GENT – Op de het popcultuurfestival FACTS was het vandaag over de koppen lopen op de stand van Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday. Omwille van de populariteit van het MCU’s nieuwe culminatiepunt, maar ook omdat tientallen fans van onder meer Marvel en Star Trek samenkwamen voor een ‘fan tribute’ aan de recent overleden acteur Sir Patrick Stewart.

Tientallen fans van verschillende slag die broederlijk naast elkaar gaan staan, Vulcan salutes en mind blasts in de aanslag in het decor van een superheldenfilm. Het was een magisch moment dat FACTS ten voeten uit beschrijft.

De dood van algemeen geliefd acteur Sir Patrick Stewart ging twee dagen voor aanvang van het festival als een schokgolf door menig community heen. De nood aan gemeenschapsgevoel was extra groot.

“Dit is een van die momenten van écht gemeenschapsgevoel die steeds zeldzamer wordt in het dagelijkse leven”, zegt Anthony Audenaerd, show manager van FACTS. “Geen scherm, wel echte liefde voor films en series. Op FACTS is er oprechte interactie, met hun helden, onder elkaar en met nostalgische settings.”

Het geeft een inkijk in de emotionele connectie die tienduizenden mensen vandaag voelden bij een foto met bekende koppen als Martin Kove en William Zabka van The Karate Kid, Tim Downie van Outlander, Maria Zhang van Avatar, Ross Marquand van The Walking Dead en Mark Williams van Harry Potter. Voor de ene was die bekendheid een houvast in zijn jeugd. Voor de andere een afleiding in donkere tijden of een icoon ‘van de goeie ouwe tijd.'

Die connectie is er net zo goed met de Vlaamse en nationale popcultuur, zo blijkt. De belangstelling voor de ruime tentoonstelling van FC De Kampioenen-kostuums en -attributen gaf al een mooie prelude voor de ontmoetingen met de cast op zondag. De meet & greet met K3 'Superhelden', de expositie van 45 jaar De Smurfen op tv, de stormloop voor de nieuwe Nonkels-stripvoorstelling door onder meer acteur Manu Van Acker en Lectrr, het Vlaamse en nationale patrimonium heeft ook op FACTS een plek.

Morgen is er nog een eerbetoon, op zondag 1 november, met acteur Ross Marquand (Aaron in The Walking Dead en Red Skull / Ultron in MCU). Wie ook dan wil komen genieten van films, series, games en Halloween-griezels, kan nog tickets krijgen op www.facts.be/nl!
