8 Major Comic-Con Revelations Everyone Missed

8. Kevin Smith Has Made A Superhero Movie, And It Looks Rubbish

It’s too easy to make jokes about “everyone” missing Kevin Smith’s Comic-Con panel this year, and that's mainly because it’s almost true. As Star Wars Episode VII’s much-anticipated panel - which preceded Smith’s - culminated with a squad of stormtroopers marching Hall H out of the building to some Star Wars concert going on outside, it left hardly anyone behind for Smith.

You probably heard JJ Abrams later personally apologised to Smith for his accidental transgression, but do you even know what Smith was there to promote (beyond himself, naturally)? That would be his latest movie Yoga Hosers, the second instalment in his True North trilogy (the first being Tusk), a quasi-superhero movie that sounds… questionable at best.

The film concerns two 15-year-old girls obsessed with yoga (Smith’s daughter Harley Quinn Smith and Johnny Depp’s sprog Lily-Rose Depp) teaming up with man-hunter Guy Lapointe (Depp himself, reprising his role from Tusk) to battle an ‘ancient evil’. And what is this ancient evil? The Bratzi, a “Canadian Nazi made of sentient Bratwurst” played by Smith. 

Okay...
