Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around saving the world from an alien invasion, a largely apolitical premise. The solutions presented, emphasizing teamwork, family, and heroism, are universal themes rather than aligning with specific political ideologies.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit racial recasting of several traditionally white characters, including Raphael, Donatello, and April O'Neil. However, its narrative primarily focuses on action and adventure, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features April O'Neil, who actively participates in physical combat against the alien Krang. She is shown using her baseball bat and martial arts-like skills to defeat multiple male-coded Krang opponents in close-quarters engagements.
April O'Neil, a character widely established as white in previous iterations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is portrayed as a Black character in this film, consistent with the 'Rise' series.
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie does not include any explicit or identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the established characters and their conflict with an alien invasion, without incorporating elements related to queer identity.
There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in 'Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, 2022'. The film does not depict any transgender individuals or explore related topics within its narrative.
The film features the established Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters, including Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, Splinter, April O'Neil, and Casey Jones. All significant characters retain their historically canonical genders from previous iterations of the franchise.
