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.
Anger Management: Characters are mostly defined by their comedic roles and situational dynamics, with some minor characters feeling slightly tokenistic but not dominating the narrative.
