Riverdale |OT| Woah, Black Betty!
- Thread starter ZeroX
- Start date
God this show. I read the beginning issues of the excellent Mark Waid Archie run right before this show came out. The first season of the show felt like a slightly darker take on that version of the characters, but it's just been non stop crazy town since early season 2
I enjoyed this episode, though I still feel like Archie choosing to go to jail is the stupidest thing ever. I hope that stinger isn't a fake out, I want my Sabrina crossover

Well, that was exactly what I was looking for from the season opener; weird twisted genre tribute (beach party homage beside the burned out Blossom mansion), gorgeous over the top giallo inspired cinematography and lighting and absolutely bonkers weird shit. Between that True Detective/Wicker Man/Dark Dungeons Gargoyle King shit and Betty's Lynchian hallucination I am HERE FOR IT. The only thing I worry about is what feels like an inevitable Shawshank Redemption riff.
Can't someone just spoil me? It was physically painful from all the cringe and eye-rolling.
Season 2 was the most bat shit insane thing I've watched, and I've no regerts.
Watch it, and revel in it.

If you can't handle it then Riverdale isn't for you. It's only gonna get even more batshit.
Believe in yourself.
Okay, I'll queue it up on my free day off on Sunday :P
I can't even remember which episode I left off at, so I might have to rewatch a lot of it...
I refuse to believe there wont be a Sabrina crossover because of the mention of Greendale and that floating baby.
Here's a promo pic from next episode, and definitely not from gay porn.
dat Men.com crossover lmao
Just watched. Stray thoughts:
Cheryl with the bow will never get old.
Whatever the Gargoyle King shakes out to be is hopefully handled better than the Black Hood was. If it's not setting up a tie in with Sabrina, my crackpot guess is that Jellybean Jones is behind it all.
Only Archie can snatch a defeat from the jaws of victory like that. What an idiot.
Hiram continually baffles me with his decisions. Why admit everything?
WTF at the ending. Probably just a drug induced hallucination, but still
This show is so dumb, but yet it's so entertaining

I would really love it if they set the flying baby thing up to SEEM like it's just a drug-induced hallucination, but then as the season goes on more and more supernatural shit keeps happening and Betty realizes that she was right all along.
That would be the best shit ever. Fingers crossed they double down on the weird. I wanna see Red Ranger Cheryl vs Demon Gargoyle in the finale!
Then Sabrina snatches the arrow out of the air and snaps it.
THE SERPENT QUEEN IS THE WARRIOR QUEEN
Great, crazy premiere, just the way I like it. That ending tho, that surely was something....
Also what's up with the title? Isn't it Dark Betty, not Black Betty lol
Cuz it is
Lmfao
*remembers the Flash's trial, shudders
Yea what the fuck was that about, why is this kid so dumb, punish yourself some other way, jesus

The Dark Archieverse's "time period" is so hazy and inconsistent that it's literally impossible to tell.
I said it before in this thread but if you notice, they drop the babies then it cuts to them floating. Betty then has the seizure and it cuts back to mom and sister....and they aren't holding the babies. This is AFTER Betty is already collapsing, which means we're not seeing it through her perspective. Which means either: they actually dropped the babies in the fire, or the babies are ACTUALLY floating.
If this isn't true then their editing fucked up.
God I hope you're right. It would make me so happy if they finally embrace the weird full-stop.
I'd be ok with that, honestly. Just dive deep into insanity, because it stopped being believable as a show about teens in high school a long, long time ago
It really feels like they need to do that. If it goes too far, they can always reveal that everything that happened took place inside a novel Jughead's been writing.
Believe in the floating babies friends.
Also, I'm gonna need Betty to actually encounter a Doctor Glass or at least think she is seeing one.

I definitely hope they go full supernatural this season. They've been flirting with the idea since the series inception
Just do it! Make our dreams come true

If they introduce this supernatural shit and there really is no Sabrina crossover I will be devastated.
Nah it definitely leans towards the women, but it tries I suppose.
I guess Archie's their manservice bread and butter, guess no one is chomping at the bit to see shirtless Cole Sprouse, lol.
That's actually one of the examples that came to mind haha
I mean, hell, look at Cheryl's first appearance in the premiere lol
EDIT: Or the whole mess that is Dark Betty
That's why they keep Kevin around clearly
They make the effort for all ages
Veronica is clearly the kind of girl who has been to NYCC with her own self-made cosplay of an original character she made up and hired a Marvel artist to draw for her.
I will never understand why they chose to do a musical episode and then set it around a musical that bombed, hard, on Broadway. There had to be another choice they could've picked.
