Why are feminists mad that we care about Ken vs Barbie who actually was just Becky from the burbs?
Also how the Barbie movie handle gender dynamics…I would rather eat cake from Marie Antoinette than see another Hollywood feminist movie ever again.
They're mad because the movie was allegedly about the struggles women face, about how they need feminism yadda yadda, but the execution of the film told a different story than what the producer and writers wanted.
The Barbie movie started by showing the feminist utopia, a world where men were playthings to be used for a night, and discarded by morning, where men held no positions of power, and owned no property except the clothes on their backs.
The Kens were fine with this, after all, they were made to be with Barbies, and they only knew the Barbie world, where Barbie could be anything, but Ken could only be Ken.
They then went to the real world, witnessed reality, Ken saw how much more the Kens could be, Barbie was sold the bog standard Feminist message.
Ken takes his realization back to Barbie world and informs the Kens, and so, the Kens take over, they do all the work, love the Barbies, and everyone is actually happy.
And it wasn't some dictatorship like the Barbies had, both Kens and Barbies could hold positions of power, they even planned to have elections.
Barbie comes back and has a meltdown, how could her Feminist utopia be ruined? So, she hatches a plan, she takes the Barbies, one by one, and has Feminist struggle sessions with them.
They plan to rig the elections, force the Kens to fight eachother so only the Barbies can vote, and it happens, the Kens are once again stripped of their dignity and rights, everything goes back to normal in Barbie world.
Ken decides he's had enough of this and leaves, clearly he'll never be enough for Barbie, and Barbie leaves too, she realized she was wrong, she never wanted power, and the film ends with Barbie trying to get pregnant and start a family.
The film isn't a pro feminist one, it mocks feminism and the feminist creators don't even understand how.
It should be to no one's surprise that Ken's song won the Oscar, while the film did not, and no, the film doesn't deserve an Oscar simply because the premise of the film was that women should just win.
Lovely
Scooby Doo idea: Daphne Blake as the weird rich kid whose parents signed her up for a shit-ton of rich-kid extracurriculars like polo, fencing, and all of this other shit so they wouldn’t have to deal with her/bolster her college resume. She puts a lot of effort into actually being good at all these extra-curriculars bc she’s competing with all of her ~super successful and talented~ sisters for attention and ends up athletic as hell and socially stunted and like…really aggressive and competitive and never quite satisfied with anything she’s doing. The only other ‘High Society’ kid who can put up with her is Norville “Shaggy” Rogers —an anxious stoner with freaky strict parents whose only friend prior to Daphne was his equally anxious rescue dog—Daphne’s been beating up Shaggy’s bullies for years. Then there’s student council dweeb Fred Jones who’s always been groomed to be this ‘leader’ by his parents and is always pressured to go to these youth leadership things and stuff and yeah he’s pretty good at directing group projects, but really Fred’s kind of shy and more interested in engineering, forensics and maybe criminal justice and he’s been friends with this chick Velma Dinkley in engineering club who’s brilliant but she’s also tactless, awkward and very bitterly sarcastic to cover up for the fact that her book smarts far outweigh her social skills.
So then there’s this mystery downtown and all five of them show up and there’s a mutual, “Oh hey it’s you: The weird kid from my school. What are you doing here?” and everyone goes around. Fred’s like, “Oh I knew the owners of this place and they said they might have to close down because of this ghost and I told Velma about it and Velma thinks we can get to the bottom of this.” And Shaggy’s like, “Scoob and I didn’t want to be home right now and we honestly didn’t know about the ghost but hey Daphne’s here so we feel safe enough to hang out and maybe Scoob can sniff out some clues or something.” And then everyone turns and looks at Daphne and Daphne’s just like, “I want to fight a fucking ghost.”
