Passenger highlight: Dialogue appears primarily focused on advancing the horror-thriller plot with minimal ideological or moral lecturing.
Passenger: Characters seem organically integrated into the narrative without obvious tokenistic traits or forced representation.
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.
