Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film leans left by primarily critiquing the militarization of Starfleet and the ethical compromises made by Admiral Marcus in the name of security, ultimately championing a return to Starfleet's founding principles of peace and exploration.

The movie features a visibly diverse cast, consistent with the original series' progressive casting, but does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles with minority actors. Its narrative centers on traditional heroic archetypes without critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.

Secondary

Khan Noonien Singh, a character originally portrayed by a Latino actor and implied to be of Indian descent, is played by a white actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, in this film.

Star Trek Into Darkness does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on its primary plot without incorporating elements related to queer identity, resulting in no direct portrayal to evaluate.

Star Trek Into Darkness does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative focuses on science fiction action, exploration, and character conflicts unrelated to gender identity, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate under the given rubric.

The film features female characters such as Uhura and Carol Marcus. While they are present in action sequences, neither character is depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.

All major and legacy characters in Star Trek Into Darkness retain their established genders from prior canon. No character originally depicted as one gender is portrayed as another.
