How are like half of these even going to work. UNO movie? Magic 8 Ball movie? Viewmaster movie? How are you going to differentiate Hotwheels and Matchbox? Are they going to make a the Barnie movie for GROWNUPS? Wtf is Major Matt Mason? Why do Mattel own Wishbone? Who's goddamn idea was this.
(Kinda excited for a Masters of the Universe movie though not going to lie)

I'm not embarrassed that I liked it but the fact that a giant corporation that exploited girls for money made a movie that commodified anti-capitalism and criticized themselves exploiting girls for money in order to sell more toys that exploit girls left a really bad taste in my mouth
Corpos gotta play all sides. Sell salty fries, sell sugary drinks, sell insulin.
That's where I'm at. I want to, and probably will, watch the movie because it looks fun and very gay and I'm very gay, but at the end of the day it's just a Mattel toy advert.
Could be because you're a leftist and its mass market so you feel gauche for it, could be leftover internalized cultural bullshit about what things you're supposed to enjoy (if you're amab) or what shit you feel like you shouldnt enjoy to avoid stereotypes (if you're afab), could be a combination. Idk.

You just don't get it being a leftist means you have to hate everything it's literally praxis

Another grudge you can add to the list.
Also that comment you linked is not about the Barbie movie, it's about the Oppenheimer movie, responding to someone who disliked it. Saying that the reason they disliked the big bwaaam movie is baby brained. You're fighting shadows here.
Personally I haven't watched either movie and will pirate both as soon as it's possible, just to see what the fuss is about. I haven't really kept up with movies and pop culture that much, but everyone seems to be making a big deal about all this stuff and the two movies so I guess it will be fun.
