    Hello Friends.
    Well it’s another weird video. You might notice I like to make these a lot, I don’t really enjoy sticking to one specific area, as much as I do just talk about whatever interests me at the time, and the reason im able to do that is cause I don’t need to worry about youtube algorithm nonsense (or copyright, this video was hit with three different content ids before it even went live) and thats thanks to the support I get from my patrons.
    So if you want to help ensure I can just.. I guess keep this channel weird, you can do so here:
    www.patreon.com/Supereyepatchwolf
    Also if Patreon isn’t your thing, I also have a Ko Fi now: ko-fi.com/supereyepatchwolf#achievementUnlockedModal
    But hey. Either way, really appreciate you watching the video and just following me in general, have a good one.

    This will get ignored as it's 1 year too late, but my friend worked on this set as background and a wrangler of background extras, and he said the entire acting crew (who he met, talked to and hungout with between takes) hated working on this show. They would continually go to overtime hours because the writes (based out of LA) would send the revised scripts at 4pm with new lines and new plot points that the actors would have to memorize and then perform. Many long hours, frustrating moments and just general shit treatment of the crew.
    Vancouver produces almost every CW show and they are notorious in the film industry for being the absolute worst. CW writers and execs simply are bad at their jobs and in a field that operates tens or even hundreds of crew members daily (makeup, set design, costume design, extras, film crew, lighting crew, directors, script sueprvisor and the actors and director), paying even one day of overtime accounts for thousands or tens of thousands of extra pay. So the crew were compensated, but fuck, they really were treated like shit.
    Just look up any interview with the cast and crew regarding the show and you can see their dislike for the show, but they're young actors working on a popular show and getting paid well so why quit? It just sucks for all involved that the CW cannot seem to make good shows or even treat their crew well.

    I once read a fanfiction that was written by a group of writers, where each writer would read the section immediately before theirs and write their own section based only on that. Despite it being a relatively short, one-chapter fanfiction, it still managed to lose the entire basis of the plot halfway through, and was constantly dropping plot threads and creating new ones, resulting in an extremely confusing (if well-written, no shade to the authors) mess of a story. A character who was freezing to death at one point had a stomach wound instead a few paragraphs later, and a character who was initially missing (the injured character was searching for him) suddenly showed up to the rescue with no explanation or fanfare. I have to imagine that the writing process for Riverdale is somewhat similar to that fanfiction

My roommate said that he'd get a script, and by the day of the shooting it was completely changed. They'd change things day-of, rushed to write or edit things, and almost everyone behind the scenes were confused and thought it was stupid lol.

It was originally supposed to be the 4 of them, but Cole Sprouse didn't want to do it bc it was cold or something so it was just the 3 of them. So basically they had to write a whole season plot around the fact that Cole didn't want to stand outside in the cold.

Because even with shows like Twin Peaks where absurdity is integral to the story, it stays focused. It starts something and it pays it off in the way that even if it's absurd, it makes sense because you saw what led to the end point. Riverdale writers from time and time again are revealed even by the actors that they just put shit in the show just for shock value, but they barely follow through with most of it.

    Fun fact: the scene were they tease Junkhead "death" was total improvisation because Junkhead's actor didn't want to film the scene because it was too cold to be Half Naked at night in the middle of nowhere.

      Wow, that's totally a great way to make a writing decision... Seriosuly though mistakes/playing by ear/ can lead to great things like how in Eragon the writer messed up his own fake language. Then when his sister pointed it out rather than ignore it he made it so the main character messed up the language and cursed someone. The cursed person ended up being one of the most interesting characters. But if there's one thing writers of Riverdale have show is that they have no idea what they're doing. And I'll acknowledge that committing to a mistake is a bit different than radically changing the direction of the next season because an actor was cold.

Riverdale had that same thing, just felt like the writers came up with random chaos episode to episode after a while. It was never a great show but it fully turned into a fever dream of nonsense. It worked for PLL, the show is garbage but I loved it, Riverdale was a little too much for me, nut I kinda agree, it's almost so bad and insane that it's good.

    I wrote a proper bonkers ending for Season 4. Why? Why _not?_
    The spooky prep school kids are chasing Archie and Veronica after murdering Jughead when the cartoon-mask Archie and Veronica from the murder-VHS tapes show up, and the prep kids are distracted fighting them. The murder-cartoon people fight and kill the prep school kids... then take their masks off to reveal that they _are_ Archie and Veronica. But OH NO they're actually _evil_ Archie and Veronica from an _evil_ universe where they and Veronica _did_ murder and eat Jughead! And now they're traveling dimensions to murder and eat _all_ the Jugheads ever, _and_ cannibalize their alternate-universe selves, and Betty runs into _her_ alternate-universe-cannibal self too! But TWIST alternate!Betty is from a _different_ universe, and she already killed murder-cannibal Betty, and she teams up with Normal Betty to save Archie and Veronica! And the leader of the spooky prep school kids is _her_ universe's Jughead, and they're actually a secret organization dedicated to stopping the interdimensional cannibals, and _this_ Betty and Jughead are in love! So the normal-universe Archie, Veronica, and Betty team up with alternate Betty and Jughead to stop the murder-cannibals, but OH NO alternate-Betty betrays them, because she was _actually_ murder-cannibal Betty this whole time, and _she_ killed the _good_ version of herself and lied about it! BUT EXTRA TWIST normal Jughead has been working with his alternate self THIS WHOLE TIME and was only _pretending_ to be dead, and the bit where the prep school kids murder him was all planned to make the evil cannibals _think_ he was out of the picture!
    Anyways, in the finale it's revealed that alternate spooky Jughead was lying about being from another dimension (but all the other alternate selves believed it for real), and they're _actually_ from a secret cloning lab in the woods near Riverdale that's been making clones of Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead for secret experiments, and the big reveal is that the people running the lab are _also_ Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead, and they claim to be the originals, but they're actually clones too and they killed the scientists who were running the place originally. Then Spooky Jughead leads his spooky prep school kids into a revolution against the evil clones in charge, and Spooky Jughead sacrifices himself to blow up the lab with all the clones in it so that this tragedy will never repeat itself and also because he's mourning the loss of his version of Betty, who I will remind you he was dating, and he can't bear to live in a world without her. It's very sad, Archie has to drag Jughead out to stop him trying to save his clone. Big kaboom, end of season, don't forget a quick cliffhanger where Veronica makes a phone call to someone and tells them the lab was destroyed because SHE KNEW SOMETHING! What _did_ she know? We'll figure it out in season 5!

    Fun fact: The only reason they did that “Jughead is dead” cliffhanger for season 4 was because Cole Sprouse was cold and didn’t want to shoot that scene because he would have to wear no clothes, so they re-wrote it to make it seem like he was dead.

All at once. One right after the other. Regardless of how much (or how little) sense it makes.

      Tbh, your monkey paw hypothetical isn’t probably closer to the truth than it might seem at first glance.

It’s apparently fairly common for people on long-running projects to struggle with staying on topic over years of creative work

      @@dotapark To explain what fable23 said:
      At the end of Season 5, Hiram (Veronica's father) plants a bomb under Archie's bed in order to kill him. Betty and him have a conversation, and the bomb goes off. This then creates an alternate reality called Rivervale (more on that later) and causes all the main characters to get superpowers. Archie is superstrong and invulnerable (except against a special element called Palladium), Betty can read people's auras, Jughead can read people's minds, Veronica can poison a person by kissing them, Cheryl can conjure fire, and Tabitha (Pops's granddaughter) can travel back in time, but only when she's near Pop's Diner.
      So, by the end of the next season, in order to stop Percival Pickens, a time-travelling, immortal wizard who made a deal with the devil in order to live forever and came to Riverdale after the explosion in order to take it over, from hurling a comet that only appears every 65 years towards Riverdale and destroying it, Cheryl absorbs everyone's powers through Veronica and stops it. However, through the combination of everyone's powers, the timeline gets reset to the 1960s and all of the main cast are now teenagers.
      That's probably the most truncated version of the story that I can tell.
