  • Project Hail Mary highlight: Dialogue primarily serves the plot and scientific problem-solving, with only occasional moments that hint at broader moral or ideological themes.
  • 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.
