I mean, putting aside that "establish a misogynist state" wasn't so much "fixing it" as "making it the opposite kind of bad", Ryan expressed no interest in doing anything other than thinking about self actualization and dating Margot. Considering that she was entirely within her rights to not return his romantic feelings and he didn't express interest in becoming human, it's hard to say she abandoned him any more than she abandoned the other Barbies.
The Aqua song? Now's probably as good a time as any.
"Fixed. "
He's a Ken doll, not a miracle worker.
Gardener (twice) -- they're both guys but neither of them are Guy.
I mean, considering that they had Physicist Barbie in a maid outfit serving "brewski beers" to a Ken and talking about how great it is to never have to think or make decisions and had President Barbie doing the same while a Ken became President pro-tem with no vote (since the first vote was explicitly to be held later in the film) I disagree?
Thank you, corrected.
Were they compelled to do those things, or did they choose to?
Once Ken goes back to Barbie World after learning about patriarchy in the real world, the Ken's take over and the Barbie's are mind-controlled into being subservient to them. The movie makes it pretty clear that it is mind-control, but doesn't really explain why it happened beyond "weird things happen when people from Barbie World interact with the real world".
Considering their later distress about it, I'd say probably compelled. Though the concept of patriarchy seems to oddly function like your universe's version of anti-life, in the sense that exposure seems to cause dolls to act in accordance with it, without necessarily being explicitly told to by anyone.
Like an entire world that's just Robot Chicken scenes...Moves fast for someone without knee-joints.Sorry, I figure they're human-like, but the image of a doll tottering along at a run...
Perhaps in their world, any concept is a dangerous memetic hazard.
It's based on several critical reviews of the movie. Zoat also hasn't seen it.
Yeah, it's kind of implied that the residents of Barbie Land absorb any ideological propaganda uncritically unless they've been exposed to the self contradictory mess that is actual reality.
That's a genuinely hilarious reason for correcting someone on the events of a movie that you haven't watched.
Keep in mind, this very much isn't the first time Mr Zoat has done this.
Ah, the time has come, then. A reckoning in blood and pain for the things Ahri'ahn has done thus far. Because, let's not forget, besides the whole 'Atlantis Rising' thing, he tried to trash Abberance and kill some folks the Renegade has a fondness for. There's red in his ledger about to be paid off...
Orcus, for the record, is an Etruscan deity of the Underworld. D&D borrowed the name for the Demon Prince of Undeath. And presumably the most likely to have a claim on Ahri'ahn's soul.
I don't know, Luna strikes me as less forgiving than her sister or the other Alicorns. She's old-school.
It certainly was exotic.
Or perhaps the Renegade is simply smart enough to take in the whole view using peripheral vision, while staying focused on her eyes,
...Save that for the party afterwards, Renegade. Preferably once you've prevented a second round of tsunami conditions as Atlantis returns to the sea floor...
Here he comes to save the day!
The paycheck proving a little more than he can handle, eh? Hopefully it'll slow him down a little.
Ah, already suffering a heavy price from the magical drain, I see, given that sudden aging. Or Luna's stepping in.
But he's still not weakened enough to go down so easily, even if he's probably looking more like Kulan Gath now.
Yeah, save the racist spiel, Ahry. And good show, Luna. Putting some of that Pegasus magic to use, eh?
Well, the room's a write-off, but that was a given either way, assuming the sinking would be as forceful as the raising.
No doubt he's heard of that trick, and prepared defences against it.
Still, the distraction value makes the attempt worth it.
Oof. Bet that would hurt like hell if you could disrupt the reforming process.
Nicely done again, Luna. Prepared defences when you know you're facing a water-focused mage.
...Defeated, Ahry? I don't know, you're making a good showing but two-on-one is going to overcome you sooner or later.
Heh. Getting a bit of the 'MCU style of magic' vibes there. I can't help but picture him with glowing, fizzing blue runes around his hands now.
Not a solid kill-shot... Yet. And make sure of it, any good sorcerer with half a brain makes themself very hard to kill.
At least they have a good level of coordination in their timing. When he focuses on one...
...The other takes a shot. And that is one hell of a kill-shot.
Just to add insult to injury, huh? Not like he didn't earn that.
There's that 'metaphysical harmonisation' he mentioned.
...Let's hope the integrity of your armour's codpiece withstands the unleashing of the Rene-hog... Man, Orin must be feeling really embarrassed right now.
...So, Empty palace bedroom, or back to Challenger mountain?
...Ugh, that joke was a little forced, eh? At any rate, let's hope they can finish up quickly, given that things are going to be rather unstable in the next few hours. Ironically, Batman might well be one of the few heroes who understands the Renegade and Luna's little moment, given some of his fights with Catwoman or Ra's Al Ghul's forces when Talia is involved....but between what's clearly a casting aid and his aged stick-like arms...
Should be 'freezing', unless it's being really artsy.
...then tries to raise a shield spell of some sort...
His hair darkens to his original brown and his flesh becomes a little more vibrant.
...his rushes shield failing to stop my descending daiklave!
