Riverdale: The Biggest Anomaly in TV History 

thats the best explanation I heard so far

This is still a more coherent and believable story line than anything Riverdale has produced post season 1

So its a riverdale story itself

It has to be the only reason why it’s still on the air.

Watch this be the season 6 plot twist

it doesn’t fit in, and it doesn’t wanna fit in.

Like have you ever see it without that stupid writing? That's weird.

riverdale fans: "i hate this word"

Weirdos make great superheroes. I love weirdos. The Hulk, early nerdy Spider-Man, Nightcrawler,etc. Riverdale isn’t weird. It’s like the kid who wanted to be cool from school who didn’t grow up and got a job for free for writing and pushed his fantasies as stories.

@@dingle2987 you could almost say that Riverdale's the damaged loner outsider from the wrong side of the tracks

I usually see this joke on Twitter, but fuck, here is real

That's what happens when people try to tell a story that isn't theirs without consulting the community they're talking about. The writers end up using their own limited understanding, which is often also prejudiced if they're dealing with a marginalised group. The writer will only have the experience they learned from other media prejudiced media, so those tropes will come up over and over again. Like, the fact that Kevin was cruising for sex from the age of 16 in the woods? Made me fucking howl. The writers genuinely think gay guys still have to run around in the woods like it's the 80's in the Midwest. If a real gay guy was knocking around the set or empowered to make any calls over the script, he probably would've vetoed that in favour of awkward car hook-ups or meeting up at someone's house, because that's what most gay teens do these days- a lot like straight teens. But there wasn't and so we end up with this cartoonish character of Kevin, who looks, acts and sounds like the 'sassy gay friend' or uwu fanfic characterisation of a gay guy that all these women thought they were going to tame and domesticate as a 'gay bestie' at college, and the male writers worried were going to hit on them.

@@darthzaida1881 Roberto, the showrunner, is gay tho. Honestly I think he suffers from the same issue Ryan Murphy had: favoring their beloved straight jock with a heart of gold (see Finn, Sam, Archie, etc). I don't know if it's because that's the kind of guy they are attracted to or they simply love that archetype but its something.

Yeah it is also queerbaiting- trying to attract a queer audience by appearing queer but not rejecting a homophobic audience by not really engaging in is For example putting the fake lesbian kiss in the trailer hinting at an open queer relationship in the center of the plot, having queer sidekicks whose only characteristic is being gay- Betty's best friend and not showing queer scenes to the same extent as straight ones

@@rociohernandez3077 Oh, wow, shut me I up! I had no idea, I guess Roberto is just so bad at writing gay people he had me thinking he wasn't. What a talent.

Lol

Accurate description of my neurodivergent day dreams

OMG, that's hilarious!! 😄

There were like one or two musical episodes he was a part of on suite life

hes actually a really good singer tho, at least in these musical episodes

@@greyblueme9711 true but the singing was done by dylan, his twin lol

@@ariyatabassumabdullah1143 thought both of them sung 🤔

Also, after Disney he was officially done with acting but decided to give it another chance for this project... That's just sad.

I love you for this, this, exactly. People discount the immaturity of older teenagers CONSTANTLY, and it completely takes away from how immature and impressionable even they are. The switch of maturity doesn't flip when you hit 17,18,19,20 it takes time and life experience to develop and im very sad that this was part of HIS first moments of adult life experience!

Virgin alert

Same thing with Taylor Lautner he was only 17 during the early Twilight movies

At 19 he's old enough to understand what he's getting into by agreeing to perform on _Riverdale._

​@@BiggieTrismegistus No, he really isn't

Riverdale is an SCP That traps actors in never ending nonsensical suffering

They could have at any time just quit

@@codyrm86well, they do have contracts that lock them in for multiply seasons(and the notoriety of this show could be helpful for their careers, so that could be another reason), but I see what you mean.

@@codyrm86 It's typical for contracts to be for six seasons so no...not before season 6 wraps could they just quit unless they'd like to be sued by the network for breach of contract.

Its painful just painful

Jughead mentioned it this new season, but he wasn't around during that scene which would imply Archie said that more than once

@@girlsgokawaii that cracked me up, like Riverdale was acknowledging their own bad writing and cringe 🌝🌝💀

As someone who hasn’t never watched the show, I believe that would happen honestly

Has never or hasn't ever. @@OIeka

i totally, totally feel you abt that whole hard boiled, 3 pack a day, coffee stained, intense city detective thing her character does it’s so weird. if my 17 year old niece came to me with that i would just laugh in her face…even if i _was_ an organ harvesting cult leader abt to take off in a rocket ship like a clearance rack Evil Knievel.

GREAT POINT! This show shows kids making all kinds of stupid decisions to do dangerous things yet never experiencing any negative consequences!

​@@LiddlestLady But it was so much in the spirit of the show. How could I ask such a person to begone from my temple?

Or Kids.

@@filipe19991 Or teenagers

I'll never understand how predators can be so obvious and vocal with their inappropriate and dangerous attraction to teenagers and not end up getting caught by law inforcement

Or family reunions.

@@luh.4968 Honestly? Because as a society people collectively decided that the onus will always be on the victim to protect themself because predators gonna predate. People always say what they'd do if they ever "saw that" in real life but they see the shit every day, it just doesn't personally affect them. Then when it does they're the first assface on the news saying "There were no signs, [the predator] seemed so normal".

Or at least it should make sense! like there are some breadcrumbs that will lead you there.

plot twists should be good enough to make you want to reread/ rewatch it to see if you could look back on the clues and foreshadowing. half the fun is trying to figure it out while you’re consuming it and going back knowing the twist.

Yeah, because then you start going back to find the crumbs that were already there. Then you go OOOOH NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE. I mean sure, twists we didn't see coming can be done well, but I feel like a lot of writers misinterpret it as "the audience can never know".

@@AndriaSilvaful ll

or, at least, it gives the illusion that you could’ve figured it out(even if you couldn’t)

Seriously, she seemed SO kind and genuinely wanted to help a person.

When I read this comment I hadn't gotten to that part yet and I had also forgotten there's a character called Hermione in the series so I was sitting here like: "Bro got Emma Watson in his video, wutwhy? @_@"

I met her on a fanexpo back in 2019 (I was a hardcore fan before shit hit the fan, also I was 13-14 LMAO) and she was SOOO lovely. Like she listened to me, was so patient when I struggled with English, and was just over all amazing! I honestly felt so bad cause it was her, Natalie Bolt (Cheryl’s mom, who is also incredible) and Madeline, and everyone was lining up to Madeline and Marisol and Natalie were just sitting there 😭🤚🏼

Or maybe there is no writers' room and the entirety of Riverdale was based off Roberto's dream journal, because at this point that the only thing that would explain that mess of a plot for me tbh

oh man this was way too hilarious. Honestly I vote for option "all of the above"

Ok, now that was hilarious😂

AN EROTIC CHEESEMAKER😭

I've done a lot of writing while smoking pot, and my writing *improves* because I'm not as hung up second-guessing myself, so I don't think it's that one. xD

Omg this comment is amazing

Yes it's hilarious. 🙂

How did you leave out "fireman"?

Yup, and a really hot one for eye candy BUT REALLY REALLY NOT in a good way for a tv series o_0

Not a Native American though, because PC.

wait what?

Jughead was suposed to be în that scene în the Woods with betty veronica and archie. The actor ( cole) didnt want to be naked în the forest at 4 am for that scene so they filmed it without him. So they made the whole season about how betty archi and veronica might have killed jughead. They did that based on that scene where Cole didnt want to be in :)))

I mean, any other job you'd be fired but he is/was a huge draw for the show so they obviously wouldn't. Surprised he didn't refuse the musical episodes tbh.

@@annas.8902 They were probably held at gunpoint when they pitched it to them.

to be fair that job sucks lmao

They actually put time travel in it? Oh good god...

​@@snekladyrobin yep. They also put superpowers, traveling into alternate dimensions, the devil, and witches

I was about to comment on this time stamp with "There is now !" xD

The fact this video was made before the most recent season is criminal. The most recent season truly was the magnum opus

@@sheylaanglesey3511oh. My god.

this has to be the only comment that i saw addressing this!!

😂😂 lol

HAHA yes exactly, i couldn’t have said it better

That's the funniest analogy I've ever heard im using this-

I tried to watch it when it first came out and I didn't like it that much and I'm so glad I didn't get into it because this writing drives me crazy

Lmao

More shows need to be set in college in my opinion 1) actually getting away with older actors bc the characters are adults 2) things are actually legal and sex scenes aren’t as weird bc they aren’t underaged 3)it still has the nice school feel just older 4)you can still pertain to teen audiences but also reach and older audience too bc the characters are closer to their age 5)way more freedoms 6)still relatable bc its still school 7) you could also focus on the characters interests more bc there would be school majors and job opportunities 8) people wouldn’t be sexualizing underage characters

@@meeieio I think the target audience is middle and high schoolers and I just don't think those kids find college as interesting. Theres not as much in the collective mind of what college "looks like", like there is with high school. Middle schoolers romanticize high school a million times more than high schoolers romanticize college

That's a better idea for an Archie adaptation. Say the stuff from the comics happened, but the characters are older and different now.

@ euphoria

That’s what S5 was should’ve been

You gotta give props to the actor for being able to say that line with a start face

This comment is going to achieve insane heights!

I LOOVEEE THIS COMMENT HAHAHAHAHAHA

This show is not like other shows! Duh!

Haha

Lmao mood 💀💀

@AmiePage Exactly. They need to respect their actors or let them go. I'm sure it's not easy for them but they have to stand up and just say *No*

Imagine they did and then just killed him off lmao

@@Yamismol That would've been infitinely cooler than whatever the hell Riverdales storylines are

Same, I've never watched any of Riverdale, but am here watching a 2.5 hour video about it 😅

Yep, this, Jenny Nicholson's Vampire Diaries video and Mike's Mic Glee videos are all awesome comfort videos about shows I will never watch

People think asexual means aromantic AND sex repulsed. I mean... Show me a person who never had sex with their partner while they weren't in the mood, but the partner was. It's really not that difficult to imagine. (Just that part of the experience, though. I'm not pretending to understand the asexual experience because I had sex with my partner for their pleasure when I wasn't in the mood)

Holy shit, did I just find out that I’m asexual? I dated a woman for a while and I was more than happy to have sex with her because I just loved knowing she was enjoying it, but I always found it physically clunky and awkward, and I was looking forward to the kiss afterwards and then some hand-holding 😂 I figured it was my fun combo of autism and sexual trauma but maybe sex just isn’t my cup of tea!

Asexual means you don't experience sexual attraction, not that you don't enjoy sex. So maybe you just have low libido (like me, I am bisexual but don't actively seek sex) @@bobbieparry646

@@bobbieparry646 Well yeah it's possible you're asexual honestly XD Just wanted to say like it's a spectrum (you might be collecting spectrums XD no but actually like almost everything in life is a spectrum), and so there is other identities like I'm demi sexual, so I can only feel sexual attraction towards those I have big feelings for for me even only romantic (but not all demi sexual it just have to be strong feelings/link), and so I experience sexuality in a kind of way bc in a relation with someone I am attracted to I'm still more on the ace spec than others could be like sex even with those I'm attracted to is just one more activity I can do with them, I enjoy it and enjoy making them feel good, but even though I can feel horny for them it's not like I ever feel I deeply "need" sex kinda. And I know others demi sexual are "kinda like not ace once it's with those they have feelings for", like my partner is also demi sexual but once it's someone he has big feelings for and his attracted to he's living the attraction in a non ace way XD Don't know if it's clear but yeah just look into all that and talk with people that "know" where they are in all that and you might understand yourself a bit better ^^ I know I felt relieved to understand what I was bc before I was just kinda lost like I just didn't knew if I could feel sexual attraction or romantic attraction etc, and it's not it would have been a pb for me to not do, just I was constantly unsure about it all, and knowing I was demi sexual has been "usefull" in a way bc I know I can do things with someone I don't love without being disguted etc and just to make others feel good and I don't know I find it valuable to know XD

Plenty of ace people also have libidos (best explanation I’ve seen: “attraction says ‘this one,’ libido says ‘right now.’”) so for fuck’s sake, you could even still have Jughead enthusiastically initiating! IT’S NOT HARD TO INCLUDE US, ASSHOLES!

Probably one of the most infamous lines!

I burst into tears everytime I see this line 😭😭😭😭

I was attacked by a bear.

Wait, Riverdale was set in HIGH SCHOOL?!?! Oh yeah, I completely forgot because it seems to be about literally everything but.

omg i was the 1 like you needed for 1k likes !! :)

Same but the commentary is quite entertaining

Same, watching this as I do laundry and make dinner 😅

I remember the hype when the first season came out, but once season 2 came out I heard no mention of the show again , and watched it for myself just recently and I’ll be honest season 1 and 2 were great but the other seasons had so much going on I couldn’t keep up season 6 I remember passing out and waking up and hearing they have super powers and was beyond confused season 7 came around and it was ok but the ending was not what I was expecting, I expected it to end with jughead sitting in the diner writing and Archie Betty and Veronica come in like “hey jug you finish your story??” But no

No it’s ,” I’m not like other boys”

……..more ‘O’s’ is…..weird

I respectfully disagree because of something your probably not thinking about. They were disregarding their actors comfort when they could have done this is other ways like indoors or on even just a less cold day or earlier so its warmer, even just putting them by a fire or giving them blankets. Like he dosen't act on this show for fun and they want him to strip naked in the freezing woods for no reason when they could film on a better day. Like why did it need to be 3 am on that day that was "Particularly cold". I feel like he had the right to refuse to shoot that day. He might get paid alot but it's still a job and an employer is still asking him to freeze in the woods nearly naked and it's not like he can quit without getting sued. Remember directors nearly always do scenes multiple times ontop of failed takes it's not usually infact almost never one good take and there done. Plus they would probably be rushed on set because they would be losing the lighting they wanted. You would probably refuse too lol

@@captainsebt Oh love! He wasn’t shaming Cole Sprouse! He was saying the writers do not care about making the script good because they just added a random whole new plot for shock value because of the scene. He was saying it’s ridiculous an extremely lazy comparing it to probably one of the most common ways of being lazy: not getting out of bed because they didn’t want to. Basically, the writers did not care about the plot at all because they didn’t want to. Most good writers plan ahead, unlike the ones from Riverdale. Tbh, a lot of people wouldn’t put themselves in an uncomfortable situation like that 🤷‍♀️ I sure as hell wouldn’t! Cole had every right to say no.

I once saw a clip of an interview with Cole about the Heathers episode where he said "Well, at this point Riverdale is whatever it is from week to week..." he sounded so tired

I honestly question why they didn't quit the show yet

V was vulnerable in earlier seasons. There was that scene in the bathroom of her sobbing & B holding her when V thought that her parents were the cause of Ethel's dad's suicide attempt. She cried in the courtroom when Archie was sentenced to juvenile detention & B comforted her there, too. IDK what happened, but they screwed up B&V's friendship, too, which was hugely popular with fans (which is why Cami & Lili had so many media appearances, photoshoots, ad campaigns, & interviews together).

The thing is, that could work. Internalized and structured(?) homophobia is a thing and specially gay people doesn't notice how they're being somewhat homophobic themselves, because sometimes it's something that's so common on our society that we don't see the problematics of it. So, if the show actually talked about this, it could be a great way to show how homophobia is something so rooted in our society. Cheryl could learn from Toni or any other gay character that she shouldn't do or say somethings. That could even teach the audience how not to act. But nah, she's just a jerk

ive seen edits of cheryl and she radiates lesbian energy and this is coming from a lesbian

@@nattyism she surely does radiate lesbian energy (and I'm a lesbian myself), but her being lesbian doesn't have any major affect on her character, nor does her relationship with Toni or their breakups. It's almost like is just there to fill a checklist, because I can be totally erased and doesn't matter at all to the show or to the characters.

@Bille Nye The Russian Spy I am not sure, but as long as I'm aware, she only has romantic interest in women. She mentions a girl in her past that her mom took away from her, she was obsessed with Josie, and she got involved with Toni. I don't recall her mentioning having anything for a guy before, though, we are talking about 4 seasons with 12-23 episodes each, so maybe there's some information that I don't remember. I am sure that Toni is bi, but I am not sure about Cheryl's sexuality.

@Bille Nye The Russian Spy oh, you're right! I totally forgot about this, I guess because it came out of nowhere and it ended up being completely pointless, either way, you're welcome :D

What if that’s the story of my life though?!

I would not be surprised if he came out with a story on sexual harassment in the workplace by a director. Like the speakers at the “me too” movement spoke of. Poor guy is being objectified the whole time.

@@username_creates6991 yeah, I feel like directors sometimes forget actors are people and not dolls to recreate your fantasies

@@username_creates6991 not "me too" plz...😒

Power move

really attests to the star power of Cole Sprouse compared to everyone else on the show. no one else would've gotten away with that.

Like, why didn't they just, write out them needing to be naked? I've never seen the show but SURELY that would have been less work!

@@internetexplorer6304 ok wait I can't remember if I've seen this or not why was Jughead under water naked?!

@rorolilred Bro I have no idea I don't watch the show 🤣 I just see the buck wild clips. Something about a demon ritual?

NOMNOMNOM

Yep yep yep !!!

Yes!

Hello @shanspeare ! 🌟

Hi Shanspeare happy to see you here.

I CANT BELIEVE THE CROSSOVER HAPPENED!!!!!

AMANDA IS TRAPPED IN NINJA’S VIDEO!! WE NEED TO HELP HER GET OUT!!

the cognitive dissonance

Pack it up Troy Bolton

Yep, because that's TOTALLY the exact same thing! Also, great to catch you on another channel, Amanda!

I'm on the ace spectrum myself and tbh I'm torn... On one hand it would've been great to see some representation, but on the other hand, seeing how all other instances of representation in this show went, maybe it's a good thing they left their hand off the asexual character :')

@BK Beatty he's confirmed asexual, not aromantic if I'm not wrong

The show's erasure of an asexual character didn't cause people to be "openly aphobic online." The mob did that; don't blame the show. They would have been just as dismissive of a character's lack of interest in sex if they were part of their ship as they are with a character's heterosexual orientation. Cheryl is/was hetero in the comics & in S1. But there was such demand to get Beronica together, which they had said they'd never do (until they did) because it wasn't canon, that I think they made Cheryl lesbian & gave viewers Porny,- I mean Choni,- to distract from Beronica. People shipped Archie & Jughead. They do this with ACTORS, too, not just their characters. That's what annoys me most. There's no respect for people's boundaries. All that matters is the fans' head canons. It seems nobody can just be heterosexual anymore. That's not trendy. Also, there's no reason why 2 women who are both attracted to women can't be friends with each other WITHOUT being sexually involved. I've had very close, lasting friendships w/ 2 friends, all of us single & either lesbian or bi, & I've never wanted to date either & vice versa. There's almost no respect for deep, loving friendships & non-sexual touch anymore. EVERY relationship gets sexualized.

I love your pfp

shes actually an absolute angel. she worked as an undercover op with the FBI for years to catch predators and traffickers of young children! she doesnt just say nice things, she takes action. legend.

@@serahbay8864 Based if true.

I said the same thing

@@serahbay8864 are you serious rn bc im about to become her biggest fan

At a certain point, Cheryl's actress said that a break up between Cheryl and Toni could break Cheryl entirely and most likely make her worse and feeling lost or something like this. Then we cut to them actually breaking up about 2 or 3 times now without any consequences on them or their relationship. So yeah, the actress made more sense than the actual writers.

@loveutill theendoftimes it's very sad honestly

Nobody cares about diversity in tv, especially when it’s forced 🤷‍♀️. Also, gays are literally everywhere in riverdale wtf are you complaining about 😂😂

Black on black homicide is the #1 killer of African American men. I guess black lives don't matter when black people kill black people. Fun fact: It used to be insulting to call people black. They wanted to be called Afro-Americans, then African Americans. The latter term stuck for a long time until some people started using the term black again. There are people who never stopped calling themselves black since the '60s.

Except that now so many young people's "knowledge" and "experiences" are so tainted by victim culture that's it makes determining legit criticisms from those that are put into their heads by biased media reporting & the beliefs of their peers. Cops kill people of all colors. Black cops kill black people. There was a white man named Tony Timpa who called the police himself b/c he was off his meds, who ended up dead when they put him on the ground & put their weight on his back. Why did you hear SO MUCH about George Floyd, but nothing about Tony Timpa, when their deaths were so similar? Things that make you go, "Hmmm." While FOX Noise started this politically biased conflation of news & opinion shit, the plethora of news sources has just caused division in our country because virtually all news sources now are biased. The Left is just as guilty of biased reporting as the Right.

It seems to me that equality means treating all characters alike. Shonda Rhimes, the black woman power producer behind Grey's Anatomy said she creates characters without considering race and auditions are open to anyone. That led to Christina being Asian American, Callie being Latina, Bailey & the Chief of Surgery being black. It wasn't because she had quotas. They were the best actors for those parts. That show has been going for how long now? 18 years? I know they had the first wedding between 2 female main ensemble characters on prime time broadcast TV back in 2011. They had both inter-racial and single-race relationships. Every black person didn't have to date a white person! LOL It was a progressive show.

@@DonnaBrookswhat

I definitely thought Cole had finally had enough lol

I think if Cole does just throw his hands up and quit they'll try and bribe Dylan into taking the role

@@dirtydan5281 lol, so true

@@dirtydan5281 I think Dylan wouldn't be that foolish to take the role.

dirty dan Dylan's doing Chinese dramas now, Riverdale would be a real downgrade for him LMAO

Oh yeah, that was painful.

You could say literally anything about Riverdale and I’d believe you at this point

@@sigh824 Betty and Archie are actually secretly dating behind Veronica and jughead's back, Betty is a secret vampire and Veronica is actually a robot who came there to collect information on Riverdale but broke through the code
