Closing

I feel like this year’s SDCC didn’t really pump out the news like previous years. Marvel’s panel, while entertaining, only revealed snippets of new movies like Captain Marvel and Antman and the Wasp. Warner Bros only focused on three movies, Justice League, Ready Player One, and Blade Runner. I feel Netflix was the biggest winner this year. They had more offerings and released new sporadically to keep you interested.

If I had to pick a favorite announcement from the convention, I would have to say it was the Ready Player One trailer. I was not expecting what I saw. That trailer got me excited to see this movie. I loved the book and cannot wait to see what Spielberg pulled off.

What was your favorite moment from SDCC 2017? Did you even have one? Do you think the convention is not as great as it has been in the past? Let me know your thoughts by sounding off below.
