Why the scores diverge

The 63-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.
Barbie highlight: The dialogue often feels like a platform for feminist and ideological messaging rather than natural character interaction, with characters delivering lines that prioritize social commentary over story progression.
Frankenstein highlight: Dialogue occasionally leans into philosophical or moral themes but generally serves the story rather than overt messaging.
Frankenstein: Characters feel primarily motivated by the narrative's tragic and dramatic needs rather than symbolic or tokenistic purposes.
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.
