Why the scores diverge

  • Cyrano: Characters appear shaped to represent racial and social issues prominently, occasionally at the expense of deeper narrative integration.
  • 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.
