In reality, progressive feminist‘s only objection to what is happening here is that NFL cheerleaders are not paid a living wage and are often sexually harassed at the workplace. We literally like and support these women more than y’all do, we see them as workers with rights.
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.”
CJ and Toby worked SO WELL together the writers had to make up the dumbest space-shuttle storyline to tear them apart and you can’t convince me otherwise
Agents of SHIELD practically did Secret Invasion TWICE and on both times, not once did they ever skip a beat.
Meanwhile the actual Secret Invasion by the MCU with 3x the budget and 3x the celebrities, relied on fridging beloved characters to get a reaction from the fans. 🥀
🚨 let me explain what just happened..
TSA workers .. the people who screen your luggage at airports.. stopped getting paid because Congress couldn't pass funding..
today Trump signed an executive order to fix it.. problem solved.. hero moment..
except..
Congress didn't go rogue.. his party controls it.. the funding stalled because of chaos in his own house.. TSA workers went without pay because of a problem he had the power to prevent..
and he had the power to sign this executive order the entire time..
in 2019, Trump's government shutdown lasted 35 days.. TSA workers called in sick in record numbers.. airports descended into a state of utter confusion.. security lines collapsed.. he eventually ended it the same way.. an executive order..
same playbook.. different year..
create the emergency.. let people suffer through it.. sign the paper.. take the credit..
Somewhere a TSA agent is paying their overdue rent with a paycheck that should have never stopped.
a reminder that some of the best star wars moments have come from star wars animation. if you've dismissed it as "kids cartoons for kids" you're missing out on some amazing star wars.
