Gee, think that might have been yet another pointed joke or are we all deeply invested in the lore of Barbie World now?
I can see the joke, but that wasn’t the timing for it. This was a statement movie through and through, and while it does paint what has been done in the past to women this happened at the end of the film. For a statement film then end is a call to action, not a silly one liner. That joke was better reserved to happen closer to the middle or beginning. The ending should be reserved for an analogy for how things should be.
Yeah the way they wrote that made it seem like the people behind the movie were okay with that decision
