With NASA announcing their streaming service NASA+ and also announcing it’s going to be free and also ad free, I’d just like to appreciate the lengths they go to make scientific knowledge and exploration as available as they possibly can.
honestly not even surprised that it was Stereotype Barbie who was enlightened. because she’s a stereotype. stereotypes are basic, flat, reductive. making margot’s barbie not even have a specified job, to not even be a leader in any capacity, is brilliant because she has all that space to grow into a full person from her own self-made stereotype, from how she first thought of herself, while also recognizing she doesn’t have to be a prodigy or trendsetter or a world changer to be considered worthy of being alive.
I also like the use of Stereotypical Barbie, because the film goes to great lengths to show viewers that Barbieland is uncomfortable for a lot of Barbies (mostly Weird Barbies or Discontinued ones). To also show that it doesn’t work for the Barbie is was made for?? That says a lot about gender roles and society! Even the women who fit the so-called ideals cannot meet them, are not perfect, and the movie shows us that that’s okay.
