At least Archie is still a ginger.
OH LET ME GUESS, 13 EPISODES OF BULLSHIT LOVE TRIANGLE GARBAGE?!
>>82442742
Oh, boy, you don't know, do you?
He looks appropriately dweeby.
>>82442774
Oh god... Why can't they just make them lesbians?
>>82442791
I like it.

The lanky lad is Archie’s former best friend, seeing as the two still are smarting from a rift that took place between them. Angry, Jughead refuses to take the olive branch being proffered by Archie, the hurt goes that deep.

KEVIN KELLER (Casey Cott)

>>82443165
>>82443177
cute.
ALICE COOPER (Madchen Amick)

>>82442711
Now that's an Archie I could fuck.
FLOYD CLAYTON (Colin Lawrence)

>>82442742
It wouldn't be Archie without a love triangle.
But who's playing Cherry Poptart?

>>82443430
Wait, who was the first: the musician or a character?
>>82442742
>OH LET ME GUESS, 13 EPISODES OF BULLSHIT LOVE TRIANGLE GARBAGE?!
H-Have you not heard? Oh god guys, I think he really doesn't know.
>>82442711
Archie is going to be CWs Joker isn't he?
>>82442959
>>Jughead is a caffeine-addict, sullen heartthrob with a philosophical bent
HUBERT SMITHERS (Tom McBeath)
>The Lodge family's dutiful butler who accompanies Veronica and Hermione to Riverdale, and has an agenda of his own.
>>82442711
What's wrong with his face?
He reminds me less of Archie and more of Jerome from Gotham.
>>82443746
Well, he's got the murder thing down.
>>82442934
>Veronica has just returned to Riverdale from New York with her divorcee mother, following a scandal which resulted in her father going to prison
Why cut out Veronica's dad? In the comics he got more storytime then every other parent put together.
>>82442774
>>82443713
I'm very confused.
>>82443868
So he can dramatically return in the midseason finale.
>>82443568
Geez, they're not going to have a single ugly character in this show, are they?
SJWs should wake up to uglywashing already.
>>82443800
Clear Hiram of murder and bring vengeance on those that framed him.
End of first season outside a prison Smithers waiting by a car. Hiram comes walking out.
"So, you found out who framed me? "
" Afraid not sir, just enough doubt to clear your name. Shall we go back home?"
"No, I'm going to Riverdale. My family is there, and we've got a score to settle. "
" Very good sir. "
Reason I'd watch the show.
>ginger
>brown eyebrows
this is garbage
>>82443818
He's got douche face.
Where's Sabrina?
>>82442711
Whoa, when did Bill Nye discover a youth serum?
>>82444023
Fuck that, where's Midge?
>>82442959
>no crown
DELETE THIS
>>82443978
>Implying it wasn't Smithers all along.
>>82444058
You realize these images are just headshots of the actors right?
Though honestly I can't see how they could make the crown work, but still.
>>82442934
A cross-eyed mystery meat Veronica, just what the world needed.
>>82444052
Midge will be a high shool dropout a few years older than Moose, and she'll have a kid. Likely work at Pops.
>>82443069
>What he lacks in brains he makes up for in brawl, and has a particular soft spot for older women.
So is he going to go after
>>82443375
>>82443430
>>82443507
>>82443568
?
>>82444058
Reportedly he still wears from time to time.
>>82443800
He looks like Jorah Mormont from GoT.
>>82443887
Read the official character bios posted in the thread.
This entire show is satire on the teen drama genre as well as the wholesomeness that archie typically presents.
>Archie accidentally kills a guy
>Archie's dad has mob connections, which he uses to cover up the murder
>Mr. Lodge is framed for the murder and sentenced to jail
>Betty is a pill addict who fucked her way on to the cheer squad
>Veronica is... Well she's just veronica. For now.
>Jughead doesn't eat hamburgers
>Guy who Archie killed had an incestuous relationship with his bitch of a sister
>Archie is caught fucking his teacher, which they end up both exploiting
Pretty much everybody is going to fuck everybody at some point. Hell, Betty's already started.
>>82443345
>FRED ANDREWS (Luke Perry)
>>82444083
Smithers is loyal and we already know it's Archie that killed and buried the body on a Lodge construction yard which got him sent to prison.
>>82443959
>Geez, they're not going to have a single ugly character in this show, are they?
Not familiar with the CW, huh?
>>82444098
He jokes with Reggie about how many Milfs they fucked over the summer. So yeah.
>>82444092
Gay.
>>82442742
No, 23 episodes.
Who's going to b play the hero Hiram Lodge?
>>82444130
They're hammering on Archie so much he'll obviously not be the killer, although he'll believe it was him.
>>82444236
Jason Priestly.
>>82444130
>Jughead doesn't eat hamburgers
I don't mind the other crazy bullshit, but that's just bad.
>>82443746
We find out that the Riverdale show is actually the origin story for The Joker.
>>82442711
>ginger
>>82444279
No, he's the killer. It was an accident, but he's still the killer.
Remember, this is supposed to be satire on the teen drama genre. EVERYTHING is supposed to be over the top dramatic. It's also supposed to shit all over it's source material's wholesomeness by making everything dark, depressing, and sad. I believe that they've said Riverdale will have several bars and strip clubs on the main street.
>>82444523
Just watch. Satires still need vaguely likeable protagonists.
>>82444130
>This entire show is satire on the teen drama genre as well as the wholesomeness that archie typically presents.
Doubt.jpg
>>82444571
But he's still likeable. That's his whole deal. He's going to be an upbeat dude who tries to do the right thing but is constantly shit on by literally everything else around him.
>>82444622
I'm not the dude who usually makes these threads, but if he's around he can post links to the interviews and shit where they talk about this stuff.
>>82444622
From the first character bios it seems like they're trying to make it an edgy teen melodrama. Then they keep on piling it on to the point where it's either a send-up on teen drama or a telenovela. Either of which is fine with me.
So it's the mystery of Veronica Mars but with Archie characters? I don't know how to feel about this.
>>82443069
>for older women.
What happened to MILFs? I like MILFhunter Moose better.
>>82443959
>SJWs should wake up to uglywashing already.
It was called second-wave feminism
>>82443165
>>82443177
The possibility of the pussycats going through a Destiny's Child style break up is the most hopeful I can be for this show.
>>82444448
>not knowing Archie is connected to Marvel via Punisher
I can't wait for Frank to show up
>>82444871
MILFs are older women.
>>82442791
>>82442711
Actually he's fucking ripped. And the hair is a dye job
>>82442896
>>82442910
>>82442934
>>82442959
>>82442959
>>82442959
>>82443058
So where does the Predator fit into all this?
>>82444985
>not knowing the Archie/Punisher comic connects to the Batman/Punisher comic
This is the CW Archie anyway so the prior crossovers don't count.
>>82442959
>Jughead is a caffeine-addict, sullen heartthrob with a philosophical bent. The lanky lad is Archie’s former best friend
>>82442959
Hearttthrob? Isn't Jughead supposed to be asexual?
>>82446390
Here he's just gay.
>>82442959
>caffeine-addict

>no crown

Cept he blackmails his teacher right out the gate after fucking her over the summer. Tried to sleaze his way into the Pussycats so they'll play his songs.
He's a douche among douche.
>>82445119
Yea he worked at his dad's construction yard over the summer.
>>82447025
He always was pretty douchey though. I mean, he's spent decades stringing along two girls who are in love with him while still pursuing and going out with half the town's female population.
>>82443107
>>82443590
>twincest
why
>>82447025
The backmail is mutual, though. And he's just pestering Josie as far as we know.
>>82447025
>douche among douches
Sounds like Archie to me.
Why everyone gotta have a dark secret or some shit? The comics were just about a group of dumbfuck teens.
>>82442711
So you people are actually gonna watch this shit?
>>82444963
So, in other words, tossed out by the SJWs like yesterday's trash?
>>82444130
I don't give a single fuck about all that but this
>Jughead doesn't eat hamburgers
What fucker thinks this a good idea they could make Jughead a stoner or something for the eating seriously how do you make a Jughead that dosen't eat hamburgers
So they're turning the pretty light-hearted into an edgy teen drama?
>>82448045
He went on a hamburger detox and ended up addicted to coffee instead.
>>82442959
>doesn't eat hamburgers
>doesn't hate women
>doesn't wear the crown
What's Jughead about him?
>>82449042
To be fair, he hasn't really hated women in years, so much as not been romantically interested in them.
>>82442711
>but pubes are not ginger
DROPPED
>>82442711
>>82443375
>>82443430

>>82443568
milfs everywhere
this might not be the archie i know but if it's all about getting qt older women then maybe it's heading in the right direction after all
