Movie
Diversity and the Critic
One of the weirder problems with being a critic is the wokeness problem. The essential problem is that encouraging diversity is good, but there are times when diversity gets pushed to the point where it actually becomes a parody of itself, and there are even times when it distracts from the film itself. Worse are those times when the need to diversify character types creates some weird situations due to the change in race or sex of the characters. This makes life interesting for the critic because calling it out can call down a lot of fire on the critic, creating its own issues. There needs to be some way to navigate the problem.

"It Was of Its Time" Needs to Become a Red Flag
One of the weirder parts about being a critic is the issue of what to do about older media. The problem is that society has progressed; the casual racism, sexism, and homophobia of the past are just not as acceptable as they once were; let's just say that a lot of comics and movies from the WWII era have not aged well. Making it weirder, you even have movies or books that were behind the times even when they were published, such as "Birth of a Nation" or a lot of 1950s movies. Adding to the fun is that some movies or books even poke fun at some of those old-fashioned mores; giving them a proper critique can be difficult in and of itself.

Barbie (2023)
Okay, I’ll admit it—I was not expecting to love the Barbie movie as much as I did. I mean, it’s Barbie, right? The doll we all know from childhood. But after seeing it, I can honestly say that Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023) is one of the most unexpected cinematic joys I’ve experienced in a long time. It’s funny, thought-provoking, and so much more than just a colorful romp through a plastic world. It's like the movie took everything you thought you knew about Barbie and turned it on its head—in the best way possible.
