  ...it's a Barbie movie

  Like...one of the dominating toy brands of the 90s...the fact it has "personal development and cultural introspection" is something most people aren't going to know except word or mouth or seeing it themselves.

  Both movies were tie-ins. But yes, the Barbie movie had more substance to it on closer inspection.

    “something most people aren’t going to know except word or mouth or seeimg it themselves” - or by watching thirty seconds of the trailer.

    Correct, both movies are tie-ins(which nobody has argued against), but not “just” tie-ins, which is the incorrect assertion addressed.

    And then you agree that the Barbie movie does have more substance.

    Long way to haul your agreement on every discussed point.

      I am i just realizing that the original OP had an extra line that I'm not actually arguing, so i'll just say fair enough.

  Evidence for what, that Barbie is a brand of products? shop.mattel.com/collections/barbie

  Or that it is very shallow? I like this take: youtu.be/RToUZJ0l7Pk?si=L_5KpIFNGR_BxS8W

    No, not evidence for questions that nobody asked you, evidence for your assertion about the movies Barbie(2023)and Super Mario Bros.(2023):

    “Both of them are just ad tie-ins for other products. Barbie is hardly “cultural introspection”.

    Do you have evidence that both of these movies are only ad tie-ins for their toy products and that Barbie does not imply or introduce cultural introspection?
