  • Saw it yesterday and I really liked it. I think some people are kind of exaggerating how groundbreaking and subversive the feminism in it is, while it strikes me as fairly standard liberal feminism, but I think it was executed about as well as it could have been and I only cringed one or two times. Besides that it was consistently funny, occasionally moving, the plot was compelling enough, and it was all round a fun time. Also bonus points for having a Charli XCX song over a car chase.

    I guess probably my biggest gripe would just be that the capitalism aspect of things was approached in a really shallow manner (maybe or maybe not Mattel’s influence going on there idk), such that tbh I almost would have preferred it not touched at all, but this didn’t hugely affect my enjoyment of the movie either because I wasn’t expecting it to really go deep into that.

    The reason as to why here relative to elsewhere is probably because people here tend to be more into free software and privacy and things like that, and caring about those things tends to have an anti-corporate aspect, because of the way corporations tend to act, and aligns pretty well with wider anticapitalist beliefs

    Also the devs and pre-Reddit influx population are anticapitalist so that kind of helps influence the trajectory a bit
