THIS WAS A COMMENT BEFORE!!! I just thought that this is so insane, I HAD to share my realization with y'all

At the start of season 5 I was like "this girl has been THROUGH it! I'm sure they'll just leave her alone now"

Bffr, all her plotlines were based on pure INSANITY

But NOOO they had to do her dirty again and actually KILL HER OFF in the most gruesome of ways.

Like give this bitch a break

Season 1, she got pregnant at 16 BY HER COUSIN whom she was in love with. Did I also mention he was murdered by his own father? Anyways. Not only that, but her own parents locked her up in an illegal asylum, where she had no idea that "the love of her life"/ LITERAL COUSIN was murdered.

Then, in season 2 it turns out that her father is a serial killer (aka has been living with a psychopath for over 16 years). Her older brother shows up, and it's then proven that he is infact NOT her brother but the person who "killed" her actual brother

In season 3 she is manipulated and brainwashed by a CULT that is not only a cult, but also an underground system of human and organ trafficking. The brainwashing leads to her practically hating her own sister and dragging her mother who's also a secret FBI agent down with her. If this isn't bad, tell me what is!

And ofc that's NOT ALL, cause in season 4 her ACTUAL brother shows up, and on top of all the gathered up trauma she has experienced over the last few years, guess WHAT? Her actual brother, Charles is ALSO a serial killer, and is infact DATING her fake brother whom she thought was killed by her father (again, SERIAL KILLER) in season 2.

And then. The final blow

Now being a single mother, and a young adult who still lives with her mother in a town that has no future whatsoever, she starts working as a prostitute in what I can only describe as the most creepy highway in the history of television. She is then BRUTALLY murdered, leaving her 7 year old twins and products of accidental incest completely orphaned, and under the care of her mother, Alice, who is also high-key mentally unstable!! Alice is not only equally traumatized, but has also lost 2 kids.

Like the nightmares of this poor girl are endless!!

I'm not a supporter of suicide, of course, but if I were Polly, I'd be gone WAY earlier.

You can't convince me that she isn't the most tragic character in the entirety of Riverdale

BTW thanks for reading all of this.

People like Kevin and Alice pmo. It’s like every season they are getting manipulated and when someone says something to them about it they are like, nuh uh evil doer. Like brother CMON idk steel ur mind or something. And Kevin specifically pisses me off because he CONSTANTLY puts his friends lives in danger and then is just like, “sorry guys I’m weak minded 🤷🏽” so stupid dude.

Like if you actually sit there and think about it, it’s crazy. she quite literally goes through many of the same things as Laura. They both have horrible fathers. They both are inc3st victims. They’re both prostitues. They’re both killed on the job. Polly’s “bob” was the moth men/the starkweather family. They’re both doomed from the start. Neither can be saved because it was literally their destiny to die. And then they both comeback to life in a supernatural way.

I’ll give Roberto his flowers. He did a good job at paying homage to Twin Peaks. She’s such a minor character, but I truly think Polly is the most thought out and developed character in a way. Everyone always hated her but I was able to see the art in it. I’m glad in the second timeline they drop this and let her live a happy life, she deserved it.

I feel like Riverdale really is like Twin Peaks baby sibling. You can’t watch it expecting a coherent storyline. You just have to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Small post but honestly?

Wtf

I am just cringing out SO SO SO MUCH

Do you think any of the big 4 will ever do Broadway in New York ?

should i finish it or rewatch the entire thing? the last episode i got up to was in memoriam.
i remember most of the episode and plot
lines though.

i personally think its choni, since im a lesbian myself, i identify a lot with them, but i also like barchie ngl ​

The show starts off strong. Season 1 and 2 are very good imo. Then season 3-5 are horrible. Almost unbearable. But season 6 and 7 might actually be my favorite of the series.

I almost wish they started the multiple universe thing starting with season 3.

If I had the chance to rewrite it

S1/2 would work well as one single timeline. A modern day story

S3 could’ve been a 70s era one since Cults were super big back then. Also supernatural existing in this timeline would make everything make more sense. Especially the gargoyle stuff

S4 could’ve been the 80s. Midnight club vibes

S5 could’ve been a full on horror—maybe a 90s vampire Veronica arc

S6/7 I wouldn’t change a thing.

i'm watching the show for the first time & i'm so confused aboutt s4 😭 like i know jughead is faking his own death, but do his friends know abt it or not? does fp jones know? i'm so confused

I stopped watching back when I was in middle school (around Archie going to prison plot) and I am now at the PTSD dog and coyote ugly parts. We JUST got out of the farm cult and now there’s a blossom cult?! I know Cheryl has been stuck in her grief and mental issues but like cmon. I’m glad at least Kevin could say no this time (granted he’s no longer a wayward child).

Edit: I’ve made it to S6 E1… ok I’m into it. Wiccan Cheryl is speaking to my heart 😂

So I been bingeing in for a bit now, granted there have been a few times where I haven’t actually being paying attention but why has it suddenly turned into a musical 😭

I was a huge fan of Archie’s Weird Mystery’s and I love that they made the two characters live action adaptations of that version. I also like that they got more prevelant roles, like they did in the cartoon.

My girlfriend is a massive fan of the show, and i want to get her a life sized card-board cutout of Jughead for her birthday. Seeing as ordering one can cost $70-$100, my broke ass is going to print it out a section at a time and make it myself. This image would be perfect, and it seems to be the one most cardboard cutouts you can buy can use, but all of the versions I can find of it online are too low-definition to print.

Does anyone know where I can find a high-def version of this image, or a similar full-body image of Jughead?

There are many things that I like about this show but there are also things I really don’t like. I recently finally watched S7 then watched a recap on the entire show. There are soooo many things I forgot. I really have mixed feelings towards the show

The main duo and eventual couple of Masters of the Universe was literally almost just Varchie between Galitzine and Camila lol

Why did Veronica survive the death of the firstborns? She is the oldest and only child of Hermione so she is a first born. Since the curse is biblically and Percival is an ass maybe it only looks on the fathers side and Hiram had Hermiosa with another woman and is Veronicas half sister and a first born; fine.

But why did Jughead die?! Just like Veronica he is his mothers first born but the second child of his dad. The writers clearly remebered Charles exists because Betty mentioned him. Veronica and Jughead are not firstborns on their fathers site but Jug dies and Veronica is still around?!

Yes Kevin survived but that was established as Percival being petty

Idk maybe i just really don't like Veronica and wanted her dead at least for one episode but hey its riverdale. At this point i wouldn't be suprised if Charles survived the plague because only people in the room where affected (Jug because Percival doesn't like him and Nana Rose cause she was the start are the exeptions)

TLDR: If Jug is a firstborn then so is Veronica and she should have died

I think my favorite reference that Riverdale has made is in season 3 in the first episode when Alice and Polly confront Betty about her faking medication refills and therapy appointments but the doctors name is Doctor Glass and I want to believe that its a reference to the Brady Bunch. I may be crazy but I just think thats really neat if they were inspired by that.

Please comment your favorite niche reference!

Is Jugheads jacket just really old or does it just look wrinkled?

Personally I think it’s Lili Reinhart, she really becomes Betty and perfectly shows the drastic changes Betty goes through in each season beautifully

Her emotion is so genuine and I just can’t get over how believable her acting is. She also portrays a teenager so well compared to lots of other adults.

Thought for sure it would be Camila !!

It’s been awhile since I watched any riverdale and I personally wasn’t a fan of S6 which is partly what took me so long to even watch S7. S7 isn’t bad, this Dr werthers is irritating and obviously the main person making everyone’s life harder
