Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's core narrative revolves around a private investigator solving a crime, a theme that is largely apolitical and focuses on individual justice rather than promoting specific left or right ideologies. Its problem/solution framework emphasizes individual agency in uncovering truth without a broader political agenda.
The film features traditional casting with a predominantly white, European ensemble, consistent with its genre and era. Its narrative does not present a critical portrayal of traditional identities, instead maintaining a neutral or positive framing.
Secondary
The 1970s detective series 'Cannon' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. As a product of its time and genre, the show focuses on traditional crime-solving narratives without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
The show primarily focuses on the male protagonist, Frank Cannon, and his investigations. While female characters appear in various roles, there are no notable instances where a female character is depicted defeating one or more male opponents in direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights.
