RIVERDALE TALKBACK THREAD

Let's watch the CW's newest comic book musical murder mystery teen drama together.

>SERIES PREMIERE — As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is still the all-American teen, but the summer’s events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — not follow in his dad Fred’s (Luke Perry) footsteps — despite his forbidden relationship with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (guest star Sarah Habel). With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Archie must look for a new music mentor and turns to Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) but she is focused solely on her band, Josie and the Pussycats. Weighing heavily on his mind is also his fractured friendship with budding writer Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she’s not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty’s nerves, which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick), aren’t the only thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols), there’s an undeniable spark between her and Archie, but Veronica doesn’t want to risk her new friendship with Betty. And then there’s Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch), Riverdale’s Queen Bee, who is happy to stir up trouble amongst the others even though she’s keeping a few secrets of her own.

ITT: Everything that's wrong with this board and pop culture in general

I pray this is as insane as it seems.

Don't watch this garbage let it get cancelled so they can put Constantine in it's place

Is this satire or literal? Could be good either way if they go crazy with it

Quit being a fucking cuck.

Little bit of both.

When Betty is off her meds, she goes into a dissociative state in which she believes she's her wayward older sister Polly and has slightly murderous tendencies.

>Constantine

It's not coming back.

Let it go.

>DUDE EDGY ARCHIE LMAO

DCunts will defend this

I'm almost tempted to watch this trainwreck.

Ah, fuck it, I've got nothing better to do tonight.

Archie isn't DC.

Psssh...Archie has some of the best comics going, buddy. No shit. Its great stuff.

Let me just go to my favorite streaming site and

oh

I'm using Site 3.

IT BEGINS

Archie's really phoning it in.

Why does Cheryl look like a downie?

>Our town is perfect
>Look too hard and you see the shady underbelly

DIS GON BE GOOD

A long time ago.
We used to be friends.
But I haven't thought of you lately at all.

Soulless ginger freaks!

>DIS GON BE GOOD
and by good, you mean so bad it's kinda fun

things are getting weird in riverdale...

I am okay with this being a vmars knockoff

>May Jason Blossom burn in Hell

Christ, what a bitch.

Not!Eva Longoria as Veronica's mom.

The acting is so shit

For the most part, yes.
This feels like they heard about Twin Peaks' revival series coming later this year and thought they could do it better.

Nobody likes gingers. Dead-eyed creepy faggots.

LIGHTNING GAVE ARCHIE ABS

What if Archie was Veronica Mars / Twin Peaks?! LMAO!

This is so CW it hurts

>do it better

Nah, it's not that pretentious.

>Betty is a slut

Sup Forums does not approve.

I hope Kevin gets hate crimed.

The Lodges were supposed to be old money WASPs. Why are they now Hispanic? It makes more sense for Betty to be Hispanic.

She's not a slut. She's a fag hag. That's Kevin, her gay bff.

This is like a Funny or Die parody.

Why is Veronica wearing a wizard cloak?

My stream is lagging a bit; I caught that afterwards.
A bit neat that they put Kevin in the series, but I should have seen it coming.

Truth be told: I know nothing about this series.

Because this town is only lit by neon lights.

7 minutes in and being betty is suffering

If they get Sabrina in on this and go full paranormal Twin Peaks with this show, I might enjoy this.

>blunt reference drops
That's Aguirre-Sacasa's hallmark

>6 minutes in
>Betty already cucked
REE?

Earn that paycheck, Luke Perry.

WHAT'S THAT SOUND?

ARCHIE'S WEIRD MYSTERIES

I am familiar with the works of Truman Capote

Not until Season Two, when the ratings are so low they'll do anything to keep a job.

This show is very realistic.

Sabrina is confirmed for the season finale and season 2.

According to the showrunner, she'll be "more Rosemary's Baby and less Melissa Joan Hart".

...

Reggie's going to rape Archie, isn't he?

So even less enjoyable.

Because desu who gives a shit about Rosemary's Baby

>all this poetry
>and no Sugar Sugar

This is awful

Time for triggering

He sucking that pipe.

BLACKED

Reggie is Asian?!

Score one for r/asianmasculinity

they better go full archie's weird mysteries next season

why is josie black

>Veronica keeps dropping movie references
I feel like I should be endeared to her, but I'm really not.

>Josie and the Pussycats are black
I don't care.

>Everyone saying Twin Peaks since initial trailers
>TP actress shows up

hahaha wtf

which one is valerie

Why isnt archie a ginger?

Because Diversity means more blacks

If it gets that far. Though whom I kidding. CW drags this shit out for seasons.

They should have gone Archie's Weird Mysteries THIS season.

I just wish they'd get to Jughead's Noir bullshit already.
That's looking to be the only entertaining part.

OH GOD IT'S HOT COUGAR MRS GRUNDY

Its like Watchdogs 2 comes off more as cringe than cheeky fun.

Tonally defunct.

Oh CW

>Read my glossed lips, Justin Ginger-lake
I don't like her.

>They aren't dating, but they are endgame
I thought it was Dillon who ended up being the time-walker.

Agreed; I'm waiting for Cole Sprouse already, dammit.

>Suddenly, teacher/student sex
I don't care.

that's amazing

>this makeup commercial
>inb4 triggered Sup Forums

It's getting a Seed show (^:

>yfw the murder was done by a creature from the black lagoon

>No full credit sequence

Darn.

Kevin wasn't even this much of a fag in the comics.

They are. Eventually everyone will be investigating Jason Blossom's death.

HOT
DICKINGS

Wonder if Mr. Weatherbee will be a slobbering pedophile or something

>Justin Timberlake

Damn that's a outdated reference.

Livewire is out?

>According to the showrunner, she'll be "more Rosemary's Baby

So, wait, is he admitting to being a child rapist?

I'm more triggered by another shitty resident evil movie than some fashion tranny in a make up ad

He means she'll be the literal Devil.

Archie is the one Ginger Hollywood can't get away with making black, so they had to settle with Josie

If everybody has a secret, it kind of waters it down.

Archie is not fucking Mr Weatherbee!

I think the librarian look is better for Mrs. Grundy

Luke no

Nah just a All American Super Solider that liked men.

>Implying he won't be a hot dilf to even the scores

We can bet right now on who will want to fuck him, Betty or Veronica.

Which is funny because they could have just had Archie hooking up with Val like in that book.

DRAMATIC NEW GIRL LUNCH SCENE

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

Librarian looks are ALWAYS the best.

Why is veronica shoehorning old ass references in everything she says?

Missing this because of work how is it so far?

>Archie writes songs
The Archies vs. Josie + Pussycats confirmed for Battle of the Bands.

Insecurity.

If you hadn't noticed, this show isn't really doing the whole "using established Archie characterization" thing.

SHOTS FIRED.

KEVIN BTFO BY CHERYL "MIKE PENCE" BLOSSOM
