Another Day....Another game of "Will They Cancel or Not Cancel Comic Con? Step on down....
I'm sure studios and networks have probably already made up their minds about being at the show, even if it does happen. With filming shut down on pretty much everything, if things do "slow down" I'm sure these networks and studios will be more concerned about getting back to filming than attending a con.
We pay for badges knowing nothing about the show, other than maybe a few comic guests that 99+% of attendees don't care about. If you are sure that the show is not going to be what you want this year and are waiting to see if they give you the option to roll them over to 2021 then fair enough, but if you're just going to talk smack about them based on things that may or may not happen in the next 4 months then it seems it would be better to just to cancel your badge and get the 10% back while you have the option.
I would imagine that a lot of panelists might not want to come either.This is where the international in CCI hurts them a bit.
But other than moving it out of the United States, what can CCI do?According to the BBC, the US has more confirmed cases of covid than any other country. We are just starting our exponential ramp up.
That's because we don't take it as seriously as other countries. The pandemic will grow until everyone starts taking it seriously.
Not saying that CCI could or should do anything. Saying that panelists might choose to not show up.
Right now, we hear that SDCC is quietly proceeding as if everything is still on track. Representatives for the event did not respond to request for comment. Studio representatives say they are, in turn, waiting to see what the event's organizers decide before making their own verdicts.
That comment earlier that a few comic people that 99+% of the people don't care about....this is bugging me. I understand that SDCC has a different feel, but the heart of it is comics. I've sat with a bunch of friends here debating comics. I see long lines to talk to writers/artists. I'm not a snob and poo-poo people that come to buy toys or gawk at celebrities, but I assure you, we love the creators.SDCC happens! Because that means we will have gone back to a normal life.
