but at least in gotham they have some sense of who they are(like the riddler's obsession with riddles and games)

in riverdale it's like they just took out every generic character in a typical high school drama and pasted them over the names of archie characters

you do not make Josie Into A Whiny Arrogant Brat that hates recording songs despite being a singer....and you do not turn jughead into some Angsty teen babe magnet

this isn't a brand you can just throw out there and have people eat up because it's archie and high school drama's aren't so popular today to the point where it'll be watched just because its another high school drama

so why even make this show?
