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.”

Hey @Netflix: The first season has 10 episodes and you binge it in a week. The second season airs three years later with 8 episodes that come out in two random chunks six weeks apart for no reason. And by the time it airs, you've forgotten the first season anyway and it's not worth the time to go back and rewatch it.
There. Just saved you a crapton of consulting money. You're welcome.

Nothing but respect for Sheamus for refusing a pay cut after all the blood, sweat and years he’s poured into this company. He wrestled the second match on a random RAW like it was a WrestleMania main event. You don’t do this to someone like him. Genuinely an all time great.
This Is Why We Love Football” — Zlatan Ibrahimović
“People in the USA always ask me why football is the greatest sport in the world. Tonight is the answer.
A nation playing at its first FIFA World Cup stood across from the defending world champions, a team filled with players who have won everything, and they never showed fear for one second.
Cape Verde didn’t park the bus and pray. They defended like lions, yes, but they also believed they could score. They believed they could hurt Argentina, and they did it twice.
Their goalkeeper refused to surrender. Their defenders never stopped fighting. Every substitution brought fresh legs and fresh belief. Even when Messi reminded everyone why he’s one of the greatest players in history, Cape Verde simply got up and fought again.
That’s what impressed me the most. They never accepted that they were supposed to lose.
This wasn’t only the first World Cup match for Cape Verde. This was a message to every small football nation around the world.
You don’t need a population of fifty million to compete. You don’t need the biggest league or the biggest budget. What you need is personality, belief and courage.
Argentina are through, and they deserve credit because champions always find a way.
But Cape Verde leave this tournament with something equally valuable. They leave with respect. Every football fan who watched this game will remember the night a tiny nation stood eye to eye with the world champions and refused to blink.”

🚨📣 Vozinha mengenai apa yang dia ucapkan ke Messi seusai pertandingan:
"Aku menghampirinya, dan bahkan sebelum aku sempat bicara banyak, dia langsung memelukku dan berkata: 'Kerja bagus. Kau kiper yang sangat hebat. Rakyatmu pasti sangat bangga padamu.' Mendengar hal itu dari sosok seperti Leo sungguh sangat berarti bagiku."
"Aku berterima kasih dan menjawab: 'Terima kasih, Leo. Kau yang terbaik.' Lalu aku meminta baju pertandingannya, dia tersenyum dan berkata: 'Tentu saja. Akan kuberikan padamu di lorong ganti.' Momen seperti ini akan selalu aku ingat seumur hidup." ❤️🇨🇻🇦🇷
Sungguh keindahan sepak bola dan kerendahan hati dua sosok luar biasa! ✨🤝
I can’t think of the last time a pro sports league needed a competent commissioner more badly than the WNBA does right now. Maybe the NBA in the early-80s pre-Stern.
