Who Is This Made For?
Hundreds of services tell you what entertainment is about. WhatSphere measures who it was made for — from the production, not from the coverage.
Demographic scores for movies, TV, games, and documentaries. Built by comparing credits, source material, and on-screen decisions. Press narrative is a claim we check. It is not the research.
5,422 titles scored from production records
Start from a question
Each card is a shareable filter on scores we already publish. Five of them have an essay that states the cutoff and links to the methodology.
Entertainment-first
Advocacy tier is entertainment (score 0–20).
Entertainment for young men
Entertainment tier and a young-men score of at least 60.
Entertainment for young women
Entertainment tier and a young-women score of at least 60.
Faithful adaptations
Adaptations whose faithfulness checklist is at least 70.
Severe franchise drift
Titles in a franchise whose stored drift severity is severe.
Cross-generational
Audience breadth is universal or mass-market.
Recently scored films
A sample of completed movie scores from 2010–2025. Each page leads with a data-grounded “who is this made for?” verdict, then the credits and source comparison behind it.
What we measure
Every title is scored from the same checklist. The inputs are public enough to challenge; the weights live on the methodology page.
Gender Axis
0 = strongly male-targeted, 100 = strongly female-targeted. Cast billing, genre seed, lead demographics, content signals, marketing.
Age Axis
0 = youth-oriented, 100 = mature-audience. Rating, complexity, platform, pacing, and violence profile.
Racial Audience
Representation across 9 categories, measured against a production-origin baseline — not against a recap of who “should” have been cast.
Faithfulness
Adaptations only: plot, character, tone, and cultural context versus the source text. Originals are marked N/A, not scored as unfaithful.
Advocacy Tiers
Entertainment, Mixed, Message-Leaning, or Advocacy-Driven — from swaps, org involvement, and attributed creator statements, not from headlines.
Audience Breadth
Universal to Niche. How tightly the four quadrant scores cluster — a spread, not a compliment.
Why the numbers look different from the coverage
Data, not outrage
A score traces to a credit, a page of source text, or a dated statement with a URL. If we cannot point at the record, we do not inflate the count.
Symmetrical rules
The same swap rule runs in every direction. Whitewashing and race-swapping are the same class of event with the same weight.
Open method
Formulas, confidence floors, and known biases are published. Read the methodology and challenge a score when the record disagrees.
