Why the scores diverge

The 58-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.

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.
