Community Manager Water Bottle Posted October 23, 2014 Community Manager Share Posted October 23, 2014 Here you go I have a feeling someone at FOX saw this trailer and was like "holy shit, why isn't this already a series!?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I have a feeling someone at FOX saw this trailer and was like "holy shit, why isn't this already a series!?" Seriously, that's some intense shit. The creators are saying Riverdale will be "Archie meets David Lynch" with a very Twin Peaks vibe. Sooo IN! http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=56570 Also intense? The "Afterlife with Archie" comic series which is a zombie apocalypse set in Riverdale. Apparently there are specials planned for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyLL Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I loved Archie comic well into my 20s. I still have boxes of the larger comic booklets somewhere in the house. However, that movie trailer might have scarred me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I loved Archie comic well into my 20s. I still have boxes of the larger comic booklets somewhere in the house. However, that movie trailer might have scarred me. You will love the "Afterlife with Archie" comic then. Drunk Reggie runs overs and kills Hot Dog, who then returns as a flesh eating zombie and begins a zombie apocalypse, Betty and Veronica call each other words like "$lu*" and Cheryl Blossom has an incestuous relationship with her twin brother!

Spidey Freak Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 These character breakdowns for the main 4 are EVERYTHING! Quote ARCHIE ANDREWS | A high school sophomore, the redhead is still boyishly handsome but “pumped and looking good after working construction for his dad during the summer.” Archie is grappling with heavy issues and juggling the interest of several girls while discovering his passion for writing and performing music against his father and his football coach’s better wishes. Oh, and he’s harboring more than one dark, terrible secret. BETTY COOPER | The blonde and pretty sophomore is described as having “some self-esteem issues and affinity for Adderall.” Eager-to-please, wholesome and studious, Betty has a super-crush on her longtime best bud, Archie. But tired of being the “perfect” everything, she turns to her new friend, Veronica, for life advice. Betty has an emotionally brittle mom, a goth-like sister and a coveted spot on the cheerleading squad — though with certain conditions…. VERONICA LODGE | Producers are aiming to ideally cast a Latina as this “silver-tongued” stunner, who has just returned to Riverdale from New York following a scandal which resulted in her father going to prison. Extremely intelligent, self-confident and immediately popular, Veronica is eager to reinvent herself — from Mean Girl to caring friend. JUGHEAD JONES | A hearing-impaired actor is being sought to play Jughead as an “emo-heartthrob.” 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, but with a philosophical bent, Jughead “refuses to take the olive branch being proffered by Archie, the hurt goes that deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Water Bottle Posted March 5, 2017 Community Manager Share Posted March 5, 2017 Any thoughts on who the real killer is? I think Alice Cooper is too obvious although I think her husband thinks she did (hence why he did take the evidence). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm enjoying the mystery though and I hope it's solved in a satisfying manner. Edited March 12, 2017 by Arlborn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Freak Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Ethel (who is actually Barb) did it because she needed a replacement to take her place in the Upside Down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
