Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film primarily functions as a slasher horror exploring the psychological trauma of its protagonist and a cycle of violence, without explicitly promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology. The narrative offers no clear ideologically-aligned solution to its central problems, resulting in a neutral stance.
The film features primarily traditional casting, consistent with its era and genre, without explicit DEI-driven character recasting. Its narrative does not engage in critical portrayals of traditional identities or incorporate explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on typical slasher film elements.
Secondary
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning does not contain any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on typical slasher film tropes without engaging with queer identity or experiences, resulting in no discernible impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
The film "Friday the 13th: A New Beginning" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a slasher plot at a halfway house, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences present in the story.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film introduces new characters and features an imposter of the established male antagonist, Jason Voorhees. No previously established characters from the franchise have their gender changed in this installment.
This film is the fifth installment in an existing franchise. Analysis of returning legacy characters, such as Tommy Jarvis and the killer (impersonating Jason Voorhees), shows no change in their established racial depiction from previous installments. New characters introduced in this film do not qualify as race swaps.
