Dungeons and Dragons and More
I think now is a good time to talk about who I consider to be the worst villain in the series, Hiram Lodge. Now I will say, Hiram is more effective as a villain when he is absent from the plot. In the first season, he exists outside of the plot. He is in jail... Continue Reading →
Veronica Lodge I will continue my analysis for Veronica’s character by discussing the obsession she has with her father. It is a mutual obsession that they share that makes up all of her personality in the later seasons. In the first season, Veronica and her father have this estranged relationship. Hiram’s actions has left them... Continue Reading →
the Queen's Gambit PosterMat I just watched The Queens Gambit on Netflix and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Normally I am disappointed by the original content as it seems to be cheap copies of better media out there, but this is not the case with this show. If you have not... Continue Reading →
I will continue my ran about this show by focusing on Veronica Lodge. While her character isn’t incredibly unique, I believe she experiences the most growth in the first season.

He consistently falls in love with whatever character he is being SHIPed with for the week. When they inevitably break up,... Continue Reading →
After the first season of Riverdale, Archie’s character becomes very single note. He is a hero and will always act heroically. In later parts of the show, his character arc is more about his abs than any meaningful character development. Archie’s story is held back by the limitations of the narrative.

I will start this series with an analysis of the character Archie. Archie serves as the hero of the series. He has a strong sense of justice and is mostly altruistic in his actions. Archie is the perfect all-American all-star boy next door. He, like the other characters in the show that directly impact the... Continue Reading →
I will start my TV review Series with the show Riverdale. If you have not seen Riverdale, it is a dark teen drama loosely based on the Archie Comics. I do not know how faithful the adaptation and I will not use them in my analysis of the show. Instead, I will focus on how... Continue Reading →
