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?

    Your comment of “woke shit” and “pls be civil” cancel each other out there.

    But with not seeing either movie, I would say the big difference is Barbie is a family movie. Now is Oppenheimer a better movie from a technical standpoint? Absolutely, but parents can’t really drop the kids off to go watch a rate R movie.
