  • 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.
  • He Got Game: Characters feel authentic and motivated by their personal struggles rather than serving as mere symbols or demographic tokens.
