Ikr when we really want more Ryan gosling and Margot robbie! How is that not obvious to them???
That said my favorite thing about it is they finally managed to nail that elusive women market and don't even understand why. Wonder woman, reboot Ghostbusters, so many half assed money grab attempts thinking feminism is just lame rah rah girl power. Yet it's the barbie movie that nails it and captures all audience's. And the answer is more toy movies haha.
Sorry, but Barbie and feminism in the same sentence is painful to hear. Feminism is about changing society to make it more equal, not barbie… Barbie is about selling the most conservative toy ever (together with j.i.joe)
That's why everyone is going to the toy movies. Because the political message of barbie is as fake as barbie, but it helps selling toys
What matters is the message the movie has to say and it had a true feminist message about equality.
Also The cast had barbies and Kens of all ethnicities and sizes.
And the movie was a really important moment for a lot of women and girls. I think it's super closed minded to the point you're the one missing out if you won't give it a chance just because it is based around a toy with a problematic history.
My favorite is that their seeming takeaway from the success of Barbie is to go heads deep into TOY MOVIES.

You haven't seen the movie, have you?
You know Barbie existed before 2023 right? For like… A long time?
You realize the movie isn't just showing off the toy, right?
Unless the movie can erase 75 years of unrealistic beauty standards, does it matter how nice the movie made you feel?

How will I ever recover. Sorry I can't be bought with pro corporation propaganda disguised as feel good movies.
Stop consumer culture.
