Remember when theBarbiemovie made that joke aboutJustice League? Turns out,Zack Snyderactually liked it.
“I thought [Barbie] was great,” Snyder toldMen’s Health.“And I think the joke is pretty good.” The filmmaker went on to say that it’s “a hundred percent” more of a joke about the fandom.
At one point in the film, the Barbieland is overthrown by the Kens and the Barbies are put in a trance that suddenly makes them subservient to the Kens. After Writer Barbie (Alexandra Shipp) wakes up, she describes it thus: “It’s like I’ve been in a dream where I was really invested in the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League.”
“The thing that I said to Debbie is – the thing that you need to take a second and think about is that your name is so seamlessly sewed together with a pop culture phenomenon so big it can exist as a joke in a movie about Barbie,” said Snyder. “That’s pretty insane. You just need to step back for a second and go like, ‘Whoa, what did we do? What happened? How is that a thing?'”
