i'm glad they're making what they can free

[potatoehead25]

I need som WandaVision, Falcon and Winter Soldier, The Mandalorian and The Eternals cast making a zoom call! and showing some teaser lol.

Watch Disney do their own thing like WB. Marvel instagram has a bunch of followers and i think they also have a good amount of subscriber to their youtube channel so it's not like they REALLY need Comic Con

[sandstorm]

Disney already does, it's D23...but it's every other year and I think they already did one last year....it might not stop them of course.

[potatoehead25]

Oh yeah, they have that D23, now i remember the last year expo.

I think it will depend on which it's cheaper for Disney, maybe they will give something to Comic Con but not everything. Who knows

[tillychar]

disney cancelled star wars celebration a few days ago and now i'm wondering if they'll do something similar for that since the rumours were they were going to announce mandalorian stuff there. i can't see them doing that for virtual SDCC either, who knows about marvel stuff though

[sandstorm]

It shouldn't have taken a global pandemic to have an online option. Even if it's not as many panels or not even the big panels, it should have been a thing starting in like 2010.

[wearescientists]

I thought SDCC streamed some panels live in the past?

[jellycar]

they do with some, i remember watching most of them through here

[rabbitncavylove]

No. Some attendees stream it sometimes secretly. CCI doesn’t stream panels live to keep it ‘exclusive’

[fauxkaren]

GIVE ME MORE INFO ABOUT YOUNG JUSTICE SEASON 4.

Preferably a release date.
