Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film primarily functions as an action-thriller focused on preventing a global catastrophe orchestrated by a megalomaniacal villain, with the solution centered on individual heroism rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through the explicit gender-swapping of a traditionally male and white lead role within the franchise's established characters. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities, maintaining a neutral to positive framing in that regard.
Secondary
The character M, traditionally male in the James Bond source material and earlier film installments, is portrayed as female by Judi Dench in this film, continuing a gender swap established in previous films.
The World Is Not Enough does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on heterosexual relationships and traditional espionage plotlines, resulting in no LGBTQ+ representation within the film's content.
The film "The World Is Not Enough" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on espionage, terrorism, and a nuclear threat, without incorporating elements related to gender identity or transition.
The film features several female characters, including the antagonist Elektra King and the assassin Giulietta da Vinci. While Giulietta da Vinci engages in close-quarters combat with James Bond, she is ultimately defeated by him. No female character is depicted winning a direct physical combat encounter against one or more male opponents.
The film features established James Bond characters whose races remain consistent with prior portrayals. New characters introduced in this installment do not constitute race swaps as they lack prior canonical racial depictions.
