cant cook creole bream posted:You might consider linking that. Criticizing the costume choices on this show is weird. It's like being upset at Game of Thrones for the gratuitous violence and nudity. Also, if you're getting upset about the choice on an in universe level it's his mother's fault for letting him show up like that.

Binary Logic posted:Are they still in high school, in some scenes Betty looks mid-20s. Welcome to every prime time teen melodrama. They also don't age in real time, all the main characters in The O.C. have driver's licenses from the very episode but it takes them 4 years to graduate despite not being held back

Shoehead posted:All these teens are so jacked. And stacked. Jughead's looks painted on because it is, the actor didn't want to get an actual tattoo from a fake gang and I guess the makeup artist isn't that great. Though if I was the actor playing Jughead I'd probably get the tattoo for real if they pick up a fourth season, not for the character, but for myself.

Like I don't remember the details but it was heavily implied there wa some sort of love triangle between them and Hiram or they dated before she ended up with Hiram.

It's more of a horror show than Riverdale, but it's not really a horror show. I'm going to say Yes, you'll like it, just treat the first two episodes as an extended pilot.

Whalley posted:Jesus christ Archie looked exactly like young Luke Perry I think he tries too hard with the furrowed brow, and as much as his normal hair on the show bothers me (I know he's a natural redhead, but they have to also be dyeing it or abusing the gently caress out of lighting) him with dark was even weirder.

There's an idea that one of the reasons monks in the middle-ages would have so many weird rear end visions is that a naturally occuring mold in old books had psychoactive chemicals. And back before the printing press old books were valuable as gently caress and these were the were the only people who would handle them on the regular. There's a drug in the ink of the Griffins and Gargoyles book (some version of whatever the made up drug they've used as a plot point a dozen times before, I can't remember the name).

esperterra posted:I enjoyed the episode a lot, but it felt weird to me. Like the show was leaning hard into it, but the actors kinda weren't. I wanted to see some hammy impressions of Madchen Amick, Skeet Ulrich and Luke Perry basically lmao Yeah, they were all playing characters very different from what their parents became, which works okay as character development for the parental characters, but is a piss poor idea for a gimmick episode with all your young main cast members playing their parents.

Somewhat Heroic posted:I can’t imagine what this episode cost in licensing for all the excellent music choices. I loved every second of it. The CW is co-owned by CBS and Warner Brothers, so it's probably mostly stuff from their catalogs. If you're gonna want to re-watch it I recommend buying a physical copy when it's available, I know a lot of the music for the early seasons of Supernatural got loving gutted when it moved to Netflix.

Twin Cinema posted:I liked when Archie wrote, "my dad was a good tipper" and they cut to Pop saying, "he sure was". That makes me think someone in that foursome is a lovely tipper, my guess would be Betty. There's no way Archie is a lovely tipper given his worship of his father, Veronica worked as a waitress, as did her mother, no one in the industry is a lovely tipper, Jughead would clearly skip a meal before eating out when he couldn't tip (I know, in the comics Jughead would never skip a meal, but comics Jughead is also asexual), only leaves Betty, who, as much as I love her, definitely keeps track of how many times she got a refill on her water and adjusts her tip accordingly.

esselfortium posted:edit: Also, where did Archie's mom go...? I don't think Molly Ringwald ever wanted to be part of the main cast, and she might have contract that costs too much for her to be in every episode. She was only on the show so much this season because of Luke Perry's unfortunate and sudden death.

No, but if you only expect to use someone a few times a season, and they're maybe reluctant to return to acting (she wrote a great essay about how being John Hughes' muse was a mixed experience for her) you might pay them more per episode than some of the regular cast.

I can't believe they had a teenager in the 2010s doing the "anonymous sex with strangers in the woods" thing, like he was a middle aged dude in the 70s.
