Center
Primary
Cloverfield is primarily a disaster/horror film focused on the visceral experience of a monster attack and individual survival, rather than promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology. Its central conflict and narrative are largely apolitical.
Cloverfield features visible diversity within its main cast, including a prominent Black female character, but as an original story, it does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative is a survival thriller focused on a monster attack, and it does not offer any critical portrayal of traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
Cloverfield does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is solely focused on the immediate crisis of a monster attack and the characters' struggle for survival, leaving no room for such portrayals.
Cloverfield is a found-footage monster film centered on a group of friends navigating a catastrophic attack on New York City. The narrative focuses entirely on survival and the immediate impact of the monster. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in the film's plot or character arcs.
The film focuses on a group of friends attempting to survive a monster attack in New York City. Female characters are present, but their roles do not involve direct physical combat victories against male opponents. Combat primarily involves evading the monster and using firearms against its parasites.
Cloverfield is an original film with new characters created for its narrative. There are no pre-existing characters from source material, prior installments, or historical records whose gender could have been altered.
Cloverfield (2008) is an original film with new characters, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing material. Therefore, no characters had a prior established race to be swapped.
