Part 2 lets go

I hate the warning of “you will hate wanda more” why do you wish me pain 😭

How wanda is justifying this within her own mind is so idk the word maybe intriguing? I like how you’ve written this insight into her head.

Ew vision don’t ask about R or they might bash your head in (too soon?)

“Her lover’s apartment” - that made me feel sick

She buys a new set of lingerie—for you. - even i wanda’s biggest defender doesn’t believe this and that sucks youre killing me i knew reading this would only be heartbreaking

Hes fucking recording her. I want to kill him.

Is it petty the fact wanda is enjoying the sex makes me even more mad i hoped he was bad in bed im so petty i have to ask is reader at least better 💀

HE DREW HER FFS oh I thought she was gonna end it not give in OH HE IN HER NO PROTECTION FUCKING DICK HES TRYING TO BABY TRAP HER BASO OH THIS GUY I WANT TO KILL HIM did she take the morning after pill??? Oh thank god shes not pregnant although I would’ve loved to see what she would’ve done then

Missed feeling this way with you - EXCUSE ME IS SHE SAYING HES BETTER ISTG i like how thats what im getting mad at 😂 also i dont think i could ever let her touch me again knowing those hands have been touching another like ew god no

God i feel so sick reading this and i can’t believe im gonna say this but i hate wanda all through the series I didn’t hate her mad and disappointed but i never hated her and always wanted her endgame still but reading this i just can’t believe you’ve made me hate her (i both hate you for tjat and love you cos what a testament to your skills that is)

Im going to read part 3 but man i wish i could go back in time before i read this (in a good way) cos you have completely broken me (cos the writing is so good i hope I didn’t offend you by wording that terribly)

-🧃

i just found myself giggling at your reactions per scene. Lemme comment on some:

If the sex was bad, wanda wont keep with the affair. Lol, told you you'd hate her more in this

Nope, she simply mised being close to R, because she wasn't able to bring herself to be close to R, thanks to the guilt

Some things are really better left in the dark

Some ilgoss readers decided not to read in silent screams because they didn't want it to undo Wanda's redemption arc

But the truth is, Wanda's always carried this past with her, we just didnt know it before

It's been over a week since I saw it and I still can't stop thinking about the Barbie movie. It's like I'm still in shock. No one cares but I will write out my full thoughts here under the cut.

PROS

Like everyone says, I 100% agree on the set design of Barbie Land and the costumes. They did a fantastic job! I expect they will win some awards for those categories.

I like most of the soundtrack although there's probably about three artists on it I actually know. (I feel old.)

Ryan Gosling. To me, he had the best performance out of the whole cast. Ironically, in a movie literally called "Barbie", I found myself caring for Ken more. I think that is a testament to just how good of an actor Gosling is. They butchered Ken's character (just like they did Barbie's) and wrote a really half-ass script but Gosling STILL delivered.

Weird Barbie. I'm not much of a Kate McKinnon fan but I think she did really well. I love this concept of a "weird Barbie" because it's so true to life. Of course there would be a Barbie some little girl messed up! 😂

Speaking of "old", my favorite scene was the one with Barbie on the bench next to the elderly woman. I think this movie's message could have easily been about ageism more than tHe pAtRiaRcHy...

CONS

The biggest issue for me is what they did to Barbie and Ken's relationship. They are one of the most famous couples of all time, albeit a fictional one, but I just wanted them to be in love and kiss. 😭 I'm a hopeless romantic. I am tired of the idea that a Strong Female Character™ can't have a romantic relationship with a man because it makes her "weak" or "not as cool". One thing they could have done is say of course Barbie doesn't need Ken. But she chooses Ken because she loves him. She DOES love him. (IDC what Gerwig or Robbie says. They got it wrong.)

The plot(s) are all over the place! I can't remember but I don't even think the mother-daughter part of the story even got resolved or if it did it was done in like two seconds?! I don't remember, by then, I was getting bored and restless.

There was no point to Will Ferrell and the Mattel CEOs. After the chase scene, I completely forgot about them until they randomly reappeared at the end. I'm inclined to think they were only included to be a red herring for when they cut the trailers for the movie.

I didn't like how they named everyone else "Barbie" and "Ken" in Barbie Land (Aside from Alan and Midge). I get they are saying everyone can be a Barbie or a Ken no matter what you look like. But did they not know about all the characters in Barbie's world? Skipper, Courtney, Kelly (a.k.a. Chelsea), Stacie, Christie, Francie, etc? Just seems lazy IMO.

"The Message". Don't tell me "yOu jUsT diDn't GEt iT!!!" 😑 Oh, I got "the message", all right. IDK how anyone can watch this movie and not "get it" when they might as well beat you over the head with a goddamn sledgehammer. When I was a kid, I had a Life Size Barbie. Why don't you get one of those and write "FeMiNISm!!!" all over her body, take her by the heels, wind her up like a baseball bat and beat me to death for two hours?! In hindsight, it would have saved me time and money for sure.

If you liked this aspect of the movie, all the power to ya. You are allowed to like whatever you want to like. But everyone acting like this shit was so deep and profound... ??? I'm sorry, are you kidding me?! It's about as deep as a kiddie pool. I think there are rain puddles out there deeper than this.

They could have gone about the women's empowerment message in a much better way and a lot more subtle and a lot less hateful.

Which brings me to my next point about what I didn't like.

IDK what this movie was trying to be? It had some funny moments but most of the humour was corny and flat. I've been craving an unapologetically girlie, "chick-flick" movie for a long, long time now. The kind they used to make 15-20 years ago or so. Think "Legally Blonde", "Clueless" or "13 Going on 30". Or think even further back to the 80's with "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" or "Teen Witch". What better movie to make a return to that kind of genre than with a live action ✨BARBIE✨ movie? She is the epitome of girlie-ness and femininity. But I guess that's too "problematic" now or something.

Why did only Ken sing? Don't get me wrong, he did great, but does it seem weird to anyone else why he was the only one? It seems kind of random IMO. Why didn't Barbie sing a solo? I have no idea if Robbie can sing or not but still. Again, what is this movie trying to be? It could have worked as a musical but it wasn't.... but they threw in a Ken song and dance number out of left field?

And lastly,

Margot Robbie. I HATE to say this, really I do. Because I really like her as an actress. I had so much faith and hope in her with this role. I thought she was a MUCH better choice for Barbie than Amy Schumer ever was!

Robbie looks the part of Barbie to a T. She's beautiful. But as the movie went on, I felt like she wasn't giving Barbie anymore. At least not Barbie in the way I imagine the character. It feels like she was playing a completely different character. Barbie in this movie never really helps anyone but herself. Barbie is not supposed to be an emotional manipulator but here, she is.

It's not Robbie's fault because Gerwig didn't write her character correctly. Same thing with Ken. He's a himbo, for sure, but he's not supposed to be some pathetic simp. I feel like both Robbie and Gosling were kind of wasted. They are both so talented but their characters were not written right.

So, all and all, if I had to rate the movie I'd give it a 5/10. I feel like they got some things right, some things they could have done much better, and some things they just shouldn't have done at all.

This is all just my honest thoughts and opinions. If you enjoyed the movie, I certainly don't want to take that away from you. I'm a huge fan of Barbie and I left the theater incredibly disappointed by the final product and I was SO excited for this.

Then you are likely to like this. I’d say if you like say Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, if you liked the realness of Normal People, if you like mumblecore films like Frances Ha, Drinking Buddies, Celeste and Jesse Forever and Blue Jay then you’re likely to like this.

Bold of you to assume Joe antis watched any of them or even know of them. 🤷‍♀️.. But don't worry they will watch cwf and say he is boring.. Which in my opinion will be a testament to his acting🤷‍♀️.. You know what I'm a be a klossy and say hey atleast they hulu and all earned from these people.

It's funny because they can't use the criticism of boring and bland for Nick because that's his character.. Antis atleast be creative and have context while antiing😂

See, what’s interesting is Nick is actually a lot like Joe but like… worse lol. So 100% people who hate Joe can hate Nick and conflate them lmfao and project Nick’s additional issues and shit onto Joe the person.

Also fuck me I reaaaaally want “no one cares they’re dating” to die because I read a review that talked about how he’s her boyfriend and proceeded to call them Frances and Joe. They deadass didn’t bother to learn the character’s name. They loved it by the way but like I also take that with a major grain of salt because if you love Joe Alwyn Internet’s Favorite Boyfriend idk if you’re objective on this.

I for sure think the voice he does might be weird personally because reasonable people said it. I’ll see what I think about it but husky growling for four hours might be a bit annoying. Idk man like I’m excited for this show because I’m excited for this show. I’m also like… relatively objective idk. I didn’t like Dark Phoenix - the worst movie ever made - just because of Nic. I also am not gonna lie and say to you Nic rises above the material because he doesn’t. He’s fairly shit in this very fucking shit movie.

But that’s not the vibe I’m getting from CWF from anyone except people who I’d expect to hate it???
