This week on Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse Blaze Snider exposes the media’s wildest gaslighting campaign of the summer: the Jurassic World: Rebirth vs Superman vs Fantastic Four: First Steps box office narrative. Everyone’s saying Jurassic World: Rebirth “crushed” the superhero competition, but hold on a sec…
Superman is beating it domestically! Fantastic Four is doing much better than Thunderbolts aaand Captain America: Brave New World. And yet somehow, both superhero films got painted as disappointments, while Jurassic World, the WORST performing entry in its franchise YET, got crowned king?! Here we break down how the media propped up a dinosaur flop to discredit two superhero films, using Superman as a false benchmark and then dragging it down to prop up Marvel’s faltering Fantastic Four. The end result? A convenient obituary for superhero movies...that isn’t backed up by facts. Tune in for the real numbers, the real story, and the real reason they’re lying to you about what’s actually working in Hollywood right now.
Thank you for listening to The Coolest Geek Alive Episode #214 - Jurassic LIE: Superman Wins, Fantastic Four Survives & Jurassic World…Flops?! (How They SPUN a Dino Dud into a Superhero Funeral!)
