Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film primarily explores philosophical and existential themes concerning creation, artificial intelligence, and the hubris of both human and artificial creators, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology. Its focus on these broad, apolitical questions leads to a neutral rating.
The film features a visibly diverse cast among its crew, though it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally established roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on sci-fi horror and philosophical themes of creation, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
Alien: Covenant includes an incidental portrayal of a same-sex couple among its crew, briefly depicted sharing a kiss. Their relationship is not developed, and their eventual deaths are unrelated to their sexual orientation, resulting in a neutral net impact on LGBTQ+ themes.
The film portrays Christian-like faith, particularly through Captain Oram, as a weakness that is easily manipulated and ultimately offers no protection or guidance against the film's antagonist. David explicitly mocks human faith, positioning it as a delusion that makes humanity vulnerable and irrelevant.
The film "Alien: Covenant" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on science fiction horror, androids, and xenomorph origins, with no elements related to gender identity or transition.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Alien: Covenant introduces new characters and continues the story of existing ones (David, Dr. Shaw) without altering their established genders. No legacy characters from previous Alien films are recast with a different gender.
Alien: Covenant introduces new characters for its crew and continues the story of characters from Prometheus. No established characters from prior Alien films or source material had their race changed in this installment.
