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.
