Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central message champions accepting the past and the dangers of attempting to radically alter established events, emphasizing individual responsibility and the preservation of a natural order, which aligns with conservative values.
The movie incorporates significant diversity through the explicit recasting of several traditionally white comic book characters with minority actors. While featuring a diverse cast, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center its themes around DEI.
Secondary
Iris West, originally depicted as white in early comics, is portrayed by a Black actress. Additionally, Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), canonically a white Kryptonian, is portrayed by a Latina actress, constituting clear race swaps.
The Flash does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Barry Allen's personal journey and the multiverse concept without incorporating queer identities or experiences, resulting in no depiction.
The Flash (2023) does not explicitly portray transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. While the film is noted for featuring a non-binary actor in a major role, this aspect of LGBTQ+ representation is external to the movie's storyline and character depictions.
The film features Supergirl, a Kryptonian with superpowers, who engages in combat. Her victories against male opponents, such as prison guards, are achieved through the use of her inherent super strength and other Kryptonian abilities, rather than through skill, martial arts, or non-superpowered physical combat.
The film features Supergirl, who is canonically female and is portrayed as such. No established male or female character from the source material or prior adaptations is depicted with a different gender.
