💥 wtplay.link/alexmeyers - Download War Thunder for FREE and get your bonus Also sorry, I totally forgot to add the part at the end with my random thoughts about the season. So, to be honest, I actually thought what they did in season 6 was overall a good thing. I mean, yeah it was literally the most insane season of any TV show maybe ever, but I liked how they just embraced the insanity that they've always skirted around up to now. Instead of trying to explain everything with “practical” reasons, they were just like “yeah magic is real, Tabitha is an angel sure why not”. I think that's what they should have done from the beginning. Because they always alluded to it, but never committed until it was too late and everyone stopped watching the show. I also think going back to a very simple 1950s setting for the final season could be good. That is, of course, if they actually stick to it and it's not one of those things where the first 2 episodes are them in the 50s and then OH MY GOODNESS WE ARE BACK IN MODERN TIME LOL SIKE! Like they always do. Anyway, thanks for watching! I have some big things planned for my season 7 videos so... please be excited

[@wavy_soup]

Yeah, what you said could be applied to all of the other seasons, but season 6 was weirdly coherent The magic and the other elements used aren't just thrown at us and we're supposed to accept it, it made sense and (unlike some other shows) they used timetravel and other dimensions in a very interesting and coherent way Even the writing was weirdly good, it doesn't even look like the same show to be honest. How it makes you think like the town has changed it's name and the "everything changed" thing is just to show that all of the caracthers are different now but then suddenly Rivervale was actually a parallel universe to Riverdale and they must fix it, that was a really nice way of playing with your audience Season 6 also fixed another big issue, they're not teens now FINALLY, so it makes sense that they can do all of they're doing, Betty is from teh FBI, Veronica now has age to open a business and all of that And even if they're supposedly teens again next season, I guess the plot would be for them to go back to the future and not the "teens solving murder" thing from the past seasons Of course I'm saying all of this guessing you watched the season, if not I would reccomend you to, just skip all of the others or se a review of them on youtube (you won't miss much)

The entire season feels like they made AI watch the previous seasons and then asked it to try to top the already absurd writing. It makes no sense at all. How did multiple adult humans read the finalized script and think: "yup this is it! No notes. A+ writing. Let's start filming!"

[@snoopygonewilder]

I haven't actually watched Riverdale since about a half-way through season 2, which is when it became too much for me, since then I've only watched it through Alex Meyers's videos, and if these are too insane for me, I can't imagine what the actual show would be like. P.S.: I actually liked season 1, I thought it was good, and then it just exploded into a mountain of nonsensical, and apeshit-crazy stuff I never thought was possible in one single show.

I remember how in the beginning of this season (or season 5, it all blurs together for me) it was nice to have the time jump to see them become adults but then it's like they forgot about it. Betty and TBKs story line, it seemed like it was thrown in every so often to make it seem like they hadn't forgotten about it but in the end I don't even remember who it was or how she killed him. That was the whole big start to them becoming adults. That's all the trailer showed for the season. I feel like they took the superpower thing and ran way to far with it when they could have done something so much better with them being out of school. Also what happen to all of them working at the school again. It's like that was forgotten too

12:35 - The Riverdale residents not being able to leave town and no one outside of Riverdale knowing anything about the bullshit that has been going on is literally the mid-season 3 finale of Once Upon a Time, except on that show, there was a least a consistent progression to get to that point 😂

[@despicablepenguin]

I tbh, think that they're stealing every plot point from other shows or at the very least throwing every popular genre they can fine. You could compare the larping board game thing to Stranger Things (although I don't remember that season that much so), the superhero stuff to Marvel which is pretty popular and honestly superheroes as a genre alone is pretty popular and the multiverse and then there's the time travel. Angels and demons kind of could come from Supernatural and now we've gone back in time and historical fiction shows are also very popular nowadays (i.e. The Queen's Gambit). I wouldn't be surprised if we went to regency era at some point. Although Riverdale show is ending and that might be too much for their budget (idk what the props or set looks like because I only watch the show from Alex's videos)

[@krushamae]

The thing is, Riverdale has gone crazy but I think if it included magic and powers at the start it would’ve been better. For seasons on end they excluded those mysteries for so long (like for instance the Gargoyle king just being Cheryls mom) etc, like if they did magic and stuff from the beginning (which could’ve happened since Riverdale is next to Greendale) it would’ve been a way better show. Tbh I didn’t mind this season, I kind of liked it because it accepted weird possibilities, but I wish the entire show would’ve been like this

[@MarieTheOstrich]

i actually agree. they surrendered to the magic aspect and its more tolerable now

[@notoriouslysky]

Yeah I agree

[@giada951]

I actually think there was already a subtle supernatural stuff in season 3. I am not talking about the gargoyle king but how the game kind of influenced the real events, especially in the episode where the characters had to free Archie from the prison while Jughead wrote a completely different "mission" for the game that went hand in hand with the real events the moment he started playing and narrating.

[@jits8767]

yeah somehow the balance was better this season, but now that it is all coming to an end, it dont mind the progression from the first season to now. it's better to keep being crazier in the concepts, than to start out crazy and having to top that all the time, which is still something the show tended to struggled with. i agree though, that the first season had such a satisfying finale, that it was quite frustrating that all the other seasons were so anticlimactic. it was so nice to see this season actually lead up to a climax instead of being like 'uh well actually, it was just the plot of jugheads new novel/comic that he wrote while high on a mushroom burger huhu' or something. i've been watching from season 1 as the episodes came out, and the reason i keep coming back is to see what bs they are doing this week, and if it had been on this level the entire time, it wouldnt give me that same source of guilty pleasure type entertainment. i dont think anyone could ever binge it front to back without pulling their eyes out after the show is done, but as it came out, it's been great.
