listen the movie introduces an annoying leftie teenager as a ridiculous strawman for the audience to resent, has her make all the valid criticisms of the franchise mattel can still slightly defend, and then makes barbie cry about it. why do you think it did that. why do you think that character existed. why do you think she quietly faded into a compliant, brand-supportive happy face in a pink dress

#barbie spoilers #barbie #i don’t hate the movie or think it’s garbage or people who like it are dumb etc etc etc #i think fun lighthearted feminist media is important and it can’t all be the handmaid’s tale #but still. i want to voice at least some of my criticisms #if only to make other people who felt very unsatisfied by the film’s messaging feel less isolated #barbie critical
