Why the scores diverge

Dragonfly: Characters are developed with emotional depth and narrative purpose rather than serving as symbolic or tokenistic figures.
Barbie: Several characters appear designed more to tick diversity boxes and represent political symbols than to serve the narrative organically, which disrupts character depth and coherence.
