But sometimes I'm just like I don't really subscribe personally to the objective ivory tower vision of these things.

I'm like I want to get on a Masters of the Universe pod and be like I almost cried when Adam raised the sword.

Like that's not criticism.

That's like I'm expressing an emotional feeling.

And a lot of the movies that you just went through, they conjure the same feelings in me even though I know that from this kind of –

distanced critical lens, they're not only flawed, but they're like cynical and kind of ugly at times.

Yeah, and they both did the thing that we were talking about that Masters of the Universe does too, where they...

They are openly acknowledging what the act of adapting them means.

And that's extremely unusual.

And it's very, very millennial to do that.

It is.

And this has been a millennial conversation about our kind of fascination and struggles with the things that we care about.

And, you know, when Greta was on the show for Barbie, I said this to her.

I was like, this is so interesting that you keep making things that are about things that happened to you when you were 12.

Yeah.

And all of your movies are that.

And this new movie, it sounds like, is also going to be that.

you know, she seemed to receive it nicely, but she was like, I hadn't thought about it that way.

But then was like, I have to give that some thought.

And I think that a lot of the ways that you were describing the way that the box office is changing and like what our expectations are for movies and whether... Like where you would feel a bit stymied by something like Solo in 2018 where you'd be like, ah, this is so disappointing that this is where these things have gotten.
