Veronica’s dad creating a game just to get rid of Archie lol dude’s practically loaded and could’ve just hired an assassin. Then again, going through great lengths to kill a high schooler is a bit of a stretch.
My dad and I used to watch the show together and our running joke was that absolutely anyone living in Riverdale would do better as a crime lord than Mr. Lodge. He's so dumb and ineffective, and he's been caught before. And then there's kids who are committing murder and solving crime and never getting caught. Mr. Lodge: the least dangerous character in the show
…do none of you follow politics? Once you’ve got enough money and a position of political power, it’s very difficult to remove you if you’re determined to stay where you are.
If anything, it’s been real life that felt like badly written fiction lately.
I wouldn't suggest solving real life problems with a gun, but it's pretty easy to do it as a writer. I've killed off crucial characters because they annoyed me. All you have to do is make their death significant to the survivors.
He's so useless that at one point his own teenage daughter outwits him by inventing maple syrup rum, which (a) sounds hideous, (b) is illegal for an 18 year old to sell, and (c) seriously?
The whole show is laughably silly. In the end I had to stop watching it because everyone in it is an idiot. Even Jughead, who's meant to be a genius, regularly makes incredibly stupid decisions whenever. Like... Archie, 1950s small-town wholesome comic-book character, is in fact not a confused teenager but is instead some sort of gangster-hunting badass? Okay then.
You just described my problems with Karate Kid 3. Rich guy fights elderly man and child with elaborate ruse yo avenge his still living buddy. Great Lengths to Kill Highschoolers: the movie.
voldemort failed for similar idiocy. why would you put horcruxes in personally significant places rather than burying them in the woods or tossing them in a ravine?
and he never hired a professional assassin either. he had his death eaters, but harry's homes were warded against magicals. the fool could have hired a muggle to break in or throw a molotov through the window at any time
I'm pretty sure the Fidelius charm worked on Muggles too, since even the most basic wards that let all Wizards in are basically imperceptible to Muggles.
There's also the whole 'he was a Wizard supremacist who thought all Muggles were inferior to him and hated and disrespected them'. Why in almighty fuck would the greatest Dark Wizard to ever live need the help of a MUGGLE to kill a baby? That kinda goes against his whole Thing.
you can hate and disrespect people and still make use of them. i don't know the details of harry's protection magic but muggles certainly knew where he lived and were able to enter the dursley house without his permission.
Sure, but it kinda undersells "Wizards are superior to Muggles and should be the ones on top of the heap" when you have to hire a muggle to kill a baby. Kinda makes you look like a bitch-ass punk instead of the Greatest Dark Wizard of all time.
The Dursley home was not under a Fidelius Charm, is why muggles could enter it. The protection there was that Lily's sacrifice protected Harry from Voldemort, and by the 'bond of blood' it extended to any place he could call 'home' where his mother's blood still dwells. He was protected from Voldemort there because of his aunt Petunia, not because of a Fidelius Charm.
That's because Voldemort was a raging narcissist. He believed his soul couldnt be stashed in an object or place of insignificance and he also believed killing without a wand was beneath any magic user.
Yeah, just load them up with some kind of drug and let them choke on their own vomit while they seize and the life is strangled from them by their own body. Or get them in a car crash. I knew a guy who got high and blew his jaw off with a pistol right in front of his girlfriend, mere weeks after high school graduation.
Thanks. You’re definitely right about that. I saw a video once where a security camera was aimed at the street, and a mother was walking her infant in a stroller. Everything was fine, just another day for those two. Then, in an instant, the suicide jumper who had leapt from a nearby roof landed on the stroller. The mother stood there for a moment in shock, stared at the dead jumper for a few seconds, and then glanced at her deceased child in the wreck of the stroller before walking over to it and falling to her knees. The real world is a cold, cruel place, full of every brand of despair and misery one could hope to think of. Stranger than fiction indeed.
For a mob boss, or whatever the fuck he was, absolutely. Get one of your underlings to cap Archie and be done with it. The Irishman did it for years working for the east coast mob.
