Barbie: The Best Part Of This Billion Dollar Movie

The Barbie to some’s surprise is an international hit. The latest box office success shows that maybe the theaters aren’t dying, fans are just getting tired of the reboots and sequels, prequels, and franchises. Nothing says burnout quite like seeing the same characters over and over again, with the same stories just slightly tweaked. Barbie, a movie about the toy from Mattel, is the summer’s biggest draw. Yet despite all that, it’s not even the most fun part of the movie.

The best part of it is these rich white men who have their panties all in a bunch because the movie makes fun of just that, the rich, white, men who rule the world. It’s so funny to see how many of these dudes want so badly to be relevant with their reviews of the movie. People like Bill Maher and Ben Shapiro who trash the movie because it pokes fun at the patriarchy.

OK, "Barbie": I was hoping it wouldn't be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie – alas, it was all three. What is a Zombie Lie? Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be…

Remember when these same buttwipes kept spewing “Everyone is so soft” and “People need to learn how to take a joke.” Well, that’s exactly what they need to do. Guess what gentleman, the Barbie movie isn’t about taking down men and destroying the patriarchy. You’re just a clown who missed the whole point of the movie.

Okay. Yes, the movie does use that reoccurring joke and plot point throughout but you obviously missed the bigger moral you were supposed to walk away with. When your undies get all knotted because you were called out for something you’re clearly sensitive about, then there’s no coming back from that. You’ll forever see what you want to see and there’s no coming back.

By the end of the movie, Barbie was about finding herself and whose sole purpose isn’t just to be in a relationship with a man. The same can be said of Ken, who would eventually come to realize he was more than just eye candy for Barbie. So while the movie used the patriarchy to tell a story about a toy that went against the status quo for little girls’ toys, there wasn’t as much fault with it. They actually used the humor to perfection. But the real humor is these old white men with hard-ons for tearing down a billion-dollar movie because it made them feel a certain way and that is way funnier.
