Why barbie is more popular than Oppenheimer? - eviltoast

Watched Oppenheimer today. It’s a fantastic film. Christopher Nolan is a fucking genius. The way the movie is structured, the quality of scenes, the general feel, everything is so refreshing. It was a revelation when most of the movies releasing are woke shit.

But still barbie gets more popular than Oppenheimer? What? I watched trailers and reviews of barbie and from what I know, it’s a woke shit that tells matriarchy is better than patriarchy, with a bit of comedy admittedly. I mean yes they can have their freedom of speech, but how does a film like that shadows a fucking artwork like Oppenheimer? What am I missing?

    The world is on fire. People want to relax. Barbie does that better than Oppenheimer, which mostly just reminds us of the fragility of our existence and that there are people out there trying to destroy the world for whatever reason they’ve gotten into their heads.
