Barbie Was Worse Than You Thought

Barbie Was Worse Than You Thought
I'm this video, we talk about why Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" might not be the feminist triumph it claims to be. Despite its box office success, this film has sparked wild Twitter debates and missed out on major Oscar nominations. We look into a world where the patriarchy is vilified, men are mocked, and the idea of female empowerment gets lost in a sea of stereotypes. Is "Barbie" just another Hollywood attempt at social engineering, or does it have a deeper, more troubling message?

U misunderstood the movie, it’s not about hating men, it’s about showing world, history and statistic and laws, yes u men ain’t the best example and when we show it to u, ofc u think we hating, but it’s just facts…..

[@andresf1876]

I randomly got this recommended and didn’t even bother finishing the video cause he is giving Andrew Tate brain rot. Men not being able to take any criticism without crying is so pathetic but so expected

Its crazy how they dont see how embarrassing they are 😂​@@andresf1876

[@pogolas]

"U men are not the best examples"? What do you mean? There are only two sexes. What sex is left to be the "best"?

[@Randomusername39]

I wasn’t too big of a fan of the movie myself, still, this is the most pathetic and ridiculous commentary about it I’ve seen. It seems that u cannot handle the fact that patriarchy is actually an issue for a lot of people- men and women- and did not understand one bit about the movie which is proving that women are just structurally disadvantaged in every kind of branch. Yes, the movie was very superficial and unoriginal in every way possible, but it’s just too showing that it apparently still couldn’t get this overly obvious message to you…

[@maziksizik5601]

closed as soon as he said about feminism gearing towards hating men. heard enough to understand that this will be a super biased "i missed the point and dont know it" type of video...

[@summeri3]

exactly

[@pogolas]

Yea. We all know, that feminists love men. How could he even dare to say the opposite?

[@maziksizik5601]

@@pogolas educate yourself !

[@ThatGastrodon]

Look into what the original feminists of the 60's thought of men. Look into what feminist theory implies. Yes, they hate men. If you think feminism isn't about hating men, you're not being honest about the history, the founders, the foundational texts, or even the casual misandry that feminists of today are perfectly fine with.

[@pogolas]

@@maziksizik5601 that's very vague.

[@peakcinemalover]

What a terrible reading of the movie. Look beyond your biases for once and understand the larger point it's trying to make

[@allegory1062]

It was a perfect reading. You're the biased one.😂

[@iv6872]

he didn't go far enough, the biases of the filmmakers would be laughable if they weren't so dangerous and destructive for human flourishing, and their "point" is a neomarxist delusion born of envy, hatred, ignorance and intolerance.

[@gamervet4760]

​@allegory1062 They want to chime in that he misunderstood it, yet don't actually point out the point of it. They chalk it up to criticism. I just don't understand the appeal of being criticized for having a dick. Also, Barbie the company isn't exclusively ran by men. It's ran by both and I'm pretty sure the president is a woman. Any fact checkers go ahead and please, pretty please correct me if I'm wrong. I dare ya!

[@haloreaper743]

As soon as i heard you snuff and use sarcasm i knew the type of guy you were and that the plot went right over your head. I also know you probably watched it once, didn't ask an average woman what her opinion was on the movie and decided to go make an ignorant video.

[@smartestgirl]

1:22 Funny how you mock people for complaining about how Barbie didn't receive much awards, and then you whine over a movie because you somehow misunderstood the meaning

[@Rosischell]

You misunderstood the movie

[@pogolas]

Can you elaborate?

[@aaccrr78]

This might be the worst take I’ve heard in awhile, Jesus Christ.

[@Tyr5555]

I’m sorry what?

[@star.r9824]

It would be nice if you could point out more specific examples of your arguments to support them. There were definitely moments where you would throw things out without explaining how you reached that conclusion. For example, at 3:55, you say "This movie throws an entire gender under the bus while pretending to be about girl power" or at 5:32 when you say. I can generally guess from where this idea is coming from, but I don't definitively know your thought process. Also, I feel as if your video lacks nuance and seeing different perspectives. I understand that the focus of this video may have been on your own opinion, but reflecting on the video from other people's perspectives can really enrich a review. I have a difficult time agreeing with you (I don't feel like getting into the details of why) which may taint my criticism of the overall structure of the video, but I hope this is helpful either way :)

[@orbitronviktoriusii6325]

Ironically the first clip you edited in with Ortega explains the whole movie. It's about women seeing themselves in a movie. It was a comedy movie for women and it was enjoyable. It's just not for you, it doesn't have to be deep to entretain

[@gabbym333]

It wasn't just supposed to be a comedic movie though.

[@ErikBramsen]

Love your videos, but I think you're off the mark with this one. I'm a bona fide sexist pig and I thought the movie was quite clever because it can be read both ways: pro and con feminism. It's no coinkie that Gosling got the Oscar because Ken is the real protagonist in the movie - at least in my viewing.

[@lelegold4178]

lul someone is salty

[@CEWIII9873]

Yes, BUT They will only focus on the money made...which is substantial. Really, this movie is more a triumph of marketing than anything else. For instance - look at the decline in sales the second weekend after this movie opened.

[@professorwright1428]

........... there wasn't one, it kept making money until it became Warner Brothers most successful film.

Biased and missed the point. Bro, take another look at feminism and then do another video on this. Your vision is very colored by the rose-tinted glasses you live the world in.

[@luabaldet]

oh this movie was made by a MAN. I see lol

[@iv6872]

I think that the female writers also have something to do with it, men seem to write women better.

[@summeri3]

yea because that’s your understanding of women lol
