LOL I'll quad that sentiment. Never watched a single episode, but I still somehow feel connected to the show thanks to watching all of Alex's coverage of it
Its because of selfless heroes like Alex why we all can happily say we watched riverdale without carrying the trauma of watching the entirety of riverdale 🙏🙏
@@Randypl-x6jI actually remember seeing the first season and thinking it was too grounded in reality. I was hoping for the comics archie mysteries. Then they took it further

There will never be a show as ridiculous or random as Riverdale. Thank you, Alex, for giving us something to mock for the past six years, and for putting yourself through it so that we didn't have to!
wow... I cannot believe it's actually over. a part of me is convinced there will be another reboot out of nowhere at some point. I mean... this has become the show that never ends, no matter how ridiculous it gets, for me. And now it did end. not that I'm particularly attached to it. I watched like.. maybe 2.5 seasons? but I didn't want to just stop watching without knowing how it ended, and that's how I found your videos. and I have watched most of them, if not all of them and learned to love your animation and your commentary. it's unique and threw me off at first, but it also drew me back in. its uniqueness makes it special. also helped by the fact that you're actually funny and your animation is also great. anyhoot, thank you so much for sticking with this show, Alex, and making videos about it, so we didn't have to keep watching all of it. you're awesome, keep doing your thing. and now that we're done with Riverdale, I'm excited to possibly see more different videos from your channel ❤
Kinda bittersweet. I only watched season 1 to 3, but have been watching you since the beginning of your Riverdale reviews, cause I knew for a FACT I wasn’t the only one who thought this show is absolutely batshit crazy. 😂 And it was so comforting to have you through the years, even when I stopped watching the show myself, I was still on this rollercoaster ride with you. So… thank you. ❤
Can we all just take a quick moment and applaud Alex on how far his animation has come over the years?! Looking back at the original Riverdale video to this finale video is insane how much he has improved as an artist-- congrats Alex on the professional growth. Loved the video! ❤
"Let's make her more half-which kinda like what Netflix does with all of their black characters". This resonated with me and I am unapologetically black. ❤
There's something beautiful about a guy spending 6 years ruthlessly mocking a show, only to conclude how over time he has come to respect it and how it's given something to the world even if it was just a bunch of laughs for us watching this channel. Thank you Riverdale, I never even watched you, but thanks to you and Alex I have been cheered up after hard days at work and given a brief release from just being overwhelmed with life bullshit.
The funny thing is he thinks people will remember it. No, they will not. It is the kind of thing that gets dated in a few years in a decade it will be another thing lost to time.
@@Raximus3000I’m pretty sure people will remember it. The entire absurdity of it gave it enough of a cult following (people who actually watched it to the end and people who just followed along through videos like Alex’s or some other means) that it’s going to be memorable for a large enough group of people. They hit the “if you can’t make it good, make it so bad people can’t look away” sweet spot.
As someone who worked on the show. (I started watching your videos in Season One for a good laugh) I really appreciate you and how you have grown. Thank you
@noodleydoodleys Because it's Riverdale, one of the most insane and nonsensical shows to ever exist. Nothing makes sense, nothing can be predicted, and none of the characters are going to be the same between seasons.
After that incredible tribute music number, I don't think it's any stretch to say that at this point Alex is undoubtedly Riverdale's #1 fan, even if it's in a different way than the showrunners expected
Alex's videos are the only exposure to Riverdale I had, but I can't deny that this musical number has to be the most incredible tribute anyone has made to this bizarre show. I hope some of the actors (and those orangutans slapping gibberish on their typewriters) are following this channel.
Whenever I feel down about my writing skills, Riverdale is a constant reminder that maybe I don't suck as much as I thought I did. This definitely feels like the end of an era.
“The Abs and Pecs Live On” is the perfect send off song after all these years. Even though I haven’t seen all the Riverdale videos, I have seen all the musical segments, and this feels like the best way to say goodbye to Riverdale. Also, stop motion?!?! Alex, when did you find time for that?!? It’s amazing!
I have never seen one full episode of Riverdale but i have watched every single one of your Riverdale videos! Alex, you are so good at what you do! The animations, narrations, jokes, the comedic timing, the singing!!! It's all so good!! That musical number at the end of this video about the end of the show had me in tears! YOU ARE SO FREAKING GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO!!! Keep the vids coming we will keep coming back!!
I really love how the song at the end showed how much Alex's animation style has progressed through the years through the eyes of Riverdale. Top notch Alex. Honestly ❤
I think I probably speak for a large number of people here when I say that I've never watched a single episode of this show and have no intentions to do so. But watching these videos have provided so much more entertainment than this show ever could have. I'm going to miss avoiding Riverdale by vicariously hate-watching it through you.
I have followed Riverdale for years now, through the serial killers, witches cuts, super heroes, alternate universes and epic highs and lows of high school football... all through Alex and his videos. End of an era in deed.
I can't believe Riverdale is over. I still remember its very first scene with Cheryl and Jason, that is still my favourite scene ever. I really loved the small town setting. The mysteries seemed intriguing. And now I watched this video wondering what the heck happened lol.
The first scene and the first episode are beautiful, they feel like they could be an early Lana Del Rey video. The show felt like a modern take on Twin Peaks, it came out the same year as the Return. I think I wrote something about it being more a spiritual sequel to Twin Peaks than what the Return was. But now, it is as weird as the Return. It would actually been more fun if the show ended with Archie screaming outside his house “what year is this?”. How could this go on for seven seasons?
You're animation skills have come along way over the years you should be Hella proud of what you've accomplished And thank you for roasting a show that truly had it coming. Makes me feel like I didn't suffer alone and assures me it wasn't a fever dream lmao🧡🦇 Edit: the puppets!! Omg😂
I can't believe I have been subscribed for 6 years.... crazy we all grew up with Riverdale videos from Alex and now it's the end of an era. We will not miss Riverdale but we are happy it gave us something to cackle at. RIP Riverdale
The first episode had so much potential. Then the rest of season 1 happened and it had… some potential. Then season 2 happened and it’s been a downward spiral since.
This is it. My watchparty and I, the "Riverbabes", finally finished Riverdale together 1 hour ago. It for sure was a ride. And throughout it all, you have been with us. This actually got me so emotional and the musical at the end was incredible. Thanks for living through this with us. (also, your reaction to fangs was EXACTLY the same as one of us)
Did you seriously say the musical was incredible? How old are you? And did you do acid before watching? Out of all the problems, stupidity and corniness and foul problems with the show the musical are every problem combined together and sung.
Wow!! The ending animated song was so amazing. All the different styles were beautifully done. I’m obsessed with that section. Thank you for taking us through the insanity that was Riverdale.
When I heard Riverdale was ending, and how the four main characters ended up, I said out loud “I cannot wait for Alex Meyers to cover this”. And my god, you absolutely did not disappoint 😂
I made so many jokes about them needing to cancel this show because it seemed like the writers were grasping at straws but I’m so sad right now. I’ve been watching Riverdale since the 7th grade and I’m a college sophomore now this is so bittersweet
I can’t believe it’s the end… Thank you for covering this show, I never would have watched this abomination but you did it for us. And you made it entertaining too!
This honestly made me far more emotional than the actual Riverdale finale did, your closing statement is also a lovely reminder that this show was largely a waste of some genuinely really talented people
The production of this video is really something. I absolutely loved how you incoporated your previous songs into this one. You Alex, made the perfect finale.
“the highs and lows of highschool football” - alex you really made it through 7 seasons of this show, and boy am i proud of you for doing it ! your riverdale videos will always be iconic !
Wow the finale of riverdale genuinely made me cry because I literally started watching this show when I was about 12-13 years old and it was the best thing on television at the time, in my opinion, because I was a HUGE fan of the comics and the comics really shaped me throughout primary and secondary school. It was all me and my friends would ever read ( which probably rotted some part of our brains but who cares) so to hear Betty talk about life and how you should take it in because moments pass yada yada yada I cried. Alex’s goodbye is equally as sentimental! I appreciate how he acknowledges how long this show has been around and how it’s really the last of its kind
That’s a huge part of your life :o the show ran for so long that I felt nostalgic about the show while it was still running. I also cried. I am much older and started watching when I was 22, but still what an era
Riverdale is the only show that has defeated me. I cannot...absolutely CAN NOT finish it. After some of the stupid shit I have powered through, for this to be the show I can't finish is, well, it's weird. I NEVER stop a series once I start binging it. But I got to season 6 and it was like Wile E. Coyote hitting a wall. So kudos to you, Alex, for sticking with it on behalf of all the rest of us!
Alex had a bigger budget and put more effort into writing and producing the 4 minute end of this video than the producers of the entirety of Riverdale. He didn't even have to go this big. But he did We don't deserve this man
I just finished watching Riverdale and one of the only reasons why I continued watching it was simply because of your videos and how great they were. These videos will always sticks with me. Thank you for entertaining us these years, Alex.
The end of an era. All those moments of intense storytelling like the long lost twin, the guy that as gonna fly to space, Cheryl channeling her inner Wanda Maximoff to conveniently stop a comet that only people in Riverdale knew was coming. All cause some dumb guy got murdered. It's been a ride and thank you very much Alex, for taking us along for the journey😭🤧❤
I always felt a little sad about Riverdale ending (mostly because of your recaps, no lie) but when you mentioned how Riverdale is the last of its breed, that made me realize that this is the true end of an era.
I watched all of s01 when it aired thinking it´d be like PLL bacause of the deaths and mistery. When s02 happened I tried to keep going but it didn´t sit right with me, so i started watching your videos to kind of keep up with it out of curiosity. Now after 6 years I never went back to watch Riverdale, but i did keep watching your videos. This final video has felt so emotional and I loved it, you put Riverdale on a whole other perspective.
Genuinely didn’t expect this video to actually get me kind of emotional. Been watching these videos since I was in the sixth grade, now I’m going into my senior year of high school. It was a wild ride. Thank you, Alex, for bringing us along the journey.
Me too. I was about 12-13 when this mess started and now I'm heading to college in a month. Since English isn't my native language, I went from just understanding main point of Alex's videos to being able to understand every word. It's wild how much time has passed between Riverdale actually being good and this mess of a chaotic finale. I just watched first season and dropped it, but Alex kept me up to date with everything that happened for all these years😂
I was in 7th grade in a different town with no friends when I was both watching Riverdale live on television and watching Alex’s videos. Now I’m gonna be a Freshman in college and I have so many friends and I’m in a whole new stage of life. Riverdale has been with us for truly everything.
I was the same age as Archie & the gang when Riverdale 1st started & now I'm a college senior studying film & TV. Without your videos I don't think I would've noticed how time flew. So thanks Alex.
Riverdale may not have been the best show out there but it definitely was the most memorable. I have never watched a single ep since it came out but saw all the recap videos and weirdly enough I feel like I'm still going to miss all the ridiculous plot lines, jokes and memes. It truly was one of a kind show. I also feel bittersweet because this is the end of CW's Nancy Drew as well. Pretty much all CW shows are ending now cause I think it got sold and split off. It feels like an end of era not just for Riverdale but in a way for CW as well.
I LOVE THE SONG. And the animation is just chef's kiss. You put in a lot of work into this and it's so impressive. I mean do people still give this level of content on youtube? This is so good and brilliant. Bravo!
This show, god it had so much potential in season 1. I remember being really impressed and I was so sick of the craziness of Pretty Little Liars so I thought Riverdale was finally something solid to watch. lmao that naivety though. I gave up on the show early season 3, but I stuck with your videos for all these years. Thank you for all the time you put into making these, and sitting through one batshit dumpster fire of a show so we didn't have to. The truly good thing that came out of it was your channel being what it is today!
the way i’m actually emotional over this…i’ve never watched a single episode but i’ve seen all of your riverdale videos so i’m strangely attached to the show😭
It's crazy that Riverdale is over. I found your channel because of Riverdale. It truly is an end of an era. Thank you Alex for the hard work and the songs. Anytime Archie took off his shirt, my head would start singing your song about Archie's abs.
6 years.. man I was a freshman in high school just like the characters when the show came out and when Alex started his videos. I remember dressing up as Jughead for Halloween my sophomore year. 😂 I’m a junior in college now. I can’t believe I stuck through this whole time (Alex’s videos, I stopped with the show about 8-10 episodes into season 4 if I recall correctly). ❤ Much love to you all, and thanks for 6 years of this Alex.
I'm not crying. You're crying! I've never watched a single Riverdale episode but I've watched all of your videos about it, and everything else of course. I love your content, no matter what. But Riverdale will be missed. That music video is fantastic. No better way to end a era. Great job, everyone!
I just binge-watched your entire Riverdale playlist; this video is not part of the playlist tho, don't know if you forgot lol. BUT! Point is, you helped me experience the whole thing without even seeing a single episode. It was wacky and crazy, but it's still a memorable show and your jokes helped me see that, instead of completely criticizing the shit out of it, you kind of play with the issues and make it seem goofy and maybe even fun. Thanks for the videos man! I'm happy your channel is doing so good now because of this crazy show lol. I still watch your videos, and I'll be around for probably as long as you're gonna be around. So yeah 👍🏾
I'm actually so emotional watching this video. It feels like the end of an era. I have watched the show exclusively with you since season 3 Alex. Thank you for your service and the animators for the wonderful animations at the end. Goodbye Riverdale ❤
This really does feel like the end of an era. I've never watched a single episode of Riverdale, but I've followed it religiously through all of your videos and thus had hours of entertainment and laughs. Thank you for bringing this insane show to us who lack the time to go down the rabbit hole ourselves!
The end of an era. Your initial video essay was on my recommended page all those years ago when you first talked about Riverdale and it was amazing to see you grow as a creator through time. Proud of ya, Alex!
This video was glorious. Thank you for watching Riverdale and for providing us with such good entertainment, Alex. Your humour and animations, the musical numbers, everything you did is so iconic. Props to you and all the artists involved. Y'all are amazing. Riverdale will forever be iconic, one way or another.
Binge watching this video series and getting that medley of all the songs Alex wrote for this show was absolutely amazing. Seeing his development as a creator through a single playlist then it all capped off with a song that had more thought put into it than Kevin’s character throughout every season is so fun to see. We may never get another Riverdale, but we’ll always have it. And these videos.
This. Was. Insane. what a finale of an era. your Riverdale videos were ICONIC and you finished it all with a BANG. I can't believe it's over now. Though I know that me and thousands others will come back to rewatch these videos and reminisce in the insanity and beauty. Also, fucking props to the production effort which went into this video. Just damn wow, what a masterpiece. Thank you, Alex
This is it, end of an era, accidentally bumped into this show when I was only 16 and ending it at 22, and realizing how much better it was b4 this, I’m not sure if life will ever be the same again
i've been watching your riverdale videos since 2018, and i've seen the show vicariously thorough your recaps, alex thank you for your dedication, effort, and losing your sanity so we don't have to. it's been fun seeing you grow as a content creator!
Thank you for all those years of you following this show! Even after I stopped watching Riverdale, I still stayed caught up through you're very entertaining videos so thank you!!
Through this whole season, I was just thinking "Oh, jeez, I can't wait for Alex's videos!" and watching the last episode, I was more excited about your finale of this wild ride than the actual series finale. Thank you for the last musical we needed from Riverdale (not that we needed the original ones but here we are). It felt great not to walk alone this insanely ridiculous road so thank you for that.
Found you through that first Riverdale animated video, stuck with you throughout the insanity even though I dropped the show mid-season 3. Thanks for keeping us all informed and appraised of the insanity.
That Alex Meyers lore dump at the beginning caught me off guard Also I will miss this series so much 😢.... not riverdale, but watching it vicariously through Alex. Its certainly been a time.
That musical's quality is so good, the different type of animation in it, you're amazing Alex. Thank you for enduring Riverdale for so long to make us laugh so much. I'm happy that your channel keeps growing because you deserve some recognition for this great work you're doing.
End of an era. The first video I saw from your channel was a Riverdale video, because I watched the first season back then and was really hooked. Now we are 2023 and I watch every single video of you, but the Riverdale videos were always the highlight. I will miss it, not gonna lie
i gotta say, that musical section near the end was hilarious and it seemed like you had a lot of fun making it. thank you for these videos and i can't wait for you to cover the inevitable streaming-exclusive reboot named Riverdale: A Totally Regual Show or something bizarre like that
Alex, I’m. It sure how I found your Riverdale videos six years ago (I never watched the show 😊) , but I have looked forward to them ever since. In that time, I have moved countries, gotten married, had a baby…and your videos still bring me joy! Looking forward to more!
gotta say, something good did come out of Riverdale. I found Alex's videos. honestly alex, you've made me laugh at times it's been really hard to, and despite the jokes, reflect on myself when I need to. This is the end of an era, but it's certainly not the end of me watching your videos. Thank you for the six years of entertainment, here's to many more 🍾🥂
I just binge watched all of your Riverdale videos before finally watching this finale and I gotta say you have never failed to entertain me throughout the six long years that I’ve been keeping up with your content and especially your Riverdale vids. Thank you Alex and rest in peace Riverdale.
Thank you Alex Thank you Alex for venturing like a war reporter into the deep tides of Riverdale for all these years.Thanks to you, we were able to closely study the strange and unpredictable animals that are the characters of Riverdale, without having to approach them too close.
I started watching your videos my first year of college in 2017. Now I've graduated, been working for 2 years, and have a baby on the way. I gave up on this show around season 4, but thanks for pressing on and protecting us from the nightmares, and all the laughs and sobbing along the way. We can now all collectively move on with our lives, free from the demon that was Riverdale
This feels like the end of an era. RIP Riverdale, you weren’t the show we wanted, but you were the nightmare we needed.
Bahaha yes
Started as one hell of a show (ofc with some weird ass scenes and cringe here and there)...but sad to see it go, you shall be missed
The nightmare we needed 😂
Agreed, thankfully, the actors will be freed from the shackles of this ludicrous show.
very poetic
Thank you Alex Myers for allowing me to experience Riverdale without actually having to watch Riverdale.

i feel you, certainly helps my imposter syndrome 😭
@@tigercat1080I relate to both of you so much right now
“The Abs and Pecs Live On” is the perfect send off song after all these years. Even though I haven’t seen all the Riverdale videos, I have seen all the musical segments, and this feels like the best way to say goodbye to Riverdale.
Also, stop motion?!?! Alex, when did you find time for that?!? It’s amazing!
I have never seen one full episode of Riverdale but i have watched every single one of your Riverdale videos! Alex, you are so good at what you do! The animations, narrations, jokes, the comedic timing, the singing!!! It's all so good!! That musical number at the end of this video about the end of the show had me in tears! YOU ARE SO FREAKING GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO!!! Keep the vids coming we will keep coming back!!
I thought I was the only one! I've also never seen it.
Me neither
Me also
Same. Alex's videos are clearly better written than that excuse of a pedo's fever dreams.
I have never seen one episode either. It's crazy 😂
I really love how the song at the end showed how much Alex's animation style has progressed through the years through the eyes of Riverdale. Top notch Alex. Honestly ❤
I think it's a team effort of the secret group project for animators Alex posted in the community tab some time ago.
Yup, the credits in the video description. Great work still
I think I probably speak for a large number of people here when I say that I've never watched a single episode of this show and have no intentions to do so. But watching these videos have provided so much more entertainment than this show ever could have. I'm going to miss avoiding Riverdale by vicariously hate-watching it through you.
I love the actors don’t get me wrong but the writers must’ve hit their head after making the first three seasons
three ?!! bro you’re being way too generous hahaha
three?
The show i think you mean after 2 season 2 wasn't perfect but it was better than 3 and every season after
@@sxhizornsmn ya I was trying to be generous I didn’t wanna get yelled at by riverdale fans lol
@@ags_wsw nah understandable lmao, the hardcore ones are scary 😳
That final song was amazing!!! To everyone who worked on it, you guys did such a good job and should be proud of yourselves
Agreed Amazing!!!😍😂
That production y'all did for the song at the end is INSANE, amazing work everyone!!!
I have followed Riverdale for years now, through the serial killers, witches cuts, super heroes, alternate universes and epic highs and lows of high school football... all through Alex and his videos. End of an era in deed.
The show is not so bad when you don't think about it
I can't believe Riverdale is over. I still remember its very first scene with Cheryl and Jason, that is still my favourite scene ever. I really loved the small town setting. The mysteries seemed intriguing. And now I watched this video wondering what the heck happened lol.
❤
I know right!I left it being a mystery and now people have powers?😂😂
The writers turning to drugs and booze to cope with their lack of creativity
The first scene and the first episode are beautiful, they feel like they could be an early Lana Del Rey video. The show felt like a modern take on Twin Peaks, it came out the same year as the Return. I think I wrote something about it being more a spiritual sequel to Twin Peaks than what the Return was. But now, it is as weird as the Return. It would actually been more fun if the show ended with Archie screaming outside his house “what year is this?”. How could this go on for seven seasons?
You're animation skills have come along way over the years you should be Hella proud of what you've accomplished
And thank you for roasting a show that truly had it coming. Makes me feel like I didn't suffer alone and assures me it wasn't a fever dream lmao🧡🦇
Edit: the puppets!! Omg😂
Props to everyone who made the animations at the end and all the singers too, yall did such a great job!
I can't believe I have been subscribed for 6 years.... crazy we all grew up with Riverdale videos from Alex and now it's the end of an era. We will not miss Riverdale but we are happy it gave us something to cackle at. RIP Riverdale
The first episode had so much potential. Then the rest of season 1 happened and it had… some potential. Then season 2 happened and it’s been a downward spiral since.
This is it. My watchparty and I, the "Riverbabes", finally finished Riverdale together 1 hour ago. It for sure was a ride. And throughout it all, you have been with us. This actually got me so emotional and the musical at the end was incredible. Thanks for living through this with us. (also, your reaction to fangs was EXACTLY the same as one of us)
Did you seriously say the musical was incredible? How old are you? And did you do acid before watching? Out of all the problems, stupidity and corniness and foul problems with the show the musical are every problem combined together and sung.
Good band name: The Riverbabes
Can we all just take a min to appreciate that final music number with all the different animation styles 🔥🔥🔥
For real!!!
Incredible
it was amazing omg
Wow. That song was REALLY fantastic. The different art forms and epically hilarious. Riverdale would be proud!
Also contains a reference to Tom Baker survives april. Seriously, go check it out
Especially the abs
That end musical is a work of art. Loved the inclusion of Glados' song, never would have expected to find it in the Riverdale commentary 😅
I thought he would do the portal to song at the end of this one, but it was great nonetheless
Wow!! The ending animated song was so amazing. All the different styles were beautifully done. I’m obsessed with that section. Thank you for taking us through the insanity that was Riverdale.
That ending song was incredible. I haven’t seen anything like that before
where's the FULL SONG of this musical motherfucker?
When I heard Riverdale was ending, and how the four main characters ended up, I said out loud “I cannot wait for Alex Meyers to cover this”. And my god, you absolutely did not disappoint 😂
Same lmao
Literally same!
I made so many jokes about them needing to cancel this show because it seemed like the writers were grasping at straws but I’m so sad right now. I’ve been watching Riverdale since the 7th grade and I’m a college sophomore now this is so bittersweet
The 'Abs - the musical' part was simply amazing 😭
Thank you, Alex for all these years of hart work and incredible animations of yours!
I can’t believe it’s the end… Thank you for covering this show, I never would have watched this abomination but you did it for us. And you made it entertaining too!
abomination... more like ABSomination XD
I’ve been here since your first riverdale video… I was 14 and now 21! I’ve loved your take on riverdale all these years:)
This honestly made me far more emotional than the actual Riverdale finale did, your closing statement is also a lovely reminder that this show was largely a waste of some genuinely really talented people
I can't believe this glorious series has come to an end😭 thank you Alex for covering this show all these years
The production of this video is really something. I absolutely loved how you incoporated your previous songs into this one. You Alex, made the perfect finale.
I don’t think we give the actors enough credit for staying with this show throughout all of the seasons
Money money money 🎼
Yea it’s wild they continued to get paid and took the money. Just wild.
Contractually obligated
And money is money
“the highs and lows of highschool football” - alex you really made it through 7 seasons of this show, and boy am i proud of you for doing it ! your riverdale videos will always be iconic !
Wow the finale of riverdale genuinely made me cry because I literally started watching this show when I was about 12-13 years old and it was the best thing on television at the time, in my opinion, because I was a HUGE fan of the comics and the comics really shaped me throughout primary and secondary school. It was all me and my friends would ever read ( which probably rotted some part of our brains but who cares) so to hear Betty talk about life and how you should take it in because moments pass yada yada yada I cried. Alex’s goodbye is equally as sentimental! I appreciate how he acknowledges how long this show has been around and how it’s really the last of its kind
That’s a huge part of your life :o the show ran for so long that I felt nostalgic about the show while it was still running. I also cried. I am much older and started watching when I was 22, but still what an era
Riverdale is the only show that has defeated me. I cannot...absolutely CAN NOT finish it. After some of the stupid shit I have powered through, for this to be the show I can't finish is, well, it's weird. I NEVER stop a series once I start binging it. But I got to season 6 and it was like Wile E. Coyote hitting a wall.
So kudos to you, Alex, for sticking with it on behalf of all the rest of us!
In the same exact boat as you. Can’t finish season 6.
you made it farther than i did 💀
Same. I was done around season 4 but I never stoped watching Alex's videos about Riverdale.
Alex had a bigger budget and put more effort into writing and producing the 4 minute end of this video than the producers of the entirety of Riverdale.
He didn't even have to go this big. But he did
We don't deserve this man
I just finished watching Riverdale and one of the only reasons why I continued watching it was simply because of your videos and how great they were. These videos will always sticks with me. Thank you for entertaining us these years, Alex.
Similar situation ❤ indeed and true ❤
An era comes to an end. Thanks to both Riverdale and you Alex for the ride
The end of an era. All those moments of intense storytelling like the long lost twin, the guy that as gonna fly to space, Cheryl channeling her inner Wanda Maximoff to conveniently stop a comet that only people in Riverdale knew was coming. All cause some dumb guy got murdered. It's been a ride and thank you very much Alex, for taking us along for the journey😭🤧❤
Didn't love Riverdale but love your series Alex! The songs, the animation, the abs, love it all! RIP Riverdale!
I always felt a little sad about Riverdale ending (mostly because of your recaps, no lie) but when you mentioned how Riverdale is the last of its breed, that made me realize that this is the true end of an era.
The final musical was brilliant. Everyone who worked on it did so good, great job putting everything together.
I watched all of s01 when it aired thinking it´d be like PLL bacause of the deaths and mistery. When s02 happened I tried to keep going but it didn´t sit right with me, so i started watching your videos to kind of keep up with it out of curiosity. Now after 6 years I never went back to watch Riverdale, but i did keep watching your videos. This final video has felt so emotional and I loved it, you put Riverdale on a whole other perspective.
Exactly the same as me - thought it would be different to what it was
Genuinely didn’t expect this video to actually get me kind of emotional. Been watching these videos since I was in the sixth grade, now I’m going into my senior year of high school. It was a wild ride. Thank you, Alex, for bringing us along the journey.
Me too. I was about 12-13 when this mess started and now I'm heading to college in a month. Since English isn't my native language, I went from just understanding main point of Alex's videos to being able to understand every word. It's wild how much time has passed between Riverdale actually being good and this mess of a chaotic finale. I just watched first season and dropped it, but Alex kept me up to date with everything that happened for all these years😂
same💔 lord its been ages
Epic highs and lows?
I was in 7th grade in a different town with no friends when I was both watching Riverdale live on television and watching Alex’s videos. Now I’m gonna be a Freshman in college and I have so many friends and I’m in a whole new stage of life. Riverdale has been with us for truly everything.
I was the same age as Archie & the gang when Riverdale 1st started & now I'm a college senior studying film & TV. Without your videos I don't think I would've noticed how time flew. So thanks Alex.
I've loved seeing the improvement of your editing over the past 6 yrs. That finalé song really brought it all to the forefront 👏🏻👏🏻
Riverdale may not have been the best show out there but it definitely was the most memorable. I have never watched a single ep since it came out but saw all the recap videos and weirdly enough I feel like I'm still going to miss all the ridiculous plot lines, jokes and memes. It truly was one of a kind show. I also feel bittersweet because this is the end of CW's Nancy Drew as well. Pretty much all CW shows are ending now cause I think it got sold and split off. It feels like an end of era not just for Riverdale but in a way for CW as well.
I LOVE THE SONG. And the animation is just chef's kiss. You put in a lot of work into this and it's so impressive. I mean do people still give this level of content on youtube? This is so good and brilliant. Bravo!
It also references „Tom Baker survives april”, which is one of my fav youtube videos ever
This show, god it had so much potential in season 1. I remember being really impressed and I was so sick of the craziness of Pretty Little Liars so I thought Riverdale was finally something solid to watch. lmao that naivety though. I gave up on the show early season 3, but I stuck with your videos for all these years. Thank you for all the time you put into making these, and sitting through one batshit dumpster fire of a show so we didn't have to. The truly good thing that came out of it was your channel being what it is today!
As someone who experienced this show solely through these videos (and i've seen every one) I thank you for your service
the song at the end is amazing!!! great work guys. thanks for suffering through Riverdale all these years so we didn't have to Alex :)
the way i’m actually emotional over this…i’ve never watched a single episode but i’ve seen all of your riverdale videos so i’m strangely attached to the show😭
It's crazy that Riverdale is over. I found your channel because of Riverdale. It truly is an end of an era. Thank you Alex for the hard work and the songs. Anytime Archie took off his shirt, my head would start singing your song about Archie's abs.
The last musical is a real tear-jerker. Thank you for blessing our ears. A very beautiful end of an era.
Stuck with you throughout. It was an honor to ride through the Riverdale waters with you, Alex.
6 years.. man I was a freshman in high school just like the characters when the show came out and when Alex started his videos. I remember dressing up as Jughead for Halloween my sophomore year. 😂 I’m a junior in college now. I can’t believe I stuck through this whole time (Alex’s videos, I stopped with the show about 8-10 episodes into season 4 if I recall correctly). ❤ Much love to you all, and thanks for 6 years of this Alex.
I'm not crying. You're crying! I've never watched a single Riverdale episode but I've watched all of your videos about it, and everything else of course. I love your content, no matter what. But Riverdale will be missed.
That music video is fantastic. No better way to end a era. Great job, everyone!
I just binge-watched your entire Riverdale playlist; this video is not part of the playlist tho, don't know if you forgot lol. BUT! Point is, you helped me experience the whole thing without even seeing a single episode. It was wacky and crazy, but it's still a memorable show and your jokes helped me see that, instead of completely criticizing the shit out of it, you kind of play with the issues and make it seem goofy and maybe even fun. Thanks for the videos man! I'm happy your channel is doing so good now because of this crazy show lol. I still watch your videos, and I'll be around for probably as long as you're gonna be around. So yeah 👍🏾
I'm actually so emotional watching this video. It feels like the end of an era. I have watched the show exclusively with you since season 3 Alex. Thank you for your service and the animators for the wonderful animations at the end. Goodbye Riverdale ❤
This really does feel like the end of an era. I've never watched a single episode of Riverdale, but I've followed it religiously through all of your videos and thus had hours of entertainment and laughs. Thank you for bringing this insane show to us who lack the time to go down the rabbit hole ourselves!
I binge watched all of your Riverdale video's in less than 24 hours.
The end of an era. Your initial video essay was on my recommended page all those years ago when you first talked about Riverdale and it was amazing to see you grow as a creator through time. Proud of ya, Alex!
This video was glorious. Thank you for watching Riverdale and for providing us with such good entertainment, Alex. Your humour and animations, the musical numbers, everything you did is so iconic. Props to you and all the artists involved. Y'all are amazing.
Riverdale will forever be iconic, one way or another.
Binge watching this video series and getting that medley of all the songs Alex wrote for this show was absolutely amazing. Seeing his development as a creator through a single playlist then it all capped off with a song that had more thought put into it than Kevin’s character throughout every season is so fun to see. We may never get another Riverdale, but we’ll always have it. And these videos.
THE END OF AN ERA! Thank you Alex for keeping us entertained with these videos over the years😂
This. Was. Insane. what a finale of an era. your Riverdale videos were ICONIC and you finished it all with a BANG. I can't believe it's over now. Though I know that me and thousands others will come back to rewatch these videos and reminisce in the insanity and beauty. Also, fucking props to the production effort which went into this video. Just damn wow, what a masterpiece. Thank you, Alex
That musical at the end was a million times better than the series finale episode! This is how you say goodbye!! Incredible incredible work, Alex!!
This is it, end of an era, accidentally bumped into this show when I was only 16 and ending it at 22, and realizing how much better it was b4 this, I’m not sure if life will ever be the same again
BRAVO SIR! Thanks for sitting through this insane show so we didn’t have to. We’ll never forget your service
i've been watching your riverdale videos since 2018, and i've seen the show vicariously thorough your recaps, alex
thank you for your dedication, effort, and losing your sanity so we don't have to. it's been fun seeing you grow as a content creator!
Thank you for all those years of you following this show! Even after I stopped watching Riverdale, I still stayed caught up through you're very entertaining videos so thank you!!
Through this whole season, I was just thinking "Oh, jeez, I can't wait for Alex's videos!" and watching the last episode, I was more excited about your finale of this wild ride than the actual series finale. Thank you for the last musical we needed from Riverdale (not that we needed the original ones but here we are). It felt great not to walk alone this insanely ridiculous road so thank you for that.
I actually got emotional at the end of your video!
Can’t believe we’ll never have another Alex Meyers Riverdale video ever again.. 😢
Found you through that first Riverdale animated video, stuck with you throughout the insanity even though I dropped the show mid-season 3. Thanks for keeping us all informed and appraised of the insanity.
That Alex Meyers lore dump at the beginning caught me off guard
Also I will miss this series so much 😢.... not riverdale, but watching it vicariously through Alex. Its certainly been a time.
That musical's quality is so good, the different type of animation in it, you're amazing Alex. Thank you for enduring Riverdale for so long to make us laugh so much. I'm happy that your channel keeps growing because you deserve some recognition for this great work you're doing.
End of an era. The first video I saw from your channel was a Riverdale video, because I watched the first season back then and was really hooked. Now we are 2023 and I watch every single video of you, but the Riverdale videos were always the highlight. I will miss it, not gonna lie
That animation at the end was great Alex!! Also, the Portal song inspiration hahaha
i gotta say, that musical section near the end was hilarious and it seemed like you had a lot of fun making it. thank you for these videos and i can't wait for you to cover the inevitable streaming-exclusive reboot named Riverdale: A Totally Regual Show or something bizarre like that
This is coming out the day before I leave for college. It feels like an appropriate send-off. Thank you Alex, you've always made me laugh and smile.
Alex, I’m. It sure how I found your Riverdale videos six years ago (I never watched the show 😊) , but I have looked forward to them ever since. In that time, I have moved countries, gotten married, had a baby…and your videos still bring me joy! Looking forward to more!
gotta say, something good did come out of Riverdale. I found Alex's videos. honestly alex, you've made me laugh at times it's been really hard to, and despite the jokes, reflect on myself when I need to. This is the end of an era, but it's certainly not the end of me watching your videos. Thank you for the six years of entertainment, here's to many more 🍾🥂
I just binge watched all of your Riverdale videos before finally watching this finale and I gotta say you have never failed to entertain me throughout the six long years that I’ve been keeping up with your content and especially your Riverdale vids. Thank you Alex and rest in peace Riverdale.
OMG, the puppets!!!! 😍
That musical number was better than all 7 seasons of the show put together. 🥰
Thank you Alex Thank you Alex for venturing like a war reporter into the deep tides of Riverdale for all these years.Thanks to you, we were able to closely study the strange and unpredictable animals that are the characters of Riverdale, without having to approach them too close.
I started watching your videos my first year of college in 2017. Now I've graduated, been working for 2 years, and have a baby on the way. I gave up on this show around season 4, but thanks for pressing on and protecting us from the nightmares, and all the laughs and sobbing along the way. We can now all collectively move on with our lives, free from the demon that was Riverdale
