Salt Lake Comic Con

Last weekend was Comic Con! It was amazing! I've been going for several years now, and this was my favorite! It was so awesome!

Here are some of the highlights:

(I stole pictures from SLCC's Intsagram because they had better pictures than me.)

I'm a big Stargate fan, so it was a thrill to see Christopher Judge. His pants were crazy! He was so funny, and talked about a Stargate reboot.

I think Michael Rooker was drunk, but he was hilarious! He had everyone in stitches with everything he said. He also gave us the famous Mary Poppins line several times.

Rooker jumped down into the audience, and it was fun to see him interact with everyone.

Rob Schneider was what I expected and so much more. I didn't realize he loved to tell stories, and his impersonations were spot on. He was able to do two panels, and they were both very enjoyable. I enjoyed his stories about Chris Farley, Sylvester Stallone, and Adam Sandler.

This was the Anime from the 90s panel. There is a Utah Author up there! It was fun to listen them to talk about old Anime shows I love.

Christopher Daniel Barnes was so inspirational. His take on Little Mermaid and what it means to girls was so empowering. I loved his enthusiasm for his work.

The highlight of the whole con was seeing the legendary Dick Van Dyke. His panel was cancelled, but on Friday morning they announced that it was back on! I danced on stage and even sang to us. It was so surreal to see him in person. Rob Schneider got in the question line and got to talk to Dick Van Dyke. It was pretty funny.

Jewel Staite, who I know from Stargate Atlantis and Firefly, was so lovely. She is a foodie! She talked a lot about food and her career. She isn't working as much because she wants to spend as much time as she can with her son, and I really admire that. She had a funny story about meeting Benedict Cumberbatch.

I've seen Christopher Lloyd before, and it was a pleasure to see him again, but Tom Wilson really stole the show. He sang a couple songs and was just hilarious! He has so much energy and command of the stage. It was great!

Richard Dean Anderson is a lot like Jack O'Neill. Wow! He mostly talked about Macgyver, but he said his favorite scenes with Amanda Tapping were the make out moments.

Seeing John and Joan Cusack was awesome! They talked about various roles. Joan said that Jack Black is actually a quiet person. John said his favorite moment in Better of Dead is when he is the garbage truck and someone says, "It's a shame to throw out a perfectly good white boy like that."

Elijah Wood said he never gets tired of talking about the Lord of the Rings movies. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and there is a lot to discuss. He would love to have a role in a Star Wars movie. That is his dream.

Zachary Levi was so charming and cute! He is funny and so gracious to his fans. What a great guy.

Sean Gunn and Chris Sullivan were fun. Sean couldn't say anything about the Infinity War movie, but he is in it. Chris couldn't talk about This is Us, but he thinks Maguel murdered Jack to steal his wife. Ha! They talked about Taser Face and how that character came to be and stuff. It was a great panel.

PSYCH!!! Corbin Bernsen was awesome! He is more like Henry Spencer than I thought he would be. He is excited for the Psych movie to come out.

Twisted Toonz is always one of my favorite panels. It was a thrill to hear Invader Zim!

They read the Back to the Future script, and when the first scene with Bif cam up, Tom Wilson came on stage and roasted all the voice actors. It was hilarious! Oh man! It was one of the best moments at the con.

I bought a giant light saber cotton candy. My brother and I couldn't finish it, but I wanted the light saber.

The cosplay contest was a lot of fun, and The Lich King won best in show! He deserved it! It was incredible. The guy's suit was about 10 feet tall, and every detail was perfect. I will never get over this cosplay. No other cosplay will ever live up to The Lich King.

I also saw Will Weaton and Gate McFadden, but we weren't allowed to take pictures of them. I'm not a trekky, but my bro wanted to see them. They were actually pretty funny.

I also got to see Jodi Bensen. She was so fun and charming. She sang Part of Your World for us, and it was so magical!

I loved this con so much! It is a memorable one for sure.

Salt Lake Comic Con 2015

I've been putting this off long enough!!

My comic con recap:

On Thursday, my brother and I spent 2 hours in the Funko line! 

My mission: limited edition C3PO!

There was a giant C3PO, and Anthony Daniels ended up signing it.

They had this awesome display of all the Hikari Funko figures.

Look at these cute wampas!

After 2 hours, I scored big! The bag on the left is mine, and the bag on the right is my brothers. He completed his Inside Out collection. I bought 3 C3POs, and I'm hoping to sell 2 for big bucks! There is only 750, and you could only get them at Salt Lake Comic Con!

After getting through the Funko line, we rushed to the voice acting panel!! From left to right: Dee Bradley Baker, Rob Paulsen, Tress MacNeille, Jess Harnell, and the moderator. These guys were SO amazing! I will never get sick of seeing Rob and Jess. They are hilarious! Dee does some crazy noises and sounds. It is incredible.

I don't watch much Studio C. I think I've seen 3 skits. Anyway, they were there, and they were funny.

After Studio C, I had to dash off to rehearsal, and I missed the Weasley twins! DANG IT! My conductor got an ear full from me about having rehearsal during comic con.

Friday was  big celebrity day for me! I saw a lot of amazing people!!

I started off by seeing Kristin Bauer. She is Maleficent in Once Upon a Time! She grew up on a farm, and talked a lot about True Blood. For some reason, I had a hard time getting a good picture.

This is Floyd Norman. He works for Disney, and has helped with many of the films we know and love. He even got to work directly with Walt Disney himself on The Jungle Book. His presentation was neat.

SEAN ASTIN!!!! I've been a big fan since I was little. I love Encino Man, and my family quotes it a lot. I love Goonies, Rudy, and of course, Lord of the Rings. He made a grand entrance on a golf cart, and hammed it up after that. He was so much fun to see.

Right after Sean was Sebastian Stan. I love him from Captain America and Once Upon a Time. He was really nice and even spoke some Romanian for us.

Then we rushed to the other side of the building to see Dean O'Gorman who plays Fili in the horrible Hobbit movies. Despite the movies being awful, he was really fun to see. He was charming and funny, and he had an awesome Irish accent. I don't know why I Couldn't get a good picture, we weren't that far away.

Then we RUSHED back to the ballroom for ANTHONY DANIELS!!! He was the best! He didn't need a moderator or anything, he just came out on stage and did his thing. He made us all bow and chant like ewoks, he walked around like C3PO and said epic lines. It was amazing! He was HILARIOUS!

I stayed in the ballroom for Christopher Gorham. I know him from Ugly Betty, Once Upon a Time, and The Other Side of Heaven. He was nice and interesting to hear.

This is Bill Corbett from Rifftrax! He talked a bit about the Rifftrax process and stuff. It was cool. He said he hated doing the Twilight movies and Transformers, but the public wanted those movies riffed!

Saturday wasn't as eventful, but it was still fun.

We started out in a Jane Austen panel. My friend, Shallee was on the panel along with Shannon Hale and Mette Ivie Harrison. It was good, but one person was kinda annoying. She kept complaining and blah blah blah blah. I wanted to kick her off the panel. This was for Austen LOVERS, not gripers!

Next panel was The Future of Video Games. Natalie Whipple was on this panel, and she had awesome things to say. As a gamer, I loved this panel. They talked a lot about controls, DLC, and other gamer concerns. It was awesome!

BEST SURPRISE EVER!! Alan Tudyk was supposed to skype in, but he was there in person!!! Everyone freaked out when he came on stage! It was SO exciting!! He was there promoting a new show called Con Man with Felicia Day and Sean Astin. It is about Cons and making fun of all the people that go. It looks funny, and I want to watch.

The Twisted Toonz panel was my main goal on Saturday. I HAD to be in there and have a good seat. I was successful! It was SO SO FUNNY!!! I could not stop laughing! There was SO much talent on stage. My childhood self was freaking out!

Just to name a few voices these people do: Pinky and the Brain, Yakko, Wacko, Dot, Babs from Tiny Toons, a bunch of Simpson characters, Mom from Futurama, Perry the Platypus, a bunch of impressions, Raph and Donetello from TMNT, and Dee was there doing animal noises! It was EPIC!

We went to a Muppets panel and a TMNT panel after that. They were both fun.

Then we went home.

It was an amazing weekend, and I can't wait to do it again!
