Hollywood Studios go too far with EVERYTHING so I'm not surprised
daveandthomasJul 24, 2010
Yes
hazyriverJul 24, 2010
I'm sure somewhere in Hollywood someone is thinking they haven't gone far enough.
zmistJul 24, 2010
No. They can never go too far where comics and superheroes are concerned. I say they start making real life superheroes and supervillains. As a matter of fact, start auditioning for them...maybe one day my dream of becoming a real life superman will come true.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

ok, awesome, I want to be the first to shoot you.

Comic book movies? Okay, makes sense. Non-comic book movies that appeal to geeks? Not okay, makes everything so cluttered. There should be a reason behind the name COMIC-Con.

Silly, silly Hollywood.

Look at E3, now we have GDC, PAX and Blizzcon because individuals got sick of how E3 was doing things. If people are unhappy with the way things are going then take things into your own hands.

tl;dr version:
Nobody goes to Comic-Con to see movie trailers unless significant geek cred is attached to them.
And also, nobody who's posted so far seems to have read the article.

This is why we can't have nice things

It's Comic-Con, not Random Movies/SciFi/General Nerd Stuff-Con. The only movies that should be there are comic book movies, the only video games that should be there are comic book video games, etc. It's even more infuriating with video games since they already have half a dozen conventions every year.

I agree. Much of what is going on at comiccon should be at dragoncon.
elitebeatJul 24, 2010
Face the facts people. Comics are not what comic con is about anymore.

hollywood messes up everything. i thought people knew that by now.
leif777Jul 24, 2010
Hollywood ruins everything it touches. It's an empty souless entity that sucks the lifeforce of everything good in the world.

It's an art.

I think sales people know that geeks and nerds are an easily taken-advantage-of demographic. They are lonely, virgins who will buy anything that mainstreams or sexualizes their interests.
I am a geek, but this disappoints me greatly.

It isn't just Hollywood's fault. The people who run comic con WANT the studios there hawking their movies. It brings a lot more attention and visitors than would otherwise go.

I got a free ticket to go see Jon Oliver and Spoon inside Petco Park (on the field). Jon was hosting the TV.com awards. There were 100 people there at most. There is so much going on that people are forced to choose between 10 to 15 events at any time.

This article was the bomb!
I've been saying that this comic book movie nonsense has to end sometime. Sure, Spiderman made a bazillion dollars... that doesn't mean that every other comic book will do the same. Some of the new movies are just a horrible disgrace to comics. Don't get me wrong, I love comics as much as the next geek, and I surely wish all of the comic movies could be as amazing as Sin City, but maybe Hollywood should face facts.
