Smart of them to pre-empt that

Gonna be interesting to see who doesn't listen.

Couldn’t you dress as Barbie the doll? Or Barbie the animated character? Or Barbie the book character? Barbie the video game character? There are so many versions of Barbie.

Same with Wednesday. Or any comic characters

Never Been Kissed is proof of all the Barbie costume potential!

I understand but i think its stupid.

[peasantings]

My thoughts exactly.

Same, ish. I get something like Wednesday because that will have another season, but if the strike is about not promoting upcoming things....Barbie is already here. The reasoning is sound, and they do what they gotta, I guess.

[serenachan]

it's not just about upcoming things, if you promote barbie, people may be inclined to check it out on VOD, and that makes money for the studios.
