Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around individual grief and its destructive potential, resolved through individual heroism and self-sacrifice, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through explicit racial recasting of several traditionally white comic book roles and the accurate portrayal of a diverse character, America Chavez. While these elements contribute to representation, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center its themes around DEI.
Secondary
The film features America Chavez, a prominent LGBTQ+ character with two mothers, whose family is depicted positively and without prejudice. Her identity is normalized within the narrative, contributing to an overall affirming portrayal.
Baron Mordo, a character traditionally depicted as white in Marvel Comics, is portrayed by a Black actor in this film, consistent with his portrayal in previous MCU installments.
The film positively portrays the monastic and wisdom-seeking aspects of Kamar-Taj, which draws heavily from Tibetan Buddhist aesthetics and philosophy. Its practitioners are depicted as noble protectors of reality.
The film positively depicts the mystical arts and concepts, many of which are inspired by Hindu mythology and philosophy, as powerful and benevolent forces used by heroes to protect the multiverse.
The film 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or explore transsexual themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding its impact on transsexual representation, leading to an N/A rating.
The film features Wanda Maximoff who defeats multiple male characters, including members of the Illuminati and Masters of the Mystic Arts. However, her victories are consistently achieved through the use of overwhelming magical superpowers, not through close-quarters physical combat, martial arts, or melee weapons.
The film features established Marvel characters and their variants, all of whom maintain their canonical gender from source material or previous portrayals. No significant character undergoes a gender change.
