I was worried at first about the Sasha character, because she goes so HAM with the feminist theory to Barbie when Barbie gets to the real world. I was afraid they were gonna cheapen everything she stood for by making her love Barbie in the end. But they played it smart--Sasha learned what Barbie represented (especially for the time period she was created in), and got closer to her mother without undermining her own values. And in fact, Gloria's speech to the Barbie's to snap them out of the patriarchy actually reinforced Sasha's original stance while giving her an appreciation for Barbie.
Because the movie sets up that Gosling Ken only destroyed Barbie Land because he was upset at how Barbie treated him, I thought they would somehow chicken out and have the two of them reconcile, but Gloria's speech killed all that, as it should have. Barbie didn't owe Ken shyt just because he liked her, and his actions were not justified just because she didn't reciprocate his feelings.
I also thought because Barbie Land went from entirely women-ruled to entirely men-ruled, they'd do some cheap-ass equality shyt at the end, but no. Women went back to running shyt, and maybe after some decades Ken's might get a Supreme Court justice.
There were some parts it did laugh out loud at. Barbie going to see a gynecologist at the end.
It was played so serious I thought she was gonna get a job at Mattel or some shyt.
