What he's trying to say actually has merit-- he doesn't need lots of friends or popularity and doesn't need to fit in because he's okay with who he is, and it's insensitive of her to try to change that.

What I love about always sunny is how every episode basically starts out with ''the gang'' being either bored or wanting to make some money, so they decide to do something. And by the end of the episode they've just left this path of destruction behind, ruining people days or sometimes even their lives. They then either deny their part in it or are completely oblivious of their wrongdoing and carry on their lives as usual. Its completely over the top and insane, but in a weird sort of realistic way. It is also probably the only show I know where people frequently get into arguments while talking at the same time and cutting off each others lines. Its also the reason this show stands out for me so much, because the absolute chaotic mess that Always Sunny brings is so different from all other sitcoms where characters just carefully line up a joke and wait for some other member to deliver the punchline.

And partially because Danny Devito is a gift to humanity.

The reason Jughead wears a crown was because at the time Archie was created, it was common for fathers to give their sons their old and worn out hats (fedoras and bowlers and etc) and the kids would turn them inside out, put pins and buttons on them, and cut the brim so they had that spikey pattern. Jughead's crown was originally that. The comic went on so long that it would eventually hire artists who had no idea that was a thing thought it was a crown, so it became a crown.

Another story where Jughead pushes Archie out of the way of a runaway truck and gets hit in the head by a box that fell off the truck and almost dies. A bittersweet story that ran in the 90s where Jughead meets a homeless man who was a big band drummer and let's him drum with the Archies, when he goes back to see him on the streets, he finds out the man died. Another story that was part of a kid-friendly homage to 1984 where Reggie's dad was put into jail for talking about the military at Mr. Lodge's factory in his newspaper. Reggie manages to free his dad by blackmailing the judge working the case after the judge is caught in a compromising position with a secretary.

We don't break the ice, we beat it to a slush.

So interesting fact, Jughead actually wears what's called a "Whoopee Cap," which is a type of hat once common among both youths and mechanics. It got popular around the time men started wearing fedoras, being fairly easy to modify from a fedora, because it was still considered polite for men to wear a hat when outside.The snapback baseball cap wouldn't gain prominence until the 1970s and the bowler had become somewhat more expensive and 'formal,' the options left were the beanie or making a hat of your own. Beanies, however, were often associated with college students, and in an area with a prominent town/college divide, a 'town' type wouldn't want to copy college fashion. On top of that, the cheapest beanies were typically made of canvas, which can grow stiff when dirty, and would usually come only in light colors. A fedora offered a more varied color selection, however, meaning that the dirt could be more easily hidden. So, workmen would purchase brown, black, or grey fedoras and cut off the brims. The fact that these modifications were typically made by the workmen themselves with scissors rather than the merchant (or their wives) meant the brim would typically turn out jagged. Rather than trying to even that out, the men who made Whoopee Hats began to lean into it, cutting the edge of the brim off first and them using triangle cuts to finish rather than trying to be even. i.pinimg.com/originals/9d/fc/33/9dfc3325d414640b1f8459cc718db557.jpg The style would be copied by the workmen's sons, who (Not having the same practical need) would cut the brims higher on the brim and more deeply into it. However, this meant the brim would often flop, which would necessitate securing the brim with thread (if mom would help) or a pin or button (if she wouldn't.) This lead to the buttons themselves becoming accessories, somewhat like buttons and pin on a person's bag or backpack today (or maybe last decade)? Which would lead to the more ostentatious 'crown'-style whoopees shown here. mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com/cqhiHLc.WqA8~2eefa/w:400/h:244/q:75/bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/whoopee.jpg However, with the continued rise in the popularity of baseball, fall in the popularity of the beanie on college campuses, and more intentionally transgressive youth cultures such as greasers, beatniks, and others, the whoopee hat died out after around the 1950s... Which is not too long after the Archie comic series began. With the characters having always been exaggerated and the original style being mimicked in the design pretty much gone from the artist's consciousness, Jughead's whoopee hat would grow larger. While it grew, it was still largely recognizably a whoopee hat to someone who knew what they were looking for right up until about the '70s or '80s. In the '70s and '80s, the fast-food company Burger King began to distribute paper crowns. Because of the crown's popularity and tie to Jughead's primary fixation (food,) once that was introduced the hat would be drawn pretty much just int he style of a crown, at times even getting flares and similar ornamentation impossible in felt in some more detailed images.

the funniest part of the 'my name is jughead ' thing is that Jughead was(obviously) not his birthname????? Like, if the writers had put any amount of research into the original character, they would know his legal name is Forsythe, and that he was made to be the weird jester character in contrast to the forced love triangle between Archie, Veronica, and Betty

We went from milkshakes and mysteries to cult leaders building space rockets, mutant robot moth men, actual bombs and witches. This show has a level of surreal storytelling I’ve only seen in pro wrestling and Mexican telenovelas

Riverdale is just the most recent proof that Hollywood doesn’t know what people like. Not every piece of teen media needs to be filled with angst, constant romantic drama, “quirky” characters, and behind-the-scenes criminal schemes. Sometimes, people just want something realistic and down-to-earth, like, I don’t know, maybe the source material that Riverdale was supposed to be based off of?

The comics were very lighthearted. And it had very interesting things. Like Archie finding a frozen caveman and having him be friends

I will admit, I don't like that they sexualized Jughead. Jughead shows ZERO interest in girls in the comics. Any time a girl comes after him, he shows infinite more interest in food. And I know this because when I was 10 I had a whole stack of Jughead comics. The hat is cute though.

It has that weird cringy overly-stereotypical dialog to it you find in movies like Scary Movie (which TRY to take the piss) but it *wants to be taken seriously* And so it just falls flat on its face It'd be like taking Tom and Jerry and turning it into a gritty crime drama or something, its just stupid from the get-go.

For the first point about references, I think a great example in my opinion of a way to have a character make references or a vessel to include references is Abed from Community. He is painted as this weirdo who can't understand reality but he connects to people through movies. His character feels like the screen writers just want references but the more you understand his character you can tell it is his personality and it makes sense. It also allows the show to go into a weird place with references where they feel natural like in the second paint ball where they go for a more Fist Full of Dollars spaghetti western style and transfer to a star wars reference style. Or in the Christmas episode where they completely break the style established and goes into claymation. And it makes sense that Abed controls these episodes and take more spotlight, this is where Abed succeeds in his world of references to movies, shows and video games that doesn't feel forced narratively. I think Abed is the type of character you mean as a vessel for fun references as a weird outcast who connects through media.

YES. Season one was actually kinda good because the teens acted more like teens that matured through traumatic circumstances. They also got the police involved when bad things happened (which was such a breath of fresh air from the whole Pretty Little Liar drama), but of course they totally ditched that in season two because reasons... But in the rest of the seasons, they all just act like adults. There's not even classroom shots with teachers or mention of homework or school projects (just PROM or random "school-like" events). The best we see of school is their hang out room and the hallways. They do sexualize teenagers (especially with that whole Mad World pole dance with Betty.) AND Veronica has this weird side business like an actual adult. What 16-17 year old could seriously RUN a restaurant and LEGALLY sell alcohol? (And not get caught.) (Side note: Some teens might be capable, but most don't have the time with school and other commitments [for ex. Veronica is on cheer squad].) And it wasn't even the best keep secret either. Like apparently in season 4 she sells RUM. She's not even of legal age to DRINK let a lone sell. Sigh... Honestly, they could have just been seniors in the first season and started college in the rest of the seasons because that's what it feels like. (Though there would have been A LOT more paper writing and test cramming in there, so yeah).

Yeah but the money tho

Even in season one it’s clear the writers do not know how to place Archie in this version of Riverdale. First few episodes he’s in a highly unethical relationship with his teacher (which the writers must have realised a few episodes too late wasn’t a good storyline) and spends the rest of the season tied up with the music vs football dilemma or in romance sub-plots with Valerie or Cheryl. He’s completely unconnected to the investigation of Jason Blossom’s murder. When the writers actually give KJ Apa good material to work with, mostly to do with Fred Andrews in a bad position, he absolutely sells the raw emotion we’re told Archie is feeling. But this is the exception to the standard material he’s given.

maybe don't frame Archie's relationship with his teacher while he was 15-16 (a legal child in america) as something that's kind of his fault, since it literally isn't. if that isn't what u were trying to do then sorry it just read that way /g

Archie’s friends represent the different paths he can take in life. (In the comics & Original/older depiction’s) Betty: representing him following in his father‘s footsteps with the hardware store with her being literally the girl next-door. Veronica: representing him taking on his journalistic endeavors attempting to strike out on his own. Jughead: representation if he refuses to act on either choice.

Riverdale did have potential, but a combination of peculiar themes, bad dialogue, and constant retconning and plot holes really just screw the whole thing over. It's based off a campy comic about a guy and his friends in high school. If it just had bad dialogue, or just had plot holes, or just had questionable themes, then it'd be alright, but all of those things put together plus the material that it is based off combine to make it "cringey."

My problem with Riverdale is that I can’t put it down. It’s terrible writing, but the minute I’m ready to leave, they give me some amazing amazing scene. Or cleverly filmed, or uniquely written. I then stick around for 200 other bullshit scenes in the hope another comes around. Riverdale has had so many new seasons to change their writing, to improve and yet-they haven’t. I really thought the authors had an okay start and would get better but it only seems to get worse.

The references section is great cause I feel like people tend to just go "references bad" when they can be effective if used smartly. Like the character Crichton from Farscape is a normal earth man who got isekaid to a far off Galaxy full of wierd Jim Henson aliens. He makes lots of pop culture references that he knows only he has any context for and the clear subtext is that he's doing it because he's homesick.

That opening shot... My first introduction to archie was the jughead comics where hes ace and then the comics with disability bait and then I found out the show didn't have jughead ace (those comics are actually pretty good) so this video is funnnn

Apollo9898LPs they want diversity points without really doing anything. So many shows do that. They include a gay character just because they feel they need to them just write them horribly or side line them, until they need to remind the audiences there is in fact a gay character. They gay character falls into being a. Stereotypical b. Comic relief c. Tragic (the tragedy being centered around the fact that they’re gay) or a mixture of all three.

Your voice is so satisfying to listen to. I feel you’d make a great voice actor.

Jughead’s hat in the comics is called a whoopee cap. It’s a type of hat usually made from a felt fedora. The brim is cut and folded up. It was an old style for boys in the 50s etc.

Mostly I'm just frustrated they put Jughead, who is canonically asexual and aromantic, in a romantic relationship of any kind.

Jughead wasn't asexual in the comics until very recently. He's canonically asexual AND kind of an incel. If he and Betty weren't together in the show, the girls would probably be fighting over Archie. That is cannon. It was almost everything they did in Archie and friends comics before 2010. The show actually gave them a reason to live besides Archie It's... progressive? Hmm.

The most painful thing about this show is the fact that the casting choices are soo perfect.

when you were talking about the references it made me think of Gilmore Girls. Rory and Lorelei are constantly making references and that makes sense for them because they watch a lot of movies and listen to a lot of music and Lorelei did it first and Rory does it because she learned it from her mom and its constant because Rory sometimes makes book references that Lorelei doesn't get because she's not as big of a reader as Rory is and the only other people who make references are they people that spend a lot of time around Rory and Lorelei. You can see it in Dean, the more time he spends with the girls the more he starts to understand their references and stuff and sometimes will make his own references with them about stuff they've seen together. You can also see it with Luke, he's known Lorelei since way before the story started so her way of speaking and making references has rubbed off on him a bit, but both with him and Dean it works because it feels natural with the amount of time they spent with the girls. Anyway Riverdale doesn't do any of that.

But honestly, though, the first season set up for SOOO much potential. Then they started enlisting Wattpad creators for screenplay writers.....
