THE COMIC-CON CONSPIRACY
This past weekend over 125,000 intensely passionate people descended on San Diego to hear debates on the nature of good and evil, hang on every word as expert panels discussed issues of global survival, and make monumental decisions about who most deserves their loyalty in 2010.
And after four days a new movement was born – to make Iron Man 2 an epic success next summer.
But if you think I’m about to make fun of the fanboys and geeks at Comic-Con, you’re wrong. Because this “Celebration of the Popular Arts” isn’t the big joke they’ve made themselves out to be. In fact, it is the harbinger of The End of the World as We Know It.
The Barrier between our Earth-1 Universe and the Comic-Book Universe is disappearing.
Look for yourself. Everything is becoming less real. Fantasy is overwhelming reality. The Democrats control most of the government.
In fact, it started during FDR’s administration when the first comic books appeared around 1938. Then the bleed continued into the 40’s and 50’s with movie serials and television shows. And there’s new evidence that TV Superman George Reeves began to suspect the Conspiracy right before he mysteriously “committed suicide.”
With Reeves out of the way, the floodgates opened.
Fantasy movies now make up nine out of the top ten films of all time – and that’s counting “Titanic” as a “real” story. Video games consume the population in a virtual world of avatars and digital destruction. Music idols are manufactured in assembly line regularity. The World Wrestling Federation. Remote control wars. TV evangelists. Comic book personalities get elected to run the country.
Then re-elected.
So when somebody like Walter Cronkite passes from the scene, you look around for the “real” journalist to take his place and what do you find? Have you seen cable news lately?
So the Barrier is just about gone. It’s the same in sports, politics, entertainment, business, art, religion and every other part of what used to pass for Real Life. Except science. Science still prefers reality.
That’s why the Comic-Con Conspiracy invented Science Fiction.
