Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, particularly through its central message of inclusive heroism, emphasizing that 'anyone can wear the mask' and celebrating diverse identities, especially with its biracial protagonist.
The movie features an Afro-Latino protagonist taking on a traditionally white superhero role, demonstrating explicit DEI in casting. The narrative celebrates diverse heroes without negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen), who consistently engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, including Kingpin's henchmen and other villains, using her spider-powers and martial arts.
The character of Doctor Octopus, canonically and widely established as male in Marvel Comics, is portrayed as a female character (Olivia Octavius) in the film. This constitutes a gender swap.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Miles Morales' journey as Spider-Man and his interactions with other Spider-people from different dimensions, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Miles Morales's journey as Spider-Man and the multiverse concept, without incorporating transgender identities or related storylines.
The film introduces Miles Morales as a new, distinct Spider-Man who is Afro-Latino, rather than race-swapping an existing character like Peter Parker. All other established characters from the Spider-Man canon who appear in the film maintain their historically depicted race.
