for, and then when Veronica is available again he'd run after her and leave Betty in the dirt.
Xavier White
>while Betty was literally crazy about Archie, insane and delusional to a near dangerous degree
I'll take that.
Blake Collins
>see Riverdale trailer
>Betty is the cute, sweet, girl next door
>Ronnie is a femme fatale man eater
When must BettyxArchie fans always try to make Betty a saint whle demonizing Veronica? It's even slipping into official material now. Why make Betty onto a generic rich bitch character?
Nolan Long
Maybe the older Archie fans grew up and got jobs writing for it. They shipped Betty and Archie and are still mad at Veronica, clearly.
Xavier Brown
I prefer betty and this still makes me mad
Dominic Jones
The kid's bascially stuck his dick in every girl in Riverdale who wasn't Big Ethel.
Michael Cooper
It kinda looks that way on the surface but it was also written by (and somewhat for) middle aged men.

Luke Young
Because in media for the Betty Veronica trope they always push the guys to chose the Betty to try to teach men to take that ugly girl who "was right in front of you all along" and "who will make a great mother" to enforce making men lower their standards
On the other hand if a girl is picking she will always take the male Veronica over the male Betty because Betty "is boring" and Veronica "is an exciting bad boy" who will most likely either pump and dump her or end up beating her.
TL;DR Veronica is being fucked over by a trope
Julian Roberts
Yea pretty much, girls only like men that other girls like
Alexander Mitchell
People shorten Veronica to Ron or Ronnie instead of Vero?
Aaron Martinez
>Vero Vera
Hunter Lewis
They also shorten Elizabeth to Betty.
I've never heard "Vero"
Ryan Hughes
>Vero
Never heard of it.
Aiden Jackson
>and that's how Archie and Jughead learn the music industry is filled with nothing but thieves
Jackson Russell
So what does a guy like Jughead do once he gets older?
Charles Torres
They'd probably be happy to be trendsetter.
James White
He becomes the owner of a large chain of burger restaurants.

I dunno why but that's funny as fuck to me.
Luis Phillips
Veronica is kind of a bitch compared to Betty. She doesn't really treat Archie that well compared to Betty and they seem to be equal in attractiveness, so really I don't see what Archie sees in HER.
Has the latest issue of the "Betty and Veronica" comic come out? The one about Pop's store being bought out by a coffee chain owned by Veronica's dad?
Robert Sullivan

You've never heard of the saying that the hardest catches are the most attractive?

When does this actually happen? I always thought the opposite was generally true. Every romantic comedy or show aimed at girls has the main girl get together with the nice guy and not the bad boy. Like Bridget Jones' Diary for example.
Wyatt Watson
Every taylor swift song. You belong to me Havok fucks betty. Every other swift song she sings about wanting to fuck a bad boy,
And at least TV tropes agrees with me
>In genderflipped cases, the Veronica usually has the edge, especially if the story is aimed at women, and if the (male) Betty wins, you can bet the fanfic writers will race to fix that.
Lucas Perry
Victor Gorelick on Harry Lucey -
>Harry [Lucey] was as dedicated as they came. I remember Harry delivering a job three hours late. He came to the art department covered with blood. He had been hit by a car. Though not seriously hurt, he should have gone to a hospital. No way. He had to keep that deadline. He took some white paint, cleaned up the blood from the artwork and went home. Amazing.
Harry also drew the girls naked, leaving his inker to add the clothes. He was just that kind of dude.
Jordan Ortiz
Not quite my tempo.
Kevin Moore
>Harry also drew the girls naked, leaving his inker to add the clothes. He was just that kind of dude.
The hero we all deserve

We've got to find out which issue this was.
Jaxson Flores
Yeah, girls LOVE "bad boys" but want guys to only like good girls. It's bullshit. Look at Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Twilight, or literally every YA series written, with the exception of the Hunger Games. And in this case, the fandom seems to be largely for Peeta.
