    The thing that gets me is the McDonald’s employees tip. Whenever something like this happens the police are flooded with false information and bad tips, this case would have been even moreso due to the politics involved. What made them decide this random person in another state was credible? What about this tip in particular made them say “this information should be followed up on.”

    I mean by the by it was a funny movie and I liked it. But when you get right down to it, it was a hail-mary attempt by Matel to switch the narrative about their toys being unhealthy for young women’s body image. I’d say thats the only consistent message it had.

    Do you think so? Consider the subtext, not just the genders of the actors.

    The conflict of the film is, quite literally, an oppressed sex lashing out at the society that oppressed them and taking control. The resolution is the previously dominant sex regaining control and putting the oppressed sex back in their former, subservient positition.

    It is kind of funny that the movie’s ultimate message was that a society with strictly enforced gender roles and a dominant sex is good.

    Also where was the queer representation? They showed magic earing Ken but no gay characters? Really??
