Why the scores diverge

The 21-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.

The Bride highlight: Dialogue primarily serves the gothic horror-romance narrative with minimal overt ideological lecturing or modern messaging.
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.
The Bride: Characters feel organically integrated into the story, with Eva’s role shaped by the plot rather than tokenistic representation.
