*Slavoj Žižek voice*

actually it is perfectly thematic *sniff* because the Barbie trailer is a commentary on the superficiality of pop culture *sniff* you watch the Barbie monolith and enjoy the spectacle *sniff* not realizing the entire time that the scene being referenced is about civilization achieving greater instruments of destruction *sniff* and what is Barbie if not an instrument of destruction of independent ways of thinking?
