It's not eugenics, it's evolution. Eugenics is intentional, the intelligent population in the movie dies off due to unplanned, natural ecological factors. Also, it's a comedy, just chill out.
Intelligence is not a genetic trait. The claim that it is one is a myth used to perpetuate eugenics. It comes from the archaic claim that "black people are inherently less intelligent than white people" because "white people are genetically superior".
It has nothing to do with evolution.
Also, the flimsy excuse "it's just a joke" is simply that: an excuse.
Genetics absolutely plays a role, there's a clear distinction between accepting reality and then turning around and using that to justify murder or racism.
Wait, where the hell did you get this idea? Racially? No, intelligence spans significantly from individual to individual regardless of race, but on that individual level, genetics have a significant impact on intelligence.
Not only that, but the movie makes no commentary on race whatsoever, throwing that in is solely your own addition.
