Viewers are divided over whether the film should have shown Japanese victims of the weapon created by physicist Robert Oppenheimer. Experts say it’s complicated.

    His realisation of the distance he has from his victims

    Yes… And the effect his weapon had on them isn’t relevant?

    He is literally known for saying “now I am become death destroyer of worlds” and you don’t think showing that death is germane to the plot?

    I’m not saying it should have been in the movie but it’s not “whataboutism” to say that it could have been. Unless you don’t know what whataboutism is.

        You don’t think the victims of the weapon he created are relevant to a story about his life??? I can’t even. Either way saying it is is not whataboutism which is my point anyway.
