Riverdale video essay If you want to help support this channel, sign up to NordVPN nordvpn.com/alexmeyers and use code "alexmeyers" So, just like everyone else, I fell down the rabbit hole watching Riverdale on Netflix. I actually liked it more than I thought I would, but let's be honest... it's really cliche. Every possible trope you could think of is here in this show. The character archetypes, the plot twists, the melodrama. Ahh.. to be 16 again amirite? So I thought I would compare it to other shows and find exactly what it is that makes something a "teen drama". 1: Hot guy who has a totally benign secret and is totally stoic around everyone except for YOU 2: A bunch of girls who act cartoonishly 2D 3: Someone has a long lost sibling. Not sure why, but this is a thing for some reason. Although, I did really enjoy the 1940s/50s aesthetic. Definitely made it stand out from the rest. Anyway, I wanted to try using that 1950s style for the graphics. I know Archie Comics came out in the 1940s, but 1950s graphic design is MUCH more interesting. At least to me. But, work might get busier soon, so my future videos are probably going to get a little simpler. Like my Amy Schumer or Johnny Depp videos. Hopefully one day I can do this full-time ;) ★☆★Help Me Get to 25000 Subscribers! bit.ly/1Iqsdaq ★☆★PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO!! ★☆★PREVIOUS VIDEOS: what happened to Pixar? youtu.be/4Uo9PKnqQts Amy Schumer - Why is she so unfunny? youtu.be/IjhmAgKUy3c How to be Ryan Gosling youtu.be/SKXjdhtZIIc Wonder Woman and the meaning of "Girl Power" youtu.be/uvWf_08r_co Studio Ghibli - Capturing a Sense on Wonder youtu.be/2LSx1EI84OM The Biggest Problem with "13 Reasons Why" youtu.be/1rBcZTRx9o4 Why Johnny Depp needs to quit acting youtu.be/VIaWHEDGxa8 Dear White People - Intent vs. Action youtu.be/O-q1vVYU1d4 What does "success" actually mean? youtu.be/4JknXtz3A1o ★☆★Twitter: twitter.com/JudgeOfTheKings ★☆★Music Provided by: soundcloud.com/lindecis/monday-chill-8 soundcloud.com/xmittens/tired-of-love soundcloud.com/blunted_beatz/on-the-line Thank you so much for 20000 subscribers.
