Any narratives that argue it's misandrist are erroneous IMO. While it does explore the difficulty of being a woman, it does a pretty good job of doing so not at the expense of men.
At the periphery it acknowledges that men are just struggling to find meaning for themself which I think was great. And honestly, even thought the Barbie movie is going to get more flack I feel like movies like the Mary Sue movies of the late 2010s were much less respectful to men than this movie. And ultimately it's not a movie about men, it's about women, and though I cannot give a perfect perspective on that, it seems to do a good job exploring the whole ideas of femininity. In short, for what it was going for, I think it did a really good job. DISCUSS --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif ...

Honestly the whole Barbie/Oppenheimer juxtaposition was to rev up the film industry again after covid and Marvel/superhero genre fatigue. I think someone in the film industry did some good PR maneuvering to orcestrate the whole thing. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think someone in the film industry did some good PR maneuvering to orchestrate the whole thing. Honestly, it might have been organic. But Barbie was a legitimately good "girl movie" and Oppenheimer was a legitimately good "guy movie" but also neither were perfect. It was an interesting pairing to be sure, but I appreciated both movies almost at the same level even though I'm like 100% in the Oppenheimer demographic and 0% in the Barbie one. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif ...

Yeah, I think Barbenheimer was an organic meme at first based on a coincidence in release dates, and they just leaned into it.
It was basically like DOOM Eternal and Animal Crossing. --- ...I think I'm done here... ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dunno, the entire Holloywood scene is about apperances. Maybe the entire thing was organic but I have my doubts. I thought both movies were sorta memey so I didn't have much interest in either. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Haven't seen it but I'm sure I will when it releases to a streaming service. My wife and kids went to see it last weekend and really liked it.
