[RYAN BRODERICK MOTHERBOARD.TV] Hi I’m Ryan Broderick from
[RYAN BRODERICK MOTHERBOARD.TV] Motherboard.tv and we’re talking
about romance at Comic-Con today and we’re having a sexy old time.
[LOVE AND HATE AT COMIC CON]
Okay and how many years have you guys been going to Comic-Con?
This is my second year.
This is our second year together, yeah.
Now are you guys dating?
You can’t tell but I’m much older than her.
I can’t tell, no.
I’m her uncle.
Oh, even more interesting.
Free hugs!
No, I'm good.
Free hugs!
Have you noticed a lot of sexual deviancy at Comic-Con?
Yeah because for some reason you get in a costume
and they think they can do whatever they want.
What's your name?
Can you not talk?
One guy who took my picture and then he said I have great legs
and he just wanted to take a picture of my legs.
And then I have two guys who are dressed up like Naruto
and they’re following me.
Well I met a lot of girls in costume.
You know, I haven’t gotten any numbers yet
but I’ve gotten a few pictures with them.
This is me with Phoenix
and this is me with... I forgot her name, Barbara something?
That’s me with Sailor Moon, I guess?
This is me with a vampire girl, she’s trying to bite my neck
and suck my blood.
I thought it would be a sea of sausage fests, I didn’t expect any girls
and thank god so many girls...
Do you think this would ever be the kind of place
where you’d bring a girlfriend?
Oh, no.
No? Bachelor weekend at Comic-Con?
An X-rated Comic-Con.
Oh yeah.
Watch out for this kind of pudgy guy in a Batman cape.
I saw him!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
He’s grabbing people!
Yes! You did hear about it!
Oh my god yes, it was him who grabbed me and I was just like
“oh my gosh, that’s inappropriate.”
You smell nice.
Okay, thank you!
So maybe not so much romance at Comic-Con, more like sex
and inappropriate sexual behavior at Comic-Con.
Free hugs from Zatanna!
Anybody?
No one?
I think there are a lot of posers here.
There are a lot of people in off the rack superhero outfits
just dressed as the handful of mainstream characters
like Batman and Superman and there aren’t enough people
that are putting a lot of work into coming up with a unique
interpretation of a character.
I wouldn’t say they’re posers, you know everyone’s got their own thing
if you’re into it that’s cool.
But when it comes to “Star Wars” we do have our own conventions
next one coming up in August next year 2012- “Episode VI Celebration.”
Have you experienced anything romantic
happen to you while you’re at Comic-Con?
Not really.
A lot of people smell kind of funny, that’s not really romantic.
Where should I be looking for romance at Comic-Con?
