Stereotypical Barbie just off to the right! Completely missed this the first couple times I saw the movie, but it’s a huge clue that Gloria is the reason Barbie came over to the real world, not her daughter (before we find this out later in the movie)
I might need that last part fleshed out (not just literally) a bit more. Because I imagined having the whole movie set in Barbieland would have worked better.
What are you imagining?
I agree with a lot of your points, while also saying simplistic messages are the last thing that that demographic needs. That generation is already known for bold-but-insubstantial pontificating, and I think we have a moral responsibility not to keep feeding them intellectual junk food.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. They do strike me as well-thought-out and insightful.
It sent messages, but the messages were usually so simplistic they had zero application for the characters or the viewers. Ken even said he had (off-screen) realizations that he'd misunderstood the patriarchy.
A lot of potentially interesting story threads were dropped—or resolved off-screen. I'm a bit dumbfounded the movie has as much acclaim as it does.
Damn. There's a subreddit for everything.
I know, I know, I'm one to talk. I made r/nippleshadow 😅 (NSFW) and r/EpisodeFindingFooting
It's like getting caught with drug paraphernalia. "It's not mine!"

Dunno why this is being downvoted. I saw the movie in a full theater, and it was dead-quiet for most of the run time.
I heard some people found it funny, but that just wasn't my experience.
