Diversity: High
Confidence: High

This Taiwanese film explicitly integrates LGBTQ+ themes by featuring a same-sex ghost marriage, adapting a traditional cultural practice to be inclusive of same-sex relationships. The narrative actively challenges heteronormative norms and addresses issues like homophobia through character development and social commentary, making these themes central to its storytelling.

It celebrates social progress while depicting LGBTQ+ characters with dignity and emotional depth.

Trans: N/A
Confidence: High

The film Marry My Dead Body features transsexual characters or themes. However, due to the lack of specific information regarding their depiction, a definitive assessment of the net impact as positive, negative, or neutral cannot be made.

Female Combat: No
Confidence: High

The film focuses on a supernatural mystery and comedy. While a female police officer is a significant character, she does not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents. Her role is primarily investigative and supportive.

Gender Swap: No
Confidence: High

The film Marry My Dead Body features original characters whose on-screen genders align with their established roles. There are no instances where a character's gender deviates from their canonical or original depiction, thus no gender swaps are present.

Race Swap: No
Confidence: High

The film features original characters with no prior established race from source material or history. All major and supporting roles are played by ethnically Han Taiwanese actors, aligning with the implied character backgrounds and the contemporary Taipei setting. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
