@@Honeydoyou When I found out he was gonna reunite with Emma, I had to see La La Land just for them. I did expect more overall in terms of overall quality. But the music and artistic quality makes it worthy of those Golden Statues.
I keep coming back to the most emotional and crucial part of this movie: When Barbie tells Ken that maybe his identity isn't what kind of house he has or what girl he's dating, that he is just himself and there's nothing wrong with him. To see that Ken was overjoyed by taking a moment to love himself was really empowering.
It's pretty much resonating with Fight Club philosophy, presented in 1999 film and Chuck Palahniuk book of the same title. You're not your job, you're not the money you have in the bank, you're not the car you drive...
Barbie movie: *Makes a character into an idiotic loser throughout the movie who finally begins to assert himself only to be willingly pushed right back into his role as an idiotic loser. Then has the main character tell him that he's just fine as his idiotic loser self, he shouldn't want to find ways to make himself happier he should just be his sad lame loser self and be happy with it.* People on the internet: "oMg ThIs MoViE iSn'T aNtI mAn HoW cOuLd YoU eVeR tHiNk ThAt!?"
I’ve been listening to this non stop and it’s peak song writing. Please give this the best original song award. Ryan winning the Oscar would be hilarious
Ryan really was the best part of this movie. He really blew me away with his portrayal of Ken. I didn't expect what he brought to the role of a child's doll but here we are
Kens uniting in solidarity for their brother. It's the first time they complete the melody and they start off slightly before him. Literal back-up singers lol
I saw this last night. It was the worst movie that I've ever spent money on. Just weird. Another movie coming after the so-called patriarchy turning can into a violent domestic abuser. They literally turned him into a misogynistic angry man. I'm so tired of the left in this narrative. It's either that they try to make every movie sexualized or throw subliminal messages in their basically anything they can do to paint the white man to look like dogshit it's truly amazing
The best part of this song is that it starts out as a technical “friend zone anthem”. Because throughout the entire movie, he is just Ken. He places his value entirely upon Barbie’s affection. And he sees himself as a hardcore fuckup because she doesn’t reciprocate. But as the song goes on, the idea of him being “Just Ken” is refined into “I am enough”. He realizes that Barbie’s affection isn’t the only aspect of his sense of self. It starts out as Ken beating himself up for failing to have Barbie’s affection. But then realizing that whether or not she’s interested in him, that doesn’t matter. He’s still Ken. And that’s enough. And he’s still great at doing stuff. Barbie, while feminist (and greatly argued I might add), is deeply humanist. It delves into the complexities of human existence, for everyone.
I'm starting to believe that the movie actually had two idealy opposite directors that only agreed on having Barbie as the heroine for marketing purposes
@@1erickf50 is it still impossible???? I’m sure her husband wasn’t the only one coming up with the man’s side 😑 Quite a lot of feminists also fight against misandry you know
if he will be just a ken and not matter hiw fast he runs it wil be akways barbie to get quicker then it would be the right movie , otherwise not , many females we dont want traditional , girly barbie , so sick of it
This song is so good it's inspiring for everyone not just one specific gender or person it's so relatable love this ❤ every single line is great and when he says "but it's Barby and ken there is no just ken" it hits hard it's not just about mane and women gf and bf but so much more it's whatever you feel or whatever you want to be it's so so good 😭❤️
No, the message is centered exactly at men. And it's very simple. Don't ruin your life over a woman, better yourself, learn, move on and continue searching for her or enjoy life if you want. You are Kenough, don't let others define you.

‘Doesn’t seem to matter what I do. I’m always number two.’ Many people have absolutely no idea just how hard this hits in the feels and that it could mean so many things: -Being the eldest son, you receive the least love and attention even if you are the most behaved and try to be the one most respectful to your parents. -Being an employee, even though you are hard working, committed, very seldom calling in sick or being late and constantly putting in extra hours with no incentives but no one recognizes your hard work and dedication. -Being an average-joe male member in society looking for love and no woman ever showing interest to you or giving you any chance. I haven’t seen the movie and I’m skeptical to go see it but this song and this movie are starting to look good.
Are average Joes interested in average Jills? I was under the impression based on statistics of male p*rn use that most average Joes were more interested in w*nking themselves to videos on the internet of extremely beautiful, barely-legal, mentally-troubled, often-trafficked pr*stitutes being s*xually degraded. In which case they have no one to blame but themselves for their loneliness and can hardly lament that women don’t pay them attention when they take every action to make themselves as repulsive in actions and values to women as possible.
Definitely see it. It highlights gender conformity subversively and satirically, and it does it so well. The added icing on the cake was that the humor was actually funny. I haven't seen a good comedy in forever.
@RobbyRockaholic I honestly do think there's a good chance Margot Robbie will at least get a nomination. Ryan Gosling is not a bad bet either. I think this is going to be a good one. I am a straight man in my 30s and I can't wait for this. This movie looks buck wild
This movie loves men. It gives them the space to be vulnerable, to question their choices, to create a version of themselves that is who *they* want to be and not who they think girls might like. It’s really wholesome. It tells men, “no matter what others say, you are enough if you’re trying your best.” I love that. It unshackles men from the burden of conformity. Anything that gives a person choices is positive.
Actually, it tells men you dont need a useless woke woman that doesnt see you as a man. He was a simp, unmasculine, coward. Then, he became a man, a real one, that commands and is a leader, yet the idiotic barbie didnt value him. Ken is much more than an accessory of an incompetent feminist
Honestly, his story could be very compelling if done well. From this song, it seems like he is in love with Barbie but he also wants to be his own person, to shine without being in her shadow. I love it
@@pedrito6225 think because it is not because it’s from trying to portray women empowerment. It really roots from how girls really played barbie and portrayed barbie as the main one and everything around is like an accessory just as Ken when dollhouses comes with a pair of a partner. I played barbie & ken doll, I was a kid, idk what’s really a relationship is. So Ken was like a bf side character on my dollhouse roleplay with my friends.
The idea to make Ken feel like he's in Barbie's shadow is 100% perfect. He hasn't even had his own Dreamhouse sold in stores yet... Younger me is still waiting 😭
Why am I so obsessed with this song? Its goofy and funny and still hits deep at the same time. I especially like when Ryan goes "and I'm great at doing stuff"...cracks me up every time😂😂
Unironically the best part of the movie. Also, the part when Barbie told Ken he needs to learn who he is without her is a great food for thought for real-life relationships.
Thats true an is a good message. On the other hand if you think carefully it's really HARD for someone whose life was around a woman to begin a new track without her.
Ryan Gosling wasn't joking around when he said Ken was a role he was born to play. Not only he was so hilarious with his comedic timing, his singing sequence is great. I don't think it's a stretch to nominate him in Oscars for best supporting actor.
I don't care if he's nominated for Best Supporting Actor. I just want him to perform this masterpiece at the Oscars so that the Oscars can truly feel the Kenergy
I cant help but think this is the polar opposite of the sound of freedom thats also out now - I think I will like them both but if ever there were opposite types of movies those 2 are it.
Ryan Gosling deserved that Oscar, I think people underestimate how difficult it is to play comedy roles such as this one. He will always be Kenough for us fans, legendary performance!
I heard somewhere that it's easy to play dramatic roles, but what is really complicated it is comedy. The way Ryan played Ken, it's a masterpiece. My favourite character of the movie.
Frfr. Ryan naturally has the flair for comedy and insane comedic timing (watch his interviews and skit). I've never doubted the choice in casting since it was announced.
It's the same thing in writing. Writing something that's sad? Bro, you just write something that's relatable and painful. Writing a story in which a young child's mother falls down the stairs and you spend the entire time dealing with how little Timmy copes with it? That's sad. I don't even need to address any specific qualities of writing here! Like, whether something is dramatic or sad is honestly 90% about *content* - but you can't get to comedy through content. It's everything else that makes it comedy.
People who haven't seen the movie won't understand, but he honestly deserves an Oscar for this performance. I was not expecting him to be so hilarious yet poignant. He was just perfect in every way in this role
This movie will definitely win an award for something at the oscars. The Ken war scene, dancing with Simu Ken at the peak part of the movie was SO good. I might just go watch it the second time.
@@marshallleonard6673 timothee chalamet is an incredible actor, you should see his roles in "call me by your name" or his old work like "the prodigal son" he isn't just eye candy, he's a true actor.
"I'm Just Ken" is a masterpiece of a song exploring the multiple layers of existence, the purpose in life , craving for recognition and affection, romantic dilemma, unrequited love juxtaposed with self-sufficiency and brotherhood , male romantism and persistence...not to mention unwilling codependency and psychological alienation from an uncooperative , exploitative and inconsiderate milieu and a sense of belonging to the other side of the river where the grass is fancifully greener P.S. - "He's literally me"
I can't deny that Ryan Gosling is easily my favorite part of the film. His performance as Ken really stole the show with every scene. Ryan's great comedic timing, charm and vulnerability just made everything better. Plus i loved the big musical number for how goofy and over the top it was.
I love that Ryan is getting incredible buzz for this performance because people, myself included, thought he was miscast. Now I can’t imagine anyone else in the role.
@@choojooo8531 it supports that NEITHER needs each other. And before you try to say women need men, they literally don't. That's the thing. People should be individuals first and love themselves before they can actually love another.
Just imagine Ryan singing this in all pink at the Oscar’s then right after Jack Black in his Bowser suit singing Peaches. The greatest one two punch ever! 😂 😂
I honestly don’t even think he was villain. Hear me out, ken was objectively treated bad in the relationship. He had no friends, and his “girlfriend” never gave him any attention. He was trapped. Than he comes into the real world and suddenly people see he him for a real person. In a weird sense, he’s just doing a non toxic version of feminism in a womens world. Some might say what about the patriarchy? I don’t think he really even knew what it was, he said “I thought patriarchy was just about horses, I lost interest after”. Although it seems funny, really consider that line. What do horses represent? Freedom. They represent being free and able to be yourself untrapped. I think he just wanted to be free. Poor guy
when women want to be seen and liberate themselves because they were the side-character they get cheers. when the roles are reversed the man in need gets laughed at.
TBH the real star of the movie. Dude is amazing in everything he is in. Who knew this movie would be a bro movie after all. Ken is becoming a male idol out of no where ha ha
It's a small detail, but I love how Ken is animated at around the 0:50 mark when he's thrown in the air because it looks exactly like what a child's doll would do if they were playing with it.
A few facts for anyone who doesn't get Ken's position in the new Barbie movie from a Barbie collector who got her first doll way back in 1962. From the day the doll was introduced, Ken has always existed simply as Barbie's side piece - nothing more, nothing less. Barbie is the star; Ken has always been there as a supporting player with no other real role. PERIOD. He's a background player, he has never really had any storylines in Barbie world, he's just THERE. The trailer portrays him pretty accurately. As the movie tagline goes, Barbie is "everything." And as the song says he's "just Ken." That said, this is THE power ballad of the YEAR!!!!
Honestly, I'm wondering what's up with Alan in this movie. He's the sidekick of Barbie's sidekick. The potential psychological damage of that is staggering.
@@user-xd3jl1hk7g Essentially, yes. That’s why the likes of Piers Norgan getting upset over Ken being “just Ken” is hilarious; it’s such on-the-nose satire and all these pissy men are getting genuinely offended by it.
@@user-xd3jl1hk7gyes. As a little girl, Ken was just there. Little girls just play with Barbie and her dresses and shoes. It was just fun. Just how little guys have their bayblades and transformers. And anyone with humour and a little bit of wit can know it's a satire after this Ken release.
Ken is 100% the tragic hero of this movie. Feminism is the villain. And the tragedy is how feminism wins in the end by exploiting Ken’s love for Barbie and using it against him…… I literally have tears in my eyes because it’s so ironically beautiful in an unintentional way.
I'm not sure how unintentional it is. Bear in mind that in order for Barbie to grow, she needs to get away from Barbieland. The movie is complex in its worldview.
Yes but instead of validating that men are important and valuable and should be appreciated they portray this as a bad moment and have to stop the kens from bringing in the patriarchy.
@@CommandoShepardthats what they did lmao... Patriarchy is portrayed as bad because it is and devalues females in a society... Its basically the opposite of what is in barbies world which is a complete female centered society... In the end they showed that both a female centered society and a male centered society is bad for both so they made it so that they have an equal ground that not every night has to be girl's night and its where ken would start building his own dream house for being kenough.
Well, it would all be fine if the ending was there being some sort of equality, but no, they had to bring gynocentrism back with all the Barbies im charge
@@justhair17dude, didn't you watch the movie? Neither the OG BarbieLand or Kendom is good. But in the end scene, they're on the right path with the Ken getting the respect and rights they deserved
@@15Candles if the strike is over by the Oscars, sure. if it's not, then he won't be able to perform it...and the Oscars would end up being pretty dull without any of the actors or writers there
You can really tell like *everyone* was having fun making this film. The writers, the set designers, the stylists, the actors, everyone thought the whole way through that this was going to be such a fun movie. Like I bet it wasn't even a question in a lot of people's minds. And they were absolutely right.
@@losanjealous310 exactly like idk why I just watched the movie and I found it really boring I'm my opinion and very stereotypical of the themes u mentioned. Like I found barbie life in the dream house episodes more interesting imo
"doesnt seem to matter what i do, im always number 2, no one knows how hard i try, i have feelings that i cant explain, driving me insane all my live been so polite" most relatable moment in barbie movie
I was cackling when he said blonde fragility 😂 we went with my friends and their younger siblings and the shock on her face when she heard the genitalia line was so funny.
@@ireallywannasleep3737 Hard truths are hard to take, but we all have the responsibility of keeping society from falling. You must be perfect, to dismiss any advice so casually.
This is giving an amalgam of Ryan’s previous work: Mickey Mouse Club, SNL, La La Land, and The Nice Guys. And for that, I am eternally grateful to Greta, the casting director, and songwriters for giving him this opportunity to absolutely shine.
Choosing Ryan for this role is a masterpiece. I doubt anyone else could portay Ken so believable and funny at the same time. Also his charisma is outstanding. Never enjoyed looking at behind the scenes so much as the rollerscate ones💚
He didn't lie, this movie really is deeper than i initially thought and Ken really does play a major role in it. He's not even in the movie title but got such a big plotline.
@@Phoenix-pm2qr Nobody sad it's smart. I said it's deeper. Not just "so here's Barbie and Ken's day to day life and sometimes they argue but everything is still good".
@@Phoenix-pm2qr It manages to criticize two extreme positions, criticizes co-dependency, and sticks the landing with Ken and Barbie both being sigma chads. That is a lot smarter than average.
Ten years ago I had a steam group of friends. We all had different Ken names. Totally Hair Ken. Earring Magic Ken. Shaving Fun Ken. Our names and display pictures. Ken. When we were on top of the scoreboard? All Kens. Finally, the whole world can feel this KENERGY. THANK YOU GRETA GERWIG AND RYAN GOSLING! BEHOLD THE KENAISSANCE IS HERE!
I want to see this movie again just for this scene alone. That and the “Depression Barbie” ad- I was crying from laughing during both scenes. I felt both seen and attacked lol
I’ve actually never thought about it this way before, how Barbie is just Barbie while Ken only exists in Barbie’s world. Way to grant some depth to the character!
The funny thing is the film doesn't recognize this, and greta gerwing is too busy ranting and raving about "the real world being lead by men" and showing bill clinton and men golfing, instead of recognizing that in fact ken is the underdog in this story, and barbie is the oppressor. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of a emotional 30 year old woman's rants about men (which are sexist).
Finally Ryan Gosling gets to go back to his theatre kid roots

Many people have absolutely no idea just how hard this hits in the feels and that it could mean so many things:
-Being the eldest son, you receive the least love and attention even if you are the most behaved and try to be the one most respectful to your parents.
-Being an employee, even though you are hard working, committed, very seldom calling in sick or being late and constantly putting in extra hours with no incentives but no one recognizes your hard work and dedication.
-Being an average-joe male member in society looking for love and no woman ever showing interest to you or giving you any chance.

@@M_J.Totally agree!
I think he does but it was for the toy story 3 tie in
ok
Apparently it's called the Kendom.
Why am I so obsessed with this song? Its goofy and funny and still hits deep at the same time. I especially like when Ryan goes "and I'm great at doing stuff"...cracks me up every time😂😂
Simply the best character in the movie.
Unironically the best part of the movie. Also, the part when Barbie told Ken he needs to learn who he is without her is a great food for thought for real-life relationships.
Glad you enjoyed my performance. Done by literally me.
Thats true an is a good message. On the other hand if you think carefully it's really HARD for someone whose life was around a woman to begin a new track without her.

I'm just Ken , ( and so am I ) 😂😂 ⬅️ fav part
the only character with actual love and empathy
Simu Liu was also great in this movie, loved them both so much. And Michael Cera was fantastic too!
Ryan Gosling wasn't joking around when he said Ken was a role he was born to play. Not only he was so hilarious with his comedic timing, his singing sequence is great. I don't think it's a stretch to nominate him in Oscars for best supporting actor.
Agreed, he's quickly becoming a beacon of hope for young men hoping to fight misandry. Good stuff
I don't care if he's nominated for Best Supporting Actor. I just want him to perform this masterpiece at the Oscars so that the Oscars can truly feel the Kenergy
@@15Candles That's kinda guaranteed tbh.
And to think it was all because he saw his daughter just throw a ken doll on the ground like it was nothing and thought "His story must be told!"
nah bro
nothing has ever been more beautifully camp and wonderfully unserious than this movie
If only we got that with Power Rangers a couple years ago
ok
YES! I’m so excited to see it
I think this is what a lot of people secretly sought after all this years.
I cant help but think this is the polar opposite of the sound of freedom thats also out now - I think I will like them both but if ever there were opposite types of movies those 2 are it.
Ryan Gosling deserved that Oscar, I think people underestimate how difficult it is to play comedy roles such as this one. He will always be Kenough for us fans, legendary performance!
He actually deserves the Oscar for this. He carried the whole movie
he wanted Barbie to see her as a man, a man who could love her, not just as an accessory.
The movie should of been called I’m just ken
I heard somewhere that it's easy to play dramatic roles, but what is really complicated it is comedy. The way Ryan played Ken, it's a masterpiece. My favourite character of the movie.
Ryan has always been underrated!
Frfr. Ryan naturally has the flair for comedy and insane comedic timing (watch his interviews and skit). I've never doubted the choice in casting since it was announced.
He totally stole the show in the best way possible. The movie is as much about Ken as it is about Barbie.
It's the same thing in writing. Writing something that's sad? Bro, you just write something that's relatable and painful. Writing a story in which a young child's mother falls down the stairs and you spend the entire time dealing with how little Timmy copes with it? That's sad. I don't even need to address any specific qualities of writing here! Like, whether something is dramatic or sad is honestly 90% about *content* - but you can't get to comedy through content. It's everything else that makes it comedy.
its the hardest to do both imo, and i feel like the marriage of those two genres is when truly incredible fiction can be created
People who haven't seen the movie won't understand, but he honestly deserves an Oscar for this performance. I was not expecting him to be so hilarious yet poignant. He was just perfect in every way in this role
thank god they went with one of the best working actors intstead of eye candy like timothy chalamet
@@marshallleonard6673 as if Ryan Gosling himself isn't eye candy lmao
I just want him the perform this masterpiece at the Oscars. The Academy should feel the Kenergy
This movie will definitely win an award for something at the oscars. The Ken war scene, dancing with Simu Ken at the peak part of the movie was SO good. I might just go watch it the second time.
@@marshallleonard6673 timothee chalamet is an incredible actor, you should see his roles in "call me by your name" or his old work like "the prodigal son" he isn't just eye candy, he's a true actor.
Come for Barbie, stay for ken
"I'm Just Ken" is a masterpiece of a song exploring the multiple layers of existence, the purpose in life , craving for recognition and affection, romantic dilemma, unrequited love juxtaposed with self-sufficiency and brotherhood , male romantism and persistence...not to mention unwilling codependency and psychological alienation from an uncooperative , exploitative and inconsiderate milieu and a sense of belonging to the other side of the river where the grass is fancifully greener
P.S. - "He's literally me"
Also... Ryan Gosling is amazing. 😜
Um.......
so true
Someone had their coffee this morning!
I ain’t reading, allat
I can't deny that Ryan Gosling is easily my favorite part of the film. His performance as Ken really stole the show with every scene. Ryan's great comedic timing, charm and vulnerability just made everything better. Plus i loved the big musical number for how goofy and over the top it was.
Fr

@@user-yf8yp2gb4q His facial expressions kill me 🤣
Based on what I’m hearing about the movie, he seems to be the only decent part of it.
no, the movie is excellent
Barbie was the villain... Ken was the hero all along!!!
A movie about Barbie and Ken walks out as the most memorable character of that movie.
He really is Kenough.
I love that Ryan is getting incredible buzz for this performance because people, myself included, thought he was miscast. Now I can’t imagine anyone else in the role.
You just helped him identify with Ken even more. He is KENough.
Thank you I really appreciate it
He's the equivalent of Henry Cavill for Geralt of Rivia
Maybe Zac Efron, but he destroyed his face...
@@MrDick_UwUZac Efron is a bad actor and he’s only 5’8. He doesn’t fit the role.

This song has been stuck in my head for weeks
"I'm just Ken and I'm enough
And I'm great at doing stuff"
Haven't felt that motivated in ages. 4th time listening to this already and going.
Try listening to it every time at a different speed setting. It's like listening to a new version everytime.

Oh my god. That would be one incredible performance! 😁👍
needs to happen for the first time ever I will like the songs lol
I still don't understand why Ken was the villain, I actually felt very sorry for him. Ryan gosling truly nailed his role.
He wasn't
I honestly don’t even think he was villain. Hear me out, ken was objectively treated bad in the relationship. He had no friends, and his “girlfriend” never gave him any attention. He was trapped.
Than he comes into the real world and suddenly people see he him for a real person. In a weird sense, he’s just doing a non toxic version of feminism in a womens world.
Some might say what about the patriarchy? I don’t think he really even knew what it was, he said “I thought patriarchy was just about horses, I lost interest after”. Although it seems funny, really consider that line. What do horses represent? Freedom. They represent being free and able to be yourself untrapped.
I think he just wanted to be free. Poor guy
when women want to be seen and liberate themselves because they were the side-character they get cheers. when the roles are reversed the man in need gets laughed at.
TBH the real star of the movie. Dude is amazing in everything he is in. Who knew this movie would be a bro movie after all. Ken is becoming a male idol out of no where ha ha

It's a small detail, but I love how Ken is animated at around the 0:50 mark when he's thrown in the air because it looks exactly like what a child's doll would do if they were playing with it.

there are songs that define an entire generation then their are songs that define and entire Gender.
A few facts for anyone who doesn't get Ken's position in the new Barbie movie from a Barbie collector who got her first doll way back in 1962. From the day the doll was introduced, Ken has always existed simply as Barbie's side piece - nothing more, nothing less. Barbie is the star; Ken has always been there as a supporting player with no other real role. PERIOD. He's a background player, he has never really had any storylines in Barbie world, he's just THERE. The trailer portrays him pretty accurately. As the movie tagline goes, Barbie is "everything." And as the song says he's "just Ken." That said, this is THE power ballad of the YEAR!!!!
Honestly, I'm wondering what's up with Alan in this movie. He's the sidekick of Barbie's sidekick. The potential psychological damage of that is staggering.
so basically how misogynistic men write female characters with zero agency or depth :’)
@@user-xd3jl1hk7g Essentially, yes. That’s why the likes of Piers Norgan getting upset over Ken being “just Ken” is hilarious; it’s such on-the-nose satire and all these pissy men are getting genuinely offended by it.
@@user-xd3jl1hk7gyes. As a little girl, Ken was just there. Little girls just play with Barbie and her dresses and shoes. It was just fun. Just how little guys have their bayblades and transformers.
And anyone with humour and a little bit of wit can know it's a satire after this Ken release.
@@boobsmcgee5897omg i just watched a reel on that- the comments on the reel are sending me omg
I can't wait for this song to be nominated at the Oscars and Gosling performing it live, along with all other Kens!
Don't forget having Guns N Roses' Slash and Wolfgang Van Halen provide the guitar solo as they actually did it for this song 😂
The fact that it can be this song versus Jack Black singing Peaches 😂 what a time to be alive
This must be manifested.
Ken is 100% the tragic hero of this movie. Feminism is the villain.
And the tragedy is how feminism wins in the end by exploiting Ken’s love for Barbie and using it against him…… I literally have tears in my eyes because it’s so ironically beautiful in an unintentional way.
I'm not sure how unintentional it is. Bear in mind that in order for Barbie to grow, she needs to get away from Barbieland. The movie is complex in its worldview.

I don't get how people think this film is anti-men. This is the most positive male representation I've seen in media ever. Boys, you are Kenough.
Yes but instead of validating that men are important and valuable and should be appreciated they portray this as a bad moment and have to stop the kens from bringing in the patriarchy.
@@CommandoShepardthats what they did lmao... Patriarchy is portrayed as bad because it is and devalues females in a society... Its basically the opposite of what is in barbies world which is a complete female centered society... In the end they showed that both a female centered society and a male centered society is bad for both so they made it so that they have an equal ground that not every night has to be girl's night and its where ken would start building his own dream house for being kenough.
Well, it would all be fine if the ending was there being some sort of equality, but no, they had to bring gynocentrism back with all the Barbies im charge
@@justhair17dude, didn't you watch the movie? Neither the OG BarbieLand or Kendom is good. But in the end scene, they're on the right path with the Ken getting the respect and rights they deserved
