Leans Traditional
Primary
The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of heroism, responsibility, and family, balancing elements that could be interpreted as left-leaning (diversity, anti-xenophobia) with those that could be seen as right-leaning (individual responsibility, justice).
The movie features a predominantly traditional main cast, with its central white male characters portrayed in a heroic and positive light. The narrative does not incorporate explicit DEI themes or critique traditional identities.
Secondary
The 'Ben 10' franchise, specifically the 2016 reboot, includes a minor, incidental mention of a non-binary character. This brief acknowledgment of LGBTQ+ identity is neither central to the narrative nor elaborated upon, resulting in a neutral overall portrayal that neither uplifts nor denigrates.
The animated series 'Ben 10' centers on a boy who can transform into various aliens, focusing on action and adventure. The narrative does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes, thus offering no portrayal to assess under the provided rubric.
In the original Ben 10 series, female characters like Gwen Tennyson primarily rely on their intelligence or developing magical abilities for combat. While they participate in action, their decisive victories against male opponents in close-quarters combat are typically achieved through the use of their powers, rather than through physical skill, strength, or martial arts alone.
The 2005 "Ben 10" series is the original iteration of its characters. All main characters are portrayed with the gender established at their creation within this series, with no prior canonical versions existing to be swapped from.
The 2005 "Ben 10" series is the original iteration of its characters. Therefore, no character could have been established as a different race in prior source material or installments before this show's debut.
