Riverdale is a popular TV show, now gearing up for its third season, that found a home on The CW. However, some fans may not realize that the show is actually based on the well-known Archie comics. Konbini.com explains that the Archie Comics was brought to life in 1941, and have since seen reboots, one-shots, and parallel universes. In 2016, Riverdale showed up to put another spin on the classic story. Of course, like nearly every adaption, some things were changed, left out, or added. The most notable differences can be found in the cast of main characters.
Archie Andrews
Archie is the leading man in the show and comics. The Game of Nerds claims that many of his stronger personality traits stayed the same, such as being a popular good

While the show heavily features a romance between Jughead and Betty, Konbini.com explains that in the comics Juggy wasn’t very interested in dating anyone. This rebooted Jughead shares the same sense of humor and fashion sense as that of his comic book version, and The Game of Nerds believes all of his changes were for the best.
Betty

He’s the antagonist of the comics, and just doesn’t get why Archie is so popular. However, in the show, he doesn’t appear to possess the same jealousy that is found in the comics.
Cheryl Blossom
According to The Game of Nerds, Cheryl Blossom “actually only occasionally appeared in the same issues as Archie and the gang and largely maintained her own solo series set in the same universe for much of her history.” While she is very prominent in the show, most of her personality traits came straight from her comic book counterpart. She is still a selfish and manipulative person who loves cherry cola.
Kevin Keller
Kevin Keller is the newest addition to the comics and is quite similar -- personality wise -- to his small-screen counterpart. The main differences lie in his family life, according to The Game or Nerds. In Riverdale, Kevin is known by everyone in town as the son of the sheriff, while in the comics he is an army brat.
Josie
I really like Jerry for many different reasons. He is a very brave and heroic kid. When it truly comes down to showing off his personality and proving he is heavy hearted he always pulls through and will never let you down. He stands up to the bullies, Archie and his gang, and always shows his values by protecting and helping his friends out. He is overall a good and pure
There are many similarities and differences between the story “The Most Dangerous Game” and the episode of Gilligan's Island that we watched. Some similarities include: someone is being hunted, the setting is similar, and both victims get away in the end. Some differences include: the moods of the stories, the strategies that are used by the huntees, and how the hunter got to the island.
In 1967, Tom Stoppard wrote his famous play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead after getting the idea while watching a production of Hamlet. Four years later, Douglas Adams got the idea for his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy while lying drunk in a field in Innsbruck, Austria. In 1978, he would use this idea to produce a BBC radio show, which would be published as a novel in 1979. How can these two works be compared in their use of satire and cynicism?
Tea Cake's courtship was different from that of Logan and Jody. Janie's first marriage was more of a contract of sale between Nanny and Logan than anything else. Janie's second marriage was an escape from the first one. Moreover, it was based on disappointed dreams. Jody courted her by talking about himself and his dreams. Tea Cake, on the other hand, pursued Janie with a more romantic flair. Also, he allowed her equal footing in negotiating the terms of their relationship.
Janie was expecting to find love through her marriage with Logan, but instead discovered that marriage does not make love when Logan tries to force her to work. Janie meets Jody one day on Logan’s farm, and she believes that he will show her the world, and love, so she marries him, and leaves Logan. She soon discovers that all he wants to be is a big voice, and has only married her for his image. After Jody dies, Janie meets Tea Cake at her store; and, although he does not have a lot of money, she truly believes that he loves her, and will fulfill her life-long search for happiness.

On one end of the spectrum lays Superman, an alien who from birth is comparable to god, and on the opposite side lays Lex Luthor, a genius human who comes from nothing and created a financial empire. Superman
King made his first published appearance in 1965. His story, “I Was a Teenage Grave Robber”, which was only about 6000 words in length. The story was published in a magazine named Comics Review.
In the last fifty years television has evolved tremendously, especially sitcoms. For example, in 1969 The Brady Bunch aired a show that featured two broken families coming together to form a seemingly ‘perfect’ blended one. The television show emphasized the importance of appreciating your loved ones, as well as surmounting challenges that teenagers face in everyday life. In 2009, the perhaps ‘modern’ Brady Bunch aired on ABC, Modern Family. This show focuses on three families, and highlights non-traditional families, illustrating that there is no ‘perfect’ family. In the forty nine year gap between the two programs, social and cultural issues such as gay marriage, adoption, and multicultural marriages have made
Society favors the outlaw hero because we relate with that character more. We see ourselves more so in the outlaw hero than in the official hero. The outlaw hero has the child like talents that most of us wish we had as adults. To civilians it may seem that the outlaw hero lives more of a fantasy life that we all wish to have. Superman’s image has remained unchanged over the years. A blue suit accompanied by boots, a belt and cape have always been the Superman style, along with the Superman emblem on his chest. Superman’s real name is Kal-El, a descendant of the Kryptonian family of the house of El, with his father known as Jor-El and mother Lara. Krypton was discovered to be in the last seconds of life due to the coming supernova of its sun by Kal-El’s father. The other members of Krypton did not believe Jor-El could not tell others of his answers and examinations. Jor-El promised that neither he nor his wife would leave and with every last possible choice eliminated, Jor-El would send his newborn son to the planet Earth. Kal-El then crash landed into the care of Jonathan and Martha Kent, two farmers in Kansas. He then adopted the Kent family name,...
YES! YES! YES! Both of my favorite tv shows are on. I truly love watching many shows and for many reasons too.My favorite types of shows are fantasy, mystery, and action. But if I had to choose two tv shows it will be Stranger Things and Riverdale. The two shows Stranger Things and Riverdale have somethings in common, however, they also have some differences too.
Often times in our life, we may come across a lifestyle of a character from a fictional book, movie or tv show, that is different than our owns. It could be a life that we would dream to have or a life that we could not possibly imagine having. Focusing on the childhood aspects of a lifestyle, my young self would often compare my childhood to the protagonist in one my favorite cartoons (“Fairly Odd Parents”) Timmy Turner. Timmy’s childhood was a lifestyle that enthralled me from how similar yet different it was from my own.
In the world of comics, two main publishers dominate: DC Comics and Marvel Comics. DC Comics promotes superheroes such as Batman, a vigilante who began fighting crime solely to avenge the untimely death of his parents. He possesses no unique superhuman ability, other than a substantial fortune inherited from his late parents. Yet, the public in the Batman comics still adore their hero. In contrast, Marvel Comics promotes superheroes such as the X-Men, a team of superheroes who possess the X-Gene, a DNA mutation that gives each member a different ability.
When you think of comic books, what do you think of? If you were to ask your parents they would probably tell you Superman or Spiderman, maybe even Batman or Wonder Woman. Some might mention something more, something that appears to be a comic book, but once opened is revealed to be a work of literary genius; a comic such as Watchmen, or perhaps even V for Vendetta. An author and artist of renowned recognition and admiration wrote both masterpieces.
All novels and movies have heroes who struggle to save the day. No hero can go through their journey alone, however. Heroes and sidekicks appear in multiple stories, novels, and movies and are responsible for having each other’s backs in resolving the conflict of the plot. Heroes and sidekicks are seen throughout the world in fiction and nonfiction, and they are viewed as the people who go through a crazy journey, but end up saving the day. In the beginning, heroes and sidekicks strive together because of their polarizing personalities and their disagreements. However, their disagreements turn into arguments and they are split one way or another. Heroes and sidekicks always reunite because of their belief in the journey and that they
