Why the scores diverge

  • The 13-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.
  • Resident Evil highlight: The dialogue primarily serves the horror and survival narrative with minimal overt ideological messaging.
  • Empire Records highlight: Dialogue occasionally leans into moralizing about corporate greed and the value of independent culture, but it remains largely character-driven and natural.
  • Empire Records: Characters feel like a diverse group but are generally well-integrated into the story rather than feeling tokenistic or inserted for representation checkboxes.
  • Resident Evil: Characters appear to be motivated by survival and plot needs rather than symbolic representation or tokenism.
