Iman Vellani on the statement that Gen Z doesn’t care about superhero movies:
“I don’t agree that Gen Z has stopped caring about superheroes. Maybe they’ve just stopped feeling obligated to show up.
Our generation has grown up with an abundance of superhero stories, so perhaps the novelty has worn off — which is natural.
The bar is higher now. We’re looking for stories that feel specific and emotional — especially in the age of AI. We want honesty from our storytellers. We want our intelligence respected.
If anything, I think Gen Z responds incredibly well to superheroes when they’re treated as people first. The themes of grief, identity, legacy, belonging — they’re timeless and will never age out.
Every genre goes through cycles. Westerns did. Musicals did. Romcoms did. So the answer isn’t to abandon the genre, but to find new stories that only be told through THIS genre.
At the end of the day, I think we just want these films to evolve and grow alongside their audience.”
@HeyTerezi Oh yeah dude is basically what happens when someone who fantasises about killing as a way to vent power. Just goes on a spree attacking and killing anyone who wronged or even annoyed him.
@BysCys68812 One just had the rock stroking his ego with the character but yeah that’s no where near as bad as your character getting associated with memes that flooded the internet so much it got sony pictures to rerelease the movie thinking that it would sell well from it and it didn’t lol
@DreadCentral Love to see that especially if they adapted enough of it to include the absolute tank of a man that is Walter. Love to see the fights he has against users of the mask and scenes of him in general adapted just cause of how brutal and crazy they get
imagine if this just saved the DCU like how golden age comics with gorillas on the front cover just inexplicably sold way more than comics without gorillas
@AbbyTabbys The sister you loved and the pony you had a crush on that wasn’t into you. Not surprised it leaves patches with mixed emotions but in the end they just don’t want to be rude to them.
@Cae_saR_16@NovoRomantic If I had to guess maybe some of the buyers were paparazzi types thinking whatever is in that trash might have something they can make a story out of. Like a grosser version of a lootbox lol
@I__HATE_SOCCER and we got two other catgirls left of the main gang
won’t get into spoilers but ones just as bad as the drug and smoke cat but probably worse and the other is probably the most normal of the group but her thing is more dorky
