Psycho Beach Party: Some characters appear to be shaped around surf culture stereotypes and teen archetypes, which can feel a bit tokenistic but still serve the comedic and horror tone.
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.
