So some you may have seen my other Riverdale video which was the first animation I ever made so yeah
It doesn't really hold up all that well, but basically in that video
I said that I liked season one a lot but when season two started
I couldn't really make it past like three episodes before I just kind of noped out of there. Now some of you out there told me
That I should give it more of a chance
You know maybe watch a few more episodes or whatever before I make up my mind, and you know you're right. That's fair
Maybe I was too hasty
Maybe my mind just wasn't in the right place or maybe I was right the whole time
So let's take a walk and let's see what season two has to offer
To sum up where we are there's some mysterious
Dude named the black hood
Who's going around town doing some bad stuff
Archie takes this pretty seriously since his dad was the first victim and gets his football buddies together to start the Red Circle which is
Basically, just some like vigilante group or whatever. He puts up a video on the internet where he calls out Mr.Black hood
This is a message for the coward calling himself the "Black Hood"
You think you can attack us from the shadows
but Riverdale,
Is a lot stronger than you and we're not afraid
Now the next day the whole town is upset by this video
Which strikes me is a little weird because like I mean nowadays, kids in high school are like, trying to go viral on Instagram by
Just setting random stuff on fire
So I'm not really sure a video of Archie giving a campy speech would get a whole lot of traction
But then again my campy video about Riverdale did pretty well
So what do I know?
anyway this video starts to get people in trouble so everyone else besides Archie decides to leave the Red Circle leaving Archie to take the
Law in his own hands
And then there was one
Which is what you wanted right? You and the black hood mano-a-mano
To the death
while going around
Tagging random buildings cuz I guess there's nothing a serial killer fears more than spray-paint, Archie has a run-in with a serpents namely
The toughest, roughest, rudest dude in the group:
Sweet Pea
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?!
Hey, back off I'm not here for you.
Oh yeah? Then who's this message for? Huh?!
Oh hell
Don't tell me it's for the Black Hood
You believe this guy? See, we're the troublemakers
Southside serpent country. Now
I know this is based on a comic book from like the 40s or whatever like I get it
You're trying to hold to the source material as much as you can like that's fine
I respect that but Sweet Pea?! Really?! He sounds like a lost character from My Little Pony. Hey, Archie
You're on the wrong side of town now you gots the answer to Sweet Pea, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight Sparkle
Anyway, Archie gets away by pulling out a gun yeah, that's a thing and the serpents aren't too happy about it so later
They go to Archie's house to confront him while
He just so happens to be having a little get-together with the rest of the football team
How stupid are you Northsiders?
You really think you can come to my house, stick a gun in my face in front of my boys and there wouldn't be any payback?
You have crap timing, bro
Bulldogs eat serpents for lunch
And they end up having a mass brawl on a bridge in the rain in slow motion
Yes, this is a real thing that happens in the show
yep, now later, on Jug Head decides to officially join the Serpents and naturally has to go through the whole gang initiation process
I AM taking this seriously Tony.
So, from the top...
WHAT IS THE FOURTH LAW?
Yoga pants are not pants no matter. How hard you want to believe okay?
I mean you can wear him if you want to, but let's just stop kidding ourselves alright?
WHAT IS THE FIFTH LAW?
Just because you own a pair of timberland boots does not mean you're a hiker
Okay, so if you tell me you like hiking you better be ready to walk ten miles all right
WHAT IS THE SIXTH?
Purposely waiting ten minutes just to text someone back is dumb and superficial and if I want to talk to you now
I'll gosh darn, talk to you right now. Okay? Well the Serpents sound like a weird group
Who knew they cared about so many pressing issues anyway, Jug Head finally joins the Serpents and right after, Southside High School,
Which for some reason just looks like every 80s sci-fi movie
Gets raided by the police because too many kids are out there doing the jingle jangle ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
So this puts the Serpents in a sticky situation
Because most of them are the ones caught and put in jail now one thing you need to know is that the southside of Riverdale
Has two rival gangs the Serpents and the Ghoulies because deep down
We're all third graders aren't we?Apparently the Ghoulies are the ones who are selling and distributing the JJ
But the Serpents are the only gang that the police seem to care about so, there's talk of these two gangs joining together to fight
against the Northside
But because the Ghoulies now outnumber the Serpents it would really just be like a takeover, more or less
Jughead naturally is strongly against this and willing to do anything to make sure it doesn't happen
And I'm sure this will all be handled in a logical believable way
Me and my boy,
Wanna challenge you to a race
Wait just one gosh darn minute here, this is this is a real serious thing that happens in the show. Me and my boy,
Wanna challenge you to a race
If we win,
Serpents remain autonomous and you quit dealing at Southside High
And if we win?
We fold... and
You can continue polluting the Southside with your little straws of death
Some of you might be too young to remember this but back in the 90s there were lots of these movies like like heavyweights for
example where a bunch of kids would have to win a
Go-kart race or a baseball game or something and that would somehow save their after-school
Hangout spot or their summer camp or whatever, and that's literally what's happening in the show all right?
You two League Ghoulies Pinkie Pie and I are gonna tell you how it's gonna be you want to take over our turf you gotta
Fight for it. We'll race you down a surprisingly well kept piece of road and whoever wins controls the Southside well
I was gonna suggest that we play yugioh cards, but now I see you are very serious
Yes, a drag race does seem like a good idea to determine who will sell drugs and guns around town yes
This is clearly the superior idea and then they have the race
And I just gotta bring up one last point here before the race starts
Cheryl who by the way was nowhere to be seen when the whole drag race thing was decided so like why is she even here
But whatever before the race begins this happens
Not today cha-cha I was born for this moment
Engines warm and ready
Gentlemen?
Okay clearly you were not born for this because that was the most confusing go signal
I've ever seen usually it's like when my hands hit the road or when the flag touches the ground or something like this but but
What did what what even is this do I go are you yawning?
I have no idea what I'm looking for here. And in case you're wondering. No one actually wins the race
It was all just a trick by Archie to get the Ghoulies caught by the police
So what's the point? So I made it further into the season like I said
I would and I'll be honest here my opinion hasn't changed very much
I mean before you had kids
Drinking mimosas for breakfast and all that and now you have rival gangs hanging out in Edgar Allan Poe's basement having street races like what what? What
Is even happening in this show? How is this real, but I'll say this love it or hate it. There's no show out there

Hope everything is good for all of you, so this is my first video of 2018 like I said in the last video
I'm gonna kind of slow things down a little bit throughout December
I put out like two videos a week pretty much every week
And so I wanted to kind of slow it down just kind of take my time a little bit with things
You know throughout December doing two videos a week
Was kind of an experience sometimes the videos didn't turn out quite the way, I wanted
But I kind of had to like just be like well
I mean I have no time left, so I guess I'll just put it up
you know But now I want to take things a little bit slower
Do a little more detail get things kind of closer to the way
I want but still you know do at least one per week
You know if it turns out I get into a good rhythm a good sort of way of doing things a good flow or whatever
Maybe I can do two a week sometimes, but you know I guarantee they'll always be at least one video
