During the Marvel Studios Panel fans got to see clips of both Captain America (which only has 5 days of shooting so far) and Thor (which is much further along), but the talk of the show was the entire Avengers cast on stage.

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk. Joining them was Director Joss Whedon and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige

Whedon announced “I’ve had a dream all my life, and it was not this good! …and I am going to blow it!”

The movie is nowhere near filming yet, and even further from release, but with the role of Bruce Banner recast for the 2nd time in a decade, its one step closer to being reality.

Most of the talk at SDCC is about the massive live action Avengers movie coming in 2 years, but this is something we’ll be able to watch really soon.

The series will premiere this fall on Disney XD with 26 half hour episodes.

During a live stream of Marvel VS Capcom 3 with play-by-play annoucements, Capcom-Unity‘s Seth Killian let slip that veteran voice actor Nolan North performs the role of Deadpool. This is actually the first confirmation of any of the voice talent in the game.

North is one of the best known voice actors in games today, with notable roles as Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, Halo 3 ODST’s Romeo and The Prince of Persia himself. He was also Raphael in the acclaimed movie TMNT as well as literally dozens of other voice roles.

North actually played Deadpool once before in the Marvel Animated DVD “Hulk VS”

Of course they didn’t just set up the Throne of Asgard just for Stan Lee.

Marvel studios rolled out The Destroyer, the enchanted armor that will be worn by the big bad of next summer’s “Thor: Mighty Avenger”

The SDCC Marvel Studios panel is beginning as this post is going up, we expect to bring more news on Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers soon.

Capcom takes on all comers. First they pitted their Street Fighters against X-Men, then the entire Marvel Universe, rival developer SNK, and finally Tatsunoko anime stars. Who’s next?

Never stepping away from a challenge, Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono was approached by Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada live at ComiCon, and sure enough they had a new tag team game ready to demo. Ryu and Chun Li from Street Fighter against Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams of Tekken! The game will be in 2D, similar to the Street Fighter IV and developed by Capcom. Ono-san says its early in development, so we’ll have to keep playing SFIV and then Marvel VS Capcom 3 before we’ll get our hands on the new game, titled “Street Fighter x Tekken.”

Tekken Die-hards will be pleased to know a 3D game similar to Tekken 6 is also in production called Tekken x Street Fighter at Namco.

Capcom Unity has more screen shots!

Icon Heroes was present at SDCC to show off their new Thundercats line of mini-statues.
ActionFigurePics.com has a small gallery of what was on display from Preview Night. They had the Lion-O staction, both the SDCC Exclusive and regular version on display along with the new Thunderclaw vehicle staction. It comes with another Lion-O mini-statue as a driver and is in scale to the rest of the line, meaning it is quite large. I have included a size comaprison photo from the company’s site for reference with the Thunderclaw next to the regular release Lion-O 6 inch mini-statue. Also on display was a fully painted Jackalman staction and an unpainted prototype of Lynx-O. I like what I’m seeing from this line. Its unfortunate they were unable to obtain the actual toy license for this property instead of settling on a mini-statue license.

So back in the day, MTV actually had a decent helping of good programming to its name, in tandem with the music component it has since lost. In the 1990’s, you had shows such as Beavis and Butthead (I didn’t say they were intellectually-stimulating, mind you), which showcased the network’s mindset of pushing the envelope with mindless entertainment for it’s core audience – teen and 20-something men.

But then the balance came out in the form of Daria in 1997. Daria Morgandorffer started as a side character on Beavis and Butthead to serve as a foil for the two brainless teen boys. MTV execs approached the series story editor with the idea of creating a spin-off series starting Daria. The Go-ahead was given, and in March of 1997, the first of 13 episodes aired for the new series and an animated legacy was born. Sorta.
