In 2011 , we crownedtelevision the king of Con . A yr later , TV still govern the San Diego Convention Center with an smoothing iron fist . The bulk of well - attended panel at Comic - Con these daylight are all thermionic valve - centric , with a once faceless grouping of TV scribes hail like graven image . George R.R.

And if television is the king , then illusion is its female monarch . Take a gander at just a few of the serve TV serial below . The list of fancy ( and urban phantasy ) projects is foresightful . We ’re matter about fifteen ( popular ) telly shows , and those are just the substantiate programs in attendance . No doubt there will many more announcements as we get closer to the literal convention date . These sheer numbers intimate that fantasy is swallowing up San Diego .

Even more telling for 2012 , Game of Thrones has been officially move from Ballroom 20 ( which can hold 4,000 multitude ) to Hall H ( 6,500 ) . And it ’s not being banished to the clean Sunday agenda either — GOT ’s popularity pick up it a Friday spot in Hall H. What ’s filling the Ballroom 20 blank space ? More fantasy . Possibly one of the best scripted dramas presently on television today , The Legend of Korra , is poise to take over Hall H — and it ’s a cartoon . Korra will link up Once Upon a Time , True Blood , 666 Park Avenue , Beauty and the Beast , and a collection of fantasy shows .

As for film , there are n’t as many fancy - grueling movies as there are television shows , but one could contend that the most buzzed - about features are the fantasy incline . The convention is opening with some undivided , never - before - witness footage of Breaking Dawn : Part 2 . Why ? Because the ravenous Twilight fans ’ thirst for new Cullen bloodline is so potent that it ’s best to permit these the great unwashed attack betimes to make fashion for even more convention meeter . That ’s right , there are so many Twi - hards in attending at Comic Con that they ’d inundate Hall H all twenty-four hours otherwise .

But possibly the biggest win for phantasy at SDCC is the fact that Star Trek 2 will be MIA this year . This entrust a giant hole easy filled by The Hobbit . True , Zack Snyder ’s Man of Steel is rumored to be revealing a trailer , but what is a light trailer compared to factual panel clock time ( and footage ) with Peter Jackson ? Is anyone even that excited for this Superman moving-picture show ? geminate that bombilation with the fact that The Avengers has already take our quota of Robert Downey Jr. sass for this class — Iron Man 3 better show us something unexampled or we ’re lead to spend our time waiting in furrow for the exceptionally charming turn back - motion zombie movie ParaNorman .

Then there are the attendees themselves . Cosplay is a huge part of the convention experience . Before most professional cosplayers reveal their suits at the self-aggrandizing show , they test them out at smaller pattern across the globe . And if WonderCon is any indication of what ’s in stock , we ’re going to be meet a ton of fairy tarradiddle character . Each past convention was litter with Disney princesses , Hobbits , and bunny - hat warriors from Adventure Time . We ’re personally holding out for an all Evil Queen cosplay quoin , hopefully Snow White and the new Maleficent movie inspire the masses .
