Why the scores diverge

  • 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.
  • Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century: Characters feel mostly organic to the narrative, with only minor moments where diversity or futuristic elements seem inserted for setting rather than tokenism.
