I love that Cooper thinks Cheryl is the only character that acts normal, when really she says things like "Goon from Saskatoon" unironically and also kept her brother's corpse in her basement
It’s always super clear when someone who isn’t polyamorous writes a polyamorous storyline as a way out of having a character make a decision. And it’s absolutely hilarious.
yeah, like vicki christina barcelona - was a popular film in my poly community but the relationship there are messy af we need more wholesome representation!
I loved the polyam throuple in the end of sense8 as a solution to a love triangle though. It actually felt kind of natural and not just like the writers were avoiding Kala making a decision, but instead like it was def planned that way from the start.
@@idonotresidehere.5709 The difference is that Sense8 was made by queer women, and there were a lot of queer ppl in general involved with the creation of that show. Plus they had at least one other openly poly group in the show right from the beginning (Amanita's parents) so it felt way less like... sensationalized? if that makes sense? Like Riverdale wanted you to think of this poly thing as one of their ongoing "oh this show is so unhinged and weird" arcs, treating it like some sort of circus curio, where with Sense8 it was just a normal thing that people do when it makes sense for them.
Those memories of everything prior to this season are null and void. Then again, the gang was shown the memories of their past 21st century lives and was given the choice on whether or not each member wanted to know about 'em.
I used to get drunk and watch Riverdale and take a drink every time a character said something nobody would ever say in real life. Had to stop watching in season 3 because I was afraid I was going to give myself alcohol poisoning and Riverdale is not watchable sober
I kind of want Cooper to watch the whole show, just so he can experience my favourite underrated Riverdale line, which is when actual respected actor Skeet Ulrich has to deliver the line "you been dealin' jingle jangle, boy?!?" with the urgency of a serious crime drama.
Him saying that Cheryl (Macy) is rooted in reality is laughable. She was so sad about her twin brothers death she dug up his grave and hid his body in the basement, she has nearly killed herself every season, set her house on fire, joined a cult, started a cult, has tried to murder everyone at least once, was really an old ass cursed lady who could never die because she was too gay, oh and thought she was really a triplet but ate the third in the womb and was being haunted by him. This is not even all of it. Also, SO IM BLAMING COLE SPROUSE

Bro I've never watched Riverdale but I looked up why they're in the 1950's now and I'm even more confused "As of the show's final episode, yes, they are actually in the 1950s.

By choosing to keep them in 1955, she placed the characters in their original Archie Comics atmosphere."
1:22 Listen, it makes perfectly good sense: they went back in time to 1955 after cheryl got rid of the comet, using all their combined magic powers and everyone came back from the sweat hereafter, including a baby that wasn't even born in IRL (only in the sweet hereafter) and then they got stuck in 1955 when angel Tabitha untangled all the timelines, but she gave them back their memories, so they remembered both timelines. oh also, Rivervale exists in a bubble where a version of Jughead must write forever for Rivervale to continue to exist.

He also had a baby sister named Forsythia and if anyone spoke her name they’d have super bad luck for a day or somethin idk the comics were also kinda bonkers in their own right. Cheryl and her brother were also kinda super incest-y in the comics. Idk man.
Honestly. I loved the first two seasons. It was interesting and somewhat rooted in reality and then it’s like all of the writers started doing acid as they brainstormed plot lines.
same i actually enjoyed season 1 and even season 2 ! i was so excited to see how it progressed and then season 3 came out and i lost all interest. its now just a staple in our culture, or a stain depending on your view
As a poly person in a poly relationship, this is not how mine is, and not how most are. Imo, the poly couples that get together from borderline cheating don't usually go well. Like open and honest and real communication is one of the most important parts in a poly relationship working?
One of the many things that made me mad about this show was that in the original comic, Jughead was actually ace (and he was an absolute sweetheart) and they basically just erased all that for the sake of drama and oversexualizing teenage romance 😒
The thing with Riverdale is that you can just watch the seasons without watching the other ones because they completely forget about the entire plot every season.
20:35 "She seems like the only character who is based in reality." Me: *flashbacks to when she claimed that she was the queen of the bees and a witch and ran a cult*
I am polyamorous. This is awful representation indeed. 1) it would’ve been integral to poly representation to show all of the numerous ongoing convos they’re each having about boundaries and feelings and styles and whatnot 2) yeah they’re all cheating on each other, which is not the same as being polyamorous (cheating is NOT consensual between all parties involved, which is what they display throughout their show, but in polyamory, all parties are informed, aware, and consenting) 3) cheating and then pulling “they’re all in a squad”… Like it doesn’t match up for the viewers, clearly doesn’t align within their own universe, and also perpetuates a gross stereotype to the general public that’s already heavily believed. 4) then they throw in that gross toxicity of “i like you the best”- comparison is the killer of love and any healthy poly practicing person would display that. Hats off to you for the vid Coop, heavily appreciate being able to have your filter for this lol
There are. You can find them in a bar that they go to so frequently at the same time that there’s a drink waiting for them when they show up. The bartenders prepare themselves before they get there mentally- usually by fixing the smile on thier face and getting out the eye rolls that they want desperately to do the moment that they yell hello the moment they walk in the door. They always sit at the bar And they will tell anyone within arms distance the story of the “good ol’ days” and sort of act like they are part of the bar staff with new people. Will use any opportunity to relate whatever is being talked about to one of the three stories that they regurgitate on a loop. Call all staff by their first names loudly so everyone can hear how (in thier mind) that they are somehow special here and that holds some sort of clout. It’s sad, sometimes annoying, but they are mostly harmless.
Okay, starting Riverdale in season 7 is like asking to have a stroke. Nothing makes senses when you have seen the first 6 seasons, i can't imagine jumping into season 7 without context, or with context to be honest. This show has become a fever dream i don't think i could relive. Lol
As someone who has been in many polyamorous relationships, I’m gonna say no not entirely accurate but sometimes maybe 😂😂, also they 100% didn’t show the two men kiss because lesbians are “hot” and gay men are “gross”
I think it’s more because Archie and Jughead are childhood best friends, whereas in the show (it’s different in the comics), Betty and Veronica meet in high school, so they don’t have that sort of sisterly connection. Archie and Jughead are like brothers.
@@KitBarKat21 that doesn't sound right. Childhood friends, best friends and people who've been in the same class from 1st grade to senior high/ college date and have dated.
@@Zzz-ff1np Yeah, that’s a good point. It felt like they were all hooking up though, never really officially dating or in relationships with each other. Not during their poly phase, at least.
Ah yes, Riverdale, I've been watching from the beginning and it's been crazy. also, the show hasn't always been set in the 50s there was an asteroid and they got sent back in time so that they could change the future so they could survive in their future, but they didn't end up getting sent back to the present day cause jugheads girlfriend Tabitha (a time-traveling Angel. I'm not kidding) tangled the timelines into one. ik it's crazy, I kinda wouldn't have it any other way though.
I'm glad you did the fast-forwarding, it made it all the more tolerable. I watched the first season of "Riverdale", and actually liked it, a dark take on the "Archie" comics. But it's devolved ever since. Now, that's a bit presumptuous, as I eventually phased out my viewing of it by early season 4 because it had just become overly...something/everything. It seemed to take itself far too seriously, and the plot "twists" became eye-rolling bad. Also, by THEN, all of these "high school kids", who were close to age appropriate when it started, were obviously well into their 20s. Or beyond.
BRO WHEN JUGHEAD WAS TALKING AT THE BEGINNING (9:31) THEY FULL ON STOLE HIS AND BETTY’S LINES. THOSE ARE ALMOST WORD FOR WORD FROM A PLAY CALLED “OUR TOWN” Especially the B: why should it be painful? J: Because you won’t just be living that day, you’ll be seeing yourself live it LOWKEY LIVID ITS ALMOST WORD FOR WORD- EMILY (from the play) DOES NOT DESERVE THIS DISRESPECT It’s from the graveyard (act 3) when she’s ALREADY dead, not just about to die, and she being buried. It’s actually really emotional when acted well, all of the ghosts in the graveyard warn her not to go back because they know it will hurt her, but she goes back and relives her 12th birthday and has a monologue about appreciating life for everyday that you have, especially the small things that we as humans tend to overlook. I did this play last year that’s why I remember it so well lol ALSO 14:02 is from the play too!! This whole ep is definitely based on the play. I bet they didn’t think anyone would notice because it’s from 1913. Jokes on them, I’m a theater nerd with way to much time on my hands. That part in the play is because Emily didn’t realize how much time had passed even though it had only been like 10 years. She was about 22 when she died (she died in childbirth). But she actually does talk that way and ngl it makes more sense because it was literally written in the 1910’s. And the difference is she makes those exclamations to herself, not actually to her mom. Because she’s literally watching herself live it, she’s not just in her body and living through it. Wth Riverdale lol You probably wouldn’t have the context if you watched the other episodes, cuz it’s mostly based on the play 💀 BRUH this is so frustrating because it makes sense in the context of the play that she’s like “is this real or a dream?” Because she’s already been clearly established as dead BRUH 49:50 dude they even stole the ending - like I knew it was coming but it was still a disappointment 😒 Also it probably seems like nothing happened because they just copied act 3, none of the rest of the play. Actually, even so not that much happens in the play, because it’s pretty much just 3 days in Emily’s life, a random day when she’s about 16, her wedding and her funeral. But yeah, the play is all about finding the beauty in daily life lol
I get what you’re saying, but as someone who has never heard about this play, I think this reference is innocent especially if people (like me) learn about the old play thanks to the reference (this is not the first time Riverdale has referenced/paid tribute to other plays, so I think it’s safe to say the writers are all theater nerds, like yourself!) Also, I hate to nitpick, because like I said I know nothing about this play, but someone’s wedding day or funeral day is hardly “everyday” life, so that’s kind of a mixed message, isn’t it?
when cooper posts, it turns into the best day ever edit: as someone who (unfortunately) is addicted to Riverdale, seeing him so confused is so funny cuz it's the most bizarre show
Cooper, I'm a very recent subscriber who just binged all your videos the past 2 days. I love how you seem to never prewatch what you're reacting to because your reactions seem so much more genuine and fun compared to other commentary youtubers! And I also love how you tell us you love us, it's so sweet. Thanks for the great video ❤
I don’t know if it’s simply because I don’t like teenagers drama or because I grew up with the Archie comics, but everything about what I heard about Riverdale (because I never watched it) made me angry. They only used the Archie characters to get attention to their show and without needing to create original characters - even if they still technically did, because aside from their name and their physics, they are nothing alike to the comics. Also, the AroAce erasure is something that was pushed aside because people don’t feel like it’s important, but it is! So many aroace grew up being able to relate to Jughead and they threw it away and also made him dirty, going from the sarcastic likeable guy to whatever happened to him in the show. (Also, the change in genre feel, to me, similar to how they messed up with ‘Velma’. That’s not what the fan of the original work want to watch, so why make it inspired from it?)
Yeah same, I heard about all this controversy when jughead was first confirmed Allo I was so crushed then cuz we had so little rep and I remember people being excited for his rep only for the series to just not. Also legit they rebooted the whole universe to appear more accurate to the comics and had other sexuality rep and a rushed polyam relationship but still didn't bother to give that rep
I was a huge fan of the comics as well, and while it did end up being really wacky with like, crossovers with The Punisher and stuff, the original comic was mostly just slice-of-life stuff happening. There were odd little one-off adventures and situations (I remember in one comic Betty got a head injury and could temporarily read minds), but the storyline would mostly only last thru that one comic, and you could tell that it wasn't meant to be canon or anything. I feel like they tried to take the sometimes silly stuff and just run with it. And then they kept running and running and never stopped. I never watched the first season, but from what I can tell, even though it's obviously supposed to be darker than the comics, it seemed kind of rooted in reality but with a little mystery thrown in. I have no clue why they decided to go batshit insane with it. But one of the main writers used to write for Glee once *that* show started really going off the rails, so I can't say I'm that shocked. I seriously want to know if Riverdale is the result of the biggest coke binge in the writers room known to man, or if they were just that demented on their own. Honestly, if it's the latter, I respect it.💀
i have so many conflicting feelings about the quad thing.... like ive always loved the idea of solving a love triangle with polyamory but WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE RIVERDALE THAT DID IT
yes to the ghost hunting video. all of the yes. i could see you showing so much appreciation for places and their energies and i feel like you would so real and respectful. much needed for youtube.
Riverdale is very confusing if you havent seen the whole show, so the show actually begins more around 2020 ish then in season 6 they got sent back to 1950 because of a comet hitting them. they then live out the rest of their lives in the 1950s so then betty is old she is in the present even though it began with them in the present as teens
@@Fruity0418 Yes so cheryl did try to fix the comet with her phoenix powers but it did not work. and tabitha tried but couldn't fix everything so they are stuck in the 50's
The actress who plays Betty’s mom was on Twin Peaks and the main character in Twin Peaks is named Cooper so I need Cooper to watch and review the show.
Thank you Roberto for teaching a generation of future or aspiring writers that if nothing else, no matter what bad things befall your writing, no matter how many edits you have to do, no matter what self doubt you’ll come across over and over… rest assured that it could be worse. At least you had nothing to do with writing Riverdale.
this whole thing is actually referencing the play Our Town by Thornton Wilder!! the main character dies & this guy tells her she can pick one day to go back to but it will be sad to watch. she hugs her mom in the kitchen and is like "you're alive??" and it goes over every character in the show & what they went on to do and how they died. the show ends with the girl giving this big monologue where she says goodbye to all the things she misses that she didn't appreciate enough while she was alive
first 20 minutes in and i have fully deduced that cooper watches drag race. from the “read and serve attitude” bit to the entire bit about drag, and i’m LIVING for it as a drag race fan. yippee
riverdale was insane. i remember when archie goes to war and people on tumblr were trying to find out which war based on the uniform he had n everything 💀
I would gladly watch you react to every riverdale episode, I feel like it's the only way/reason I would be able to get through that show because it is too bad to watch alone. It really is the type of show to hate watch as a guilty pleasure with someone you can just 'movie-talk' to about it
This makes me want to go figure out wtf happened in this show lmao. I watched the first 2 seasons and they honestly weren't too bad (granted it was when I was in highschool)
I got as far as the season with the cult and underground bunker. I was waiting for the show to wrap up to see how they resolve all that, now i see they got wilder with a time-travelling angel arc and half-assed polyamory 😂 It's going to be fun going back to it
One thing I kept in mind while getting through all of Riverdale's not-so-great seasons, was the fact that I think they were just trying to portray the show in the same way they did the Archie Comics. It just failed to translate well. The comics themselves had all kinds of different spin offs, realities, misadventures and the issues varied greatly from one another. Just my opinion though, it very well may have been horrendous writing and nothing more lol
The speeding up yesss haha just made it more hilarious thank you and I’m so greatful you made this because now I could watch the ending with someone and your points are valid and that’s coming from a Die Hard Riverdale Fan they ruined the show and it was once spatacular. I don’t mind the pausing I’m like that with shows all the time I pause and pause and pause because I do have alot of opinions and I love it. Thank you for pausing. I also feel to anyone who hasn’t watched the show i advice watching up to season 3 then stopping. Watch until the black hood is revealed watch a bit after to see the aftermath of that then stop. That’s when the show really ended. So I say the day the Black Hood was revealed was the day the show truly ended x
I literally just started binge re-watching Riverdale S1 tonight after years (never got past S3) and now I see this from Cooper in the same day! Must be some Riverdale in the air😄
I love that Cooper thinks Cheryl is the only character that acts normal, when really she says things like "Goon from Saskatoon" unironically and also kept her brother's corpse in her basement
Don’t forget, she’s coo coo bananas for Toni
I only saw the first reason and a bit of season two. I'm still convinced she was in love with her brother
@@kittkat9139 I feel like they made her Sapphic cause after the whole polly Jason blood related reveal they were like "Okay maybe too much incest"
Those aren’t normal things…??
And like she wasn't a witch
It’s always super clear when someone who isn’t polyamorous writes a polyamorous storyline as a way out of having a character make a decision. And it’s absolutely hilarious.

One of the many things that made me mad about this show was that in the original comic, Jughead was actually ace (and he was an absolute sweetheart) and they basically just erased all that for the sake of drama and oversexualizing teenage romance 😒
The thing with Riverdale is that you can just watch the seasons without watching the other ones because they completely forget about the entire plot every season.
ok but the idea of Cooper wearing 6inch heels, screaming a remixed version of You’ll Be Back at the top of his lungs actually sounds dope🤣
yess why isn't anyone talking about it
20:35 "She seems like the only character who is based in reality."
Me: *flashbacks to when she claimed that she was the queen of the bees and a witch and ran a cult*
Idk man that seems pretty based in reality
she WHAT
@@ladyyyhokage oh don't mind it, just girly things 🥰🥰
I love how Cooper “loves” Cheryl even though she the most psycho one 😂😂😂
I am polyamorous. This is awful representation indeed. 1) it would’ve been integral to poly representation to show all of the numerous ongoing convos they’re each having about boundaries and feelings and styles and whatnot 2) yeah they’re all cheating on each other, which is not the same as being polyamorous (cheating is NOT consensual between all parties involved, which is what they display throughout their show, but in polyamory, all parties are informed, aware, and consenting) 3) cheating and then pulling “they’re all in a squad”… Like it doesn’t match up for the viewers, clearly doesn’t align within their own universe, and also perpetuates a gross stereotype to the general public that’s already heavily believed. 4) then they throw in that gross toxicity of “i like you the best”- comparison is the killer of love and any healthy poly practicing person would display that.
Hats off to you for the vid Coop, heavily appreciate being able to have your filter for this lol
Have you heard of that poly reality dating show on peacock 😅
there’s no way that there are actual people that loved high school this much
There are. You can find them in a bar that they go to so frequently at the same time that there’s a drink waiting for them when they show up. The bartenders prepare themselves before they get there mentally- usually by fixing the smile on thier face and getting out the eye rolls that they want desperately to do the moment that they yell hello the moment they walk in the door. They always sit at the bar And they will tell anyone within arms distance the story of the “good ol’ days” and sort of act like they are part of the bar staff with new people. Will use any opportunity to relate whatever is being talked about to one of the three stories that they regurgitate on a loop. Call all staff by their first names loudly so everyone can hear how (in thier mind) that they are somehow special here and that holds some sort of clout.
It’s sad, sometimes annoying, but they are mostly harmless.
@07SapphireLights these are fun to find while traveling because the stories are interesting if you only hear them once or twice.
@@louisdead6761 oh agreed. I am unfortunately employed by a few bars and hear them consistently hahaha.
I feel like just watching the series finale without any other context makes more coherent sense than if you were to watch the entirety of it😭
Okay, starting Riverdale in season 7 is like asking to have a stroke. Nothing makes senses when you have seen the first 6 seasons, i can't imagine jumping into season 7 without context, or with context to be honest. This show has become a fever dream i don't think i could relive. Lol
God EVERYTIME it cut back to cooper’s rendition of walking down the stairs I lost it. I pray this becomes and recurring bit bc it’s too good
As someone who has been in many polyamorous relationships, I’m gonna say no not entirely accurate but sometimes maybe 😂😂, also they 100% didn’t show the two men kiss because lesbians are “hot” and gay men are “gross”
I think it’s more because Archie and Jughead are childhood best friends, whereas in the show (it’s different in the comics), Betty and Veronica meet in high school, so they don’t have that sort of sisterly connection. Archie and Jughead are like brothers.
@@KitBarKat21 that doesn't sound right. Childhood friends, best friends and people who've been in the same class from 1st grade to senior high/ college date and have dated.
@@Zzz-ff1np Yeah, that’s a good point. It felt like they were all hooking up though, never really officially dating or in relationships with each other. Not during their poly phase, at least.
@@KitBarKat21i think its more just bad/lazy writing of polyamory + male actors being uncomfortable playing a gay character
Was literally gonna say that!
Ah yes, Riverdale, I've been watching from the beginning and it's been crazy.
also, the show hasn't always been set in the 50s there was an asteroid and they got sent back in time so that they could change the future so they could survive in their future, but they didn't end up getting sent back to the present day cause jugheads girlfriend Tabitha (a time-traveling Angel. I'm not kidding) tangled the timelines into one. ik it's crazy, I kinda wouldn't have it any other way though.
Oh my god. This is so bad 😭 thanks for clearing it up
This is such a crazy sentence to read 😭
As a die hard Supernatural fan that has never seen Riverdale, it sounds like a normal show! LoL Gotta love those CW shows.
I just got whiplash ten times WHAT
That’s insane
I'm glad you did the fast-forwarding, it made it all the more tolerable. I watched the first season of "Riverdale", and actually liked it, a dark take on the "Archie" comics. But it's devolved ever since. Now, that's a bit presumptuous, as I eventually phased out my viewing of it by early season 4 because it had just become overly...something/everything. It seemed to take itself far too seriously, and the plot "twists" became eye-rolling bad. Also, by THEN, all of these "high school kids", who were close to age appropriate when it started, were obviously well into their 20s. Or beyond.
I REALLY want Cooper to make a series of him reacting to each episode of Riverdale, I feel like it'd be SO funny
BRO WHEN JUGHEAD WAS TALKING AT THE BEGINNING (9:31) THEY FULL ON STOLE HIS AND BETTY’S LINES. THOSE ARE ALMOST WORD FOR WORD FROM A PLAY CALLED “OUR TOWN”
Especially the
B: why should it be painful?
J: Because you won’t just be living that day, you’ll be seeing yourself live it
LOWKEY LIVID ITS ALMOST WORD FOR WORD- EMILY (from the play) DOES NOT DESERVE THIS DISRESPECT
It’s from the graveyard (act 3) when she’s ALREADY dead, not just about to die, and she being buried. It’s actually really emotional when acted well, all of the ghosts in the graveyard warn her not to go back because they know it will hurt her, but she goes back and relives her 12th birthday and has a monologue about appreciating life for everyday that you have, especially the small things that we as humans tend to overlook. I did this play last year that’s why I remember it so well lol
ALSO
14:02 is from the play too!! This whole ep is definitely based on the play. I bet they didn’t think anyone would notice because it’s from 1913. Jokes on them, I’m a theater nerd with way to much time on my hands. That part in the play is because Emily didn’t realize how much time had passed even though it had only been like 10 years. She was about 22 when she died (she died in childbirth). But she actually does talk that way and ngl it makes more sense because it was literally written in the 1910’s. And the difference is she makes those exclamations to herself, not actually to her mom. Because she’s literally watching herself live it, she’s not just in her body and living through it. Wth Riverdale lol
You probably wouldn’t have the context if you watched the other episodes, cuz it’s mostly based on the play 💀
BRUH this is so frustrating because it makes sense in the context of the play that she’s like “is this real or a dream?” Because she’s already been clearly established as dead BRUH
49:50 dude they even stole the ending - like I knew it was coming but it was still a disappointment 😒
Also it probably seems like nothing happened because they just copied act 3, none of the rest of the play. Actually, even so not that much happens in the play, because it’s pretty much just 3 days in Emily’s life, a random day when she’s about 16, her wedding and her funeral. But yeah, the play is all about finding the beauty in daily life lol
best comment on this video
I was looking for this comment!! It just screams bad knock off Our Town ending 😭
Yeah everyone comparing it to Scrooge and I’m here like “wait, was that Our Town?”
I *knew* that was familiar from somewhere!!
I get what you’re saying, but as someone who has never heard about this play, I think this reference is innocent especially if people (like me) learn about the old play thanks to the reference (this is not the first time Riverdale has referenced/paid tribute to other plays, so I think it’s safe to say the writers are all theater nerds, like yourself!) Also, I hate to nitpick, because like I said I know nothing about this play, but someone’s wedding day or funeral day is hardly “everyday” life, so that’s kind of a mixed message, isn’t it?
when cooper posts, it turns into the best day ever
edit: as someone who (unfortunately) is addicted to Riverdale, seeing him so confused is so funny cuz it's the most bizarre show
yes
True
Thinking bout praying to this 🙏
@@And-ii6ym your a real one, I'm thinking about praying to you 🙏
@@tallyzeditzi choked about this comment XD
as a former Riverdale watcher I thoroughly enjoyed watching Cooper call Cheryl normal like she wasn't the craziest mf in the show :)
i absolutely love coopers enthusiasm about the hard work that drag queens put in
He absolutely needs to be in a ghost hunting video I think we would all watch that 😂
definitely lmao
He's already filmed it and said it will be uploaded for Halloween (or maybe early October, I can't remember)
Definitely, that would be awesome hahaha
In an alternative universe, Cooper would star in Riverdale 👀
Let’s be fr he’d be Jughead😂
A better one 😅
Cooper, I'm a very recent subscriber who just binged all your videos the past 2 days. I love how you seem to never prewatch what you're reacting to because your reactions seem so much more genuine and fun compared to other commentary youtubers! And I also love how you tell us you love us, it's so sweet. Thanks for the great video ❤
Welcome to the fam. We are all in love with him👍
I forgot I was already watching this on 1.25x, and still barely even noticed when you put Riverdale on 2x. That's how mind-numingly slow that show is.
I don’t know if it’s simply because I don’t like teenagers drama or because I grew up with the Archie comics, but everything about what I heard about Riverdale (because I never watched it) made me angry. They only used the Archie characters to get attention to their show and without needing to create original characters - even if they still technically did, because aside from their name and their physics, they are nothing alike to the comics. Also, the AroAce erasure is something that was pushed aside because people don’t feel like it’s important, but it is! So many aroace grew up being able to relate to Jughead and they threw it away and also made him dirty, going from the sarcastic likeable guy to whatever happened to him in the show.
(Also, the change in genre feel, to me, similar to how they messed up with ‘Velma’. That’s not what the fan of the original work want to watch, so why make it inspired from it?)
Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one
Yeah…I don’t know what the Riverdale directors were thinking when they made the show. I’m also super sad the AroAce representation was erased.
Yeah same, I heard about all this controversy when jughead was first confirmed Allo I was so crushed then cuz we had so little rep and I remember people being excited for his rep only for the series to just not. Also legit they rebooted the whole universe to appear more accurate to the comics and had other sexuality rep and a rushed polyam relationship but still didn't bother to give that rep
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS.
I was a huge fan of the comics as well, and while it did end up being really wacky with like, crossovers with The Punisher and stuff, the original comic was mostly just slice-of-life stuff happening. There were odd little one-off adventures and situations (I remember in one comic Betty got a head injury and could temporarily read minds), but the storyline would mostly only last thru that one comic, and you could tell that it wasn't meant to be canon or anything. I feel like they tried to take the sometimes silly stuff and just run with it. And then they kept running and running and never stopped. I never watched the first season, but from what I can tell, even though it's obviously supposed to be darker than the comics, it seemed kind of rooted in reality but with a little mystery thrown in. I have no clue why they decided to go batshit insane with it. But one of the main writers used to write for Glee once *that* show started really going off the rails, so I can't say I'm that shocked. I seriously want to know if Riverdale is the result of the biggest coke binge in the writers room known to man, or if they were just that demented on their own. Honestly, if it's the latter, I respect it.💀
i have so many conflicting feelings about the quad thing.... like ive always loved the idea of solving a love triangle with polyamory but WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE RIVERDALE THAT DID IT
yes to the ghost hunting video. all of the yes. i could see you showing so much appreciation for places and their energies and i feel like you would so real and respectful. much needed for youtube.
Riverdale was based on a comic from 1941. The last episode was the only one that actually takes place when the comic does
Riverdale is very confusing if you havent seen the whole show, so the show actually begins more around 2020 ish then in season 6 they got sent back to 1950 because of a comet hitting them. they then live out the rest of their lives in the 1950s so then betty is old she is in the present even though it began with them in the present as teens
@@choccy_bagel(he has no idea about the angel and the phenix powers that fixed everything ever)
I'm so sorry, A TIME TRAVELING FUCKING COMET????? HOW THS FUCK DOES THAT WORK???????? HOLY SHIT I NEED TO WATCH IT NOW.
Um. What?
@@Fruity0418 Yes so cheryl did try to fix the comet with her phoenix powers but it did not work. and tabitha tried but couldn't fix everything so they are stuck in the 50's
thanks this cleared up NOTHING
Cheryl’s literally crazy but she’s also the only character I like from this show
I love how cooper is so pleased by watching a show on 2x speed
4:11 he called me out on the posters of jimin EVERYWHERE 😭😭
Right like as soon as he said Jimin my brain stopped and i was like "HOW DOES HE KNOW"
He called me out as well😅 but it’s ture😂
You should go back and either watch only the first episode of every season or only the last. It’s wild how insane this show has been over the years.
he should watch the first and last episodes of every season and try to piece together everything that happened 💀💀💀
@@accaliaaaa23 I second this motion
i love how he admits to never seeing any other episode but also asks if all the things that are pay off are pay offs 😂
the show is apparently just THAT predictable 😂🤦♀️
The actress who plays Betty’s mom was on Twin Peaks and the main character in Twin Peaks is named Cooper so I need Cooper to watch and review the show.
You gentle parenting Gustaf was so damn wholesome
Thank you Roberto for teaching a generation of future or aspiring writers that if nothing else, no matter what bad things befall your writing, no matter how many edits you have to do, no matter what self doubt you’ll come across over and over… rest assured that it could be worse.
At least you had nothing to do with writing Riverdale.
We all have to agree that his fashion sense is so freaking awesome
Agreed
this whole thing is actually referencing the play Our Town by Thornton Wilder!! the main character dies & this guy tells her she can pick one day to go back to but it will be sad to watch. she hugs her mom in the kitchen and is like "you're alive??" and it goes over every character in the show & what they went on to do and how they died. the show ends with the girl giving this big monologue where she says goodbye to all the things she misses that she didn't appreciate enough while she was alive
first 20 minutes in and i have fully deduced that cooper watches drag race. from the “read and serve attitude” bit to the entire bit about drag, and i’m LIVING for it as a drag race fan. yippee
16:51 - GUSTAV SIGHTING
18:48 - MORE OF THE BOI
21:00 - Carrot boi
21:20 - Almost a carrot catastrophe
🤍🦴🤍
A carrot-tastrophe
i stopped watching this show years ago, no idea they kept going. thanks for the post cooper :]
NOT THE " :] "
It brought me a lot of unexpected joy to see someone using this
I could not make it through the first season lol
I watched it up to the fourth season before I decided it was too much
@@mariahlamb2983same! I love seeing ppl use these cute lil emoticons. ;3✨
same. I was like, Ooh! Murder mystery? Cool!
and never made it past the first two episodes °^°
this episode is giving 13 year-old writing a wattpad fanfic
I got your Margaret reference! This was amazing! Cooper is my spirit animal🤣
I love watching Cooper say everything that goes through his head. It really feels like we're going through this absurd journey with him lol
I love how Cooper just predicts everything that happens right before it does.
it's so easy with this type of show, it's just so predictable
i get and love the Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret reference and im so happy i got to hear cooper make that reference
I love the chaos that is cooper videos. The two times speed and the going down the stairs edit have me dying 😂
i love how cooper went from bashing the show to being a drag queen. he would make a grate drag queen👌
He absolutely would 😁
His drag name could be Betty Cooper 😂
@@markipliertrash1562you have commented 98 times on his channel
holy crap, not even a minute in and your hair is STUNNING 🫶
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
The fact that Cooper knows Andy made my day. I think I'm gonna eat my couch if they don't collab.
Cooper is such an amazing person with such a fun personality, he deserves the world.
riverdale was insane. i remember when archie goes to war and people on tumblr were trying to find out which war based on the uniform he had n everything 💀
He went to war?!!! I stopped watched when he went to prison 😭😭
I love this man’s chaotic energy so much
I would gladly watch you react to every riverdale episode, I feel like it's the only way/reason I would be able to get through that show because it is too bad to watch alone. It really is the type of show to hate watch as a guilty pleasure with someone you can just 'movie-talk' to about it
I LOVE THE HAMILTON REFERENCE, I NEED MORE COOPER HAMILTON VERSION CONTENT
A COOPER A DAY KEEPS THE SADNESS AWAY
SO TRUE
Ive been watching for a while now and its so fun to see cooper grow and see his Channel along with the fanbase i love being a weirdo
cooper doing/saying one absolutely unhinged thing and then latching onto it and sprinkling it throughout the video is my new favourite thing
6:45 love how he did actually end up making a ghost hunting video :D
Found another film cooper Bingerrrr. I love all his stuff so much I rewatch 10’s of times
This makes me want to go figure out wtf happened in this show lmao. I watched the first 2 seasons and they honestly weren't too bad (granted it was when I was in highschool)
Sameee! I remember a friend and I watching it every Wednesday for the first 2 seasons
I got as far as the season with the cult and underground bunker. I was waiting for the show to wrap up to see how they resolve all that, now i see they got wilder with a time-travelling angel arc and half-assed polyamory 😂 It's going to be fun going back to it
as someone who kept up w riverdale in the beginning and now can’t stop watching cus i am too invested i can tell this is gonna be painful
I have never watched Cooper ever before and I absolutely fell in love with his content
Awh, I love the way you are with Gustav - he's just a little guy and he loves you SO much 💕
One thing I kept in mind while getting through all of Riverdale's not-so-great seasons, was the fact that I think they were just trying to portray the show in the same way they did the Archie Comics. It just failed to translate well. The comics themselves had all kinds of different spin offs, realities, misadventures and the issues varied greatly from one another. Just my opinion though, it very well may have been horrendous writing and nothing more lol
I love watching Cooper when I need to turn my brain off because he basically just says everything I think!
The cackling walk/run. i can’t take that omfg 💀💀💀💀💀 you are a gem of a creator
HE GETS IT!!!!! “It’s so badly made but I love it” it’s like a modern teenager murder soap drama, like it’s awful but I can’t stop watchinggggg
something about you confidently getting all the names wrong is so iconic 😂
You really have to follow through with the ghost hunting video now because that made me so happy
Of course they went for the “massive exposition dump for every character” series finale route
This is exactly what I needed today. Cooper making the same joke about Cole Sprouse in many of his videos is very funny
The speeding up yesss haha just made it more hilarious thank you and I’m so greatful you made this because now I could watch the ending with someone and your points are valid and that’s coming from a Die Hard Riverdale Fan they ruined the show and it was once spatacular. I don’t mind the pausing I’m like that with shows all the time I pause and pause and pause because I do have alot of opinions and I love it. Thank you for pausing. I also feel to anyone who hasn’t watched the show i advice watching up to season 3 then stopping. Watch until the black hood is revealed watch a bit after to see the aftermath of that then stop. That’s when the show really ended. So I say the day the Black Hood was revealed was the day the show truly ended x
make a ghost haunting vid w sam and colby. that would be a blast frfr
I love watching Cooper because it feels like I’m on my friends snapchat story while they have an unhinged rant
I literally just started binge re-watching Riverdale S1 tonight after years (never got past S3) and now I see this from Cooper in the same day! Must be some Riverdale in the air😄
