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.
New Moon: Characters feel organically developed within the story's imaginative framework, not inserted as tokens or symbolic placeholders.
