Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film's central conflict critiques human industrialization and expansion as destructive forces against nature and ancient cultures, fostering strong empathy for the marginalized mythical creatures and lamenting the loss of a magical world.

The movie features a cast predominantly of white actors in its human and humanoid roles, without intentional race or gender swaps of traditional characters. Its narrative focuses on the conflict between humanity and magical beings, rather than offering a critique of traditional human identities or explicitly centering on human-centric DEI themes.

Secondary

Hellboy II: The Golden Army does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on its established heterosexual relationships and the broader conflict between humanity and mythical creatures, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on fantasy creatures and a conflict between humanity and the magical world, without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.

The film's primary female combatant, Liz Sherman, utilizes pyrokinesis as her main offensive ability. While she engages in combat against male adversaries, her victories are achieved through the use of her fire-based superpowers rather than close-quarters physical skill, strength, or martial arts.

All major characters from the Hellboy comic series and the previous film maintain their established genders in Hellboy II: The Golden Army. New characters introduced in this installment are original creations and do not represent gender-swapped versions of pre-existing figures.

Based on a review of the film's main characters and their portrayals compared to the source material and previous installments, no established character's race was altered. New characters introduced in the film do not fall under the definition of a race swap.
