can someone tell me why Marvel is pushing Deadpool so much at SDCC? Is there a movie or something? Or did that character just become really popular recently?

Deadpool's been insanely popular for the last eight years or so. I mean, he's always been popular since he first appeared in the late '80s, but in the last decade, Marvel's been pushing him HARD. Just three or four years ago, Deadpool had four monthly books on the rack at the same time. That was more than any other Marvel superhero besides Spider-Man.

would have really liked to have been in that panel room today, but again I just don't have the capacity to camp out overnight and to me that is not a vacation.

I think I will have done OK for my first SDCC

I think it's nuts that people were doing that. I'll be going to San Diego next year, but I REALLY doubt that I'll be doing any overnight camping.

I had no idea Deadpool had taken off. Although admittedly I haven't read comics for a long time. In the early 90's he was a cool character, but my friends and I were really into Cable.

I think I can say that in the upcoming days me and mllNY will let you know our sdcc experience and post some pictures up.

And I'm sure mllNY's feet is a bit sore like mine from all the running around.

For now, enjoy these two videos I took at Hall H on saturday.

Thanks for the videos, will519! That X-Men ensemble cast is MASSIVE! The star power alone should be enough to draw in big box office numbers. And the fact that Tom Hiddleston loves his character and the fans so much that he'd come on stage AS Loki just shows you what kind of guy he is. I saw him at the NYCC a couple years back and he was taking videos of the crowd and signing autographs like crazy. Just a great guy!

That Loki video was great... keep'em coming!

This description is spot on, on what I saw at the Marvel Studios panel at SDCC. It might be the exact same thing thats going to be released soon.

The clip begins with Sif battling a group of bad guys in a village with explosions, fire, and swordplay in full effect. Jamie Alexander looks as stunning throughout the clip as she ever has and I think she will win over some more fanboy hearts by the time this one hits. Of course, Thor can't resist a fight and he makes his grand entrance, as we've seen in the first teaser, coming in through the bifrost and getting in on the fight. Sif isn't happy to see him, saying something to the effect of "I have this under control," to which Thor replies, "Then why is everything burning?" Thor jumps into action and this is where the film becomes obviously different than Branagh's original. It's strong, deft, and intricately edited, with Thor taking out villains with massive force. Every hit feels more intense, more visceral than what we saw in the original, complete with the atmospheric, earthy tone of a battle in a real-world environment, rather than on a green screen soundstage. The clip comes to a close with a giant rock monster approaching the scene, to which Thor approaches, beaming with a smile and addresses the creature, saying, "I accept your surrender," which causes the Asgardian soldiers around him to laugh. The rock creature doesn't find it funny and Thor begins to twirl his hammer before decimating the stone-laced creature into pieces with Mijlnor. This jumps straight into the new trailer, which is chock full of so much new footage that it would be impossible to recount it all.

We see all the familiar faces, including Kat Dennings, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins (who again starts off the trailer with his narration), Rene Russo (getting much more action this time around), the warriors three, and an Asgardian setting that is riddled with detail and depth, something that I felt was sorely needed in the first film. An attack in London sends Thor to Earth, where he saves Jane (Portman) and brings her back to his realm. A new evil has surfaced in the form of Christopher Eccleston's Maleketh, who we still get mostly teases of here. I can't recall any direct dialogue from him throughout. Thor enlists Loki to his team and once released from prison he's threatened by Ray Stevenson's Volstagg. Then, Jane and Thor approach, seemingly to stop the quarrel, but instead Jane slaps Loki in the face, saying "That was for New York!" Loki smiles and looks to Thor, saying, "Oh, I like her." From here the trailer goes into hyperkinetic action mode with all manner of action shots and closes in on the title. But, just as you think it's over, they jump back into it, showing Loki and Thor fighting each other in front of Maleketh with Thor easily getting his ass handed to him. Loki is doing his usual "villain lecturing" as he beats up his brother, who call Mijilnor to him. While his hand is out, though, Loki moves in and in an instant SEVERS Thor's hand off, before we go to black.
