Ascending Innovation: Exploring the Elevator Market
The global Elevator Market size was valued at $ 82.07 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach $ 137.57 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.6% from 2024 to 2030.
The rapid pace of urbanization worldwide has significantly contributed to the growth of the elevator market. As cities expand to accommodate increasing population and address space constraints, the
demand for efficient vertical transportation systems such as elevators has surged considerably.
propping up a white side character for the promotion at sdcc instead of assad zaman's armand—the third main lead for your show!—is definitely a choice btw. "oh well we only have 3 walls 🤪" my ass.
What is an elevator pitch? It’s a proposal that can be delivered in about 60 seconds verbally or in a single written page of text. The term is standard in marketing. A great elevator pitch novel writers can use to sell their novels should have at least the following 5 features:

There's a lot more of the city than one would think! Instead of expanding outwards though, it expands downwards. Given that there's at least three levels of the city, it kind of makes sense? However the origin for the downwards level is kind of sweet. The downwards level is home to Steve. Elevator Steve if you want to be fancy about it.
The hollowed out ground underneath at the time was the only place where he could fit, seeing as he's a massive eldritch squid from outer space and understandably, dealing with a Ridley issue isn't fun. (I.e., he's too got damb big to fit.) Of course, though, having him just live in dirt while everyone else gets to live in a nice city seemed rude, no matter how cool Steve was with it.
So it lead to the creation of the downstairs portion of the city. It's large and roomy enough for Steve to fit in plus so much more and is all grey stone and chilled, which makes sense given it's underground and well.. stone. It's not just Steve that lives there though as it's also home to monsters that simply can't be out during the day or have a house topside without running the risk of accidentally getting cooked to death via sunlight peeking through the curtains.
It's not all housing though as the downstairs section is also home to just as many places to eat and shop as well as another open-air market!
Not to rant about thg but to rant abt thg something that has always bothered me with all the hunger games dupes in the 2010s is the way they hollowly take aspects and apply them on a blanket level onto their world. Like a big critique of the ya genre is "why is it always teenagers in these situations" when thg had this clear explicit reason as to why the age range was teenagers and what that said about this society Suzanne Collins was trying to set up. A fictional society she was pretty explicitly using as a critique of real world american culture. Like it is not subtle!
And yes obviously ya novels use primarily 12-18 yr olds in their stories is because that age rage is typically the most marketable and the hunger games isn't this like radical exception to that, but what makes it stand out to me is that she had a narrative reason for that trope that isn't just "highschool kids meddling"
Just like how so many take the idea of "oppression government" and "being grouped into different divisions of society" at completely face value and don't try to add any meaningful depth. Even the love triangle, an aspect of those books I see torn to shreds constantly, was used as a device to analyze Katniss's character and motivations AND a way to explore that even her relationships are under control of this government. It all had purpose.
i think ppl kinda miss the point of why pink femme girl power aesthetics are empowering to some women, and this isnt specifically about the barbie movie bc i havent seen it so idk how its gonna pull the whole thing off, but it has definitely sparked a lot of discourse around this. but its not about "telling girls its ok to be feminine" because of course the society already pushes femininity onto women. its just that women are devalued, and women are devalued no matter what they do, however femininity is FOR women and it is because of that association with women that femininity is also devalued (regardless of gender, but even when performed by women). it is an expectation, but it is taken for granted. like for example it is expected for women to do makeup and care about fashion, however it is simultaneously taken as something shallow and frivolous to have as an interest or hobby, and people who point out that it actually takes a lot of skill and artistry are dismissed and brushed off. and again this is a skill that is just expected that all women will have! and celebrating femininity, in for example movies like legally blonde, is saying that no, there is inherent value in this thing, there is inherent value and skill and use in having traditionally feminine hobbies, feminine women had to work and femininity doesnt make someone lesser. and when we accept these as their own skills, hobbies, interests, hopefully we can also separate them from womanhood, and we can accept women as, yknow, their natural state. femininity is an action and it has value but women should damn well opt out of it if they want to.
