User blog:Skipper8888/Modernization of characters

Well, I always wanted to write this blog. Not only stories of Barbie movies become modern. There also are modern characters. I don't mean that characters become more fashionable or sassy, yes they did, but I want talk about other: Barbie's roles become more "kid like". For example Analuisa, Erika, Rapunzel Odette more like young women than girls. They are ready for living without an adult, marriage, having children, ect. They are more serious and mature. But Merliah, princess Tori, Lumina are teens, and sometimes seems to be still "children". I mean that they still live with some adult, who take care of them ( remember how Scylla take care of Lumina ), and of course they aren't ready for marriage. Also characters become more joyful and cool. Also it is very realistic: In old times 17 years old were young women. It was because they haven't lot of medicine and they usually died in age 45. But now people's lifetime is more longer and people usually life during 80 years. So, our 30 is their 17. Well, I love modern characters, because they are closer to us.
