Legion FX at SDCC 2017?
« on: May 05, 2017, 04:14:43 PM »
There's been NO ANNOUNCEMENT as far as I know so right now this is speculation.

Was Legion at SDCC last year?  I don't think it was but it might have been somewhere I just didn't notice. I sort of stumbled across the show by accident and it wasn't on my radar last July.

Do you think the show is big enough to warrant Ballroom 20?  6BCDF?  6A maybe?

I feel like the show has to come this year with it being renewed and based on a comic book.

Thoughts?

It was not from what I recall. Someone correct me I am incorrect.

In terms of panel rooms if they do not try the Orphan Black approach - using extremely small rooms - I think 6BCDF would be a good room. This would be a panel I would like to attend. 

Production is supposed to move to Cali for S2 so a trip should not cost much if it is around the same time as filming.

This is my thought as well.  Seems like a "good" fit for that room. I mean, I don't like how Orphan Black had clearly outgrown that space, but Legion is newer so it could work for a first time visit.  I feel like this show is very slowly building.  People seem to be catching up now or putting it on their "to watch later" lists.  By the time SDCC rolls around the fanbase may have grown, but I don't think it'll be B20 ready yet.

I seriously need to be a TV Exec. I would have SDCC on my radar all the time for my shows. I would make it like Xmas for fans (budgets be damned).

The BBCA folks intentionally picked the super small room going back to their first year at SDCC. I actually talked to the showrunner in passing at the BBCA booth that year and kindly asked they consider using a bigger room the following year because there was such a line outside and there were a large number who did not make it in. The following year they used the same room (I think 6A) and once again I missed out because the room was packed all day and it was for OB. Luckily I got in for the Nerd HQ panels.

For Legion I seriously hope they have a good presence this SDCC.

Hopefully.  Rooting for Nerd HQ tickets.  Would LOVE to be that close to them. 

I have very little experience with the 6 rooms.  I think I've been in 6A a couple of times and 6BCDF maybe once.  I always get anxious with the smaller rooms.  Was so GRATEFUL when Hannibal got upgraded to B20.

American Horror Story's first years' panels at SDCC were in 6A. I remember walking by the massive line. Hopefully, FX won't do the same for Legion!

eta: Correction-it was in 6DE, not 6A 2015 was the first time AHS was at Comic-Con (not its first year on the air)

6BCF is probably about right. Isn't that where Orphan Black was last year? Pretty certain OB's first year was in tiny little 7AB unless I'm misremembering.

Correct on the larger room and the smaller room could be the right number I just remember it being small and I could not get in.

Yeah, we didn't stay for it, (didn't know anything about OB at that point,) but we were in some panels well before it in that room. Watching Max Brooks switch gears as he realized 90% of the room wasn't there to see him was priceless.

Last year was one of those surreal only-at-SDCC moments, we went to a gaming panel that was the first panel of the day and OB and Vikings were later. So when the panel was over and we left, both groups of course swarmed to the front to get better seats. I have this vivid recollection of a horde of Vikings cosplayers and the Clone Club coming right at us :)

I believe they did the trailer as part of a larger panel? Really hope they do a panel just for the show this year. With Aubrey Plaza. And Bill Irwin. And Jemaine Clement. And ... well better just bring everyone to be safe. Oh, and Bill Sienkiewicz, he's usually around.

Stranger Things is another one. It actually dropped maybe a week before SDCC 2016 with pretty much no fanfare, I don't think there were any panels about it, only thing I remember were the missing child posters.

If they do a panel then the entire room has to be bathed in neon colours and we are all given a mysterious pill to take upon entering the room. Also the panel has to be run backwards.
