Why the scores diverge

Pride highlight: Dialogue often serves to highlight social and political messages about solidarity and LGBT rights, sometimes at the expense of natural character interaction.
Pride: Some characters appear designed primarily to represent specific identities or political viewpoints, which can feel somewhat tokenistic within the ensemble.
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.
