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.”

Nikki is a villain too.
The moment she gets the final One-Wish Willow, she doesn’t wish to heal or undo the trauma. Instead, she stoops to Bear’s exact level by taking away someone else’s free will and forcing them to love her back.
Bear didn’t stop purging the pills out of love. Nikki’s desperate wish overrode his survival instinct and trapped him in his own body. In trying to possess him forever, she accidentally killed him through a magical overdose.
Bear started the cycle of obsession, but Nikki chose to continue it.
She had the chance to break the cycle…
Instead, she became exactly what she hated.

ImDontai CRASHES OUT on a viewer in his chat who complained that GTA 6 is overpriced due to locked content that was free in previous games, while also calling Rockstar Games a bad company for mistreating employees and massive layoffs 😳
“I DONT GIVE A FCK. I’m still going to play the game. If that’s how you really feel, don’t watch anybody playing the game, don’t watch any reviews, and don’t support it in any way. I hate n*ggas like you. Y’all are the fakest people ever, your broke and your a b-tch idgaf.”
The logline & trailer for Jonathan Majors' new film for The Daily Wire has been revealed:
“When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce Sharia law on students, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears & a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers & keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil.”
Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes are reportedly planning to build a secret “War Room” bunker that would operate under a strict no-women-allowed policy.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
