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 Platform: Characters sometimes appear to represent ideological positions more than fully developed individuals, with some serving as mouthpieces for critiques of class and societal structures.
