#the thing is. and it doesn’t matter
#but like. Ken’s love for Barbie was played as a joke but it also wasn’t
#and I just think that his charisma and love should have been allowed to center her more and sort of …. I don’t know
#sweep her up on the wave of his charm as she headed out of Barbieland into the real world
#it didn’t even HAVE to make it full on romance
#because I think the sort of splitting up of Barbie and Ken as this joined identity was good and necessary
#and she had this journey to becoming human she had to take first
#and tbh I think it would have worked if they had ended the movie as friends
#with only the hint of something more
#but the simple truth is that the most consistently human thing in the movie as far as SHE was concerned
#was that he really loved her! and being loved that way. Is part of being human and even part of becoming human
#it’s to feel that warmth and understand it
#the Gloria thing didn’t really carry enough emotional weight for me. nor did the vague girlbossery. The creator was shoehorned in
#or even the touching (in itself) montage of mothers and daughters at the end
#but the realest relationship Barbie had the closest thing she had to it was being loved by Ken
#and if they both became human? and she stepped into that space with that warmth of love supporting her
#and making her step into this wider world? that would have been something
#and the thing is yes yes. He’s basically the Michael Scott of Ken’s. He’s doing the things he shouldn’t be doing in reaction to it
#and he has to learn and NOT do that and realize he’s kenough
#but that stupid line at the end? Where Gloria’s like ‘honey he stole your house etc. don’t feel BAD for him’
#rings hollow. especially because the General Public DID feel bad for him. He was the only one to feel bad for!!!!!!!!!
#so Greta and co. Tried to make this Point about rejecting the guy who thinks you Owe him Something
#But Ryan’s Ken was not really that guy! He just wasn’t! The core is too pure the love is too real! so the ending is just kinda mean
#and it de-centralized her! Ironically enough!!!! Ken WANTED her to have the world. His best self did!
#the movie should have let him give it to her. that is really it at the end of the day
