@GriffinMind, if I may speak up in defense of the Barbie brand and movies, having grown up a Barbie girl in general. And for the purpose of this comment, this specific Barbie movie, I'm going to call "Barbie LA" or "BLA."
Barbie LA is NOT a true "Barbie Movie," nor has it seemingly represented what Barbie is supposed to be promoting. For one thing, Barbie movies are basically fun fantasy fairy tales that are basically 1.5hr commercials for a line of dolls. Boys were never pushed into a negative light, unless they were actually antagonists. In fact, strong male and female protagonists were presented as people who vanquished villains, both male and female. Barbie is obviously a girl toy, and it was made to show Barbie as a career girl who also enjoyed more feminine aspects of life, but BLA has taken all that and trashed it while keeping it pink. This isn't Barbie. Idk what it is, but Gerwig messed it up. It's more representative of movies within the last 5 years than Barbie movies as a whole, arguably since the 80s (counting Barbie and the Rockers/Sensations).
