Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Feeling ko di iaaddress ng movie yung excessive consumerism associated with Barbie. Baka parang SATC yung take nila, na yung fashion and accessories ay kailangan para sa self-actualization, na totoo naman, kaso dapat ibalanse sa climate change issues and how the fashion industry is a contributor to the problem.
I'm so demanding, I know. ๐ Naniniwala kasi ako sa kasabihang, "with great power comes great expectations." So nag expect ang lola mo.
Knowing Gerwig, those themes might make it to the movie. But I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't either since hindi papayag Mattel na ilicense movie nila just to have their company criticized.
I don't mind spoilers. Kapag napanood mo na, please lemmy know if I'll be disappointed or not.
Here's Phil Dy's review of Barbie on Letterboxd.

Thanks. I expected that naman, given it's Gerwig. At expected ko din na may commentary sa capitalism, given the characters in suits.
I just want more ๐
