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.”

sincerely think PinkPantheress will one day be considered as defining the sound of the 20s; it’s so difficult play on nostalgia without sounding derivative, so her ability to incorporate nostalgia into her music while remaining innovative is truly novel
Whenever MAPPA (or whoever) teases the first snippet of animated and voice acted ASA...Do you know how many old ladies will be losing their minds in their nursing homes?
