Why the scores diverge

  • Lanterns highlight: Dialogue occasionally veers into messaging territory, but not overwhelmingly so.
  • Hunters: Characters are broadly archetypal and serve more as pulp genre shorthand than as deeply developed individuals, which diminishes narrative depth and organic fit.
  • Lanterns: Characters have some depth, though elements of tokenism are present.
