Why the scores diverge

  • A Language of Shapes highlight: The dialogue appears to lean heavily on explaining scientific concepts and research findings, which can feel more educational and message-driven than natural storytelling.
  • A Language of Shapes: Characters mostly serve to personify cellular components and pathogens, which limits their depth and organic development, though they are not strictly tokenistic in a demographic sense.
