Why the scores diverge

The 18-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.

Starsky & Hutch highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into humor that highlights character differences but rarely feels like overt ideological lecturing.
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.
Starsky & Hutch: Some characters, like Huggy Bear, serve as nods to diversity but their roles feel somewhat tokenistic rather than deeply integrated into the narrative.
