Roberto gave an interview basically saying that him and the writers have been constrained by the Bughead relationship these past few seasons. Hopefully this means that they're done for good and they can fully explore Betty & Archie this season and next. It looks like they're setting up Tabitha as a new love interest for Jughead and maybe Veronica & Reggie can reunite and redeem each other.
That scene after the shower scene between Betty and Archie made a huge difference!! Because you can se them giggling and being all cute, it really shows that they’re “bestfriends” and will always be comfortable around each other
I think this friends with benefits storyline is kind of the writers' way of subverting expectations. Because they have been in each other's lives for so long, everyone imagine their first time to be less hmm rough (for the lack of a better word) but I LOVE how it turned out because I think makes sense. While they're best friends, they also haven't seen each other in 7 years. The connection is still there so this arrangement allows them to explore it immediately and then figure out the feelings part along the way. They're definitely gonna become more! No one actually believes betty and archie don't have feelings for each other, not even betty and archie.
i love the friends with benefits trope because.. well.. we all know how it ends. But yes I totally can understand why you would want their first time to be more special!
I totally agree with the point that Betty and Archie really should’ve had a slow burn instead of just THAT because they really are the type of people to have a slow burn. And if stupid Bughead and Varchie happen again I’m literally going to just quit shipping people on shows
I know Jughead is going through a bad time but I find it hard to feel bad for him after trashing the serpents name in his book and when tabitha gave him the job he didn’t even thank her like seriously??
tbh IMO, this is his time now to go through a tough time. (Ik he will rise up for sure) But it really makes me mad how some Jughead stans says he really deserves more but honestly other characters have been suffering enough for the past few seasons especially Archie.
I feel like the five seconds of fame literally ruined Jugheads whole personality like he used to be kind and thankful but now he’s a brat. And for real people have suffered worst then Jughead Betty (1) Dad was a serial killer (2) thought dad died (3) dad actually died in front of her (4) sister went insane (5) mother went insane (6) thought she was becoming a serial killer (7) almost had to burry her best friend alive (8) kept getting called by a serial killer (9) found out her grandpa was a serial killer too (10) thought boyfriend died. Archie (1) watched his dad get shot right in front of him (2) watched his friend get called by a crazy serial killer (3) his girlfriends dad was trying to ruin his life (4) almost got buried alive (5) found out the person who tried to kill his dad was his best friends dad (6) went to prison for something he didn’t do (7) got framed from his girlfriends dad (8) girlfriends dad tried to kill him many times (9) almost killed by a bear and then after that he went the slightest insane (until Betty got him out of it) (10) thought his other best friend died (11) started having feelings for his best friends girlfriend (12) dead died when he was only I think 17. Sorry for the really long list of things but this is just a few of the things others have gone through and I didn’t want to make it longer with comparing them to jugheads
I agree 100% with your take on Veronica's possible character arc. That was my analysis as well that she has always been defined by the men in her life. Cringe aside, I always felt Veronica has the most potential to stand on her own as an individual(w/o any goddamn ship). There have been multiple shows in the past where a prominent character has ended up single. However, those have mainly been male characters. Riverdale has a great opportunity to redefine Veronica's character and not portray her as a damsel in distress who needs to end up with Archie/Reggie to fulfill herself. However, it is still Riverdale and we can't really expect them to be that bold. So, I highly doubt that would happen.
Most shows fail to capture whatever initial greatness they had in their first couple of seasons. I notice the trend of shows I've watched in the last decade where I'm really into the first couple of seasons, then on average, Season 3 seems to be where they start to slump or lose their ability to tell a tight, coherent story. I think by that point, writers are fully aware of the most popular characters and ships, so they begin to feed into vocal fan frenzy instead of sticking to their original vision. Bates Motel is the only show I've watched in the last decade that felt like it stayed the creators/showrunners' vision for it's entire 5-season run and wasn't about trying to satisfy fans. I feel like Riverdale had a slump in Seasons 3 and 4, so now the writers had time to figure out a way to recover with this time jump, which is working out well. But they still need to have good writing, acting, and storytelling for it to work. Less cringe doesn't automatically mean less boring. So far, so good, though.
omg yes bates motel is one of the best shows ever and the last season is my favourite which is unusual for a lot of shows as u said the quality lessens with each season
When I was watching this episode I paused it right the second before the shower scene and I knew they were going to do something and I was dying to see what it was when I played it I was so surprised I love your reaction.
love your videos!! also i think the scene where bughead and varchie were walking home together, tho i am tired of them, i felt it was necessary to show that they’re not in a romantic place anymore cos there wasnt any angst, PLUS we got betty gushing about archie trying to save the town.its like she’s being reminded of the reasons she fell in love with him in the first place especially when she texted that she was glad archie hasn’t changed:) but ur right every bugvarchie scene i wish its the last lol also YES barchie looks happy together in a way they just werent with jughead and veronica so for them to go back to them would be.... weird and out of character really.
I'm sorry, but I can't. This week is going to be incredibly busy, and filming, editing, and uploading these videos takes up so much time. With school, extracurriculars, and life, there is just no way I can get it done. Maybe I can talk about the events of it in one of my upcoming Archie Comic character essays. Anyway, thanks for your support! 😊
I am like 3 or 4 episodes behind, so I'm probably not doing another reaction video for a little while yet-- they take up so much time, and I want to focus on interests other than The Archie Comics and how bad Riverdale is too. Also, this month has been one of the most exhausting and busiest of my life, and I can't do many videos right now that are too strenuous or that require great energy or time. Stay tuned for more content soon, and I hope you understand 😊
I agree with you I know Betty and Archie's relationship has a lot of history and the chemistry is there I hope we get more from them and not just sex like varchie.I know there is going to be a bit of drama which I am here for but want them to go through it together. I want them to redeem Reggie so he and Veronica end up together.
Honestly I think they are doing a fwb that turns into them falling in love with each other. At least that's how I see it going lol. But I'm with you I want their relationship to be more than sex, but then again I'm just happy they are actually touching in on their sexual and romantic relationship. Especially considering its been 4 plus years lol.
Betty and Archie have such a good chemistry

They have a lot in common with struggling to not become their fathers.
I totally agree put after watching the recent episodes that Jughead and Tabitha might hook up but it’ll probably be awkward
The way 5x06 promo alone showed 4 barchie scenes likeee I can only handle so much but my body is sooo ready for it😭😭barchie rising for real
Betty and Archie have such good chemistry. I'm enjoying them a lot

All good points!! Thanks!!! 😊
@@LucyAnne1 Right back at you! I really enjoyed your reaction / analysis btw.
Friends with Benefits. We all know how that ends....
Finally barchie getting the attention they deserve!!! ❤✨🚿
i love the friends with benefits trope because.. well.. we all know how it ends. But yes I totally can understand why you would want their first time to be more special!
WOOOHOOOO BARCHIE AND STEAM RISING!!!!! I was waiting for your reaction! Absolutely LOVE your reaction!
Thank you so much!!! 😊
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE.... TURN IT UP
"Is that an homage to Twin Peaks?"
I mean... considering Mädchen is in both shows... probably...
I HAVE BEEN WAITING 😭
I totally agree with the point that Betty and Archie really should’ve had a slow burn instead of just THAT because they really are the type of people to have a slow burn. And if stupid Bughead and Varchie happen again I’m literally going to just quit shipping people on shows
LOL what a mood 😅. And thanks!
BARCHIE
Veronica: 😐
Me: omygod can you just stop? for one second please?
I literally can't stand her 🤦🏻♀️😂
I know Jughead is going through a bad time but I find it hard to feel bad for him after trashing the serpents name in his book and when tabitha gave him the job he didn’t even thank her like seriously??

He didn't thank her AND he immediately asked for a second favor. It was damn rude.

Hahaha, the Michael Scott quote sent me 🤣... I really need to get a Peacock account 😒, but great video!
Thank you so much!! And I know, same! 😅😊
i missed hearing you talk about barchie!!
Thank you!! 😊

im so glad i was not alone when i literally grooved out to that amazing song during the raid, ooh
It's a song from the 60s (I believe? Maybe it's the seventies) called Hold On, I'm Coming! I'm glad the show is using older music now :)
@@LucyAnne1 I've always loved that song and similar music!
love your videos!! also i think the scene where bughead and varchie were walking home together, tho i am tired of them, i felt it was necessary to show that they’re not in a romantic place anymore cos there wasnt any angst, PLUS we got betty gushing about archie trying to save the town.its like she’s being reminded of the reasons she fell in love with him in the first place especially when she texted that she was glad archie hasn’t changed:) but ur right every bugvarchie scene i wish its the last lol also YES barchie looks happy together in a way they just werent with jughead and veronica so for them to go back to them would be.... weird and out of character really.
Thanks for this insight! And thank you for liking my videos!! 🙂
Somehow the writers are gonna fuck it up
Really wanted to see you react to this episode ahah
I know this isn’t a weekly thing and allll buttttt pls can u react to the next episode there’s a lot of barchie way more than this week’s
I'm sorry, but I can't. This week is going to be incredibly busy, and filming, editing, and uploading these videos takes up so much time. With school, extracurriculars, and life, there is just no way I can get it done. Maybe I can talk about the events of it in one of my upcoming Archie Comic character essays.

We’re ready.
Wow loved ur reaction. Ur take and understanding of characters is just like me . Loved it. Subscribing ♥️

Yes!!!
I feel her pain during the watching this episode 🤦♀️
27:08 "That's absurd! You can't expel me! We can't expel each other... can we?"
Literally one of my favorite scenes in any Starkid show… and that is REALLY saying something 😂👌🏼
You should post your reaction to 5x08

I agree with you on everything about how Riverdale ruined Barchie and the comics.
Edit! STARKIDS!!! ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️
look..... all i have to say is that jingle jangle started following me on insta and im scared. :D
I'm a starship fan 😏
YESSS!! I love Starship!!! I need to make more Starkid videos!
I stopped watching after season 3. It went downhill pretty fast in my opinion
It went downhill very very VERY fast, and that is a fact 👍🏼👏🏼
