Well, Clouddancer had desribed it perfectly well, those people in the booth are Goons, and of course we all know how "intelligent" Goons are.
Just make sure to take some pictures if TJ has ever decided to use her yoyo on the clueless marketing people. Would love to see a swan in action!
And if I read it correctly, IMAGI is talking about ancient Samurai history in the movie. Are this people confused between a Samurai and a Ninja?It is like confusing between a spy like James Bond and General Hawk from GI Joe!

So trues Saturn that's what I was thinking... Maybe that's why the idea got scrapped!
I hold out hope that SOMEONE who is involved in making the movie actually takes the time to watch the series.

Well, everyone at the booth is so focused on Astroboy I really do not think they have much idea on other things they were advertising.
And to give them credit, if you can give goons credit the picture of the Swan, I will assume that is who it is, is not dressed AS the Swan. A youngish girl holding her yo-yo "walking the dog" trick, I believe it is called, down by her leg.

We're all hanging out here to find out what went on at the Comic Con!
James, are you out there!!! I heard a rumour that you were there...

James was there, but I'm not sure if he's home yet.
There's not much for me to add here, except to say that generally the people who run these booths are very low level personnel. These AREN'T the people doing the movie. The act that they didn't recognize my costume just says to me that Imagi isn't focusing on it yet, so they hadn't been educated, KWIM?
BUT... I went by that booth every day (3 days in costume) and on the last day I went without a costume and the head 'goon' lady there recognized me... "Gatchaman, right?" she asked. Ah well, at least she'll repor that there was a psycho lady in a Gatchaman costume who visited every day.

TJ did you give them your details so they could contact you for advice about the movie...

I visited everyday as well. But they did not say anything to me, even when I was standing in their way as they handed out Astro boy posters.

I'm baaaaack! I had such a great time meeting everyone...and spending time giggling with TJ and CD! The three of us were giddy as we stood watching the teaser at the Imagi booth. I have to say, it looks pretty good...and Joe is HOT! Most of the preview was of him in his car, taking out some goons who looked like they were in the middle of some weapons deal. And Jun looked cute, but really young! Everyone at the Gatchacon seemed to think that this was just old footage from before Jun took over, though...so it may not even be in the movie...

Thanks Springie!!!
I wonder why they would make Jun look so young in the first place????
A hot looking condor...how can you lose!!!

JMHO, but I think the shot of Jun was supposed to be her as a child, during the first Galactor attack. In other words, BEFORE she joined the KNT.
Yes, Joe was HOT and better yet, instantly recognizable as Joe.
I forgot to comment on the Samurai thing earlier. I'm not the most knowledgeable person on this, so perhaps others will correct me, but it is my understanding that despite being CALLED ninjas, the KNT actually bear more resemblance in function to samurai. Regardless, there are elements of both in the KNT we know and love.

Yes, I was there, and yes, I'm home. I got in last night, and am now busy trying to get caught up on things that got piled up while I was away...

Not from before Jun took over, but recent test footage to see how things looked and moved. Like Condorfan said after seeing the footage at Anime Expo:

This was basically the same thing that the Imagi people at the booth (At least those with at more than two active brain cells to rub together...) reiterated regarding the footage.

Thanks for all the updates everyone....
Glad to have back some of our gang, it was rather quiet around here without you all.
Now if you don't mind, I'm going to 
over the thought of a sexy Condor. The comment made by TJ saying that even better he's recognizable as the Condor, makes it all the better.

Welcome back, Everyone! We missed you all while you were at Comic Con! Seems you all had a great time though.
And thanks for all the updates and news! Hopefully the Imagi folks will keep Joe looking the way he did in the test footage. Don't want them messing around with hottness and having him become not-hot!! I want to be 
when the film is released!!!!!

I'm glad everyone here who went to Comic Con had a good time. Thanks for sharing the details! I'll be leaving Nova Scotia tomorrow to head back to Indianapolis (sob!), but I guess I can't stay here forever (I do have a fic to finish...)
Posted by Ebonyswanne on 30-07-2008 at 00:30:
Iboriga you do have a ficcie to finish!! Make sure you don't miss that flight...

if she was as dedicated as TJ and Springie she would be taking a notebook with her so she could write in her free time. Actually I thought I might find the inspiration while I was away and do some writing as well which is why I took my laptop with me ... unfortunately, the wrong kind of inspiration struck.

CD does that mean you'll be writing Smut in your stories now!! Spending time with those two Swans really did corrupt you even more...

I'm glad everyone had a good time and made it home safely. I'm glad you all are back..we need more smut!
That is a hot looking Joe in that footage...but whether or not they keep it remains to be seen. I liked the action though, fast paced and fun.

Smut .... No, at least not smut like you and TJ write, maybe at some stage the prequel to smut. No I was thinking more of the silliness and laughs the three of us had, creating weird mecha, Galactor captains and getting the team into and out of trouble.
