People who think a movie about plastic dolls.

[Danascot]

59. Barbenheimer

The underlying premise of all the jokes — that these films come out on the same day but are about hilariously different subjects and have wildly different tones — is misguided. The two movies actually have a fundamental, and disturbing, common ground. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man behind our nuclear age, and Barbie — a toy that takes more than three cups of oil to produce before it lingers in landfills around the world — both tell the story of the dawn of our imperiled era.

I was puzzled and amused when I read that people were linking the two movies. However the essay the above quote is from is thought provoking.

‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ tell the same terrifying story
