38. "Wouldn't a bigger venue invite more Hollywood bullshit though?" In response to In response to 36 Thu Jul-09-09 01:08 PM by buckshot defunct
I agree about the crowd issue - Nothing like being shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of sweaty fanboys at a complete dead stop because 20 feet ahead someone wants to take a picture of the guy in an Optimus Prime costume made out of shoeboxes. I've managed to avoid the worst of it by sticking to the comics areas and artist alleys but that doesn't mean it's not a big flaw in the con experience.
But I feel like a relocation and a bigger venue removes Comic Con even further from its roots, which seems to already be what's 'wrong' with Comic Con by many accounts. Not that I'd mind the extra elbow room...
