John Cena and Margot Robbie’s movie “Barbie” has turned out to be a blockbuster Hollywood release across the world, but Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro doesn’t seem to be too happy about the movie. Ben recently criticized the movie and got heavily trolled for his criticism.
All this started when Ben Shapiro shared a picture on his Twitter handle standing close to a “Barbie” poster, in which he is dressed like Ken from the movie. He wrote, “My producers dragged me to see ‘Barbie,’ and it was one of the most woke movies I have ever seen. My full review of this flaming garbage heap of a film will be out on my YouTube channel tomorrow at 10am ET.“
Ben Shapiro’s Barbie criticism has led to massive backlash as fans of the first-ever live-action Barbie film took matters into their own hands. Shapiro is getting trolled all over the internet, and you can check out some of the best fan replies to his “Barbie” trolling here:
A Twitter user wrote, “My brother in Christ. You are wearing a Ken cosplay.” “He’s lowkey a fan but doesn’t wanna admit it,” another user said. A Barbie fan wrote, “I think he secretly loved it but can’t tell anyone.” “Barbie is everything, ken is kenough, he’s nobody,” a fan commented. (Via: Twitter)
As informed by Shapiro in his tweet, he released a 43-minute long video on his YouTube channel on July 22. The video was dedicated entirely to “Barbie,” and Shapiro titled it “Ben Shapiro Destroys The Barbie Movie For 43 Minutes.” Ben started the video with him setting the dolls on fire and then throwing them in the trash. This enhanced Shapiro’s trolling to an even greater extent.
Ben Shapiro has been criticizing Barbie since 2019
Ben Shapiro criticizing John Cena and Margot Robbie‘s movie “Barbie” isn’t really the first time he’s criticizing Barbie. The Conservative commentator has been criticizing Barbie since 2019, and his criticism of the recent movie is just an addition to his previous list.
The incident in 2019 was controversial, as Shapiro publicly criticized Barbie’s representation, which caused a massive buzz in the digital media. His comments included describing the iconic “Barbie” doll as a “smug” and “divisive” role model. His controversial remarks initiated a lot of debate about the doll’s societal values. (Via: CooPWB)
Ben Shapiro’s recent comments on the “Barbie” movie have also received backlash from the fans and resulted in Ben getting trolled. Whatever Ben’s views might be about the movie, it can’t be denied that the movie has taken the box office by storm since its July 21 release.
Barbie’s $300 million worldwide collection in the opening weekend is a testimonial to the claims of how successful the movie has been among the audience. The movie is nearing a worldwide earning of $580 million in the first week of its release. Looking at the way the movie is performing, it seems it will soon become the biggest box-office release of 2023.
