Overview
It's been 10 years since John Connor saved Earth from Judgment Day, and he's now living under the radar, steering clear of using anything Skynet can trace. That is, until he encounters T-X, a robotic assassin ordered to finish what T-1000 started. Good thing Connor's former nemesis, the Terminator, is back to aid the now-adult Connor … just like he promised.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film primarily explores apolitical themes of fate, leadership, and humanity's struggle for survival against an inevitable technological catastrophe, rather than promoting specific political ideologies.
The film features a predominantly white main cast without any explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on a standard action-sci-fi plot, offering no critical portrayal of traditional identities or explicit integration of DEI themes.
Secondary
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot is entirely centered on the conflict between humans and machines, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on science fiction action and the struggle for survival against advanced artificial intelligence, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The film features the T-X, a female-coded advanced Terminator, who engages in combat with male opponents. However, her victories are consistently achieved through her advanced technological capabilities, superhuman strength, and built-in weaponry, which falls outside the criteria for physical combat victories based on skill or martial arts.
The film introduces new characters like the T-X, a female-coded Terminator, but this is an original character, not a gender-swapped version of an existing one. All returning legacy characters maintain their established genders.
All major and legacy characters in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines maintain the same race as established in previous installments or source material. New characters introduced in this film do not constitute a race swap.
