That’s actually a solid idea – the trick is turning the vibe into numbers. Start by scraping comments, reactions, and shares for those political keywords, then run sentiment analysis to see if people are rallying or rebelling. Look at who’s sharing it—by location, age, interests—and see if certain demographics are spiking in engagement. You can also track related hashtags on other platforms to gauge cross‑channel resonance. In short, map the emotional heat map and watch it shift over the release cycle; that gives you a pretty good pulse of ideological resonance.

You’re right—data is only the baseline. If you overlay that with a qualitative read of the plot beats, you can spot where the audience flips their thinking. Combine heat‑map of engagement with a timeline of key dialogue moments, and you’ll see where the story nudges convictions. That’s the sweet spot between numbers and narrative.
