>DC's "Dark Crisis" is now "Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths" >Boom & IDW are doing TMNT vs. Power Rangers 2
That's basically been the big news so far, but DC hasn't had their panel proper yet and neither has Marvel.
My friend is going. And that is it. Looks like dog shit down there. Nothing major. Studios got nothing to really promote that has already been seen online. Random thought, but about three years ago, during the 2019 SDCC, some guys was doing a poll for the people that were inside the Convention Center. On the last day, the majority of people who did the poll said that they were not coming back.
It’s a thing to go to every 3 to five years, there is so much going on you can only pick and choose a select things to see. For many people it’s just a once in a life time thing to see.awh2d
I can see the appeal, though. There was an exhibit at my local museum a few years back of Marvel movie props alongside original inked pages and covers of comics, and it was very cool to see that shit up close in person.
Don't know what to think about TDP now. Guess I have to watch season 4 to get a honest opinion. Not a fan of retconning or read the source outside the TV show.
Oh and it will come out in November this year as it was half expected.
If the "missing" S3 ending part will be added into Netflix, I hope they "fix" S1-3 animation, especially 1-2.
What's up with their new weird "NO STREAMING" policy? I get why they don't want life-stream weirdos doing their thing but not allowing any of the panels to be streamed or shown live is weird.
Maybe they want to keep content exclusive to the convention to attract more attendees? Which isn't it always sold out? I don't know. I just hate it when they show a trailer or clip at a convention and the rest of us never get to see it. It doesn't happen often though recently.
I feel like conventions are kind of outdated in the advent of livestreaming and video chat.
I know it was pandemic but yeah they're losing their touch. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all realized that with E3 when they could just run their own things.
I'm surprised these studios aren't trying to make their own yearly conventions like D23 or their own versions of Nintendo Directs. Why bother with SDCC? It has to be a nightmare to arrange and navigate.
It's a mess. I used to go years ago because I live in San Diego, but it got worse every year and now it's just a no-go zone to get anywhere near downtown for this portion of July. The worst thing is everyone's just clamoring to buy exclusive Funko Pops and see the latest advertising. I feel like you get a better experience actually seeing artists at Anime Expo. I used to see based Gris Grimly each year and have him sign stuff, but I wonder if he even goes anymore.
It's absolutely moronic how popular Funko Pops are. They're expensive and a waste of space. I have a feeling they aren't going to be valuable in twenty years.

I give it 2 years. MAX!
It's more costly and takes a hundred times more planning to arrange your own convention. Better to use an already established place, with an ensured amount of people going every single year to promote your shit.
Hasbro did their own con for a few years and they no longer try, because who the frick wants to vacation in Rhode Fricking Island? Which is another reason why doing your own convention is dumb, because it needs to be held somewhere where tourists actually want to go.
Also, ive spoken to a few exhibitors, artists, and have overhead people saying this year is like a regional convention. That it feels like Salt Lake City Comic Con than the world famous SDCC, and sales aren't that great.
I've noticed that there aren't as many people on the exhibitor floor or going to panels. For shit i used to line up two hours before and told they weren't allowing anymore people in, today i was just walking right in and half the room hadn't even filled up. Even during the panel, there were plenty of chairs open.
Was able to see Spongebob, Dragonprince, and later Solar Opposites.
Feels like 1990s SDCC, where i was able to see Disney panels without any problems and swing a housecat on the floor exhibitor without hitting anyone. Tomorrow is the beginning of the weekend and there's always more people on Friday traditionally, so maybe there's going to be more people showing up.
Well without E3 their content for this year in SDCC was shit. Usually when E3 happens Nintendo and the others make playable demos for their work in progress games but with no E3 they didn't bother and they needed to prepare like 1 year in advance for SDCC and people didn't know if SDCC 2022 was happening as late as January of this year.

>modern SD"CC" dies and becomes an actual comic con again.
It'd be nice. In reality though, it'd probably just die.
Sadly, true. There is a smaller con in San Diego that is like the old school Comic Con before it turned into this monstrous blob of a mess. San Diego Comic Fest is the name.
What are some other big legit comic cons still going? HeroesCon is about three hours from me, and from what I can tell, they have remained an actual comic con. I think Baltimore Comic Con has too.
I always go here and make bank and it only costs $40 for a table.

I've had good experience at Salt Lake City FanX. The locals seem grateful for a nerd convention there and also have money to buy stuff.
I went to the Hall H Masters of the Universe panel because it was empty and there was nothing to do. Kevin Smith was there spouting BS aboutovong MOTU, and he also mentioned that people call his version of Skeletor "cuck Skeletor". Dolph Lundgren was there and Milton from Office Space who plays Cringer.
Also William Shatner appeared and is going to be in Season 3 I guess.
This place is hell on Earth. I went in 2018 and 2019 and never will go again. It was probably ok 12 years ago but MCU and the big studios completely fricked it up the ass and it's just one giant commercial designed to radicalize fanboys.
Not this year. Last couple times I went, it didn’t seem as fun to me
any comicbooks news?
>DC's "Dark Crisis" is now "Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths"
>Boom & IDW are doing TMNT vs. Power Rangers 2
That's basically been the big news so far, but DC hasn't had their panel proper yet and neither has Marvel.
yes I'm waiting to suck Dan Slott's wiener. The line is huge and no wonder, dude's great
i'm at my house does that count

Doesn’t surprise me. 2018 and 2019 seemed kinda lame to me.
Gotham Knights when?
Tiny toons when?
Gotham Knights in a few minutes
Tiny Toons tomorrow at I think 10 PST
And the panel about Batman and Superman new series?
Don't know
I live in San Diego but can’t make it to Con. I heard Hilton Hotel Staff is on strike also.
>I heard Hilton Hotel Staff is on strike also.
Yep. You're correct.
That's really bad for the con. Aren't some panels being held in the Hilton too?
Not sure. But yeah that is not good for image as well.
they went on strike but it was quickly resolved
That’s cool they won. Marvel + DC = LOVE
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
yeah I'm there fricking your mom
Frick SDCC, I'm staying on Cinemaphile for the weekend of pain.
I got my wiener sucked at the Ken Penders Lara-Su Chronicles SDCC Booth. AMA
How was the BJ?
Pretty good as far as they usually go. His mustache tickled a bit
I stopped going in 2012. Marvel movies ruined the vibe
It’s a thing to go to every 3 to five years, there is so much going on you can only pick and choose a select things to see. For many people it’s just a once in a life time thing to see.awh2d
Marvel booth needs to die. It’s just a display of their movie props and just causes traffic jams
So it's just basic Marvel being Marvel.
I can see the appeal, though. There was an exhibit at my local museum a few years back of Marvel movie props alongside original inked pages and covers of comics, and it was very cool to see that shit up close in person.

Is Thursday usually previews?
What's up with their new weird "NO STREAMING" policy? I get why they don't want life-stream weirdos doing their thing but not allowing any of the panels to be streamed or shown live is weird.

I give it 2 years. MAX!

Never heard of this guy but just looking him up, he seems cool

Thanks for the answer.

It's not big, but it is more like a Comic Con than the mess at the Convention Center.
Thats cool though. If I didn't live way over in NC, I'd like to go. I'd like to just hit up a comic con again in general.
Nice! I'll check out Heroescon and Baltimore as well.
I always go here and make bank and it only costs $40 for a table.
I've had good experience at Salt Lake City FanX. The locals seem grateful for a nerd convention there and also have money to buy stuff.
No one worth mentioning.
do they sellfan comics in american comic cons?
no.
Somone ask Feige why they changed Kamala's powers
