This is disappointing news...almost nothing will be live? I was wondering and looking forward to seeing how they would pull off live events on a larger scale than other online events, and that is my answer. It ain't happening.
Honestly, I'm kinda glad most of it isn't live. It means less chance for technical errors, or panels being Zoom Bombed depending on how they're doing things.
If that means they're already recorded to make it easier for everyone, including the guests who might now be stuck at home with family/kids, or getting back to actually filming, then so be it.
I doubt they are gathering people together to record the panels. That doesn't make sense. So they are doing it the same way panels and streams have been done during this pandemic. Everyone is at home and it's a video conference. That's how Amazon did The Boys panel a few days ago. So it would be just as easy to do it live as to record it.Doing it live makes it an event. Watching a recording just makes it another youtube video.
I never said they were gathering people somewhere to film? But if someone is filming at home, where kids/family are around, I don't mind/care if being recorded ahead of time helps with that. Not every panel is a panel with a celebrity who has someone to wrangle people. Some of these panels are going to have every day people who are still trying to balance everything going on in their lives on top of trying to take part in this. It's hilarious that we're going back and forth about this when in the end, it doesn't matter. It is what it is.

I think one big problem with live panels is timings for those who are not based in the US. So a scheduled live panel on late afternoon PST, would be early hours GMT. Just thinking how a live panel could go down the pan if all participants have bad Internet and it keeps dropping out. At least with a pre-record it can be edited to look like no problems.
