Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on personal growth, responsibility in relationships, and overcoming individual challenges, which are universal and largely apolitical themes. It does not promote or critique specific political ideologies.
The movie features visible diversity within its supporting cast, including characters of various racial backgrounds and a prominent gay character. However, the casting does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily focuses on the protagonist's personal journey without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Wallace Wells, a prominent gay character portrayed with dignity and humor, whose sexuality is normalized within the narrative. While a past same-sex relationship is mentioned for Ramona, it is not depicted negatively. The overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and themes is affirming, primarily due to Wallace's positive and integrated role.
The film "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Scott Pilgrim's relationships and battles with Ramona Flowers's evil exes, without incorporating transgender identities or experiences.
The film features female characters who engage in combat, such as Ramona Flowers and Knives Chau. However, their physical confrontations are either against other female characters, or they do not result in a clear victory over one or more male opponents in direct physical combat.
The film is a direct adaptation of the comic book series, and all major characters retain the same gender as established in the source material. There are no instances of characters canonically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
Based on a review of the graphic novel source material and the film's casting, no major or legacy characters whose race was established in the comics were portrayed by actors of a different race. All character portrayals align with their original depictions.
