The more I think about it, the more the 5 minute car commercial in Barbie bugs me. (feddit.de)

It's like in a music video when the artist suddenly pulls out the new Samsung explosive device, and your heart sinks a little.

Not only is it necessary for even decent movies to be packaged within some IP, they also seem to rely on selling ad space within the movie itself.

Very bleak.

You went to a movie that's an advertisement for a plastic doll accessory universe and... you're upset it has product placements? 🤔

Yes?

Edit: Even if you want to be reductive and consider the entire movie as just a big brand advertisment, this doesn't make sense. Does Burger King subsidize their commercials by running Samsung Ads within them?

Edit2: This is probably a bad retort, see my other comments for clarification.
