I know I didn't watch it ~~or have any interest to do so~~. But... Were the assumptions I have about it true? In that just like the woke craze a few years back, its message backfired by essentially smacking the pendulum from where ever it was between masculism and feminism, to the extreme edge of feminism. This, to the point it becomes toxic, and making it what it seems now, the butt of a joke?

I also understand the primary purpose of the movie was likely for repopularizing the line of toys. It still had some form of message.

ETA: this was an honest question and in no way was implying any disrespect to women, the feminism movement, or the woke culture. I've just seen a bit of criticism and countless jokes that make fun of the film, that it becomes nearly impossible to to discern the truth.

Also with Mattel being the primary funding, I assumed that greed took over and they diverged from the original purpose of the product line and just created what seemed like a polarizing story on the outside to help sell.

"Honest questions" don't use loaded language like "woke".
