Score signals

Signal	What was measured	Strength	Impact
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 cultural analysis

A short read on tone, themes, and messaging — not a plot synopsis.

AI read

Don't Move presents a straightforward horror-thriller narrative centered on a group trapped in a deadly wilderness scenario. The story prioritizes tension and survival over ideological framing or social messaging. Dialogue and character interactions appear natural and focused on advancing the plot rather than delivering moral or political lessons.

The threat of a prehistoric arachnid hunting by vibration grounds the story in a primal fear rather than cultural or ideological conflict. Megan's role as the group's leader suggests a competence-driven protagonist who faces real danger and stakes, although there is a slight indication of a protected protagonist pattern if her survival feels too assured without narrative justification.
