I-Archie Comics kutsha nje ibhengeze ukuba izakuphinda iphindaphinde esinye sezihloko zayo ezaziwayo, kwaye i-Intanethi iyavuya. Kukho into malunga UJosie kunye nePussycats loo nto yenza ukuba ithandwe nje njengeqela laseRiverdale kunye noSabrina, ukuba akunjalo, kwaye olo thando luchanekile. UJosie McCoy, u-valerie Brown ocingisisana ngokwenzululwazi no-tomboyish u-valerie Brown, kwaye u-ditzy (kodwa ngamanye amaxesha ubukrelekrele) u-blody melody valentine wayephila ubomi bentsha obuqhelekileyo-ngaphandle komculo wabo kunye neebhulashi ezithile ezinemfihlakalo kunye namandla angaphezu kwendalo. Ukusukela ngo-1963 de kwasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-80, uJosie kunye neqela lemigulukudu babesendleleni kwaye bejikeleze iRiverdale, abafundi abanomtsalane ngobuhle babo be-madcap.
Amantombazana amathathu ahlala ephawuleka ngokuphawulekayo kulo lonke; Ngokuqinisekileyo, abalandeli bebengenakuchonga ngokusombulula ii-capers kwii-cruise okanye ukufumanisa iinyawo zenkawu eziqalekisiweyo, kodwa banokuqonda ukuba kwakunjani ukuthatha isigqibo phakathi komdla wokhuphiswano okhuphisanayo kwaye uhlale unyanisekile kubuhlobo ngamaxesha anengxaki. Ngaba amaxesha obunzima eqela ayengakholeleki, ngenxa yokuba ayebandakanya imeko yeenkwenkwezi eziselula kunye nokuziphatha ngokubanzi? Ngokuqinisekileyo. Kodwa yiloo nto eyenze ukuba amabali abenomtsalane kangako-ukubhenela ngokwaneleyo kumda we-surreal ngoMgqibelo ekuseni, ikhathuni, amabali angenakubalwa kwi-Double Digests amashumi eminyaka emva kokuba irhoxisiwe, kunye nemvuselelo emfutshane kwiminyaka ye-90 eyabona utshaba lwamantombazana I-Alexandra Cabot iguqula ibe yintlanzi. (I-surreal isebenza ngakumbi kumabali kaJosie
kunokuba umntu unokucinga.)

Ngaphandle kokuthandwa kwePussycats, intiyo encinci yenziwa malunga neqela lamantombazana eliyintandokazi de kwaba yinkulumbuso ka-2001 UJosie kunye nePussycats , Ifilimu ebukhali, ehlekisayo ebeka uJosie, uValerie, kunye noMelody embindini wenkampani erekhodiweyo eqhuba iyelenqe lokucoca ingqondo. Nangona umthamo we-snark wawuphezulu kakhulu kunangaphambili UJosie Imizimba, imovie yayisawukhumbula ngentliziyo umoya ohlekisayo. Iingoma zazibambeka ngokuhlekisayo, abenzi bobubi babengekho mfutshane kwikhathuni, kwaye ubuhlobo bamantombazana babugxininiswa ngaphezu kwayo yonke into. I-mantra yaBahlobo kuqala, ibhendi yesibini inokuba yitshizi, kodwa sisibonakaliso esiqinileyo sokuhlekisa xa uxutywe nothando lukaJosie oluhlumayo kunye no-Alan M., umona ka-Alexandra wamantombazana, ukungakwazi kuka-Alexander njengomphathi webhendi, kunye nobubi obukhulu iyelenqe labangendawo.
Olona tshintsho lukhulu kwi-comos ye-ethos yoqobo-ukongezwa kwe-metanarrative, kunye nezalathiso ezibuyela kwinto yokuba, ewe, le bhanyabhanya isekwe kwikomikhi-inyuse isibheno sefilimu. Oku kunokuba ngathi ngumbono oguqukayo ngelo xesha, kodwa ngumda ogcwele ngoku, ovela kumabonwakude, kwiimuvi, nakwiikomikhi. Abalinganiswa abanjengo-Deadpool, owenza ukuba kufikelelwe kwimetanarrative kunye nokubhekiswa kwakhe rhoqo kwiitopiki zeencwadi ezihlekisayo, bangene kuluntu, kwaye ngelixa UJosie kunye nePussycats khange ifumane ukuthandwa okanye uthando ebelugunyazisiwe ngela xesha, ukuba bekuza kwenziwa okokuqala namhlanje, abantu abaninzi ngakumbi baya kuba bethathela ingqalelo.
Ngoku, ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi kamva, kukho i-fanbase ezinikeleyo kaJosie engazange iyeke ukucaphula i-movie okanye ukukhanukela iimpahla ezinje ngeengwe, imisila emide, neendlebe zeminqwazi. Ngo-Archie kunye neqela leqela lemigulukudu elihlaziya iidrama zeshishini lokuhlekisa njengoFiona Staples kunye neChip Zdarsky, kubonakala kufanelekile ukuba umnqweno wokwenza lula kweRiverdale kwandise ngakumbi.
Enye yezinto ezintle nge-Archie Comics kukusoloko benesibheno kuwo onke amaqela eminyaka. Inxalenye yoko inento yokwenza nokuphila ixesha elide kwabalinganiswa babo; abantwana baseRiverdale High bagqithile kubaculi abaninzi kunye nee-eras, kodwa iimvakalelo zabo zihlala zinjalo. Kwaye inxalenye yento ilula elula yelizwe likaVimba. U-Archie, Sabrina, kunye noJosie bonke abakwishumi elivisayo abakwishumi elivisayo bajamelana neemeko ezithile ezingaqhelekanga ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngabaphathi okanye iingxaki zehlabathi. Zizihlobo nje zabahlobo bonke abantwana abanqwenelekayo, kwaye ngenxa yoko bakuthanda ukuchitha ixesha kunye. U-Archie wangoku kunye noSabrina reboots bahambelana nayo. Nangona bekwazi ukubeka amagama kwizinto ezinokungachazwanga ngeminyaka yoo-1960- Ubungqingili bukaJughead , enye, okanye imeko kaKevin evulekileyo yesini-ezi ayisiyonto ehlekisayo. Ngomxube wabo wokuhlekisa okungenangqondo kunye nokunyaniseka xa kufikwa kubuhlobo kunye nobudlelwane phakathi kolutsha, akuzange kufuneke njalo. Zombini ezi zinto zazinokuthi zithathelwe ingqalelo xa uMarguerite Bennett noCameron DeOrdio babekwa njengababhali kunye UJosie uthotho; U-Bennett ufumene ukwamkelwa kwe-GLAAD ngomsebenzi wakhe wangaphambili kwaye ubhala ii-Bombshells ze-DC, ngelixa u-DeOrdio exubusha umbongo malunga nophawu oluthile lolonwabo uJosie kunye namantombazana azisa kwi-Entertainment Weekly, kugxilwe kubuhlobo kunye novuyo kunye nomculo. (Uthotho lomdwebi u-Audrey Mok unamagqabantshintshi oGcino lwee-Come kwi-resume yakhe.)
