TMP: "What can we say about San Diego Comic Con? Anyone that has ever attended the event could write a book on all the great experiences they’ve had (plenty of very useful and inspiring conferences, literally camping out in the main halls to see some of the biggest stars, or getting bags full of swag from all the major companies). Truth is, San Diego Comic Con isn’t a true comic con. It’s much more than that, it’s an entertainment one-stop shop for fans and studios. "
Looks like a stacked lineup not to be missed. See you in San Diego! Warner Bros. Discovery takes flight at Comic-Con 2022, as the combined divisions of the company are joining forces to mark the first in-person presence in three years at the world’s premiere comic book and popular arts convention.
It is almost time for Comic-Con at home and here is what AMC has planned.
With an in-person show impossible as planned, "Snake Eyes" will Kick Off Comic-Con At Home.
This is probably the longest article I have written ever lol, but it took a lot of effort and some good research. I even used a couple ideas and looked into them that were brought about here on FilmWatch. So hopefully you guys enjoy reading it!
Can't wait to hear what other ideas people have.
Agreed. I think the movie industry needs more events like what gamers have with E3. There just isn't much out there. What does exist is either for industry people and press only, or only appeal to the art house crowd. Nothing really in the middle for your hard core movie buffs. CinemaCon is great, but still not nearly as popular.
I've said for a while now that SDCC needs to stop calling itself ComicCon (I think Nerdgasm is more appropriate). It's really evolved past that, and should embrace that aspect. Just because it drops that title doesn't mean it can't still have that comic book aspect to it. It can still provide that part as well as being the big media affair for the movies.
Chances are that just isn't going to happen, but I hope the movie studios in the future don't start pulling out of it.
Love your article and you're right. It is a wonder to behold. I do remember the first time I went and remember thinking or maybe I should say, the lack of thinking because I was in shock, I did't know which way to go, what to do, where to turn....I was not prepared for what I was about to experience.
I didn't know you needed a Comic-Con planner (not so much unlike a Wedding Planner) to go to Comic Con. You need something. I don't think any of the movie studios will ever pull out because they do too much advertising that way and I really think they know that the general fans would rebel. I didn't even know that I was a nerd or what do we call ourselves these days because I don't know.
One day a few years ago I was flipping channels and saw something that caught my eye on G4 and it was an actor being interviewed from someplace called Comic Con in San Diego. I said to myself 'what's this?' I continued to watch and it lasted all day. At the end of the day I was hooked and have been ever since. I was always a movie and tv fanatic but now it's different in some way.
