I don't wanna create a new thread so I'll ask here. Is it worth it to pay to go to a comic con?
This is happening right next to the hotel I'm staying at this weekend. It ends tomorrow and I just found out about it today. Decided to walk there and check it out. There's a big hall that's free to everyone and some other stuff that's behind the pay wall (which I think is like $45 bucks). I don't know what's behind there besides meeting the actors who play Luke Cage, Killgrave, and some other agents of shield ones. Is there anything else in these things? They even had some random panels that were open to everyone, but to be honest were kind of boring.
As a side note I had fun just watching people's costumes even though I felt like an idiot because I only knew maybe a third of them, and I'm being generous. When I finally decided to ask someone who they were, because I thought she was Agent Smith from the Matrix, she said she just worked there, so I felt like a jackass and just kept to myself the rest of my time there. There were some really elaborate costumes though and I was surprised about the diversity of people there (I'm really ignorant about comic cons and e3s). Saw lots of cool deadpools and harley quinns (I think it was harley quinn even though it was red and black). I started seeing some Disney princesses and I was like WTF? Unexpected but pretty cool, even saw some Links, Fallout villain (I think), Predators and a Gamora/Starlord couple. I was surprised I didn't see anyone dressed as the more popular characters though (batman, spiderman, superman, wolverine, ironman, cap, etc).
Anyways, point is, is it worth it to pay? I'll probably go back tomorrow just to check people out again, but not sure I wanna shell out that money. I'm not really into meeting celebrities so is there something besides that when you pay?
