Why the scores diverge

Empire Waist highlight: The dialogue often leans into messaging about body positivity and inclusivity, sometimes at the expense of natural character interactions.
Empire Waist: Characters appear somewhat designed to represent body diversity and inclusiveness, which can feel tokenistic rather than fully integrated into the story.
The Odyssey: Significant rearrangement and re-centering of the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy sequence shifts the narrative focus toward Odysseus's guilt, marking a clear legacy rewriting from Homer’s original epic.
