Why the scores diverge

True Lies highlight: The dialogue primarily serves the story and action, with minimal ideological or moral lecturing.
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.
True Lies: Characters are developed around their roles in the plot rather than as symbolic tokens or demographic checkboxes.
