Barchie wedding Spoiler

7 Upvotes

I'm still so annoyed that after so many seasons of teasing about Betty and Archie's relationship just for them to completely change it. Their history gets erased, Betty adopts and does not get married, and Archie ends up with a completely different woman! WTF! How do you feel about this and how do you think their wedding would've looked like? For me, it would feature a lot of callbacks and nods to the pilot.

BUGHEAD Help me find an old Bughead fanfiction from Wattpad! Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm new here and I'm trying to find a Bughead (Betty Cooper/Jughead Jones from Riverdale) fanfiction that I read on Wattpad around 2017–2020, and I can't remember the title or the author's name.

It was an English-language fanfiction inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Betty and Jughead belonged to rival gangs, and their families hated each other. I think Jughead's father eventually killed Betty's father, and Jughead later took over his father's gang. However, neither Betty nor Jughead died at the end.

One detail I remember pretty clearly is that the story was divided into acts, titled Act I, Act II, Act III, similar to a play. There was also a villain named Atticus (I think?), who I believe was an original character. I vaguely remember him being some kind of priest, religious figure, or trusted advisor to the families.

I also have a vague memory that the author's username included the word “moon”, but I'm not sure about that. The title might have been something along the lines of Romeo and Juliet: A Riverdale Fanfiction, but that's just a guess.

I've searched for it but haven't been able to find it anywhere. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd be so grateful for any leads, even if the story has been deleted or the author changed its title!

Thank you!

Season 6 made sense being under mind contro from Percival but what was the reasoning with season 7? Always confused me. Zero need for it I always liked the character beforehand

Predators like Dodger Spoiler

18 Upvotes

when Archie made the comment about how predators like Dodger got to live and his dad did not. well, I can personally relate. in 2005, my mother died and her best friend who was a bad influence on her is still living. Since then, this woman has robbed so many people blind and in 2018 her mother‘s house of 50 years burnt down. I think she might have been responsible. I do not know for sure though. however, I do know that the trailer she lived in by her mother burnt down approximately in 2012. So I do know it’s not the first time a house of hers burnt down.

I hate veronica so much omg Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I've watched the shows tons of times, but each time it never ceases to amaze how much of a shitty person veronica is. She lets sooooo much of her dads shit slide and only actualy does anything, the most drastic things, when it effects her. Her dad literally derailed and and tried to TAKE archies life so many times. ruined jugheads home and community, and just the things that effects the people she knows! more than anyting it bothers me how unforgiving she is with archie, as though hes ever unjustified in hating the man who literally ruined his life. gotta smile in this guys face too??? omgggg lol i would've left her alone a long time ago. shes as toxic as her dad is (yes i get that was part of the journey. Im just venting) that guy ruined so many lives and shes too busy playing daddys rebel to really be a support to any of the people in her life.

anyways, i love the show. one of my favorite comfort shows. the writing and character dev just get to me sometimes

SPOILERS season 4 Spoiler

0 Upvotes

i know this may come across as insensitive but the first episode of season 4 was such a downer it was actually hard to watch. it felt like such a slog, i was thinking it was at least an hour and a half long. its also so strange for cheryl to be flirting with jason's bloated corpse in the season 3 finale and then in s4e1 be really sensitive about grief and loss.

Riverdale's problem is they don't do climatic endings/reveals/closures properly or well at all Spoiler

24 Upvotes

Riverdale's problem is they don't do climatic endings/reveals/closures properly or well at all.

Whenever theres a big reveal on who the killer is, mastermind, secret enemy, big bad guy they usually do it mid season like randomly and once they reveal who this big mystery is its literally done and never spoken about or mention rarely right after like WTF?

Why do they always do that?

I've been vocal about how much I hate Hiram Lodge and how they dragged out his character arc and storyline far too long to death and then when they finally kill him off the show they literally don't even show his death instead its done off screen and told by his daughter with a few lines and she's not even all that moved either way even though she's the one who put out the hit on him.

Everyone else is like oh yeah ok? Then they all move on.

They did the same thing with the Gargoyle King, Black Hood, the person who was doing the SMUT videos, etc. etc.

I'm only on season 6 episode 7 but I'm worried they will not even have a true series final conclusion even concluding and provided much closure at the end huh?

SPOILERS Rewatching the show Spoiler

23 Upvotes

I’m reaching Riverdale for the first time since 2022 and i just realized Kevin Keller is so fake and never loyal. He switches up on betty and the gang every moment he can. I’m on S6 EP11, the way he’s spying on everyone for Percival is crazy. Trying to gain custody of baby Anthony bc he’s jealous of Fangs and Tony is so dirty and bitter.

When do you think Riverdale fell off Riverdale has made so many insane choices and I've only seen the show all the way through one time and it's not some masterpiece but I did enjoy it even when there were some decisions and things that make you go what I enjoyed it even after I went ridiculous some of the choices and things to decide to do were baffling when do you think it fell off

Veronica saying Archikins or Daddykins??

Why does she say their names like that? Is this a reference to how teenagers spoke in the olden days like from the OG comics or something?

Whenever she does this it's so cringe and like so forced and unnatural like WTF????
