From a narrative perspective, yes, its a very important “boys are hurt by the patriarchy too” message. But to try make Barbie a feminist icon and giving her a fairly shallow role and her boyfriend a surprisingly deep and complex arc feels odd.
I guess my issue is not the depth of Ken’s story, but the lack of depth in Barbie’s.
