Leans Progressive

Primary

The Tick is a comedic satire of the superhero genre that primarily focuses on individual heroism, good versus evil, and personal growth within an absurd world, consciously avoiding explicit political commentary. Its narrative critiques genre tropes rather than societal or political systems, leading to a neutral rating.

The series features a visibly diverse supporting cast, but its central characters maintain traditional portrayals. The narrative primarily focuses on superhero parody and character-driven humor, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

The Tick offers a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters. Dot Everest's lesbian relationship is normalized and depicted with dignity, while a past same-sex relationship for Overkill adds complexity without judgment. The show consistently affirms LGBTQ+ identities as integral and respected parts of its narrative.

The animated series 'The Tick' (1994) does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate as positive, negative, or neutral, resulting in a net impact of N/A.

The show features skilled female characters who engage in combat. However, their victories against male opponents are primarily achieved through the use of firearms or as part of group efforts, rather than through individual close-quarters physical combat or martial arts as defined.

The 1994 animated series of The Tick faithfully adapts its characters from the original comic books without altering any established genders. All major characters retain their canonical gender from the source material.

The 1994-1997 animated series "The Tick" faithfully adapted its characters from the original comic books. Key characters like The Tick and Arthur maintained their established visual depictions and implied racial presentations from the source material, with no instances of a character's race being changed.
