Comment on The more I think about it, the more the 5 minute car commercial in Barbie bugs me.

This critique irks me for some reason. Consider this: Imagine the latest Top Gun had some scene where Tom Cruise literally high fives Uncle Sam, then slowly whispers “Freedom” and winks into the camera. You’d rightfully find this jarring, a poor aesthetic choice, weird.

But then someone online tells you why you’d expect anything else from a franchise that’s heavily subsidized and supported by the military industrial complex, and demanding a sort of artistic consistency from such a franchise is pointless to begin with.

Tldr: I think you can critique the art even if you’re aware of it’s ideological confines.

(This reply hinges on such a scene not being in the latest Top Gun movie, which I haven’t see yet to be honest)
