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.
After Earth: Characters sometimes feel designed to embody idealized traits or symbolic roles, especially the young protagonist who is portrayed as a near-perfect soldier-in-training.
