He Exists Hes Just Not The Main Character - Tumblr Posts

he even has a sixth sense for sensing when something ails barbie

People getting upset about Ken being just Ken in this movie clearly never experienced Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse. That show is basically a precursor to the new movie in the way that it shows the dynamic of Barbie and Ken pretty well. Barbie is the main character, Barbie is everything. And Kens stumbling over his own feet trying to be there for her however he can. Not obsessively, not creepily, just golden retriever himbo energy. Ken was never, by any means marketed to young boys, or intended to represent men. He was there to be by Barbies side in all her wacky adventures.
