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.
Boston Strangler: Characters, particularly the female reporters, sometimes appear constructed to highlight feminist themes and representation, which slightly overshadows deeper character development.
