CS Soapbox: Was Comic-Con@Home a Bust?

CS Soapbox: Was Comic-Con@Home a Bust?

Was this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, reinvented as Comic-Con@Home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a bust? Comic-Con@Home attempted to make up for the lack of an in-person experience with an Online Exhibit Hall and virtual panels. However, the pitfalls of this (along with the absence of some of the biggest titles/names in entertainment) may have proven too arduous for the annual event to overcome. Although we’re all spending a lot of time online, Comic-Con@Home for the most part was still largely without its fans. 

This was perhaps the biggest problem faced by last weekend’s virtual event (July 22-26). San Diego Comic-Con isn’t just about the announcements and photo ops, it’s about the cosplay and the comradery—an amalgamation of source materiel obsessives. Without that Comic-Con is at risk of being just another YouTube video. None of this year’s panels had any kind of fan interaction. Panels for shows like The Walking Dead were pre-recorded and the comment sections turned off. How can a fan event—with the sole purpose of bringing creatives and fans together—succeed without its key demographic (us)?

RELATED: Some Comic-Con@Home Elements To Continue After Conclusion

According to social media analytics via Listen First, tweets mentioning Comic-Con were down an average of 95% since 2019 (93,681 versus 1,719,000). Of the 10 TV event panels tweets were down 95%, and of the 5 movie panels tweets were down 99%. This makes sense, as nothing matches the enthusiasm of fans roaming Hall H with their phones. That said, the virtual panels on YouTube averaged 15,000 views—which is much better than panels in Hall H usually do on the service. However, Comic-Con@Home is a virtual experience so it should do better. 

The fact that Marvel Studios (minus the trailer for Disney+’s documentary, Marvel’s 616), Lucasfilm, and DC Films (the event’s biggest annual draws) making any major virtual appearances/announcements hurt Comic-Con@Home. The biggest panels were those concerning The Walking Dead (most YouTube views), Star Trek Universe, The New MutantsBill & Ted Face the Music, and a Constantine reunion (because well, Keanu Reeves). The biggest content on the movie side of things was arguably the latest New Mutants trailer and the announcement that George Carlin will be appearing in Bill & Ted Face the Music when it releases on video on demand and in select theaters September 1. 

On the TV side of things, The Walking Dead universe will be returning in October with the long-awaited season 10 finale of its flagship series, a Fear The Walking Dead premiere, and a brand new series, The Walking Dead: World Beyond. Amazon’s panel for The Boys brought with it a new clip and the news that the series has already been renewed for a third season. Aside from a looming rumor about a potential Disney+ series starring Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian (Solo: A Star Wars Story), the biggest entertainment buzz from last weekend may have come from another event entirely.

On Saturday, fans hosted an independent convention called JusticeCon, covering Zack Snyder’s upcoming cut of Justice League. During the event—which ran concurrently with Comic-Con@Home—the director spent around an hour interacting with the fans who made #ReleaseTheSnydercut possible. That said, the panel, during which Snyder premiered a new clip featuring a black-suited Superman, logged over 260,000 views on YouTube in less than 48 hours. JusticeCon owes its success to its focus on fan interaction. Its spiked engagement certainly bodes well for DC Fandome in late August where Snyder promises more announcements/content regarding his Justice League.  

It’s worth noting that Comic-Con@Home happened pretty quickly. Its organizers scrounging up everything and anything they could to make Comic-Con 2020 an acceptable virtual experience. While it’s easy to be cynical about virtual events and a lack of fan interaction when we crave a traditional experience, virtual reunions, surprise announcements and unconfirmed rumors still have their place online. And, since there’s really no paradigm for that (nor should there ever be), Comic-Con@Home did the best it could. Events like JusticeCon, where the reigns are essentially handed over to the demographic, will most likely set the standard for virtual conventions moving forward.

The Comey Rule Teaser With Brendan Gleeson & Jeff Daniels

The Comey Rule Teaser: Brendan Gleeson & Jeff Daniels Star in New Showtime Miniseries

The Comey Rule teaser: Brendan Gleeson & Jeff Daniels star in new Showtime miniseries

Based on former FBI director James Comey’s bestselling book A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership, the two-part miniseries is expected to premiere this coming September as a two-night and four-hour event on Sunday, September 27 and Monday, September 28 at 9 p.m. Check out the video in the player below along with newly released photos!

RELATED: Our Cartoon President Season 3 Sneak Peek: It’s Not Over Until Democracy Sings

Based on a number of additional interviews involving key principals which were conducted and compiled for over a year, The Comey Rule is an immersive, behind-the-headlines account of the historically turbulent events surrounding the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath, which divided a nation. It is not a biopic of one man, but is instead the story of two powerful figures, Comey and Trump, whose strikingly different personalities, ethics and loyalties put them on a collision course.

Pick up a copy of the book here!

The limited series adaptation will take us on an insider’s journey down the corridors of power, where decision-makers struggle to apply old norms to a dramatic new paradigm in the face of Russia’s deep and unprecedented penetration into American politics, with our nation’s rule of law hanging in the balance. Each character’s actions in these historic months made the careers of some, destroyed the careers of others and helped shape the incendiary political landscape we live in today.

The first part of The Comey Rule will examine the earliest days of the Russia investigation, the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and their impact on Election Night 2016, when Donald Trump stunned the world and was elected president. While part two is a virtual day-by-day account of the tempestuous relationship between Comey and Trump and the intense and chaotic first months of the Trump presidency – where allies became enemies, enemies became friends and truth depended on what side you were on.

RELATED: Showtime Schedule Update Including Comey Rule, Good Lord Bird & More

Joining Daniels and Gleeson are an ensemble of award-winning actors consisting of Holly Hunter (The Piano), Michael Kelly (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan), Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty), Scoot McNairy (Halt and Catch Fire), Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul), Oona Chaplin (Game of Thrones), Amy Seimetz (The Girlfriend Experience), Steven Pasquale (The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story), Peter Coyote (The Disappearance), and Kingsley Ben-Adir (High Fidelity) as President Barack Obama.

It will also feature Steve Zissis (Togetherness), Shawn Doyle (House of Cards), Brian d’Arcy James (Spotlight), Dalmar Abuzeid (Anne with an E), William Sadler (When They See Us), Richard Thomas (Tell Me Your Secrets), T.R. Knight (Grey’s Anatomy), Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Spencer Garrett (Bombshell), Michael Hyatt (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Damon Gupton (Black Lightning) and Seann Gallagher (Good Witch).

The Comey Rule is written and directed by Oscar nominee Billy Ray (Captain Phillips). It is executive produced by Shane Salerno, Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, and Ray. The series is a co-production by CBS Television Studios, Home Run Productions, The Story Factory and Secret Hideout.

Cursed Season 1 Episode 3 and Episode 4 Recap

Cursed Season 1 Episode 3 and Episode 4

Cursed Season 1 Episode 3 and Episode 4 recap

In the previous episodes of Netflix’s Cursed, the Red Paladins sacked Dewdenn, and Nimue escaped with a sword for Merlin. In Cursed Season 1 Episode 3, Nimue woke up at Yvoire Abbey with Arthur and the sword gone, and in Cursed Season 1 Episode 4, a Fey smuggler helped her go to Gramaire to get the sword back.

With Honor

When Arthur’s father died, Arthur inherited his debts. While he worked it off, his sister, Morgana, was sent to live in Yvoire Abbey. Arthur had taken the sword from Nimue to gain Sir Ector’s sponsorship for the tournament. His aunt, Marion, was Sir Ector’s wife, and they had lost their son, Charlie, in battle. Sir Ector was reluctant because of Arthur’s past with thieves and mercenaries. Arthur lied about the sword, saying he’d received it as a reward for saving a girl from robbers. Ector agreed to sponsor him.

Bors came across Arthur and Ector and exposed Arthur’s lie. In defense of Ector, Arthur killed one of Bors’ men. He was arrested, and the Paladins captured him and the sword.

Yvoire Abbey

Nimue found herself in an abbey without the sword and Arthur missing. The abbey housed Red Paladins, and Sister Igraine and her superior, Sister Nora, helped to disguise her as one of them. The Paladins brought in the man Nimue strung up in a tree with her magic. If he died in their care, they would hold the Sisters responsible. Nimue helped Igraine save him with her Fey treatments. She also secretly burned several of Carden’s documents.

Carden had the Sisters rounded up for questioning. Wanting to be like the Paladins, Sister Iris told them about Nimue’s arrival and held Sister Nora responsible. Igraine revealed to Nimue that she was Arthur’s sister, Morgana and helped her escape. Afterwards, Carden carted off Nora for her punishment. Morgana left the abbey and asked her lover, Celia to come with her. Celia refused.

The Red Lake

Cursed Season 1 Episode 3 and Episode 4

Dizier, a leather goods merchant, found Nimue. He was part of an underground network of caravans to help Fey to safety, and Morgana had created it. They traveled with a Fey family and Dizier’s wife, Clothilde. Dizier told Nimue that they were going to a secret Fey refuge. She convinced him to take her to Gramaire.

In Gramaire, Nimue caught up to Arthur, who had escaped the Paladins on the road. Back on the road, they found Dizier and everyone in the cart, aside from the little Fey girl, murdered. Nimue found the sword in the Paladins’ cart stopped by a lake where they bathed. Nimue killed them all. She and Arthur found the Fey girl and took her to the Fey refuge.

Fey Fire

Cursed Season 1 Episode 3 and Episode 4

Merlin visited Lord Rugen. He told them about the Sword of Power, saying he wanted Rugen to have it. After presenting Rugen an offering, Merlin saw the Fey Fire that he was after. He convinced Rugen he was drunk to take some Fey Fire. He escaped on the Widow’s horse.

Pym turned up alive in a port near Dewdenn. Aaron brought her home, intending to make her his wife. In the village, she watched the Paladins burn a woman, claiming her to be the Wolf Blood Witch. While cleaning up fish guts on the dock, Pym met Dof, a raider, and stowed away on his ship.

Karl Urban Reveals His Secret Stormtrooper Cameo in Rise of Skywalker

Karl Urban Reveals His Secret Stormtrooper Cameo in Rise of Skywalker

Karl Urban Reveals His Secret Stormtrooper Cameo in Rise of Skywalker

While making the rounds for Season 2 of The Boys, actor Karl Urban dropped a fun nugget of info: he cameoed as a stormtrooper in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The scene in question features two stormtroopers watching the Knights of Ren walk past them down a hallway.

“Here’s the process. I had the good fortune to go and visit J.J. Abrams while he was shooting ‘The Rise of Skywalker,’” Urban told Digital Spy. “While I was there, he put me in a stormtrooper uniform and we had a really fun day on set.” 

The actor’s voice actually made the cut as well with his only line being, “Knights of Ren.”

Obviously, Abrams and Urban have a working relationship as the duo teamed up for Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. In the meantime, check out Urban in the upcoming The Boys Season 2.

RELATED: The Boys Cast Teases More ‘Above and Beyond’ Insane Scenes for Season 2

In Season 2, The Boys are on the run from the law, hunted by the Supes, and desperately trying to regroup and fight back against Vought. In hiding, Hughie (Jack Quaid), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso), Frenchie (Tomer Capon), and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) try to adjust to a new normal, with Butcher (Karl Urban) nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) must navigate her place in The Seven as Homelander (Antony Starr) sets his sights on taking complete control. His power is threatened with the addition of Stormfront (Aya Cash), a social-media-savvy new Supe, who has an agenda of her own. On top of that, the Supervillain threat takes center stage and makes waves as Vought seeks to capitalize on the nation’s paranoia.

The Boys is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about the supergroup known as “The Seven.” The show retains most of the comics (available for purchase here) boundary-pushing violence and sexuality while exploring the dark side of superhero celebrity and fame.

The series was created by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, who are responsible for another subversive comic book-inspired series, AMC’s Preacher, and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke.

Season 1 is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video with Season 2 scheduled to debut on Friday, September 4.

Deadline has confirmed that Grand Budapest star Tony Revolori will return for Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. While not exactly groundbreaking news, it’s always nice to confirm such details, especially considering Revolori remains one of the better aspects of this new Spidey series.

Tom Holland will return for the film as the titular wall-crawler, and it remains to be seen what villains he’ll go up against in the trilogy caper. Given the ending of Far From Home however, any number of his rogues gallery are likely eager for a fight. The third installment to the MCU’s Spider-Man films will also feature the return of Zendaya (Euphoria, Dune) as MJ. Holland’s Spider-Man is also set to appear in another Marvel Studios film per the new agreement.

Originally scheduled for a July 16, 2021 release, the film was first pushed back to November 5 and will now bow on December 17.

Sony’s upcoming Spidey slate includes the Venom sequel, starring Tom Hardy and directed by Andy Serkis, as well as Jared Leto’s in-the-can Morbius, a Kraven the Hunter film, and a spinoff featuring Silver Sable and Black Cat. Should these films interact with the MCU and Tom Holland, it remains to be seen, but the door seems open.

Revolori can be seen in the TV series Servant and Wes Anderson’s upcoming comedy The French Dispatch.
