Skwirl posted:Dark Archie is hella boss and I don't understand the complaints about Jughead no longer being asexual because in the one episode that exists he kinda seems pretty asexual. There's a part where literally every teen character goes to the Official gently caress Zone and the only one who decides instead to plug away on his laptop in an empty diner is . . . our man Dark Jughead

Riverdale is weirdly captivating, it's really bad like every lovely teen drama show but it also has this Deadly Premonitions-esque vibe where all the elements are cargo culted in with so much force that the fakeness becomes internally convincing.

gently caress Whitey posted:They're referring to the comics I think where Chip Zdarsky explicitly said he was asexual I was way drunker than I meant to be when watching Dark Archie, so it's entirely possible I missed something, but I meant Jughead, the character in the TV show, seemed to also be asexual. It's possible that something in a review revealed that he goes to bone town in a future episode I guess.

LesterGroans posted:"What is a Chock'lit Shoppe and why does it sell burgers?" I grew up reading Archie religiously so it was a lot of fun seeing different characters and concepts turn up. I'm vaguely upset that Jughead isn't a horrible glutton but extremely delighted that Moose is gay. Maybe Jughead will have a dark compulsive eating subplot.

It's one of those movies that loses something not seeing it on VHS, feeling like you're not supposed to be watching it. But it's still great.

It's too bad the colorization isn't more lurid, it kinda came out looking like raw digital footage. Still, Forbidden Zone is way up there on movies I'd love to see a beat-up print of at some crappy arthouse theater. I feel like the proper way to view it is with your feet sticking to a puddle of soda on the floor while the guy two rows behind you halfheartedly jacks off.

Honestly I think this is the appeal Archie as a brand has this image of being really cliche and out of date. The show is leaning into that super hard and making that artifice a deliberate choice, which has the added benefit of making the show instantly accessible so they can get right to the insane stuff like the Blossom twins having the whole Cruel Intentions thing going on

Like Riverdale feels like a product of teen shows from ten years ago, all snark and insanely on point pop culture references that no teenager would ever make and exactly the plot beats you would expect from one of those shows if it revolved around a love triangle. Here's the everyman, here's the rear end in a top hat jock, here's the gay best friend, here's the rich new girl, here's the girl next door. Also, here's a murdered twin who it's implied was in a real weird relationship with his sister!
