The Goonies (1985)

The film's central conflict of economic displacement is a backdrop for an adventure focused on friendship and self-reliance, with the solution being individual initiative and the discovery of wealth rather than systemic critique or political action, resulting in a neutral stance.

The film features some visible diversity within its cast, reflecting a mix of backgrounds without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative itself is a straightforward adventure story that does not critique traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes.

The Goonies does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot and character arcs are entirely centered on a childhood adventure, with no elements pertaining to LGBTQ+ representation or issues.

The film features female characters, Andy and Stef, who are part of the adventure but do not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents. Mama Fratelli, a female antagonist, primarily uses firearms and authority, not close-quarters physical combat, to assert dominance.
