me when I first heard of Barbie: that sounds like a 2 hour commercial for Barbie
me when I saw the online reaction to the movie: hmm it might be worth watching
me after I watched Barbie: that was a 2 hour commercial for Barbie.
#I'm sorry I really did not like it.....
#even when I try to analyze the movie's mechanics (rather than its social commentary) it's still not a good movie to me....
#it really did just feel like a literal commercial -- a lot of flashy music costumes and pitches but no actual substance....sorry
#so much of the characterization/suspense/setting would be thrown at you with a zingy one-liner and no further attempt to establish it....uh
#like Mattel trying to capture Barbie and return her to Barbieland had 0 explanation for how they knew she was there...why it was important
#to send her back...what would happen if they didn't send her back...and Mattel was not funny enough (to me) to ignore the lack of stakes lo
#so that subplot did not emotionally engage me.....same with the Kens...their takeover was like....um. ok? what's actually at stake?
#their world seemed to not have any disease so the status of 'doctor' didn't mean anything -- so why does it matter if Kens have that status
#and they had no wars or crimes so who cares if Kens are president or judges...like....these are just titles!!! there's no value behind it!!
#the most emotionally engaging part of that arc is Barbie losing her house
#and I think they should have dug into that part more
#but that scene is just zingy one liner after zingy one liner....god
#marvel's obsession with zingy one liners has destroyed the brightest minds of our generation I fear
#anyway....this is all before I even get into the social commentary....but I'll stop now lol
