Iman Vellani on the statement that “Gen Z doesn’t care about superhero films”:
“I dont 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 & 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 & 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 & grow alongside their audience.”

@pourlesjolies Really hope this is a "O what a weird coincidence we're all making something about lemon haha" and not a "all kpop companies are using AI and they all got suggested the same thing"
these companies would charge you a subscription fee to even think about their games if they could and this weirdo would defend the megacorp on principle
This morning, after Nadiem was sentenced to 10 years in jail, it’s clear that Google needs to take a strong official stand.
The Indonesian judges sullied Google’s name, claiming without evidence the U.S. giant engaged in bribery to win a Chromebook laptop contract.
In this fiction, Google invested in Nadiem’s company, GoJek. In return, Nadiem, who left GoJek to become Education Minister, ordered the purchase of Chromebooks.
Prosecutors failed to put any evidence forward to back this defamatory allegation. Yet Nadiem got 10 years. Why? Because he tried to reform a corrupt ministry and made a lot of enemies.
How can Google remain silent in the face of these baseless allegations. Just because a judge said it, doesn’t make it any less defamatory.
I would expect Sapna Chadha and other senior Google leaders in the region to show the backbone to speak up now. Nadiem was Google’s trusted partner for years. They invested in his company. Will they remain quiet just to protect their business in Indonesia. Where are they in his time of need?
An Indonesian court ruled that Nadiem Makarim, co-founder of tech firm Gojek and a former education minister, was guilty of corruption and sentenced him to 10 years in prison https://t.co/0oGunXxcwN
we're genuinely 10 years into the donald trump era and people are still trying to do the "erm did you see the tweets" type politics. this just doesn't work
🚨 Nadiem Makarim divonis 10 tahun penjara.
- Denda 1 Milyar ganti 190 hari
- Denda 809 Milyar ganti 5 tahun
Hakim juga menolak seluruh nota pembelaan (pledoi) yang diajukan terdakwa.
Astagfirullah. Emang udah ga ada yg namanya keadilan di Indonesia ini 💔💔💔💔
Momen ketika tim kuasa hukum Nadiem Makarim melakukan protes kepada majelis hakim, karena setelah pembacaan putusan, majelis hakim tidak memberikan kesempatan kepada terdakwa untuk berbicara menyampaikan sikap.
Kojima loves cinema. He goes to movies because he's passionate about them. Him liking or disliking them is a bonus. His reviews are about what the film made him feel. That's why leaving it at I watched X is terrible. The worst sin a movie can commit is making u feel nothing.
