Barbie - A More Successful Movie than You'd Think

How many are still around that's still relevant? I only know of My Little Pony, but that was already ruined by Bronies, so that doesn't count.
Now that I think of it, many of the girl IPs I know (not that there are many) I could think of were already fucked over by shit adaptations.
I only remember that forgettable Jem movie, the rest were tv shows rebooted into shitty Netflix shows like winx and monster high. I don't think they'll make a Bratz movie will they?🤔

I weren't really interested in the movie, just that I hear people wanting to watch it. Anyway, the movie not having Barbie Girl by Aqua is lunacy. Reason given by some articles I read about it, was that Barbie was portrayed as too much of a bimbo, needing to be modernised. And people going all like "The real meaning of Barbie Girl is about sex". Hold on, it's about a doll and little girls do that to their dolls what's described in the lyrics on a daily basis.

Anyway, I would say the Nicki Minaj one is much more inappropriate. With aheagao-faces (tounges sticking out in a seductive way), dressed in a sexually manner.


And yes, Ken is strawberry blonde NOT platinum blonde.

they already did back when the toy-movie craze began

P.S addendum since I can't edit anymore: Another good message for the movie that's a little more universal could just be "It's okay to experiment when you don't know what to do" or something like that. Feels like everyone I know is of the mindset "you decide what you want to do and then you do that for 40 years with some side gigs and hobbies if you want", and I'm not sure how universal that is, but I know there's a lot of people who feel pressured to do things like go to university or specialize in STEM because their parents told them to or because it's "the right thing to do" instead of because they like the concept or would be willing to buckle down and learn about it.
With how many professions Barbie has, her constant shifting of jobs could be built into the plot and framed as learning experiences as opposed to Goldilocks-style "there's no way this can work for me and I refuse to learn from that" situations. That could maybe get preachy, but it could send a good message. Not sure.

Point is- there's so many ways you could make a Barbie movie without focusing on fucking feminism for the 40th time that year. Loads of ways you could send actually good messages to elevate the equivalent of a 100-minute commercial- or at least make said commercial adequate.
The writers for this movie aren't even trying, not in the slightest. They're just splooging their beliefs all over the script and probably tardraging when people express exhaustion with the idea.

I can not wait to see the "Ken Cut" of this money when it goes digital:

Ken living in a matriarchal society visits another world where men like him have positions of power and takes back the lessons he learned to conquer Barbieland and insert himself as the ruler, freeing all Kens from Barbie servitude.

He'll be like Moses, parting the Glitter Sea to free his fellow Kens from the tyrrany of Tutankbarbum.

If there was a universe, where men just got to play tennis, hang out by the pool, and be used for little more than sex by our 10/10 blonde gfs, we would have already invented interdimensional time travel to find it and live there.
 
Jeremy Jahns confirmed it as a "smash the patriarchy" film.

Noooooooooo, fuuuuck. "Good luck review that," first of all if it did happen that guy gets a golden banana sticker. I was hoping for an overwhelming dump of creativity. If it is just another preachy preach film with no substance, well, let's just say I traded a ticket for another Oppenheimer viewing. I wanted my fantasy version of cocaine bear (insanity), but in barbie form. Heck, if Barbie was directed by Wes Anderson I wouldn't care about the script or writing or even the message.

Expecting fun and creativity? In Current Year+8? Perish the thought. What's more imporant is to make you dirty MEN feel like the scummiest piece of dogshit ever crapped onto a pristine lawn for the rest of your life because you were so miserable as to be born with a penis.
 
Okay, maybe I’m perpetually confused, but have gotten to the point that both Oppenheimer and Barbie are both bad, but Oppenheimer just sucks less?

I was wondering where all this criticism for Oppenheimer came from.
Yeah, I was wondering too, cuz I was going to see it in IMAX this weekend. Is it too preachy about the NOOK BAD sentiment?

Summary:
>Biopic (think Bohemian Rhapsody)
>Nuclear Bomb le bad


Just watch Dead Reckoning or Sound of Freedom. Trust me, an hour or two would be spared.
 
The troon ( Hari Nef is Dr Barbie ) segments ought to at least make decent meme /joke fodder
 
Margot Robbie is the epitome of vapid Hollywood hypocritical virtue signalling. She squeals feminism with every breath but her entire career is built on the evil male gaze. Whenever she isn't in a "look at me, aren't I pretty" role (e.g. I Tonya, Mary Queen of Scots and arguably Harley Quinn) she fails and fails miserably.
Her entire motivation just seems to fall on distancing herself from Wolf of Wall Street. I believe she spoke about it for Harley Quinn that she didn't want to be the expensive sex toy anymore. She has her own movie studio with her husband that she used to try to escape the roles, but none of her art films ever made money, including Birds of Prey, which she produced on her own.

I can somewhat empathize with her as she is definitely stuck in a role she has wanted to leave for years and has actively pursued means of doing so. The sad part for her is that, thanks to her flops, Barbie could be the make-or-break for her career, so who knows if she will be around much longer.
 
Wonder how bad the box office drop off will be after the first weekend, when word of mouth about what the movie's really like starts to spread.
It's going to be fun to watch (unlike the movie). Am not sure that the target demographic sees anything other than traditional media / RT but the pure word of mouth between individuals could be devastating. Aside of the wine box blue hairs whose future consists of dying in solitude and being eaten by their cats; even the female audience is likely to recoil at this level of anti male malice, the superficiality and the motherhood bashing.

Could be a Force Awakens / Last Jedi situation where the initial revenue disguises how repulsed people are and the most significant effects are shown in tanking the franchise. And the merch which in the case of Barbie must have Mattel shitting their pink corporate panties.

She’s the millennial Sharon Stone: a vapid whore who doesn’t want to be known as a vapid whore but doesn’t have the talent to be known as anything other than a vapid whore.
