I was mainly joking about how They Live has a really long fistfight in the middle of it, not that the Barbie movie is like an ad. I can see what you mean though, movies that feel like they exist as an advertisement (even if the movie itself isn't bad) can just feel a bit exhausting.
For me it’s more ethereal quality of barbie of being fed, idk, american ideology? neoliberalism? childishness? like i’ve had closest indescribable feeling for transformers, despite barbie being generally liked by critics and people (especially compared to transformers).
people generally don’t agree with me on that comparison lmao, thus they live association and this meme in the opposite direction (everyone is 9/10, meanwhile im seething at having watched and finished it)
