The Barbie movie had one of the best marketing campaigns I have ever seen dating back to the initial announcements. But I think they lost the plot with this contrived connection to Oppenheimer. It feels forced and kind of turns me off to both movies. I try to be a good sport and enjoy the whole marketing production for these kind of cultural events (meaning the Barbie movie), but then they come in hot with this absurd upsell and it just rubs me wrong.

I don't really see them as forcing it. I think people just enjoy the crossover idea of Barbie having constructed the atomic bomb, and they think that's funny.
