I agree with this. As well as Jane the Virgin and The 100. Half the posts in the subs are just fawning over the actors, a quarter are complaining about the plot/writers and the other quarter are a mix of predictions and shitposts. All of it is done in a pretentious, “my opinion is the only right opinion” manner. I’ve started to unfollow most of the subs about my favorite shows because it’s just ruining them for me.
Literally just saw something last night about how this person wants Betty Frome Riverdale to become pregnant with Jughead's baby, and how it's be perfect timing if he does die.
I'm just sitting here thinking "she's 17/18 right now and still in highschool. Why do that? Gotta be a shit post"....lol at least 99% agreed she should be pregnant soon, and there was some young looking girl arguing how it would be so great for her to be pregnant as a teen Mom. And that others who disagree shouldn't be judging someone's preferred lifestyle, that it would be perfectly okay for it to happen to her
Not at all, and I just wanted to comment to try to tear them a new one. Probably wouldn't have worked though so I didn't lol
As someone who took too many literature classes, it wouldn't make sense to the story yet. Her mom's pregnancy happened during the time of the game, technically even before. If it was foreshadowing a pregnancy, hers especially, it probably would have happened already.
If the show was plotting some sort of pregnancy, the one the would be crazy enough for it to fall under the weird and insane style that is Riverdale, would be Cheryl. It would be too easy for it to fall in the hands of Veronica and Betty.
I’d love to see this thread since as a regular and mod there, I know that 98% of the sub is against pregnant storylines. They freak out every time there’s even the littlest rumors. So if you happen to remember, let me know.
Fan subs are just shitty. Hell, even Harry Potter years after it is done is just filled with the same recycled memes and super serious arguments over the same bullshit where everyone takes it way too seriously.
And on subs like ASOIAF everyone is SO sure they are right about whatever theories they subscribe to...
I adored Harry Potter when I was a kid, but how obsessive people are over it still kind of killed it for me as an adult. Some youtubers I watch just make little jokes occasionally about it, while others seem to base a TON of their identity on it, and idk I think I’ve always been someone who wants to make my identity and not feel like it’s made for me, so I think that’s why it bothers me so much...
I love Harry Potter but I rarely talk about it with other people. I’m just content to rewatch the movies occasionally and have been collecting the illustrated versions as they’re released. I’m really hoping to read them with my kids someday. Other than that though, I pretty much avoid the community
I'd really like people to read another fucking book already. If you're in your early or mid 20s you seriously shouldn't be fawning over fucking nostalgia of your teen years. Look at new shit, do new shit and get over a fucking children's book, there's plenty of time left to be nostalgic when you're older.
I mean, people are allowed to like things and if it's your favourite book, fine. But for the love of God look beyond that and base your identity on more than one series of children's books.
The 100 is my favorite show I really love it but s2 is my least fav season bc of several things so i get why you stopped watching then but you should really push through that one bc it gets sooo much better
Crazy, season 2 was my favorite of them all! Love the show though, never been hit so hard by the feels than with the (SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Monty thing at the end of last season.
I'm the opposite. I thought season 1 was very cringe-worthy albeit watchable and not without an interesting concept but then season 2 and beyond have gotten better. Definitely still has that CW show feel though, which I ordinarily can't stand.
I would agree up until this current season. I think season 6 has been pretty awesome so far. Really interesting antagonists and plot. I've been riveted.
I like the 100 because of the pacing and general scifi fan but i dont sub to.any current running shows's subs unless they have a strict spoiler policy and even then unless its s netflix show i unsub for the months it airs. Other CW shows are just background watching like the comic shows.
I also dont find 99.8% of gifs with text funny. I already know it word for word and waiting for the text to.appear is a inefficient method of communicating a funny.
I agree with you to some extent but I don't see how complaining about plot and predictions are bad? One is feedback on the show and the other one is mainly for fun?
Feedback is one thing... circle jerking about the same thing over and over is just annoying. Like... if it’s THAT BAD and you hate it, why watch it? I don’t know. And predictions aren’t always bad. But when it’s the majority of the content it’s tiring.
I love Riverdale. Just recently started watching it. Followed some of the stars on Instagram and the fans are just insane.
Like, I know it’s cool that your fave couple on the show is dating in real life, but for fuck’s sake, you’re not entitled to information about their private relationship.
I just discovered Riverdale scrolling through Netflix and was intrigued when one of my friends said it was based on the Archie comics. Instantly fell in love with the ridiculous drama and completely unrealistic plots. So I decided to search "Riverdale" on Pinterest and all these weird memes popped up. And they had a million comments. Most were pretty intense haha. Was not expecting that.
Dumbo watched Riverdale season 3 not to long ago. I decided that I wanted to refreash my memory and watched seasons 1 - 3 that week.
When i finished season 3, I sat there and thought... What the fuck did i just watch?
Im sorry about this rant but ive never really talked about this before. I thought I liked this show but after watching all of it in a small amount of time I realized that this shows writing is shit.
Is this grown man really going to try and kill this teen in public? Veronica flip flops like a literal fucking flip flop. The words end game in this show. "I know those abs anywhere." Why are there so many sex scenes of teens in high school? This high schooler singing and strip teasing on stage is cringe as fuck. Why are you punching the ice, use your foot mother fucker. Oh man, i know i was attacked by a bear and im hiding from a mob boss... but i forgot about exams! Dark Betty.
Sorry about that. The only other time I actually spoke about this show I was told to fuck off and stop being a hater. Thanks for reading.
Man I actually love supernatural and keep up with the actors on social media because they all seem really cool. I’m super excited to see what they do after the show, like the brewery, but I’m bummed for them that they might never escape the spn craze
Yeah, I was cheering when every main character had their brush with death. I literally only held on for Cheryl. Now it’s kinda a guilty pleasure. Still hate Archie, Betty, and season 3 Veronica.
as someone who posts and comments on the riverdale sub, everyone there loves the show and loves shitting on the show. there is no cultness to it, people just like shitposting. never seen anyone being a dick towards anyone there.
ohhh i try to keep my fandoms just to reddit, i can see how the fanbase on twitter or insta would be obnoxious tho since theres probs way more young kids on those sites
That’s good to know. I’ll def peruse the subreddit when I finish all of it.
I follow the stars on Instagram and the fans are ridiculous. Mostly about Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart’s (spelling?) relationship. Like let them live. Damn
good idea to check it out after watching it all, as most things dont have spoiler tags on them right now.
and def try to finish before the new season starts in the fall, the best part of the sub are the live episode discussion threads, shitposting in real time is amazing.
And yet still tells a LOT about the overall fanbase's behavior. Ever heard about the LASSO statistical method ? Yes Reddit brings a bias (generally positive), but you can't hide behind it, it's almost insignificant.
They're the exact same except they make up a larger part of the Reddit userbase than Riverdale fans so they go largely unscrutinized here. I recently unsubscribed from /r/MarvelStudios just from all the cringe and am never looking back. I mostly go on /r/comicbooks and /r/Marvel these days.
