Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
While the film critiques societal alienation, a theme with broad appeal, its core solution emphasizes individual responsibility and a radical return to unmediated human experience by rejecting technological dependency, which aligns with right-leaning critiques of modern society and calls for personal accountability.
The movie 'Surrogates' features some visible diversity within its cast, though it does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles with minority actors. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, focusing its critique on technological dependence and societal issues rather than explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The character 'The Prophet,' depicted as a white male in the original comic book series, is portrayed by a Black actor (Ving Rhames) in the film adaptation, constituting a race swap.
The film 'Surrogates' does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely focused on a dystopian future where humans use robotic surrogates, and a detective's investigation into a crime.
Surrogates explores themes of technology, identity, and humanity through the lens of a society reliant on robotic avatars. The film does not include any transsexual characters or address themes of gender identity, resulting in no relevant portrayal.
The film features female characters, including Agent Peters, who participate in the plot. However, none are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts. Their roles are primarily investigative or involve the use of technology.
The film "Surrogates" is an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name. All primary and supporting characters maintain their established genders from the original source material. No canonical characters were portrayed as a different gender in the film.
