Comics Vs Show: How Archie and the Gang Have Changed
Season 2 of #Riverdale is officially underway, and between the dark mysteries and steamy ships, it's safe to say that Archie and the Gang have grown up. The show keeps the light-hearted humor that the comics contained, but adds its own film noir flair that keeps us on the edge of our seat waiting for the next episode. But while Riverdale continuously pays homage to the Archie comics, there's no question that the characters have diverted from the source material in more ways than one. And with Season 2 undoubtedly bringing even more twists, let's take a look at how the characters have changed from comics to screen.

The Lone Wolf Prophecy Is Actually Referring to Cersei Lannister
The Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones was a massive one. Between the meeting of almost all of our main characters, a shocking character death, and a startling, game-changing revelation, the finale did not disappoint. As is to be expected with Thrones, one of the biggest and most important moments was one of the more subtle ones. Near the end of the episode during a heartfelt moment between Sansa Stark and Arya Stark, Sansa recalls the words that their father used to say:

'Game of Thrones': Why Arya and Sansa Should Be Working Together
It's hard to believe that the Season 7 finale of #GameofThrones is less than a week away. With #HBO's hit show quickly wrapping up the season, a lot of loose ends are being tied. Alliances are being made, reunions being held, and while there is much cause for excitement, there is one particular arc that has many fans upset. The reunion between #SansaStark and #AryaStark is not what fans were hoping for. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Instead of these two incredible characters joining together to create a dynamic duo, they are at each other's throats. And while much of this is Littlefinger's doing, this story arc could have been avoided. And it should have. Pitting the Stark sisters against each other is one of the most disappointing plots of the show.

4 Reasons Why We Need to Stop Being So Hard on Theon Greyjoy
If we know anything about HBO's Game of Thrones, it's that no character on this show is perfect. Everyone has their flaws, and as soon as we think we have an idea about who the good guys and bad guys are, something happens to completely turn the tables. However, one character that the fans collectively have a love/hate, (or at the very least a pity/hate) relationship with is Theon Greyjoy.

Feminism Has Finally Reached Westeros in Season 7 of 'Game of Thrones'
Season 7 of HBO's hit fantasy show, Game of Thrones is promised to be the biggest yet, and so far, it is not a disappointment. With long-awaited meetings and reunions soon to be underway, along with the biggest battles we've seen yet, there's no confusion as to why fans are so excited. But the most exciting thing about the season? One word: women. The ladies of Westeros are finally being empowered in a way that we have never seen before. In fact, in ways that are quite uncharacteristic for the world we've come to have a love/hate relationship with. Many of our main and even secondary female characters are shining in new ways. Leading armies, ruling the world of politics, exacting justice and more, women are dominating Game of Thrones right now. And it's about time.

Why 'Game of Thrones' Season 7 Will Make or Break the Starks
"Ah, the Starks, quick tempers, slow minds." While Littlefinger's sentiment doesn't always ring true, there are, unfortunately, a few too many examples where it does. The Starks have borne some of the most honorable characters in Game of Thrones, characters that may have made noble decisions, but ones that ultimately led them to their demise.

'Game of Thrones' Creators Reveal the Secrets Behind Arya and Brienne's Sparring Match
Amidst murmurs of sloppy writing and incredulously quick land/sea/raven travel from disgruntled viewers, one thing that is undeniably impressive about Season 7 of Game of Thrones was the jam-packed memorable fight and battle scenes. Girl power was very much in the forefront and that could not be better demonstrated than the thrilling duel between Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) in "The Spoils of War".
