Riverdale star Camila Mendes doesn’t understand why the series is ridiculed for its absurdity when franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe are so adored.Speaking with Vulture about the show’s finale, the cast pointed out that Riverdale has often been the butt of many jokes due to its over-the-top storylines and plots. “When the absurdity of our show became a talking point, it was difficult,” said Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty. “It is ‘What the fuck?’ That’s the whole point. When we’re doing our table reads and something ridiculous happens, [Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa] is laughing because he understands the absurdity and the campiness.”Mendes, who plays Veronica, followed this up by comparing the show to the MCU, noting that both franchises are equally ridiculous. “Superhero movies are the main thing at the box office these days, and those are the most absurd stories you could imagine! You’ve got a fucking talking raccoon fighting aliens in space! No one’s like, ‘This makes no sense,'” she said. “We’re a comic book; it’s supposed to be fun and fictional and weird. If you want to watch a teen show where there’s just a bunch of kids in a high school dealing with relationship drama, there’s a lot out there.”Related: Riverdale Boss Reveals the Final Season’s Unexpected Villain
