Questions & Answers about Questa fiera del fumetto è talmente deludente che me ne vado.

Why use talmente here instead of così?
Both talmente ... che and così ... che mean "so [adjective] that". They are completely interchangeable in this context. Talmente is just a slightly stronger or more emphatic alternative to così.
Why is it fiera del fumetto (singular) when it refers to a convention with many comics?
In Italian, noun complements that describe a type or general category often use the singular form, even if multiple items are logically implied. A convention about comics is la fiera del fumetto, just like apple juice is succo di mela.
What exactly is me ne doing in me ne vado? Could I just say vado?
Me ne vado comes from the pronominal verb andarsene (to leave, to go away). The me is the reflexive pronoun mi (which changes to me before another pronoun), and ne means "from here". While vado simply means "I go", me ne vado puts the focus on the act of abandoning the current location, much like "I'm getting out of here".
Is deludente directly formed from a verb?
Yes, it is the present participle of the verb deludere (to disappoint). In Italian, present participles ending in -ante or -ente frequently function as adjectives. Here, it translates perfectly to the English adjective "disappointing".
