Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Traditional

Primary

The film's central conflict involves fighting against an illegitimate, tyrannical regime, but its ultimate solution champions the restoration of the rightful monarch and the traditional social order, emphasizing loyalty and individual heroism.

The film features traditional casting with a predominantly white cast, reflecting the historical period and original folklore. The narrative presents traditional identities in a neutral to positive light, focusing on a classic tale of heroism without incorporating modern DEI critiques or themes.

Secondary

The film champions a righteous, just, and compassionate form of Christianity (represented by Robin Hood and King Richard) against its corrupt, tyrannical, and hypocritical perversion (represented by Prince John and his allies). The narrative clearly aligns with the virtues of the faith.

The film portrays Jewish characters (Isaac and Rebecca) as honorable victims of prejudice and greed, with the narrative clearly condemning the bigotry directed at them. Robin Hood's protection of them is presented as a virtuous act, positioning the audience to sympathize with the victimized religion.

The Adventures of Robin Hood, a classic swashbuckler, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on heterosexual romance and adventure, with no explicit or implicit queer representation.

The Adventures of Robin Hood does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's plot centers on historical adventure and romance, with no elements that would allow for an evaluation of transgender portrayal.

The film primarily features Maid Marian as the main female character. Her role does not involve direct physical combat. There are no scenes where she, or any other female character, engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against male opponents.

The 1938 film adaptation of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" portrays all its major and legacy characters, such as Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Little John, and Friar Tuck, with the same genders as established in the traditional legends and source material. No character's gender was altered from their canonical or historical representation.

The 1938 film adaptation of the Robin Hood legend features characters who are consistently portrayed by actors of the same race as their established historical and canonical depictions, which are white. No character widely established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
