Is Arrow About to Make This Popular Fan Theory Come True?
Arrow's newest episode was an eventful one. Not only did Season 7's overarching storyline take some major leaps forward, "Spartan" also dropped some pretty great cameos for hardcore DC fans. This episode teased the prospect of seeing both Green Lantern John Stewart and the Metal Men one day join the Arrowverse.
Maybe these cameos will never amount to anything. But we can dream, right? Here's a closer look at the significance of these teases and what it could mean for the Arrowverse after Arrow wraps up at the end of the year.
Green Lantern John Stewart
In the traditional DC Universe, John Stewart is one of several Earthlings to wear a Green Lantern ring. An ex-military man and current architect, John is among the most disciplined members of the Green Lantern Corps. He's also among the most popular Green Lanterns of them all, thanks in no small part to his starring role in the Justice League animated series.
This Game of Thrones Theory May Change the Course of the Final Season
This theory post contains speculation for Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 3, and spoilers for episode 2, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms."
If there's one Game of Thrones character who's shown a real knack for making his way in the world and playing the War of the Five Kings to his advantage, it's Bronn. This once humble mercenary has managed to work his way up the ranks, befriending the Lannister brothers, earning the title "Ser Bronn of the Blackwater" and even becoming the only person in living memory to wound a dragon.
The Season 8 premiere suggested Bronn might play more of an antagonistic role in the final season. Bronn has been dispatched to Winterfell by Queen Cersei, ordered to kill both Tyrion and Jaime. But maybe the question shouldn't be "Will Bronn betray his friends?" but rather, "Is Bronn the key to saving Westeros?" Here's why we think Bronn may turn out to be one of the most important characters in Season 8.
