I posted on here a couple weeks ago, nervous about the status of legitimacy of my tickets. Well, good news, I got the tickets safely transferred to me from my family member.
However, the tickets came transferred through tickettransfer.com and already have the barcode. It looks exactly like how it would in Ticketmaster, but I can't save my tickets to wallet or anything. Will these still work??
Yesterday, I was given some thought on why S5 is so significantly stark in contrast from all the other seasons, and what could've been done better. So... I decided to piece together what I think could've been season 5.
•I would've kept the whole "post apocalyptic," religious hysteria route we were going. At the end of S4, the town is literally split apart, but in S5, it's suddenly completely patched and life is "normal." We can keep the holes being patched up, but add some more military presence outside of the gated area. Instead of the WSQK being the main news source, the town would be gathered in church to hear whatever the military had to say. This allows for us to pick up with the satanic panic from last season, and slightly raises the stakes.
•Make Holly the ONLY child to be taken, never introduce Derik. This is completely re-routing a major plotline in 5, but this plotline added too much for new characters in the last season. Holly has always been present, and notices when things are out of place (Ex: S3, she notices the trees moving from the Mind Flayer). This allows Mike and Nancy to direct much of their focus onto Holly, meaning that Vecna can target then and their loved ones much easier. Holly can be young Will's "replacement," but she doesn't acquire powers. Mr. Whatsit stilke exists, but only for Holly, no other children. 5 is supposed to resolve previous problems, not add a million more to keep the audience entertained.
•More death. Sounds morbid, but I think about the one picture of literally every character that season at the WSQK. It seemed like the Duffers did NOT want to kill off anyone, which I honestly think we could've used. Even writing someone off could've been beneficial. Kali dying made perfect sense, but having no one else expect a few military men die is unlike stranger things. They could have had Vickie die in the hospital when a demogorgan came, protecting Robin. Someone should've died in the Upside Down or been seriously injured. It felt like there was no worry or tension that the beloved characters were going to die bc they had SO MUCH plot armor. Hell, I'm shocked the military woman +whose name I cannot remember) didn't die. I think Ted and Karen should've died in the hospital, at least after Karen tells Mike who Mr. Whatsit is.
•Vecna utilizing powers. This could've made season five much more interesting AND scary. Vecna could've used more psychological warfare like he did on Hopper. That one scene of his "shooting" El, was one of the scenes that had the highest tension and stakes the entire season. Characters we could've seen it with:
-Joyce: Vecna placing the blame of Will's disappearance on her. Claiming it's her fault that Will's why he is the way he is.
-Mike: showing him false visions of what happened to Holly
-Lucas: anything to do with Max
-Dustin: Eddie ofc
Anything that could've weakened our characters enough for the audience to care that they may lose or die.
•Direct confirmation of El being alive. I'll be honest, I hated that they left it so open-ended. Not only that but I hated that the only other choice, Millie claimed, was El to get married. I would've had El seem like she's still in the Upside Down, but at the last minute of the episode, we focus in on Hopper's cabin door. The door opens a bit (three inches), then further, revealing El is alive. And hopper knows it as well.
There's a LOT more I could and would change but I'd have to think of it. Thoughts???
I'm tired of people claiming that TLOAS is an objectively "bad" album. When it comes to the topic of Showgirl, there's a LOT of mixed feelings about it. Some love it, some hate it, some are indifferent.
As we've had more time to sit with the album, I've decided that I quite enjoy it. I think the production on this album is very unique compared to Taylor's other works, and is fun!
The one thing that I see people criticize Showgirl the MOST about is the lyricism. And while I agree with some of the critiques that the lyrics can be "cheesy," I don't think it makes it a bad album. I feel like this album definitely tapped into Taylor's happy, dorky side that we saw similar to in Lover.
While this album isn't by any means Taylor's best work imo, I don't think that it's "bad." I do think, however, it is below Taylor's capability levels and it's more comparable to modern pop music that is currently being released.
Anyways, Showgirl is a fun, well-done album that I think will end up getting the Lover treatment in a few years.
Hey y'all!! For ~7 years I've been searching for the (authentic) Sanshee Fredbear plush and cannot find a genuine one ANYWHERE.
I've looked on eBay, mecari, etc. And they're all so expensive😭. Does anyone know any good places for secondhand fnaf merch? I've been dying to get my hands on this little guy and have not been able to.
Hi!! A family member of mine lost the Ticketmaster war for Olivia Rodrigo, so they ended buying tickets on gotickets.
I've never heard of gotickets and have only used Seatgeek or stubhub for resellers. Can anyone confirm if this website is legit? I'm terrified we got scammed
