    Thanks for the report! It's very valuable to read everyone's input on the convention. From our perspective it was a success and a lot of fun to organize and promote. It was a great weekend! And someone mentioned Mike Zeck cancelling? Mike Zeck was never on this year's guest list. He attended SFCC last year.

    From our perspective, it was a fantastic show! Thanks to those who attended (attendees and exhibitors!). It was an easy venue in terms of layout, which helps us a lot. I haven't heard a ton of post-con sales reports, but the ones that I have heard have ALL been positive. From what I can determine, attendees were buying. CGC's booth was packed all weekend. All of our guest creators did very well. The guest artist section was a madhouse all weekend. We're very pleased with the convention. It was a lot of fun to put on, and we can't wait to do it all again!

    Again you are missing my point......what villains would you like them to use? All the good ones don't belong to Marvel Studios. I suppose you're missing my point as well. All of the villains they've used could be compelling if written in such a way to make them so. And that's just not true that all of the "good villains" don't belong to Marvel Studios. At least, in my opinion it's not true. The buck doesn't stop with Magneto and Dr. Doom being licensed elsewhere. Magneto is my favorite, but there are SO many villains that Marvel has available. Just from the ones I listed in my original post, I'd consider Malekith, Baron Zemo, Ultron and Yellowjacket to be quality villains. Ultron could have been a scary/creepy, original Terminator-style type machination...but instead we got a cartoony, wise-cracking CGI robot with lips and eyebrows. Flat villains is just an ongoing issue for me with the mostly high quality, Marvel movie formula.
  24. KingOfRulers
    For me, a quality villain is equally as important as a quality hero. The hero's journey is nothing, without a villain. It's the other half of the story; a yin and yang sort of thing. Sure, a movie can get by with half, but a truly spectacular movie/story needs a compelling hero and a compelling villain. The X-Men movies have not really been that great overall. What's been carrying them from a story perspective? Professor X and Magneto. Without Magneto, the X-Men movies would not even be worth watching.

    Non-Spoiler Review: Overall, I thought Dr. Strange was decent. In my opinion, Cumberbatch plays a fantastic Dr. Strange. I went in with no trepidation concerning that casting. I love how they stuck to the original story for his origin. I was mainly concerned about the presentation and representation of magic. Visually, it actually ended up being better than I expected. I feared that it would be all Nolan-esque/Inception style effects, which was not the case. The Mads Mikkelson villain was the worst part of the movie. Unfortunately, it's a pretty noticeable blemish. He was as boring and generic a villain as you could imagine, complete with boring and generic goons. This seems to be an ongoing problem for Marvel movies; Malekith, Ronan, Baron Zemo, Ultron, Yellowjacket, and now Kaecilius. All completely flat, one-dimensional, cookie cutter villains, that I'm not compelled to care anything about. My other two gripes of note are : 1) There was way too much combat. This was a beat em' up movie that made me dismiss combat as anything meaningful, as it was nearly constant. I would have preferred a small amount of meaningful combat. 2) Lack of anything thought provoking concerning the occult or mysticism. I have no personal interest in the occult as an area of study or belief, but I do when it comes to Dr. Strange. I've not read a single book on the occult anytime in my life, but would love to have watched 45 minutes or so of learning and occult study as Strange learns the mystic arts. That would have been a great build up and opportunity for foreshadowing. Well, there was none of that. Just a short, generic "learning curve" (t'was barely even a learning curve) was presented. At the end of the day, Dr. Strange is worth watching, but probably not good enough for me to buy on Blu-Ray and watch again. I'd give Dr. Strange, a 3 out of 5.
