People will complain and see it anyway. Ever hear of the Star Wars Prequels?

Yeah, me too.
That would do me. All the other stuff can wait.
Think though, when ever this stuff does get out - they are rolling a massive hard six. Timing is everything.

Damn and I was so looking forward to it.

While SDCC has always been the place to be for the comics industry, it has also had strong ties to science-fiction/fantasy media from books to television. Star Wars was previewed at con. The various Trek stars have gone to con from Walter Konieg to William Shatner. Robotech had a big showing at con before it hit the airwaves. Stargate had always had a strong presence at con. JMS showed some of the first footage of Babylon 5 at con because he knew of its power to create grass-roots buzz (also because he went to high school and college in San Diego).
Forrest J. Ackerman has been a frequent guest. Various SF/Fantasy authors also put in an appearance at con, including Larry Niven and Ray Bradbury.
In recent years, Hollywood has become more and more integrated with con that's beyond the comic book/science-fiction realm. Nevertheless, SDCC has always been the place for comics, SF, fantasy and anime and has always had one of the largest gatherings of cross-genre fandom.
Of course, Iron Man was also a comics property. Star Trek isn't. So, it made sense to promote Iron Man at SDCC.
And yes, I realize that SDCC is outgrowing the CC part of its name. Which may be good for the convention as a whole, but bad for the comics fandom.

That's if you can get inside the building nowadays. SDCC has grown so large (125,000 in attendance last year) they no longer sell tickets at the door. You have to buy in advance online. Anyone who makes the trip to San Diego next month without a pre-purchased pass will be turned away. Hotel space sold out last February as well for the run of the con.

Paramount will show up. This fabricated news of Paramount not wanting to show was just a way of testing the waters. Once they saw the uproar online they will justify in changing their minds.

The fortitude to face many who should recognize that Spandex is not a right but a privilege.

I'm going to the Star Trek specific convention in Vegas again this year, but this nerd isn't going to take any damn pictures of anything related to Abrams piece of garbage, if there is anything related to it that is.

I just spent this past weekend in San Diego and Comic-Con banners are already up all over the downtown area, scores of them. What's striking is there's a Star Trek/Paramount banner alongside each and every one. I kid you not, no BS.
