Hello Friends.
Well it’s another weird video. You might notice I like to make these a lot, I don’t really enjoy sticking to one specific area, as much as I do just talk about whatever interests me at the time, and the reason im able to do that is cause I don’t need to worry about youtube algorithm nonsense (or copyright, this video was hit with three different content ids before it even went live) and thats thanks to the support I get from my patrons.
So if you want to help ensure I can just.. I guess keep this channel weird, you can do so here:

Also if Patreon isn’t your thing, I also have a Ko Fi now: ko-fi.com/supereyepatchwolf#achievementUnlockedModal
But hey. Either way, really appreciate you watching the video and just following me in general, have a good one.
You can do whatever you want forever
By the way alex meyers covers riverdale and its super hilarious
That works out for me since I don't so much as like the videos you make as I like listening to your voice on videos you make.
Disappointed that you're not a Misato man, but still love your videos
As an asexual person, uh yea jughead was treated awfully
The best description of Riverdale I ever heard was from a friend of mine. "Watching an episode of Riverdale makes you feel like you must have missed an episode of Riverdale."
Really makes you wonder how watching Riverdale feels if you only watch every other episode
@@Gloomdrake “damn I must have missed an episode of Arrow”
fr
More like 50 episodes
So true it is something you have to pay attention to lol
Betty becoming an fbi officer after like 90% of her close male relatives turned out to be serial killers and her mother married the head of an organ-harvesting cult seems to be the most sensible thing that happened towards the end there.
I feel like that on its own could be a good plot for a TV show or something. Young woman whose entire family is made up of serial killers ends up joining the FBI.
@@leow3696 I actually read a book with a character like that as a teen, his father's a serial killer so he now helps the government figure out how serial killers think, "killer instinct" I think is the second book? I think the first one is something like "natural gift" or "the naturals"... Main character is a teen female so...
@@13KillerShadows the naturals is a good book series SPOILERS
There’s also a murder cult as well
@@13KillerShadowsSounds like the network TV drama Prodigal Son.
Most competent FBI moment in recorded history.
I’m sorry but _“if there’s no wedding reception it means the gargoyle king has won.”_ is one of the greatest slices of dialog I’ve ever heard in my life. Holy shit.
Clearly you never got to *_"Begone... from my Temple... or I will smite thee! For I am Cheryl Blossom- QUEEN of the BEES!!"_*
bros really forgot the “i’m so over the toxic masculinity in this hallway right now”
The best part about it is that it deadass sounds like something that would happen in a D&D campaign.
Go figure.
The best exchange:
"I dropped out in fourth grade to run drugs to support my nana"
"Well that means you haven't experienced the trials and tribulations, the epic high and lows of High School football"
This feels like an improv skit but nobody ever stops any crazy ideas from passing forward.
A dnd campaign in the modern day, if you will
-Fast and Furious nowadays
The Aristocrats
Yes, and...FLOATING BABIES!
Bro they turned it supernatural lol the show went off the shelf with its craziness
It would be hilarious if it turns out Riverdale was just a very long revenge plan made by the director because his gay Archie stageplay got shot down.
i´m pretty sure it was archie with a 20s seri*al k*ller aswell. This dude has some issuessss
Lol, I would forgive everything if this was the case
The long con
@@cuteprograstinator9970 you failed to censor serial killer but you also had no reason to censor it. like
omg you wrote serial killer im going to have a tantrum and ptsd and im gonna kill myself
@TheSportsGuru omg you people are offended by literally everything, the term serial killer is literally used everywhere on the internet, they shouldn’t be here if that’s a trigger word to begin with.
This is a totally biased review against Riverdale, because Eyepatchwolf hasnt known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football.
That's only 'cause he had to drop out in fourth grade to run drugs to support his nana.
You know feeling when you know a reference is being made but you don't know it?
I've got that feeling once again.
To this day, I have no idea how KJ Apa didn't just instantly corpse from that line? God knows If I were him I wouldn't be able to get a word out because I'd be laughing too much.
@@crosswingdoublezerox3372 You meean cause he *didn't* have to drop out in fourth grade to run drugs to support his nana? because if he had done that he owuld never have known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football.
He knows the epic highs and lows of dodging the cops.
Riverdale feels like youre watching a Highschool musical marathon but someone sits on the remote and it switches to supernatural at increasing intervals
Someone sits on the remote and the channel rapidly changes, only to land on something so bad shit insane you can’t tear your eyes away.
And when you try to get back you keep finding more insane shit because you don’t remember what the channel your show was on.
Hey, just point out that the shut down of "the gay Archie play" didn't happen because Archie was being depicted as gay, rather because the character that was his love interesting in the play wasn't a fiction character, he was a real murder, Nathan Leopold
Yeah that's kinda fucking cringe
What?
@@greyvii511 Yeah, Roberto basically made the play to be his fanfic shipping Archie with Nathan Leopold. And the owners of Archie Comics were not really thrilled with this idea
Wait this makes more sense why Riverdale ended up like this.
With 6(?) serial killers? I lost count.
@@VVheeli You think that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa could have wrote a different, yet more compelling murder mystery instead of a weird Archie installment.
This show's plot is so bizarre I'm surprised that Archie and Jughead haven't crossed the Egyptian desert to fight a british vampire and his time-stopping punch ghost in downtown Cairo.
I don’t know what this is a reference to, but I feel like you’d like Soulless by Gail Carriger.
@@briarnotblair Oh, hey this is actually the first time I've ever encountered someone who hasn't recognized a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! It's actually refreshing.
Maybe go to a crazy bizarre town and track down david bowie
Give them 2 more seasons and I´ll bet they will have a JoJo plot
I'm surprised Jughead hasn't ascended the ranks of the Italian Mafia to defeat Mr. Lodge, with timeskipping powers, who wants to kill Veronica.
If Riverdale doesn't end with Archie waking up from a coma after being shot during the robbery at the dinner, I riot.
No, it needs to end with a 2D animated Jughead telling the story to his classmates with all of them baffled by what the hell they just witnessed.
@@BrendanJSmith OMG THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD THEY COULD BE LIKE “Jughead that’s messed up” or “I don’t act like that?!”
@@BrendanJSmith I second this.
I have the hard opposite opinion. Riverdale needs to end with lovecraftian angel beings that divinely inspired everything and a time travel subplot that's all materially real
Diner.
I watched season one when it first aired and didn't bother with the rest until years later. When I picked back up with season two, I remember being unsure whether or not Reggie had been recast so I went to the wiki to find out. I was greeted with "Status: Deceased (dragged to Hell)"
I caught all the way up in the next two weeks
You don't know how incredibly funny that sentence ends, I hope you realize you made me laugh for a good fucking minute.
💀💀
Yeah this was 8 months ago but I have to tell you this is the funniest thing I have ever read
😂😂😂😂
Omg this is the funniest shit i have ever read
This will get ignored as it's 1 year too late, but my friend worked on this set as background and a wrangler of background extras, and he said the entire acting crew (who he met, talked to and hungout with between takes) hated working on this show. They would continually go to overtime hours because the writes (based out of LA) would send the revised scripts at 4pm with new lines and new plot points that the actors would have to memorize and then perform. Many long hours, frustrating moments and just general shit treatment of the crew.
Vancouver produces almost every CW show and they are notorious in the film industry for being the absolute worst. CW writers and execs simply are bad at their jobs and in a field that operates tens or even hundreds of crew members daily (makeup, set design, costume design, extras, film crew, lighting crew, directors, script sueprvisor and the actors and director), paying even one day of overtime accounts for thousands or tens of thousands of extra pay. So the crew were compensated, but fuck, they really were treated like shit.
Just look up any interview with the cast and crew regarding the show and you can see their dislike for the show, but they're young actors working on a popular show and getting paid well so why quit? It just sucks for all involved that the CW cannot seem to make good shows or even treat their crew well.
All of that is genuinely terrible but, if there's a silver lining to be had, I was already to comment to say how impressive I find both many of the actors and a lot of the technical stuff that goes into filming, particularly given the... well... given what they were working. To find out it was all done under circumstances even more relentlessly tiring than it'd be in a competently-managed production is serious credit to a heck of a lot of people, whatever people might think of the show.
@@Pineappolis Oh yeah for sure. it makes me proud of my friend and his company and all the other crew and actors working on the show that they can put up with it all.
And it's become a thing in Vancouver tv/movie industry where a new CW show starts filming everyone knows what they're getting into. So it's more like a resigned "oh it's a CW show? Ok I know what to expect" than getting surprised at the long hours.
All I can say is I respect my friend and his career path, but I could never do it myself. Long hours like that are not my cup of tea.
I wish this news was surprising. I was a big fan of CW's superman show Smallville back in the day, and Tom Welling (the guy who played superman) hated the experience so much that he stopped acting for several years when it ended
@@thisisaformality Oh that's why he quit acting? I really loved the show, but I guess 8 years of putting up with that shit burnt him out. Hopefully he's doing better now.
I actually had a friend that worked as a background actor on the 100 and basically said the same thing about the cast there. They always couldn't wait to get out of there and why so many the actors on that show left to do other shows or just flat out quit and had their characters killed off early on and the experience is actually what made her not go after her dream of becoming an actress lol
Riverdale is what happens when a fanfic writer gets control of his favorite show and can now see his darkest, silliest fantasies brought to life. That is literally what has happened.
So like… Stephen Moffat circa series 7 Doctor Who
@@RealLukeWilson or like Stephen Moffat everything
All of cw's shows are like this though. They are incapable of developing a coherent plot beyond 1 season
That's why nobody should ever give me any creative control over Star Trek lol
@@EgonSupreme Stephen Moffat is great when you give him a single episode. As a showrunner, he is horrible
The fact that this show was based off a goofy, lighthearted 60s comic series fucking baffles me
Yeah, and it's not the only one with this total tone shift. Glitchtale is this brutal and violent action-horror show where characters can die in a millisecond and the villain is a literal demon... and it's based off of Undertale.
Another example is the Sabrina the teenage witch Netflix adaptation compared to the source material 🥲
@@notmariolevi2863 Glitchtale is so good tho
1940s.
@@notmariolevi2863 in all fairness undertale wasnt that much more wholesome in comparison
Don't forget the part where Hiram Lodge put a bomb in Archie's bed, and blew him up so hard that it created an alternate universe where riverdale has a slightly different name and magic is real
WHAT
This was made before that plot i think
Oh Rivervale
Um, excuse me?
Yeah sure why not, at this point my suspension of disbelief has been reduced to atoms anyway
I asked my mum what riverdale was like since she watched some seasons of it, she described it perfectly “every episode from riverdale you watch makes you feel like you’re watching a new show every time”
I honestly wonder if the reason there are so many writers is that a small team of 1-3 writers independently wrote each episode. Some of them legitimately feel like they couldn't have been written by the same people.
Fun fact in interviews, the cast revealed Jughead was actually supposed to be there at the S3 cliffhanger where they burn their clothes, but it was a really cold night and Cole refused to leave his trailer half naked to film the scene. The entire implication of Jughead's death and what became the driving plot of season 4, ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE COLE REFUSED TO LEAVE HIS TRAILER.
They could have done it indoors, and green screened the background?
@@markshiman5690 green screening costs a lot of money and time to set up
@@markshiman5690 Its the cw, they are well known for their cheap production.
Yah that seems about right.
"Try and do something to punish me for asking for some basic comfort. I worked at Disney god dammit, do your worst!"
Riverdale: a show written by people who are determined to see what they can get away with.
literally fucking anything at this point. is there one single thing they HAVEN'T gotten away with thus far
@@fizzy3911 Have the writers tried an animal transformation yet? A body swap story? Sex change that isn't treated with any grace or tact? Those are all common gimmicks for shows.
I'm okay with this.
This review made me actually want to watch it because it looks like the CW's Twin Peaks, but also written by people who just have no idea what they're doing. It's like if you gave Tommy Wiseau complete creative control of a teen drama show.
I want RAS to make a Fear Street tv series. Only he could capture the moments of pure WTF in the books.
Just off the top of my head;
-a girl is gorily killed by a pottery wheel.
-a girl kills her sibling and assumes her identity.
-there is an evil house which has evil sentient rats living in the walls.
-the Fear Family changed their name from Fier in a bid to escape a curse related to their name being similar to fire.
-a ghost time travels to before his death.
-a character accidentally gets herself and her whole class killed by her own doom spell.
-The timeline is supremely bizarre.
The fact that he didnt even mention the episode where an escaped convict tries to kill veronica and its never mentioned again is astounding lol
Honestly the entire show seems to be chock full of "Something happens and is never mentioned again".
The fact that you didn’t even mention that Veronica murders said convict by dousing him in alcohol and setting him on fire and it’s never mentioned again is also astounding lol😂
That technically is every cw show. Have a main character destroy a town or deal with a life changing event and it is never brought up after an episode
As far as I can tell, what happened here is that the showwriters discovered that they could only make so many reasonable things happen in a teenage drama show, so after like 10 episodes they just said "screw it" and made it go insane instead, so that way it'd be interesting.
At least now they've hit "so-bad-it's-good" territory, that's a plus.
Go crazy ahhhhh go stupid ahhhhhh
Honestly. It wouldn't be bad if they went crazy with the plots. Just keep the characters fairly consistent and interesting and it's all good
Riverdale is the perfect show for a comedy night in.
I was looking though comments to try to get more information from those who watched it. I had the feeling this might be targeted towards teenage girls, like shows like American Horror Story. That being said, as a 30 year old man, would I enjoy this show? Or is the "targeting" too specific for someone like me to enjoy it?
@@CommanderCodyChipless I haven't actually watched the show myself though, so best I can give you is what I understand from the video itself, so... I think the show _started_ as teenagers being the target demographic, but the show gets so insane later on it loses that focus.
God, I love how this show really went "well, the high school drama didn't work out. Time for 'Tommy wiseau's Twin peaks'"
Tommy Wiseau's Twin Peaks is such a good thing I wish it was real and it starred Tommy Wiseau
Maybe Riverdale should hire him as a protagonist or a villain or something
@@kulcheski5189 There's just one episode where Cole Sprouse is replaced by Tommy Wiseau and nobody notices the difference
@@ashikjaman1940 I would pay good money for that.
I need that. We'll finally get a worthy successor to Rocky Horror Picture Show.
At this point I'm convinced the CW is using Riverdale as a way to launder money.
@Obama Thanks, Obama.
Lmao freal
Yo wtf xD
You might be right, holy sh*T!
Sounds like a Riverdale plot line.
when you check out their russian, asian and american fanpages run by a horde of 12 year old girls, you’ll realise people are actually giving them numbers. The same people that watch the kissing booth and he’s all that
"Rather than something succeed in mediocrity, I'd rather see it fail, spectactularly". What a line
As of February 2023, Wikipedia describes Riverdale as a “supernatural horror crime drama television series”. I don’t think I’ve heard anything be described like that before!
Supernatural kinda
Hannibal 💀
Twin Peaks
Grimm
A lot of these writing decisions feel like they come from a place of "we're definitely getting cancelled this season, so lets just come up with whatever we feel like and roll with it."
They totally "ghost stories"d the whole thing
And that's how you make a good... anything.
And then they keep renewed for a new season and said.. "F*ck.. What the hell. How?"
@@axelkusanagi4139 no not for a serial narrative. you need vision proper start and end, or every thing slowly drag out then crash and fall
the writer be like, i dont know what im doing but somehow its working. help.
"If there's no wedding reception, it means the gargoyle king has won."
hwhut
He's a sweet bachelor
Dude, that was my senior quote in high school.
Look, the Gargoyle King’s divorce law office is really struggling right now, he needs the business okay
"Oh Archie, you haven't even been mauled by a bear yet" is my favorite line ever 😂
I once read a fanfiction that was written by a group of writers, where each writer would read the section immediately before theirs and write their own section based only on that. Despite it being a relatively short, one-chapter fanfiction, it still managed to lose the entire basis of the plot halfway through, and was constantly dropping plot threads and creating new ones, resulting in an extremely confusing (if well-written, no shade to the authors) mess of a story. A character who was freezing to death at one point had a stomach wound instead a few paragraphs later, and a character who was initially missing (the injured character was searching for him) suddenly showed up to the rescue with no explanation or fanfare. I have to imagine that the writing process for Riverdale is somewhat similar to that fanfiction
I swear to God, your ability to take something as innocuous as Riverdales shitty writting and lack of direction and somehow tie it back to wrestling is wild.
Everything is a wrestling reference.

Someday I wanna see a documentary on the making of this series. It'd be wild.
They never have a plan. They're the kind of writers that think putting as many plot twists as possible is the best writing method ever.
@@Tamaki742 like game of thrones
@@SlickAndroid94 someone in the cast gonna do a podcast somewhere down the road and I'll be there to listen. But never gonna watch the show
Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated is what Riverdale is trying to be.
Also I actually love the first season of Riverdale because the stage fright plot is played at the exact same level of drama as the LITERAL MURDER and that tickles me. The overdramatic EVERYTHING is what I lived for in that season. Plus the murder mystery is actually quite well written and fun.
I sort of consider season 1 to be basically a different show from the rest, and I love both for different reasons.
The funniest part is that there is no reason for this show to be based on characters from Archie Comics.
In all fairness, the evil billionaire escaping from the law in his personal spaceship is probably the most plausible twist nowadays.

Idk why, but the line “We have to burn all our clothes, including Jughead’s beanie” fucking killed me
First, there was no apparent need to specify that (the line is only there because Jughead isn't) so it feels out of place
Second, there are a lot of words fitting to a dark, dramatic atmosphere and beanie is ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE OF THEM
just in case you didn't notice that jughead isn't there and that there's definitely something nefarious going on!!
They just really wanted you to know the writers hated Jughead's beanie
@@ExeloMinish I don’t think it helps that there’s a character named fucking _Jughead_ and that’s the one whose name they say out loud in the tense scene

this is like if the SCP foundation only did like 3/4ths of their job
This is them doing half of their job, at best.
At least 1/3, because most of the insanity seems to be contained to this one awful part of the world
Riverdale is the Gravity Falls of the SCP universe lol
I like the idea that paranormal show like gravity falls, Riverdale, etc are basically what if the SCP foundation was bad at their job
Nah, they're doing their job well enough, they just realized that if they try to stop these more mundane plotlines, much more noticably-chaotic ones end up replacing them. Why else do you think the season where they get superpowers, and then the one right after where they end up in some alternate version of the town exist?
"For I am Cheryl Blossom, QUEEN OF THE BEES!" with the show slowly ascending into madness on the graph finally broke me. I have tears in my eyes, holy shit.
same tho lol
That's what got me just now lmfao
The editing this entire video was absolute perfection, but that part made me laugh so much oh my gosh XD
THAT WAS THE LINE THAT GOT ME
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
Recently started watching this for the first time with my roommates. One of them has seen it before, the other refuses to watch every episode and will skip sometimes 7 whole episodes at a time. The three of us are all getting roughly the same experience.
We have all agreed that this show was written by an AI.
I highly doubt it was written by artificial intelligence.
Ai could never create this
That… would explain a lot. “Write me a script in the style of a writer’s room that’s given up entirely on even trying to make anything make sense, is composed entirely of people who have never even conceptualized shooting an idea down, and was given an unlimited cocaine budget. Oh, and make it related to Archie Comics.”
The funniest part of the scene where Edgar evernever is introduced is how, moments before, it's this serious moment where the the gang is singing "can't we be Seventeen" and they get really into it, and the parents all give each other concerned looks as if to say to each other "wow these are just kids and they're getting so fucked up and we're causing a lot of their trauma, shit" and it feels like maybe the story is trying to point out the toll on the characters that all this crazy crap is taking, and acknowledge like, yeah these kids HAVE been acting crazy, this is not the ideal and they need to address it.
And then a beat passes and then evel kneival Manson steps up to totally derail that and just throw the characters and show into further insanity without ever looking back. That said, I am so grateful to Chad michael Murray for his shenanigans and being the cause of the line "he didn't buy a rocket. He built one"
"can't we be Seventeen"
> gets organs stolen by cult
"I'm sorry jughead, I can't help you" *dives through window*
I don't think I'm meant to laugh at it but it's the funniest shit I've ever seen
What gets me is that the entire scene happens a second time and you can see the characters immediately go 'oh shit not again' as they try to stop it.
timestamp plz
@@randomselfimprovementchann1304 0:44
when Starkiller realizes that he can kill Vader
Feels like a family guy skit
I reckon Archie's dad did die in a normal robbery and then everything from that point onwards is just Archie going insane and hallucinating
That would be amazing. I'm tired of this show
That's one hell of a plot twist if it actually happens
Dallas did it in the 80s, so it's plausible.
I actually think the theory went that Archie was the one who was shot and died in that show and this is the revival of Archie's Afterlife.
I was assuming while I was watching that he'd say Archie was the one that died and that everything after was revealed to be the "afterlife with archie".
As of the writing of this comment, Riverdale is now concluded. I hereby formally submit a request for a followup video.
All the "but OH NO" moments in your narration in this video was hilarious
At this point, the only believable way they could end this series would be by breaking the fourth wall, and having the cast realise they're characters in a tv show.
Well, if you think about it, that'd be kinda funny, because the episodes are like chapters in Jughrads presumed books/novels etc., plus we see the intro monologue of what was said on his computer in the pilot episode, so it wouldn't be too outlandish for the series to end and then have everything that happened be only a part of a book. Which would make sense in a twisted, Riverdalean way
The entire show is Jughead, who in universe is a writer, narrating the story and one of the plot points is about him writing books about Riverdale... just saying, but they already beat you to the punch.😂
I am going to laugh really hard if the show ends revealing it is indeed a story written by Jughead who is dressed like his comic self while the others have a more comic accurate look.
That or since they are making a crossover with Sabrina, they can explain it with a curse or some other supernatural affliction?
Well Supernatural already did it...more or less in the last season.
Lili Reinhart, bless her soul, has said in an interview that the flash forward scene in Season 4 (?) of the three of them naked and covered in Jughead's blood was completely made up without any idea of what the context was. It was originally supposed to be the 4 of them, but Cole Sprouse didn't want to do it bc it was cold or something so it was just the 3 of them. So basically they had to write a whole season plot around the fact that Cole didn't want to stand outside in the cold.

The one thing the video didn't explain (or I might have missed it). Why did they jump out the window?
My roommate worked on the earlier seasons of Riverdale; he was in the makeup department. Can confirm the writers didn't know what they were doing. As an MUA you get the script so you can plan and/or understand the makeup in context to do it right, depending on your job. My roommate said that he'd get a script, and by the day of the shooting it was completely changed. They'd change things day-of, rushed to write or edit things, and almost everyone behind the scenes were confused and thought it was stupid lol. He said it was fun to work on, because it was ridiculous, but nearly everyone was very aware that it was ridiculous.
My goodness even the people who work with the show doesn't even know the plot
that...that explains a lot
its so random it seems so alien. or this show was from another dimension
This helps prove my theory that they stole all their plotlines from tumblr fan theories, choni was non-existent until some fans started to mention the idea of it on tumblr and all of a sudden next episode they HAPPENED to have that scene in the bathroom
I saw it all happen with own eyes the same with the black hood being Betty’s dad was ripped STRAIGHT from the fandom
Luke Perry was in the show but unfortunately passed. His son Jack is now a wrestler in AEW. Luke used to go to all of Jack's matches and Jack was going to be doing a show by me but 2 weeks before the show happened, Luke passed. I was certain I would meet Luke since he would regularly sit in the crowd. I have met Jack but Luke was a legend. 8 seconds is such an underrated movie.

Stay tuned for the season 6 reveal that Jughead has telekinetic powers and is addicted to flinging people out windows.
It's like Archie hearing the bear man roar and going "Not again."
"Mothe fucker, here we go again..."
Imagine trying to deliver this line with a straight face: “If there’s no wedding reception, it means the Gargoyle King has won”
Reminds me of when Oscar Isaac had to say “somehow, palpatine has returned” as Poe in the latest Star Wars
Now THAT’s something you don’t hear every day! 😆🤣xD r/brandnewsentence
I am Cheryl Blossom, queen of the bees.
the actors on this show are INCREDIBLE, especially Madeleine Petsch. They give her the most BIZARRE lines and stories, and yet she portrays them like an absolute goddess.
Well, I know what line I need to sneak into my D&D campaign.
You can't talk about the Archie comics without mentioning the Archie x Punisher crossover!
Yes, this is a real thing that really happened. We are in the best timeline

their stacked on top of each other and take turns being on top.
thats why hes so tall.
I have no idea if you're joking or if that is literally what happens in the show. And that's the best part.

Archie 100% got shot in the robbery and the rest of the show is his brain dreaming while he's recovering in a medically induced coma while he recovers. I hope the show ends with him waking up, but something equally bat shit happens right before credits roll
"Archie to survive that gunshot wound we had to inject you with the blood of Lazurus who lived in Riverdale, it's 204902@67.32 and you're pregnant with Jugheads child who Jughead has transferred his soul into, Betty traveled back in time to make it so that Iceland wins WW1 and Veronica is now a psychotic living hologram that kills people so she can devour their pituitary glands to survive. Happy Quanza, bitch." (Cut to credits).
@@corvus4350 in Riverdale that's just a Tuesday.
That would be like in the show “Archer” but Riverdale keeps writing itself into a corner.
This makes too much sense lol. My sister started watching it episode 1 and from what I saw over her shoulder I said smth similar.
Archie wakes up as a dog, having been a dog the whole time, and ends up in a bestiality throuple with Veronica and Betty, who birth werewolves that end up taking over the town.
Thank God someone who understands that you can enjoy a piece of media without it making sense or being "good". Sometimes I just like to be entertained!!
0:02 - "One attendee of Riverdale High is discovered to be a grown woman pretending to be a high school student."
Erm... Isn't that the entire show?
In a high school class, I took a creative writing class. One of the exercises was that someone had to write a story for a few minutes, then pass it to the next person, and so on. It was fun, but it created entire stories that were messy. Stories were set up, big moments were created because people were randomly making stuff up under the pressure, often with little set up.
I can only assume Riverdale is written in the same way
Sounds fun though
exquisite corpse
I actually did this in my English class. I was a high school freshman at the time and it was the funnest exercise I have ever done. I sat at a table with like 3 other people and we would pass around our papers and I think at one point my story was something about a drug deal. Good times lol.
that's why there's so many writers
Either that or its written like that tumblr post about how John Green writes books, just spins a wheel to pick a character and pulls their future ambitions out of a hat blindfolded
I made it most of this video without laughing out loud at the twists but the visual reveal of the guy in his 1960s stuntman costume standing next to his rocket got me
It's even funnier in context! THEY DO THE WES ANDERSON ZOOM IN EARLIER IN THE EPISODE
its just pure heterosexual camp. incredible
I shouldn't be surprised to find Jenny in the comments here, but it's still very funny.
For me it was ""I am Cheryl Blossom, Queen of Bees"
The Cheryl "I'm the queen of the bees!" Thing is what finally got me. I've watched most of the series though, so already knew up to season 3 and a bit of season 4 stuff.
A friend and I once spent an hour long drive with me reading out they kind of stuff happened in this show and laughing. Lots of fun.
I watched maybe four or five seasons because my young son was into it (I hated it the entire time but I love my son and spending time with him) and can we just also acknowledge that the prison is named SHANKSHAW. SHANK SHAW! 🙄🙄🙄
I was going to say thank goodness that my son lost interest after they did the huge time jump when they graduated, but I overheard that SATAN shows up?! I might have to go back and watch what I missed. 😂😂
I love how you had to clarify that you hated it the entire time lmaooo
@@minetieplays2092but also willing to go back
"we have to burn all our clothes, including jughead's beanie"
i like that she felt the need to clarify that this does, in fact, include jughead's beanie. in case it wasn't clear otherwise.
Maybe archie thought it was Jotaro like not quite hat not quite hair
His beanie is iconic, remember? Burning it is a big deal.
"We need to burn Jughead's beanie. So he won't be weird. He won't be a weirdo. He'll fit in, even if he doesn't want to fit in."
I like that they say that while still having their underwear on but not mentioning that detail as if those pieces of clothing don't count.
you have to remember hes weird. hes a weirdo. no one has ever seen him without that stupid hat on. its weird
"im a weirdo, i dont fit in"
That was the must cringe phase I've ever seen in anything ever. This guy is somewhat good looking, popular, besties with all the most popular kids and we haven't in any way seen anything out of the ordinary from him besides his black clothes, and yet we are supposed to believe he is a goth emo or some such just because he said so?
Bringing up the hat made it feel like someone wanted a social issue to label Jughead with while writing and looked at the comic version and went "... He's just a normal guy who's a pretty good friend... But he wears an ugly hat, that's weird, he's weird! THAT'S his thing, he's a weirdo, I'm such a genius!" and then proceeded to not actually write him particularly weird or outcast aside from being functionally homeless before Archie gets him to stay with him. They then reached the point that they wanted angsty focus on him to trigger the ship with Betty and could only bring up the hat as an explanation
What gets me about Riverdale, as a fan of the comics, is that they did Jughead like this. I think his character, more than anybody, was the one that made me say "this is trash, as an adaptation of the comics".
@@nybxcrotona the hell you talking about the moment that they reveal archie is dating ms.grundy should've been the moment you say nope and left xD
@@chaoschalice Honestly, I never even watched. I only saw clips from other CZcams channels.
They turned jugheads care free attitude into an “ugh i dont care about anything” they clearly don’t know the difference
"Sir, a second Cult has hit the Riverdale"
The Black Hood thing reminded me of when Pretty Little Liars started to fall off too, the moment you realize the writers didn't actually know who A was and all the clues were not actually clues at all, they were making it up as they went along, using shocking moments that didn't actually lead anywhere to get people to watch over and over. Riverdale had that same thing, just felt like the writers came up with random chaos episode to episode after a while. It was never a great show but it fully turned into a fever dream of nonsense. It worked for PLL, the show is garbage but I loved it, Riverdale was a little too much for me, nut I kinda agree, it's almost so bad and insane that it's good.
i have a theory that the only thing holding this show together is the art direction. the aesthetic is everything, its a tumblr masterpiece
Thats all it had running
Nah I disagree this show is good and I mean the fact that it's pure insanity and no one can predict it I love it it's fun to watch it doesn't preach Crapp to me like Batwoman or some shit like that
@@EmperorDxD you are right, but there are better shows too man. But your opinion is yours and I respect it
I was surprised by the clips in this vid by how visually nice the show looks, I kinda expected it to look more like supernatural lol
I love Riverdale mostly for the really beautiful aesthetic it's true.
Show concept: A aesthetic like Riverdale + a story who follow a thoughtful plot = would be a masterpiece. 🤯
Fun fact: The only reason they did that “Jughead is dead” cliffhanger for season 4 was because Cole Sprouse was cold and didn’t want to shoot that scene because he would have to wear no clothes, so they re-wrote it to make it seem like he was dead.
I haven’t seen any clips so do you know if any of the cast were pissed off about this?
@@psycho9702 the impression i get is if they were pissed they were pissed they didnt think of it themselves. the cast don't hide that they hate working on the show and think the scripts are off the walls. so many of them are just there for the paycheck. ive not seen where its said that cole refused to shoot the scene but the cast complain about conditions on set so i doubt they blame him for refusing to do the scene. coles probably more pissed jughead wasn't actually killed off so he couldnt just play a dead body for the next few seasons
Coke Sprouse
C O K E S P R O U S E
Sir, did you just said coke sprouse?
The “Queen of the bees” moment, with him echoing her lines and the show moving up the graph absolutely kills me every time 😂
I wrote a proper bonkers ending for Season 4. Why? Why _not?_
The spooky prep school kids are chasing Archie and Veronica after murdering Jughead when the cartoon-mask Archie and Veronica from the murder-VHS tapes show up, and the prep kids are distracted fighting them. The murder-cartoon people fight and kill the prep school kids... then take their masks off to reveal that they _are_ Archie and Veronica. But OH NO they're actually _evil_ Archie and Veronica from an _evil_ universe where they and Veronica _did_ murder and eat Jughead! And now they're traveling dimensions to murder and eat _all_ the Jugheads ever, _and_ cannibalize their alternate-universe selves, and Betty runs into _her_ alternate-universe-cannibal self too! But TWIST alternate!Betty is from a _different_ universe, and she already killed murder-cannibal Betty, and she teams up with Normal Betty to save Archie and Veronica! And the leader of the spooky prep school kids is _her_ universe's Jughead, and they're actually a secret organization dedicated to stopping the interdimensional cannibals, and _this_ Betty and Jughead are in love! So the normal-universe Archie, Veronica, and Betty team up with alternate Betty and Jughead to stop the murder-cannibals, but OH NO alternate-Betty betrays them, because she was _actually_ murder-cannibal Betty this whole time, and _she_ killed the _good_ version of herself and lied about it! BUT EXTRA TWIST normal Jughead has been working with his alternate self THIS WHOLE TIME and was only _pretending_ to be dead, and the bit where the prep school kids murder him was all planned to make the evil cannibals _think_ he was out of the picture!
Anyways, in the finale it's revealed that alternate spooky Jughead was lying about being from another dimension (but all the other alternate selves believed it for real), and they're _actually_ from a secret cloning lab in the woods near Riverdale that's been making clones of Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead for secret experiments, and the big reveal is that the people running the lab are _also_ Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead, and they claim to be the originals, but they're actually clones too and they killed the scientists who were running the place originally. Then Spooky Jughead leads his spooky prep school kids into a revolution against the evil clones in charge, and Spooky Jughead sacrifices himself to blow up the lab with all the clones in it so that this tragedy will never repeat itself and also because he's mourning the loss of his version of Betty, who I will remind you he was dating, and he can't bear to live in a world without her. It's very sad, Archie has to drag Jughead out to stop him trying to save his clone. Big kaboom, end of season, don't forget a quick cliffhanger where Veronica makes a phone call to someone and tells them the lab was destroyed because SHE KNEW SOMETHING! What _did_ she know? We'll figure it out in season 5!
Absolutley perfect. You, sir, deserve at least nine Oscars.
sending this to the CW they need to hire you
Hearing the show explained like this makes it feel like they were playing and-then improv
"Never negate, just say 'yes, and...'!"
okay so basically they started as a generic teen drama “trying” to tackle social issues and use them for buzzwords, but turned into a really weird series of fever dreams trying to get veiws by continuous shock scenes and “trying” to tackle social issues and use them for buzzwords.
truly the only explanation
They were.
I imagine Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa telling the other writers that they could do anything they wanted as long as it didn't interfere with his erotic fanfiction.
Isn't the show just his attempt to put a failed Archie Comics play he did on TV?
@@Xehanort10 Lmfao feels like it sometimes
@@Xehanort10 check out Friendly Space Ninja's video on riverdale and the archieverse. The entire thing is basically his fanfiction.
WHICH CONCERNS ME BECAUSE THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TEENAGERS
This video taught me about the insanity of Riverdale AND the origin of the "It's me Austin" meme. Thank you for such educational content
You somehow got me wanting to watch the whole damn series of a show I never even think about in the first 5 seconds of this. That’s like some kind of video sorcery.
And you compared it to freakin wrestling. I’m in. I gotta watch this show.
The town of Riverdale has enough lore to fill it's own SCP entry.
all the weird shit on riverdale *should be scps tbh
SCP ???? - Riverdale
Riverdale is a city in [REDACTED] USA. The anomalous effect around the city causes everyone and everything in it to act in uncommon, illogical ways characteristic to a teen drama. Originally, everything happening in the town was in the real of possibility, but little by little, "plot holes" started to appear, breaking the rules of reality itself.
*SPOILERS* The new season is basically that 001 Proposal that states the SCP-verse is controlled by writers!
Can someone explain to me what SCP is ? Lol I'm sorry
@@MDH2022 SCPs refer to anomalies that are being contained by the SCP Foundation, a top secret organization. Currently there's like 6000+ SCPs. Ands that's just a brief explanation. There are also many other Groups of Interests in the SCP-verse such as the UN Global Occult Coalition, Church of the Broken God, Sarkic Cult etc.
I never thought I’d hear the sentence “There is a second cult simultaneously taking over the town” outside Welcome to Night Vale.
Oh, man, WTNV is so good ☺️
Yeah, that second cult really makes you appreciate the more familiar, folksy cult who’s only sort of terribly oppressive.
This show is like WTNV except it’s for normies /lh /posi
Coming back to this now that riverdale had its final episode last night. Godspeed, you funky little acid trip of a tv show
my favorite thing to do at parties is convince people to pick a random episode of Riverdale and watch it through. the first time I did it, I got nervous, what if somehow we picked a boring episode? …after season 1, there are no boring episodes. it’s all bonkers from yonkers.
It’s so weird that a wholesome comic series about teenagers getting shakes turned into this.
As someone that read Archie for 40 years…honestly if the weird plot lines were more spread out with the stereotypical Archie plot lines between, it would read like several of the series they did.
For real… tbh I was really excited when I first heard that river dale was coming out bc Archie comics were my jam when I was younger, but then I saw the previews …🤨
@@Kanetsugi “ *That is NOT Jughead!* “ - my reaction to the previews.
To be fair, Archie also did that ass-bonkers Sonic comic series.
honestly the original comics were bonkers too. i had a massive collection growing up and i often think about this one comic where veronica and archie were TURNED INTO CATS by a crazy cat man who turned humans into cats to win prizes since they were prettier if they were humans? and also his wife was a cat too
Riverdale, the show went from trying to be the cool, hip, dark and edgy adaptation of a comic you’d get from the supermarket, to being a contest by the writers to see how they can outdo themselves with every insane plot thread they can come up with for every season. It’s gotten to the point where they’re just embracing how stupid this show is.
@Suddenly I don't know what this link is about but I'm not going to watch it if you spam the comment section.
@@balabanasireti it’s just a bot don’t worry
This reminds me of how the Dub voice actors for Ghost Stories had to follow up and usually try to one up each other when dubbing the show. They would apparently come in to the studio at different times, not knowing what the other person before them or in their scene had said and they just went with it which is why we have one of the best dubs ever made XD
Honestly, I kind of like it. In some strange way, it's gone back to its roots- stories of Archie and friends giving people a little dose of escapism from the madness of interesting times. It's just that the escapism has taken a different form.
It's still better than to keep trying and failing at the initial concept!
im sorry hold on i need to get past the "beautiful boy jail"....
"but at least shes got her dear old daaa- *OH NOOOOO*
Hilarious
And to think, he wrote this BEFORE the season where everyone gets superpowers, and WELL before the TIME TRAVEL season. Riverdale is like if you gave an aspiring writer a monkey's paw wish that they would get to write a TV show about whatever they wanted, but it was the only show they would ever work on, so they just decided to put every single story idea they'd ever had into it. All at once. One right after the other. Regardless of how much (or how little) sense it makes.
The season where everyone gets what before the what season
You really just wrote that out with no explanation huh? Can't even blame you tbh, sounds like it warrants another hour of video
Tbh, your monkey paw hypothetical isn’t probably closer to the truth than it might seem at first glance. The writers or lead creatives probably get tired of dealing with the current plot and want to throw in whatever they’re interested in writing about. It’s apparently fairly common for people on long-running projects to struggle with staying on topic over years of creative work
uh, what? WHAT?
@@dotapark To explain what fable23 said:
At the end of Season 5, Hiram (Veronica's father) plants a bomb under Archie's bed in order to kill him. Betty and him have a conversation, and the bomb goes off. This then creates an alternate reality called Rivervale (more on that later) and causes all the main characters to get superpowers. Archie is superstrong and invulnerable (except against a special element called Palladium), Betty can read people's auras, Jughead can read people's minds, Veronica can poison a person by kissing them, Cheryl can conjure fire, and Tabitha (Pops's granddaughter) can travel back in time, but only when she's near Pop's Diner.
So, by the end of the next season, in order to stop Percival Pickens, a time-travelling, immortal wizard who made a deal with the devil in order to live forever and came to Riverdale after the explosion in order to take it over, from hurling a comet that only appears every 65 years towards Riverdale and destroying it, Cheryl absorbs everyone's powers through Veronica and stops it. However, through the combination of everyone's powers, the timeline gets reset to the 1960s and all of the main cast are now teenagers.
That's probably the most truncated version of the story that I can tell.
my favorite part of the show is probably when hiram finally gets arrested and it’s this huge payoff but then immediately after hes out of jail and naturally veronica is like “wtf” and hiram goes “veronica, i own the prison” LIKE GIRL YOU DONT OWN THE LAW😭
First off, private prisons are absolutely a thing in the USA. Second off, rich people don't technically need to own part of the legal system to flout it-it's just a flex.
I think you might be nieve about how rich powerful people manage to evade the law.
@@NotAnotherKuromi *naive
@Timothy McLean “private prisons” are not places where the people who own them can just do whatever they want regardless of the law lol.
@@albstare I mean...not _legally,_ but rich people can get away with a _lot_ of shit. They don't need to specifically own the prison, but still. Which was what I was _trying_ to imply, but apparently I was being too subtle.
AS AN ASEXUAL PERSON I AM. SO MAD THERY ERASED THAT. LIKE HE COULD STILL HAVE A RELATIONSHIP (im ace and im dating someone) BUT DONT MAKE HIM ALLO.
All they needed to do for the Black Hood was to imply that Betty's father purposefully put in contacts to avoid being identified through the only manner that bystanders would've had at identifying him- since his eyes are the only visible feature he sports. The future explanation for why his eyes were green at that dinner table could've simply been that he'd gotten so used to the contacts that he'd just forgotten to take them out.
it would be so easy too. literally could just include a 5-second shot of betty’s dad taking out a green contact out of his eye, but no, the CW couldn’t be bothered
When trying to tackle modern teenage social issues it's probably best not to have your teenage characters portrayed by incredibly athletic people in their mid 20s
Word.
They do that to get around child labor laws.
@@icecreamhero2375 that don’t explain why they have to be all super athletic and attractive
@@brandonporter8509 People like looking at attractive people.

It baffles me that despite watching so many videos criticizing and making fun of Riverdale, I had never heard about 85% of the crazy plot points revealed in this video. This is WILD. This is the first take on the series to actually make me understand why it still exists if everyone knows it sucks: it's just too unhinged to look away.
SAME--how has everyone who has been talking about it not talked about how off-the-walls lunatic it gets?
same here
it reminds me of those weird ass anime series like valvrare, crossange, flamenco... that dont make any sense, often with bad writing, but are filled with ridiculous fun plot twists 24/7
and those shows always get hated
and id understand that, but generic and predictable shows with cliched safe writing always have better reception... people make no sense man
Probably cos they hate it or don't comprehend the absurdity and take it as a serious issue...
@@afiffarhati4580 A show being absurd is fine. Riverdale is how you're not supposed to do absurd storytelling. Because even with shows like Twin Peaks where absurdity is integral to the story, it stays focused. It starts something and it pays it off in the way that even if it's absurd, it makes sense because you saw what led to the end point. Riverdale writers from time and time again are revealed even by the actors that they just put shit in the show just for shock value, but they barely follow through with most of it. That gives you audiences that are slowly disengaging.
I wish I didn't know Cole Sprouse was Jughead. "I'm weird, imma weiiirdoo"
Ffs - take it all back.😤
Turning your theory behind the final scene of season 1 into an Ace Attorney bit is an immaculate creative choice ngl

The "including Jughead's beanie" is so oddly hilarious.

Um... the “gay play” mention was pretty disingenuous. It wasn’t just a gay play, no no it’s even better. It was a play where Archie hooks up with an actual 1920s serial killer. Why? Because Roberto is a glorified Wattpad smutfic writer crossed with an Ao3 writer on crack, that’s why.
Wasn’t Hitler in it as well?
@@joshsylvester1450 I don’t know, I know it from secondhand info. But if that’s true... even more reasons I wish SEP didn’t just call it a “gay play”.

@@joshsylvester1450 WHAT
Yeah, that was pretty dishonest of him. Glad I wasn't the only one bothered by that.
@@corenlavolpe6143 Yeah. I hope it’s just that whatever articles he was using for research didn’t go in-depth about it, but it’s disappointing in two ways. He would have had a field day with it too, just from two plot points I can tell it’s basically the stage play counterpart of “Son Goku and Anne Frank: To The End of Time” (or whatever it was called).
A show very similar in ridiculous seriousness to this is the show "Nip Tuck" a completely played serious show about plastic surgery, that involves A drug cartel, surgery on a gorilla, a serial killer, a main characters wifes affair with Peter Dinklage, and a future arc that takes place in the 2030s with Lazer surgery. It's genuinely one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen. It somehow makes every ridiculous concept work with the themes of the show, and ot ends up something really unique.

That said, I will give Madeline Petsch all the credit for just deciding to ham it up with the insanity that's going on in Riverdale. When the show's gone off the rails like Riverdale, just chew the scenery.
This video cuts off after the 5th season, it's worth reading random sentences from the "List of Riverdale Episodes" wikipedia page article.
"She awakens in 1944, and is met by the angel Raphael, in the form of Jughead, who reveals to her she can time travel. She helps a black family and prevents Riverdale from becoming a sundown town, despite opposition from Percival, and is sent to the day of MLK's assassination in 1968. Raphael in the form of Toni tells her she can't save him, but can protect the black community from Percival. "
"Veronica is revealed to have been exiled to Riverdale by her parents after having a role in James Dean's accident. "
"Following the murder of Emmett Till, Jughead attempts to connect with Tabitha, who eventually leaves to tour the country with Till's family. "

“Wow even my brain doesn’t know what it just read.”
I stopped watching when Series 7 got boring but I want to confirm that a lot of these are real. It feels like a collective drug trip.
I can't believe they killed off Jason, atleast that early in the show. The twins always played a big role in the comics. Hell they even had their own comics. One where one of them was the anti-christ
