    That’s the point. The release at the same time. The dark, challenging Oppenheimer movie about a serious topic and the Barbie movie. Barbie as a brand is perceived as simple and childish. And while the movie looks to be more, people got already a kick out of it when it was announced to run on the same day. So the joke is the contrast between these entirely opposite views on these two names.

    Also Barbie being Barbie, she probably was a nuclear theoretical physicist at some point.
