Question for everyone who went into the convention centre: If you didn't already know that it was sdcc's 50th anniversary, would you have known it was by the amount of promotion inside? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
And also, I am so glad they moved the Line h campers out of the dock area behind the Hilton to that other area. I know they don't like admitting that LIne H camping happens but it does. I'm not sure how much better the island was, but it had to be better than camping in the hot sun on hot concrete?
I think there is a bigger problem than the con itself. There just isn’t much that is inspiring rabid devotion from the fan base. Marvel rules the roost and they will continue to do so. There’s still Rick and Morty for a while and the new Star Trek shows look promising. But Game of Thrones is done. Supernatural, Good Place, and Arrow are ending. DC/Warner is internally a mess and it seems their panels reflected that. Terminator, god bless, has worn out it’s welcome. Witcher and His Dark Materials are promising but it’s still niche. Dark Crystal I am looking forward to but that’s a one off deal. Maybe Umbrella Academy could have sparked some buzz, but the comic just ended and they are not far into production for the second season. That being said, I did manage to do everything I wanted to do this weekend (ok, couldn't do the sky diving but I went in expecting it wouldnt happen) and the Marvel panel was well worth the effort I put to get in. Team Coco House was a disappointment. In addition to having to pay for food and drinks, the comedy act I saw was a dud. I would have preferred last year's set up where I got a great show but no pop rather than a dud but a pop.
They need to stop fighting the inevitable, stop reinventing it and let the property revert back to James Cameron. They could've taken Terminator in so many other directions since T2: Judgement Day... *cue Elsa* Let it go!!
I only mention it because i know there's a copyright flaw with that, the original ownership of it would have automatically reverted back to james Cameron if they hadnt made another movie in a certain amount of years. i know that was the reasoning behind them making some of them by a certain time, so he wouldn't get full rights back... but he's a producer on it? hmm.. interesting. still though... let it die. let the movie live on in the halls of cinema the way it now stands..
-And then the cherry on top of the whole weekend. I mentioned above that I met a cool guy at our hotel. I met him on the elevator on Friday evening. I was headed to the lobby to get some drinks for my wife and I as we were getting ready for Fundays and I was wearing a lei. The guy asked if I was going to Fundays and said that I was going to have a blast. He said he's worked the event before and it's insanity. Saw him the next morning and talked to him about how incredible it was. Anyway, on Saturday night, my wife and I were getting ready for bed and there was a knock at the door. My wife looks through the peephole and says "uh, it's some guy. You answer it please." It was the guy I spoke to from the elevator. He said that he works for Conan and then he handed me a box with all four Conan pops in it! Basically said "hope you had fun at the convention. Here you go." and left. My jaw was on the floor. How cool is that!?
