Camila Mendes Had To Gloss Up For Her Role On "Riverdale" 

I thought you were being serious for a second and I was like oh did you join a gang and street race to see who won the gang war and get attacked by a bear in Highschool?

Have u ever heard of Archie comics ? Cause they’re also trying to stand by it so of course these things are gonna be a part of it.

May I say something from the point of view of someone older without sounding like I lived in a strict environment and therefore clueless about the needs of today's kids? Obviously not, so here goes. Riverdale of the early comics, to me, represented real schools and real teenagers. I myself grew up in the 70s and 80s, watching Archie cartoons and reading the comics and actually enjoying them and knew by way of intuition that Archie and his gang represented. Period. Laugh now but the Archie of TV was corny, yeah, but he was very grounded in good values and did his best to live by them. Even when he went thru his crushes with Betty and Veronica, he wasn't licentious about it, like some teen male stereotype in American Pie, the type portrayed by the actor playing Archie on CW, KJ Apa. He was true to himself. Always. Archie on CW is a good man, true, but his character is rife with teen stereotypes, like getting laid by a rapacious teacher, Mrs Grundy of all people, who here has the looks of a milf porn star, and in truth was using "Mrs Grundy" as a false ID. The studio felt that using a 70 something actress for the part was not lucrative so a 40 something hooker type felt better to the CW. CW Archie comes off as the usual high schooler in films we keep seeing portrayed as following the dictates of his penis, instead of his common sense. To say "all men are like that" is inexcusable, and only a female will make this claim. It's not chauvinist, it's simply a truth you cannot accept yet but don't worry, reality is stronger. Jughead is seen on CW as Uber bright and reclusive and living on the fringe, seeing reality thru murky lenses. Anything CW will do to "reach kids of today" (Ching Ching) so they ruin the character of the character with no thought of the consequences. Jughead was quirky, fun loving, and nervous, and somewhat lesser on the IQ test than the reincarnation of Hunter Thompson you see as "the real Jughead" on the CW. Betty and Veronica are female stereotypes no different from those in 90210 from the 90s, or anything Nickelodeon would crank out in that same period. Josie and the Pussycats come off as all-black and thus all black stereotypes, freely ripped off from videos of En Vogue, Destiny's Child or Salt n Pepa with claims of representing strong black women which other black fans can see right thru as the lies they are. Josie of the past was more racially homogenized, more compassionate with kid fans, and thus more real than the all black version you see on CW. If this insults your intelligence, let's move on. Riverdale on CW as a whole says the exact same lie that MTV uses for its own hit shows, that they're reaching teenagers with real issues. Bullshit. The CW sees the teen audience as a target demographic, not as people with real issues or real struggles. (Please do not use "so did the early cartoons" as your excuse since this is insulting.) For the record the cast are remarkable actors, but they are working with scripts written by teams of writers dependent on clichés as old as the world's "oldest profession", and strung out on cocaine to get some inspiration for the next episode. Because of this Riverdale is stuck in the exact same cesspool of "realism" that had My So Called Life cancelled after one season and somehow had Claire Danes become a star in Homeland. It is never now, nor ever was, a portrayal of real teen problems, it's the indirect cause of more teen problems. Do I sound like I'm not living in reality? That I'm boorish and prudish. Sure, I got it, but I'm also a prude who speaks from my heart. I care about kids, and once got kicked out of church for standing up for children when the Bible teacher announced to his class that "children are wet cement", a false claim now used by CW as well. I write this not to condemn, but to liberate you because I feel it in my heart to do so. Your opinions will counter mine, I'm sure. I totally understand, but you are still misled in those opinions. I swear to you, Riverdale on CW is a big lie waiting to be exposed. You'll see for yourself.

@@ThomasSellers Aren't you taking it a little too seriously? It's a TV show. Of course it's a "lie", if that's how you want to put it. Isn't all fiction?

Riverdale also reminds us about the epic highs and lows of high school football. Good times!

@Edward Jam oh look, seems like the designated forum creep of this youtube thread has arrived... ^^

She is ugly /s

I was coming here to say that she seems really sweet and funny. It's nice to hear that she's just as nice in real life. :)

Edward Jam that comment was so unnecessary and you are disgusting.

Popsugar? Me too :)

Disgraced Ape she really does😔🥺

But at least it got her name out there so she can actually get cast in a really good show or movie.

All the cast deserves better. They have amazing actors, an amazing set but the writers act as if they are doing everyone a favour just by existing.

I swear. You can tell she's a good actress but with that bad a script there's only so much one can do

Honestly: life could be worse.

Right, she's so charming

trevis02 ikr! camila makes it so easy :)

No placenta? 😲

@@fleurhufflepuff2198 Brazilians say this in SOME REGIONS... Brazil is a very big country honey

Em que parte do Brasil falam isso?

She 100% meant it as a joke

Could you tell me the original expression in Portuguese?

I thought the same thing. I watch the show. But she does seem very sweet and lovely.

💜💜

@Mihir Patel There's nothing creepy about @Paulo's comment. And apparently 282 people agree.

Mihir Patel You must be a vegan

He said "wut"

Lotte Lot why is this so true

Lol I'm going too agree with u but I'm so lost lol

PutinWithAnimals it's actually pretty good, it just it can be a bit cringe

@@LisaLisa001 Everything well?

Purplox in the comics

Purplox they really were not.

@@artix123456789 Right, right... riiiiiiiight..... yup.

Daniel Bathen the first season was good to me then 2nd3rd4th sucks 😂

moopy moop it had a lot of potential to being a really good show during season one, then it went downhill ever since. It also has no likable characters either (except for archies dad).

Yeah she even went to university with Cole and Dylan Sprouse and now shes friends and working with them 😂😂

@@fadleadam lol damn that's funny

@@fadleadam though she didn't knew them personally, as they were trying to be blending in the real world ex Disney stars 😅

@@chrissiek8706 yeah that's exactly my point... that's why I said "now" she is friends with them lol

Yep

Amazing how it also has no likable characters either

I liked all episodes but the 1st episode was the best

Fresh manure isn't hard, it's soft!

No

Warning it's more campy stylistic than it is teen drama but it's a fun watch!

Its trash but entertaining to watch idk how to explain it

@@shootersshoot5004 its camp man. It gets us all
