Several of the following have previews at the con:

Harry Potter
LOTR
Lego Batman 3 is coming out.
Batman and Marvel plan on celebrating their 75th Anniversary, even if I may not.

The Dare Devil movie sucked because Ben Affleck was getting sucked off by Jennifer Lopez and Katie Holmes in a Scientology The Master billy club three way.
Seriously though, it's not that great, but it didn't deserve the bashing it got.
I still think the Electra/Dare Devil sequence is funny but well intended.

The Incredibles

Disney Theme Park movies

I definitely plan on doing a best of Green Ranger episodes.
A best Green Ranger/White Ranger/Tommy episodes list is long overdue and he'll be at New York Comic Con, where he'll be too busy signing autographs to interview. Sure, everybody else would enjoy him at the con. No Dino Charge news either..

Star Trek really channels the child in me, and the technical jargon's great, but the direction and writing haven't been too classy.

Somebody might want to be Firefly. I doubt I will.

Dr. Who I might cover Matt Smith if I have the time to watch all the episodes.

5 Gareth Edwards' Godzilla 2 featuring Rodan and Ghidorah: I placed this so low on the list, because you have to be careful of overencorporating too many crossovers at the same times, especially in this era of Batman, Supermans, and the Avengers. I think Edwards is given more control than those studios. And he definitely takes more risks than the average director. But is that enough for a classic?

4 Guardians of the Galaxy: The Animated Series
Disney, a company I worked for, which emphasized synergy did all a great move by advertising a
My main concern however is that mostly Star Wars and Marvel projects on Disney XD suck! (Do you really want to compare them to the quality of shows such as Batman: The Animated Series, Rugrats, Recess, Doug, or even Kim Possible? You can't!)

3 Galaxy Quest comic
It's a funny idea, because of how surreal the thing could get. Is it going to be behind the scenes or actually within film-within-a-film universe? So many possibiltiies.

2 Star Trek: Planet of the Apes crossover comic
Kirk vs Dr. Zaius. Epic fight scene that looks like its from West Coast USA!

1 Official Zyuranger DVDs in the US.
I've said all I needed to say about it here. https://tokueasternheroes.wordpress.com/2014/07/26/big-news-for-power-rangers-i-mean-super-sentai-fans/

Review: Escape (1970), Conquest (1971) and Battle (1973) from the Planet of the Apes

My brother who absolutely thought Beneath was a disaster thanks to the special effects really enjoyed the philosophical elements of Escape from the Planet of the Apes. Do you eliminate a perfect good sentient being even knowing possibly that he can ruin the society of the Planet of the Apes?
It also murs the original's continuity a bit like the recent X Men films but with good reason.
Again like Planet there are no bad guys except maybe in this case the humans who imprison apes.
Also, let's get ape drunk!

"I said louder!"
"Lousy human bastards"
Conquest was a tale of religious and racial rebellion, freedom, fate.
The ethics used when using a truth telling machine is interesting.
Going totalitarian over the use of pets is a humorous premise but interesting enough and even has a bit of a Star Wars-like inspiration involved. The violence was a bit low key for its time, but there wasn't much in the US to begin with.
Was it ignorant to compare apes to African American civil rights leaders?
No. They were equals even superiors.

Battle had some nice set design but was a bittersweet end to the franchise with a bittersweet ending. The script felt very rushed not enjoyable and noticeably a lot of people didn't like this film.
