Downplay a book or movie The Empire Claps Back.
I specifically remember seeing this in San Diego during a SDCC weekend. I guess this started the grand tradition of Marvel inexplicably releasing their big summer movies during Comic Con.
On August 1, 1986, Howard The Duck premiered in theaters. NEVER FORGET.
This song is in my head constantly so why not share it with everyone whenever I come in a room... youtu.be/gAQAMU3MrBs?...

So I put this question to you now: what's yours? This is for a live forum, so it can be anything, no concern for DMCA takedowns; you can change it once a year, and you can have a backup song in case someone else on the same panel uses your primary music.
*standing up on the plane* Why can no one at Lucasfilm have a clear and concise vision on how many fingers a Hutt has? Episode 6? Jabba has 2 fingers and a thumb on each hand. All media since then (including the cameo in Episode 4) 3 FINGERS! Now in the streaming era, all Hutts have gone back to 2!
*standing up on the plane* Carl Barks had a lot of jobs in various fields before pursuing a career in art, which led him to become an animator at Disney. But he was unhappy & decided to start a chicken farm, but was invited to do work for Dell Comics, where he became known as the good duck artist...

Star Wars. I was 9 and my parents wanted to drag me to this movie I’d never heard of on the same night that 8 is Enough & Grizzly Adams were on TV. I went into it wanting to hate it and come out of it with my entire life irrevocably changed. I blame them and thank them for the way things turned out
ok let's do a different, more positive movie question: what movie did you go into thinking you weren't going to like it and ended up loving it? for me, it's father of the year with robin williams
(In Indiana Jones' voice when he sees the snakes in the Well of Souls) "A week. Why is it only a week before I leave for Comic Con?"
Just saw that the current Disney Comics license holder is doing a Kickstarter to reprint the old DuckTales books INCLUDING the Boom! Studios run. Further evidence that my work on the Darkwing books (that was left out of the DW Kickstarter) will never see print again. So grab these while you can!
Coming to SDCC are the last of my Darkwing Duck comics. I’ll have bundles of The Duck Knight Returns, Crisis On Infinite Darkwings plus copies of the original SDCC and NYCC exclusives and select individual issues. All are blank in case you’d like a certified signature.

An art director once told me “Can you make your dinosaurs less cool?” Mam, to your intended audience, the only thing dinosaurs can be is “cool”
If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.
