I think it had numerous multifaceted points to make and made them from all sides.

It was female empowerment first and foremost, sure, but there were also strong messages about motherhood, manhood independent from women, finding purpose outside a hierarchy, and corporate bandwagoning for profit (which in itself is probably just a way for Mattel to seem like they’re aware of their own faults).

It was a good movie and the only people who would be offended by anything in it are man-children who can’t handle being told they’re not so special.

(I am a white man FWIW, and thoroughly enjoyed the movie)
