I am feeling so incredibly disheartened with #Riverdale at the moment.. it has gone from being my favourite show and something that I use to look forward to watching each week to something that just makes me feel sad and incredibly nostalgic. Also, I know fictional characters are suppose to change, develop, etc but.. I just miss #Bughead so darn freaking much…
Betty and Jughead getting together and their friendship dynamic with Archie/Veronica/Jughead/Betty was the reason why I loved watching the show in the first place…
Additionally, unlike the comic books where two women constantly chasing after a ‘perfect’ red haired stallion who craves female attention; I really liked that Roberto took a different approach. In seasons 1-4 Betty got her own story and actually HAD her own identity outside of Archie Andrews.
Betty didn’t get the ‘love’ she had always fantasised about while growing up, but she did find something greater: the love she actually needed in an unlikely place. Also, Jughead Jones did not hold Betty up to unrealistic standards and he loved Betty for exactly who she was. She never had to pretend or censor herself with Jughead. Ever.
Anyway, sad rant over.
