Score signals

Signal	What was measured	Strength	Impact
Message-first dialogue	How much the dialogue, monologues, or character interactions feel driven by overt messaging, moral lecturing, ideological framing, or making a point instead of serving the story naturally.	1/20	+1
Ideology over story	How much the overall storytelling prioritizes ideological framing, message delivery, social commentary, or activism-coded narrative choices over pacing, conflict, immersion, and entertainment.	1/20	+1
Protected protagonist pattern	How much the protagonist fits the protected-protagonist pattern (agenda-driven character construction) rather than competence fantasy. Score HIGH only when: competence appears unearned or unexplained; protagonist rarely faces consequences; antagonists exist mainly to demonstrate protagonist superiority; narrative treats protagonist as symbolically superior; plot shields protagonist from vulnerability. Score LOW when: competence is grounded in training, profession, or past experience; protagonist suffers damage or setbacks; real physical danger and survival tension exist (normal action storytelling). Do not penalize competence fantasy.	2/20	+1

AI read

Rampage Unchained is a sports documentary that provides an inside look at Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's time in Pride fighting. Its narrative is firmly rooted in real events and the athlete's personal journey, which naturally limits ideological framing or message-first dialogue.

The film does not engage in legacy rewriting or inject modern political discourse, focusing instead on authentic sports storytelling. The protagonist's strength and skill are earned through his documented career, though the film may lightly soften his vulnerabilities to maintain a heroic image typical of athlete profiles.
