GFT Retrospective #71: Tales From Neverland: Tinkerbelle

Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster. Think happy thoughts, Ticketholders! You're going to need them for the next several weeks. As you attempt to fly, please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment at the bottom of this post, help out my ad revenue as you read, and follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest  Grimm  news on my never-landing content. Ticketmaster's Note:  From here onward, story becomes much more important because we're closing in on a veritable cluster of crossovers and event maxi-series, so I'll be relying more on the Zenescope Entertainment Wiki Chronological Reading Order resource than the Grimm Fairy Tales (Comics) Wikipedia page  I had been using, as it accounts more for publication order than continuity. Tales From Neverland #1: Tinkerbelle Remember when Belle was a one-dimensional, jealous, slutty villain of circumstance and necessity with

Anime Spotlight #40: Date A Live

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Animeister Today, we're talking about Date A Live , a light-novel (though you wouldn't know it from the short title) written by Kōshi Tachibana that received a sequel, five spin-off manga , roughly five video games, and a five-season anime (because this series likes the number five, apparently) with two movies. I recently watched the final episode of the anime and decided to break my "I don't wanna read television" rule so I could give the movies (which still do not have dubs after all these years) a fair shake as well. Please give Just the Ticket a fair shake by remembering to  Become A Ticketholder  because you haven't already, leave your dating advice in the comments at the bottom of this post, help out my ad revenue as you read so my wallet doesn't invert from emptiness, and follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive up-to- Date  news on my content.

Just the Ticket #153: Moonfall

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. The Ticketmaster The moon is very important, Ticketholders! Its existence is the reason we have tides and currents and a day/night cycle, among other things. It's the proposed and eponymous cause of so-called "lunatic" behavior , which spawned werewolf/lycanthrope folklore. It's the namesake of the first workday of the week in several languages. And it's the chief plot mechanic in Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask , where it will crash into Termina and kill everyone if Link doesn't do a perfect three-day speedrun. Huh...maybe whoever vandalized that space shuttle in today's movie was right. Since everyone and their cat's brain-dead grandmother has reviewed this movie despite no one seeing it, and I've been reviewing Roland Emmerich movies this month,  and  I'd rather get into talking about the movie because I can't think of a good segue (again!) into "90s disaster movie king makes box office failur

Just the Ticket #152: Sideways (Comparative)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster In vino, veritas , Ticketholders! I mostly decided to do this comparative format for two reasons: it worked out pretty well when I did it for The Incredibles  but I hadn't done it with three versions of the same review (like my "recent" Greatest Hits vs. Archive comparisons in Ticket Stubs ), and I'm still trying to get the last of my SW@ Ticket Archive  content woven into Just the Ticket . If you've been following my content (and you really should  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, leave a comment at the bottom of this post to tell me what movie you have negative nostalgia for, help out my ad revenue as you read so I can feel like blogs will still be relevant next year, and follow me on  Tumblr ,  Reddit ,  Facebook , and  LinkedIn  to like what you see and receive the latest news on said content), then you know I hated Sideways . I didn't want to re-view it, let alone review it again, and

Zenescope - Omnibusted #20: Grimm Fairy Tales TPB Volume 9

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster Good morning, Ticketholders! Today, I've compiled a Zenescope - Omnibusted  collection of my GFT Retrospective  reviews for Volume Nine of  Grimm Fairy Tales , which is where I remember starting to hate Sela Mathers as a character (not counting  the time the writers killed her off , or the many times they turned her into a non-committal ditz to  introduce a new love interest  when  Robert  was perfectly fine in that role already, or the times they  turned her into a helpless damsel  when we know she has an entire magic book full of monsters and weapons at her disposal and can shoot magic energy lasers from her hands, or the time they  wasted a perfectly amazing new lead character with unexplored lore so they could bring her back to life, write her completely out of character, pressure her into failure, and reduce her to a female comic book character because the stakes got too high and all the men got killed ). If that rant didn'
