There is no way they actually removed 5v5 qp for this...
Im really trying to stay positive but i cant, why do i even keep buying skins when i cant even play the game anymore, i do not like 6v6 and id rather not play at all than play that, this is not the game i fell in love...
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.”

i feel so bad for the people that worked on this. you can tell by their reactions to the leak that this was a real passion project and paramount could not give less of a fuck. worst thing that can happen to an animator, genuinely.
