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.
The Irishman: Characters feel well-integrated into the narrative, with depth and complexity rather than tokenistic representation or symbolic checkboxes.
