Another took the opportunity to praise the “Barbie” script: “We realize how transgressive the ‘Barbie’ script is and highlights exactly how patriarchy persists.

Another noted, “Ryan Gosling, deservedly or not, got an Oscar nomination for ‘Barbie’ while Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn’t? This completely proves the point of the movie in 2024,” he concluded. “Literally, the entire purpose of the movie ‘Barbie'”, highlighted another.
