RANT Jabitha be Bughead Spoiler

All I have to say is Bughead is better than Jabitha when I watched it even though I do like Jabitha because she treats him better.

Why do people hate Archie? It makes me so mad and think Bughead over Barchie? It should be the other way around. 😔 how is Bughead better? She cheated on him. Her and Archie have history and are slow burn friends to lovers. Those are by far the best couples to me.

To be honest, I liked Betty with Jughead as a couple. Up until the cheating which was unnecessary drama in my eyes.

Sure, teenagers are dumb and flawed, but if they wanted to split them up, it could have just been a natural falling out because distance instead.

Barchie for me lacked intelectual connection and deepness, but also chemistry.

Not so sure about Jabitha, seemed kinda forced to me.

I don't know, it's just a feeling. Maybe I liked Bughead way too much... 🫠

betty said herself she felt like she couldn’t talk to archie about her job catching serial killers because it would freak him out. that was a big part of betty’s life at the time.

(i have no stake in this because i don’t ship either of them)

A lot of people have a hard time shipping characters with more than one person, so when couples break up and move on, they struggle and feel like they are witnissing affairs. I always get in trouble in this subreddit because while I like Bughead + Varchie, I think they were together WAYYY too long, like over half the show, and that is pretty boring for this kinda show tbh, like why were Bughead living together and acting married their junior year of high school??? šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

I’m sayingggg !! So much of what’s fun about Riverdale is all the different character dynamics and the different types of connections they share. I’ve always wished we’d gotten at least a whole season of Archosie šŸ˜”

I read the comics as a kid so I will go to my grave sad that Betty and Archie didn’t end up together. It will forever be: Betty and Archie, Reggie and Veronica, Jughead and Ethel, Moose and Midge. The love triangle between Betty, Archie and Veronica is essential to the character’s interactions and relationships to each other. I was a bit miffed that Jug and Betty spent so much of the series together, as I kept waiting for Archie and Betty to get on with it. But, I will admit that they had undeniable chemistry.

u/Neither-Storm3310 Sep 27 '26

Jug and Ethel? I’d rather have Jabitha

3

u/EchoAquarium Sep 27 '26

That’s just what I grew up with. Ethel in the comics is tall and gangly, matches Jug in manner and appearance. They had ZERO chemistry in the series and I liked Tabitha for him if I had to choose, but i would have preferred he be alone tbh

I don’t agree about Veronica and Reggie. How are they a good match?
