Finally I hope this is the finally ending to the worst ship ever varchie. My god I've never hated any couple more than them ...also loved how u were vibing when Casey was singing...
not sure if anyone else noticed this detail... but the break up scene of Archie and Veronica, it was actually shot and filmed in a way where it looks like you're looking into a literal *sinking ship* ( i thought that detail and choice was VERY INTERESTING and very telling because this IS them ending things for good) it was filmed all dark, gloomy, wonky, lopsided, the angles that they filmed it, theres also a shot of what looks a lot like us looking into a window from an outside perspective looking in - seeing a sinking ship going down
Honestly my favorite part of the episode was just Jughead and Veronica's interactions, of which there was a...grand total of two. It's not a perfect translation of their comic dynamic but I don't dare to expect that from the show at this point, and it's probably the closest we're getting lol
Genuinely curious: Any Next to Normal fans, do you think it's wrong or problematic how much they took some of these songs out of context? I don't know how I feel about it yet, but I certainly do still know that Riverdale hasn't earned the right to adapt such an outstanding musical while their own depictions of mental illness have been so awful. Anyway, love you guys, and thanks for watching!!
I feel like a show that treat mental as such a quirky and cool thing like Riverdale should have no right to cover such a amazing musical like Next To Normal and taking it out of context is just so rude and insensible (Also Aaron Tveit deserves better than to be associated with Riverdale) Best part of the episode was Varchie breaking up for good tho !(i hope at least)
The show just became a bit more watchable. Hope Varchie NEVER gets back together. All that’s left is for them to put BARCHIE TOGETHER!!!! Great reaction video ❤️
I am STILL so so so MAD that they did Next To Normal. It is such a powerful and emotional musical and Riverdale has no right to taint it’s good name like that.
Amazing reaction as for usual Lucy!! The part where you got excited for Varchie was the wrong scene I was saying that while watching this video😂😂😂😂 love you girl ❤️❤️
I definitely agree with the points you made on mental health in this video. As we know, they never did research for the mental health issues Betty struggled with, even now as she faces PTSD from the whole TBK thing and they just throw it all out the window, it definitely pisses me off that they would have the nerve to play around with mental health issues and trivialize it. I personally loved Betty, Kevin and Charles' voices in this episode, though and I wish Betty and Kevin sang together more in their duet rather than one at a time. As for Varchie, good riddance, I don't like them, comics and show. I feel like they saw each other as trophies due to their attractiveness and reputations. Cheryl's 30 second scene of singing with Penelope was literally so pointless but hilarious to watch. Alice is definitely a toxic parent and she herself even admitted it in season 4 during the ice storm, my heart broke when she blamed Betty for Polly's death, if it wasn't for Betty, Polly would've died anyway if not sooner. I really hope 5x19 and Season 6 do characters justice. I'm curious to know how you think Riverdale could improve in S6 at the state it's currently in, what could be salvaged? Also, love the character essays and I can't wait for more. P.S- If you haven't seen the 5x19 trailer yet, there's two things in there you will like a lot despite it's intense and cringey nature overall ;) Sorry I wrote a long paragraph.
@@LucyAnne1 Of course I love your videos a ton especially the character essays, it helps me understand the characters better as well, as I love to write my own versions of this show (well it's more of an Archie Comics base than Riverdale base at this point). I am curious as to how you compose the character essays, do you write them first and then film or film as you talk about your thoughts on the characters?
Cole has a great voice, in my opinion. As a singer, I appreciate him more because even thought he didn't take singing classes he doesn't hold back when his character's singing performance has a purpose in the story, so he does his best to make it believable. He works harder than other colleagues that are more talented like lili and casey, and he manages to deliver great performances. The songs he sang weren't easy, but he was very good. He improved a lot.
While clearly the writers of this show don't really understand this musical I'm almost glad cause them trying to fit the emotional complexity of Next to Normal into Riverdale would have probably been worst. Like all in all could have been worse.
It could just be me. But while I was watching the I’m the one + I’m alive, it sounds like the people who play Polly/ Betty have some kind of tension in her mouth. Like possibly jaw/ tounge tension. Because they’ve got the strange accent on there voice. Also other characters on the show as well. Kind of like Cheryl. Sometimes Veronica. (Edit: sorry I’m late btw lol)
@@nmeditz9654 sorry, but probably not. I don’t really like doing trailer reactions because they aren’t insightful enough and don’t require any effort or analysis.
no one deserves varchie sinking more than you do. This is your moment queen.
Ahhhhh, thank you, I appreciate it!! 😊😊
I think it's kind of funny that they make Cole Sprouse sing but then totally dubbed Polly and Charles.
Lol, good point 😂
I find it an ironically clever way to show that Polly and Charles were a fantasy with the vocals dissonance.
Betty killed it I ugly cried during her last few songs.
i swear they’re just looking for what musicals are the most inappropriate for them to do
Finally I hope this is the finally ending to the worst ship ever varchie. My god I've never hated any couple more than them ...also loved how u were vibing when Casey was singing...
GOSH, I hope so too, and yes, they are DEFINITELY one of the worst couples on modern television. And lol thanks, he's amazing!! 😊

I concur 🙌🏼
honestly, taking the songs out of context isn’t as bad as them not addressing mental health whatsoever, which is the main theme of this musical.
@@minsqi VERY good point. That made me really mad too.
It’s not even that it’s disrespectful, they just ruined the songs, I mean they’re so fucking bad it’s awful to listen to
Can’t wait until they do spring awakening with a completely censored version of the bitch of living
Dude, they better not!!!... I LOVE your profile picture btw 😍😍
but the TV series RISE (from NBC) did Spring Awakening too. Are you sure about these info?
The show just became a bit more watchable. Hope Varchie NEVER gets back together. All that’s left is for them to put BARCHIE TOGETHER!!!! Great reaction video ❤️
Thank you, and I hope so!

your reactions to riverdale honestly make me CRY your too funny
Hahahaha, thank you so much!!
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THE MOULIN ROUGE REFERENCE!!!
mädchen said she cried while learning the songs because she’s just not a singer and was so nervous
While clearly the writers of this show don't really understand this musical I'm almost glad cause them trying to fit the emotional complexity of Next to Normal into Riverdale would have probably been worst. Like all in all could have been worse.
Good point 👌🏼
UM WITHOUT SAYING SPOILERS YOU ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO WANT TO WATCH THE NEXT EPISODE, IT'S SO GOOD AND YOU'LL DEFINITELY LIKE IT
This is the worst offense to mental health since 13rw
Go listen to Make Up Your Mind/Catch Me I’m Falling the full version it’s very good. As are some of the other songs.
I hope you will react to the finale because you're going to love it!
Please continue to post your videos so funny!!!!!
Thank you!!! 😊

(Edit: sorry I’m late btw lol)
I Miss The Mountains, I’m Alive, I Am the One, and Perfect For You were great. I thought they did a good job overall.
Your hatred for this show is so beautiful
As a Barchie fan you have to watch the finale!!
I would be needing the 5x19 reaction 🤣
It's finally filmed and will be uploaded within the next few days!
They shortened I’m alive to much and annoying changed lyrics but having seen it I think atleast I am the one wasn’t bad
I agree-- I was so annoyed how botched "I'm Alive" was, but yes, I Am the One was definitely one of the better numbers.
Hey, if you decide to do more Riverdale character essays, could you do Archie or Toni?
I plan on doing Archie, Kevin, and the minor characters from the comics who got snubbed in the show (like Moose and Midge) in the near future!!
@@LucyAnne1 yay!
WAIT YOU DONT LIKE BUGHEAD 😮
If you have seen the promo to the finale then you have to react to the finale, trust me barchie fan to barchie fan 😉
I watched the promo, and wow!! Like I said, I'll react to it if I can, but I don't know if my schedule for the week will allow it yet.
Finale reaction??
It's filmed and will be uploaded within the next few days!
@@LucyAnne1 and will you react to s6 promo?
@@nmeditz9654 sorry, but probably not. I don’t really like doing trailer reactions because they aren’t insightful enough and don’t require any effort or analysis.
