highlights? anything good going on at night after the con?
Highlights are too numerous to mention. I saw plenty of panels, a few stars and more then my share of cute cosplayers. The other thing that simply must be seen is the Exhibition hall. Like a giant marketplace on speed. Everyone from artist to authors to big movie stars all in one place. I was pretty fired up to get a few autographs from some authors I read.
At night...omg...think of the best super bowl or mardi gras party you can imagine and then times it by 100. The only thing that slowed me down at night was I was dog tired after all the walking and gawking I did during the day.

how were the lines?
Were miserable. I got smart this year and avoided the big panels and had a much much better time. The problem and the great thing about comicon in San Diego is there is so much to do if you miss something you wait 30 minutes and boom something else epic is happening.

I hope to some day, my wife would never understand though. Should have married someone who was at least slightly into this stuff.
I feel you...my wife won't go either (she has a line phobia) but is happy to be rid of me for four days.

It's definitely on my bucket list, how far in advance do you need to buy tickets?
That is the real catch.
Getting passes is as much luck as anything.
My first year I got lucky and got a pass for just one day in a ticket resale (returns). After that I am in the "system" which allows me to purchase passes in the presale auction to people who attended the previous year. That doesn't guarantee you a pass for every day and I ended up with just 3 days (thur fri and sat). Once the presales are done then the opening the remaining ones to the general public. This year they were gone in an hour. (I had a buddy who tried and failed to get one).
You have to be persistent but you can get in.

The year we went my wife enjoyed going even more than I did.
Our strategy for lines was to see everything on the main floor over the first couple of days and then camp out for Hall H on Saturday and just spend the day in there so that we'd have good seats for the important films.

i havent been since '08. do they have "official" parties or bars where people go after the con? im sure most of the talent runs and hides in their hotel rooms. but sometimes editors and writers go out and are kind of accessible.

It depends...a few actors were out and about signing autographs in the hall h over night camper lines. A lot of them go to "corporate" events at night.
After the con closes its doors (7 for the exhibition hall and for the most part 9 for the panels). The place empties out into the gaslamp district. Which is pretty much wall to wall bars that do stupid crazy business. There are also parties held by game companies, movie companies etc that you can attend. I also saw a movie premiere which was cool to do (the producer and a few of the actors addressed us before they rolled the film).
Really it just depends what you want from it and how you go about it.

Well this thread went to shite quickly. I guess nobody can question Snyder your Lord and Savior or the Man of Steel who died for your fandom.

To anyone who gives a shite, there is a Youtube video with Audio from the Age of Ultron footage. Cant really tell much but James Spader as Ultron sounds badass

I know comic fans love Deadpool because of the wisecracks but I just don't think it would translate well to film for 1 1/2 or 2 hr movie. It would get annoying mighty quick to your average audience unfamiliar with the Deadpool character.

I think Deadpool would work fine on a team as some comic relief, but 1.5 hours of him breaking the fourth wall and cracking jokes would have to be done perfectly to not be annoying as all shite.

I really hate that fat bat symbol.
I think it looks terrible.
I've also tried to like the short ears, but I just can't bring myself to like it. Just not a fan of the new look.

I like it.
The look of the bat symbol and the ears are the least of this movie's worries though.

I hear that before the Marvel panel, there was a one hour presentation on feminist representation in the comic industry. And since seats are first come first serve, people who wanted to see the Marvel stuff had to sit through a one hour lecture on what a shite job comics do regarding female characters.
That alone makes me love Comic Con. Well done, scheduler.

Agreed. I feel like this movie is either going to go one way or the other.

Maybe chicks should start buying comics. They'd have a reason to put in more females.
And they are getting a female Thor. That should keep them happy for the next 10 years.
