Why the scores diverge

  • Resident Evil highlight: The dialogue primarily serves the horror and survival narrative with minimal overt ideological messaging.
  • Possession highlight: Dialogue serves the eerie and unsettling atmosphere rather than pushing overt ideological points.
  • Resident Evil: Characters appear to be motivated by survival and plot needs rather than symbolic representation or tokenism.
  • Possession: Characters feel organically integrated into the disturbing narrative without obvious tokenism or demographic checkboxes.

Possession reads higher on anti-traditional framing than Resident Evil, which nudges the overall profile message-forward.
