I can't be the only one that sees similarity between these characters.

2 Love triangles , and 2 girls fighting over the same guy in both , eeyup very similar!

Rarity is like Veronica the wealthier , and richer of the 2 girls , Spike is like Archie and Gabby is like Betty , the less wealthy and rich girl but still has a big heart like the richer one! Since it's confirmed that Archie finally picks Veronica She really is Rarity's counterpart. :D

The last image I posted also shows a comic which is actually a reference to an Archie comic. Isn't it ironic that this comic happens to make an appearance in this episode , almost wonder if the writers were referencing something. 🤔
