It’s interesting that you call the characters cartoonishly stupid, but another poster in this thread characterized the film as “so grounded in reality that it took very little creativity to write or think about. Making 1-to-1 comparisons of things and people”. I have not seen the film yet, so I’m a little curious how opinions could differ so widely.

Can you give an example of something from the film you thought was so cartoonishly stupid?

It’s more like the protagonists are grounded in reality, and the villains are cartoonishly stupid, so there’s some dissonance.

Personally I was okay with it but some of the bits (like the vapid news show or how the titular Don’t Look Up meme comes about) were too much for me.
