MODERATORS
At least Barbie made sense and had some good feminist messaging. This is what it looks like when people who make stuff don't pay attention to what people like about what was made.
"Hey! People like movies about toys! Let's make more!"
My age cohort has never not been about revisiting our childhoods. Hipster restaurants serving tv dinners on tv trays, 80s nights and covers, reboots of all the shows except Alf, we eat that shit up. I think you massively inflate the influence of the plot of Barbie on its success -- so many people were guaranteed fans from the title alone, even more from title + casting. The toy thing is a gold mine. They will use it to print money for at least a decade. Sorry! will come out in July 2027.
Monopoly the game was a harsh criticism of capitalism. This movie could be great.
