User blog:Nightslayer2/Ideas For Season 3 of Riverdale

Here are some ideas that I have for the third season of Riverdale

Vigilante Justice-With both the police and the gangs firmly is Boss Lodge's pocket, nobody is going to have any official protection should something happen to them. Seeing the town golden boy Archie Andrews arrested for a crime he didn't commit will create tension in the town and make the public distrust the police. Inspired by Archie's mishandled Red and Dark circle moments, individuals will craft vigilante identities for themselves to protect their town and loved ones. I would love to see Cheryl don her red outfit, bow, and arrow again because she would remind of Thea Queen/Speedy from Arrow. As a result of this, Boss Lodge will be forced to hire criminals, hitmen, and serial killers (like Mr. Cooper/The Black Hood) to deal with these vigilantes and will get to the point where Lodge can't control them.

Hiram Lodge Reforms-I was thinking we could borrow elements from Life With Archie into the show with Fred Mirth appearing as a corrupt executive. Lodge works with Mirth to convert a part of Riverdale into a shopping mall until Veronica finds some documents that proves that the Lodge family owns some form of land which prompts Hiram to withdraw from the deal with Mirth, angering him. I would love to see another episode where Archie and Jughead are caught in a mining accident because of Mirth and Veronica, who performs her spoiled rich girl act after Archie breaks up with her, snaps out of it due to refusing to pay for something at a hair salon in California. Hiram then shows remorse for all the people he has hurt, especially when Hermione dies as a result of Hiram's actions (this is a reference to Afterlife With Archie) and works hard to become a good person. I would like to see Mirth retaliate by framing Lodge for bribing officials of the government (like he did to Veronica from Life With Archie) and Veronica hires a private detective (the same one that Hiram hired in the comics) to clear her father's name. I think Mr. Lodge has some good in him because of what he did to Nick St. Clair when he learned Nick tried to rape his daughter. Lodge would reform, but still be manipulative.

The Jones Family-I would like to see FP's family like Jughead's mom and Jellybean. The entire storyline would be the Jones boys struggling to reconnect with the Jones girls and seeing if the Jones girls will adjust to the Jones boys' lifestyle of managing the Serpents.

Betty's Brother Is An FBI Agent-In the comics, Betty's brother works as a secret agent for the United States government. I would like to see that, in this version, Betty's brother is a member of the FBI and that he only assigned Chic, his informant on crime in Riverdale, to pretend to be him in order to prevent the Coopers from looking for him. Charles Smith would believe that the ends always justifies the means and be someone that Betty asks to come to Riverdale to combat Veronica's father.

Introduce Some Families Of Archie's Gang-Introduce Harper Lodge, Veronica's cousin. She is a teenage girl with long black hair with pink highlights. She visits Riverdale where she's considering attending Riverdale High. She is physically disabled and requires the use of a wheelchair to get around it. I think she can become Reggie's love interest and Reggie gets drawn in the Lodge mafia world similar to what Archie did which is why Archie tries to get him out of it. For Mr. Weatherbee, introduce his niece Wendy "WW" Weatherbee. first, Veronica thought she was too quirky, but Betty liked her. She likes to call herself WW. She likes being an individualist. She belongs to an entomology club, has an odd sense of fashion, and keeps all sorts of pets, including a tarantula named Tara and an iguana named Ike. She also has her own website of her likes and dislikes. Once the boys found out that she was Mr. Weatherbee's niece, they avoided her. The key factor to Wendy's character is that despite her attractiveness, she has a hard time finding a date due to her relationship with the principal. I think she could be a potential love interest for Archie after he breaks up with Veronica. Archie and Wendy breakup and Archie gets back together with Veronica.

Bring In New Characters-Introduce the Cabots. The teens will have plenty of pep to fight Hiram, but not a lot of resources. Veronica then contacts one of the rich families that she's on good terms with, the Cabots, in order to gain some capital against her father. That person would be Alex Cabot III, who would be Josie's ex, and someone Veronica dates after her breakup with Archie until the two get back together. Introduce Raj Patel and his sister, the Indian Veronica, to show diversity and make them like in the comics. Raj would be a jock like Archie and be an amateur filmmaker wanting to make a documentary on Riverdale, he tries to expose Hiram which gets him into trouble.

What do you guys think?
