SDCC2023 is definitely feeling the impact of the SAGAFTRA & WGA strikes. Here's another way ComicCon could've been an effective way to get out the union's message. OPINION / SDCC writersstrike
When you start off an editorial with a premise like that – considering how heated the environment currently is – it's important to get a few things out of the way. First, when it comes to the WGA & SAG-AFTRA members taking on the AMPTP by authorizing a strike, we have that very rare instance in life where choosing between the"heroes" and"big-bads" is pretty obvious.
San Diego, California, USA – July 24 2022: Signs for"San Diego Comic Con International" 2022 at the San Diego Convention Center. Second, this is not a criticism of how SAG-AFTRA's been running their house because right now, the court of popular opinion is strongly on the side of SAG-AFTRA President. Think of this more as a"What If…?" scenario.
I know there are already some eyes rolling after having read that – and I get it. SAG-AFTRA granted a negotiation extension to July 12th, and it looks like the AMPTP did nothing more with the time than do some last-minute PR pushing for what they have coming out in the short term and solidifying their strike response plans.
And if the studios and streamers don't like it? They can always try to shut things down – and how does that look? Can you imagine panels & presentations being shut down after the first day of SDCC because things got a little too real? That's a level of"bad press stink" that doesn't easily come off – and I think we all know just how"passionate" fanbases can be when you mess with the shows they like and the people involved with them.
