#Archie vs. Predator

[doctorcurdlejr]

ultimately nobody is allowed to escape Riverdale, and every act to escape the town will result in retaliation from the town itself. It doesn't exist without its characters and it needs them to play out their stories, over and over and over again. Once the characters have been utterly broken by the town's inescapable nature all that can be done is wipe them clean and start a new series of echoes. They are doomed to an eternity of teenage angst that began with and is defined by the first time each character hit the page of the comics. The only way to escape is a self-awareness of narrative and a willingness to sacrifice a part of the self to the town so that it can be sustained in absence. But existing outside of the narrative also means a kind of death for a self-aware character, so even when they began to escape the town Jughead refuses to let the story end until the town can take control and wipe them clean again. So no, they can't leave the 50s, not really, because they were always there in the first place.

Navigating into tumblr deepths guess who discovered a Riverdale and Predator crossover. This can't be serious- is so funny to think "Hey you know the super cliché musical series that people said was sooooo deepth, serious, and you hadn't seen due those stereotypes because you know, Netflix? Weel it's a comic series and has a crossover with the deadly lizards" LIKE¿¿??

Yeah still very deadly... (Everybody forgot how to look up even if they are being bathed in blood)

And then they are sharing a strawberry flavored smoothie stuff whatever, i'm just- perplexed.

OH THIS CAN'T BE SERIOUS HAHBHSD

riverdale finale HUGE win for archiecomic scholars presumably huge loss for riverdale fans I don't know. I don't care

#when you stop trying to understand CW riverdale as a tv show with plots and characters. and you start understanding it as #a vehicle for a 7 season metatextual struggle between cw riverdale and the archie comics ip. #that's when you'll come to know peace #first they tried to be a normal bad show but devolved into cartoonish antics #which is one thing but then the timeskip hit which is like ohhhhh no thats not something that you can successfully do with archie character #so the shows ostensible realism started falling apart worse and worse with superpowers and sabrina and rivervale until a WIZARD summoned a #COMET to literally destroy this version of the town because archie cant be about adults with marriages and children lmfao get good #and it reset the town to the 1950s. FOREVER. she cant send you back to 2023! #btw life with archie isnt a counterexample it supports my point they tried to age up the characters in the comics and it almost destroyed t #e multiverse and archie fucking died at the end #anyways the finale episode is everything. the characters grow up and die offscreen because thats not what archiecomics is about! #archies non betty non veronica wife doesnt even get a name shes a 1 sentence concept #none of that matters all that matters is they all died and went to purgatory and purgatory was an idyllic 17 year old high school life that #never ends #get it because. theyre not characters theyre concepts. tied to archie comics. and archie comics is purgatory that these concepts cant escap #to understand riverdales finale you have to read archie vs predator 2 okay? okay. #CW riverdale fans read archie vs predator 2. understand archie vs predator 2. then we'll talk #nothing thats ever happened in any archie property is canon but also all of it is its literally fine #except archie and reggie having sex this season. thats canon #post

i have big points to make about kevin as fictional concept especially as he appeared in that episode and how it was made clear what a large part of riverdalean narrative theory he constitutes (he was the writer!!!!!!!!!!). and i will make them. But Not Yet

#these points are gonna make so much sense when i make them #can gay be american yes if its careful. archies weird fantasy. musical theatre. high school. this pale pink world of milkshakes and first #kisses. fairytales never truly have a happy ending. jughead. archie vs predator

I’ve never seen Riverdale...

But from what I’ve heard, it’s pretty wild. So I don’t know if this would interest any fans of the show or not, but in the comics, there’s an alternate universe where Betty and Veronica end up living as a cute queer couple in New York City and it’s adorable.

Also, their boyfriend is the Predator? I dunno. Comics!
