Why the scores diverge

Dope highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into social commentary about race and class but generally stays grounded in character-driven interactions.
Dope: Characters feel authentic and serve the story well, with minimal sense of being inserted solely for token representation.
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.
