It's not the first time Google has used this feature for films or shows as a there was a Cordyceps animation for The Last of Us and a Grogu appeared for The Mandalorian. There was plenty of reaction and feedback after this feature went viral on Twitter. Meanwhile, others couldn't resist making some "Barbenheimer" based humour, where they joked about this feature being used for the Oppenheimer film when looking up actor Cillian Murphy and director Christopher Nolan. The story is about American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Murphy) and his role in the development of the atomic bomb. Needless to say, the memes were explosive.
