Lot In Common

Chapter 23

As you all know, I hate Bughead and here comes this chapter. There are going to be some reasons about why I hate them together.There’s so many more reasons to absolutely despise this couple. I could write a novel on why Bughead is literally the worst ship on television but it would be way too time consuming. So I have to try and condense my reasons for hating this couple and explain why Bughead is the weakest part of the show. Here are some reasons why I despise Bughead.

REASON 1:

Bughead is EXTREMELY OVERRATED:

This ship is so fucking overrated and overhyped. In fact, this is one of the major reasons why I hate Bughead. To be honest, it doesn’t deserve the attention and popularity it receives. Bughead is just another basic, boring, hetero White ship with no chemistry, no passion, no development, and is toxic as all hell. Why is this ship so well-liked and poplar by the fandom? I just don’t get it. They are so fucking boring and dull. They are by far the least interesting couple, canon and non-canon, in the entire show yet for some backwards ass  reason, the writers and RAS consistently force and shove this ship in our faces on a week to week basis. There are many other interesting, exciting, and dynamic couples on this show that deserve more attention recognition and screen time than Bughead does. Couples like Choni, Falice, Veggie, Barchie, Jeronica, the list goes on and on. Any other couple (canon and non-canon) deserves more attention than Bughead does. At this point, Bughead is probably the most overrated ship in television history. For such a ship that provides nothing to the show but fanservice and doesn’t bring anything exciting and nourishing to the series table, it’s so grandly overhyped. There are certainly other couples in TV and film that deserve so much more attention, recognition and kudos than Bughead. Why are they so overhyped and celebrated amongst the Riverdale fandom? Is it because Cole and Lili are a real life couple and are dating off screen? Is it because the Bughead fandom primarily consists of screaming teenaged girls who live through Betty and are living out their bad boy/good girl romance fantasies along with their Cole fantasies through Bughead? I just don’t get the hype surrounding this mediocre couple. There are plenty of other couples in television and film that have or have had way more chemistry and proper development than Bughead. With Bughead, there is literally none of the above. No chemistry, no passion, no excitement, no development. Bughead is one of the worst written couples in recent years but it gets so much attention from the fandom, the writers of Riverdale and the media. And I just can’t seem to understand how such a mediocre couple with no chemistry, with bad writing, and a serious lack of development could garner so much attention and became the “face” of Riverdale. The only reason why Bughead is even that popular in the first place is because of Cole Sprouse. That’s the truth. And even if the couple of Bughead has Cole Sprouse as half of the couple, it STILL doesn’t deserve the hype and attention that it receives.

Bughead are so BORING:

I’ve said it many times before and I will continue to repeat it. Bughead is the most boring couple in existence. They are so dull that every single time they are on my TV screen every Wednesday, I just want to either fall asleep or skip through their scenes. The lack of chemistry, passion and excitement in their relationship is what makes them the most boring couple ever. Even when they do so-called exciting stuff together or when they have drama, it’s still boring. Their investigative quests are boring. Their fights are boring. Their interactions are boring. Their romantic bullshit is boring. Their drama is boring. As if Bughead wasn’t boring enough as it is in the previous seasons, they are even more boring in season 3. In fact, Bughead are so boring that they have become a ghost couple and non-existent. Bughead has so obviously overstayed its welcome and their relationship has ceased to matter anymore. They served their purpose and there’s nothing else to do with them. And the writers know it. Otherwise, why would the writers choose to separate them so much or have them interact so much less this season in comparison to last season? Even when Bughead are acting all lovey dovey and couple-like, it comes across as incredibly forced. I see two friends trying to force a romantic connection that has ceased to exist. It’s time for the writers to cut the cord on this couple. When a couple on a show becomes boring, dull and insipid and an increasing number of viewers and fans alike mention this, then it’s really time to put an end to a couple.
