    Looking at the “map” (which is weirdly drawn, but on par with everything Barbie), the “nine-dash line” (which is actually eight) is a reach. I think Vietnam overreacted, and don’t support any ban in the Philippines, and I’m not even a wumao.

      Wtf? Will the kids (probably the targeted audiences of this film) notice it? Even myself, di ko mapansin. Modern audiences are too woke when it comes to these minuscule movie details, like this one, tapos connect-to-dot agad sa reyalidad, like come on son!

      I’m speculating this frame, or “that map” will not affect the whole film’s plot.

        This is also my take as well. Same reason why I also didn’t like Jolo’s portrayal in Plane. It’s not so much that it’s fiction, a joke, and all that — but perception is reality.

        That said, hindi ko pa naman napanood yung movie and it’s unclear if those dashed lines are more like cartoony steps/directions. But if it’s true that those are indeed the nine-dash line, I can see why people would like it banned — although against ako sa censorship or banning and do not support it at all.
