Center
Primary
The film's central conflict involves a military force defending humanity from an existential, tyrannical threat, emphasizing military action as the solution and aligning with themes of national defense and the preservation of the existing order, which are often associated with right-leaning values.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, consistent with the established characters of the G.I. Joe franchise from its inception, rather than explicit DEI-driven recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on action and heroism, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Jinx, a skilled ninja, who is depicted using martial arts and melee weapons to defeat multiple male opponents in direct physical combat during the assault on Cobra-La.
G.I. Joe: The Movie, an animated action film from 1987, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on military conflict and sci-fi elements, with no explicit or implicit representation of queer identities or relationships within its storyline or character arcs.
G.I. Joe: The Movie does not include any transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on the conflict between G.I. Joe and Cobra-La, with no elements pertaining to transgender identity present in the story.
This animated film is a continuation of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series and introduces new characters. It does not alter the established gender of any pre-existing, canonical G.I. Joe or Cobra characters from the toy line or prior animated series.
