After all these years, hundreds of editions, decades of waiting...supposedly we have the answer. And it's a surprise, at least to me! Archie has proposed to Veronica.
Probably one of the most famous love triangles in pop-culture seems to be coming to an end, or is it? Reports claim that in the next issue Archie will propose to Veronica, as Betty looks on in tears. After years of being tossed about, stomped on and playing second fiddle to the high-maintenance Veronica, Archie is still choosing her over the quiet, sweet, and understanding Betty.
I must ask if by choosing Veronica, the comic team is deliberately going against conventional norms. Isn't the shy, sweet one supposed to win in the end? Not the abnoxious, rich, popular one?
Also does Archie's proposal mean the end to a comic series that has been running for 7 decades?
I think not.
The controversial upcoming issue is just "The Proposal". We have no clue what the end will be. Betty still may have something to contribute, or perhaps Archie may be hit with a flash of lightening. In any case I always thought Betty deserved better.
Whatever the case with this "proposal" - I just don't think the fat lady is done her song yet ;)
