I'm being told that Archie season 5 takes place in 2021 but covid isnt' there and archie, who recently graduated high school, has war flashbacks that appear to be to world war 1 or 2

ok i'm sorry there was a timeskip and he graduated from high school 7 years ago, which makes war flashbacks to world war 1 or 2 so much more reasonable

I am 4 minutes into the first episode of Riverdale and I am already losing my mind. This guy said "Archie is Swell" and then called Archie a millenial. This is GRUESOMELY temporally unmoored and it is clearly intentional.

Ok so Betty got "enjoy your youth" advice directly from Toni Morrison at a Toni Morrison book launch party, sure

Veronica is apparently obsessed with Truman Capote as a high school sophomore

Riverdale Writers 🤝 Dirk Strider
Intertextuality is the cornerstone of art and civilization

"Mom I'm not Polly" maybe you should be poly

b

because you're

in an eternal love triangle

"Did you tap some cougar ass" absolutely hellish phrase thank you for drawing attention to the fact that it's just a bad set of words @Paradox

Ok Veronica is Carlos With The Perfect Teeth to Riverdale's Night Vale

oh my god Josie and the Pussycats are here????

The absurdity of this show is so clearly intentional and I'm really upset that people have been framing it as if the show runners dont' know what they're doing in that regard

Ok you cannot tell me that the Blossom twins were not fucking. in the first 45 seconds they gave each other bedroom eyes and just now she called him her soulmate. I assume she didn't murder him because that's too obvious but like

I see, Archie and the hot teacher with heart shaped sunglasses fucked and we're just firing that bullet before the title card

@SophiaSurname god i like. you're reacting like this to season 1

you have no idea what's to come

season 1 is so intensely normal
