Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film leans left due to its explicit emphasis on female empowerment, diversity, and representation as central production goals and narrative elements, aligning with progressive values in Hollywood's post-2016 and 2020 discourse.
The film features a predominantly female and ethnically diverse cast, reflecting intentional DEI-driven casting. Its narrative strongly emphasizes female empowerment, centers on female characters, and challenges traditional gender roles within the superhero genre.
Secondary
Mattie Franklin, a character canonically depicted as white in Marvel Comics, is portrayed by Celeste O’Connor, a Black actress, in the film, constituting a race swap.
Based on available information, Madame Web (2024) does not feature explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's focus is primarily on female empowerment and diversity in terms of race and gender, with no reported LGBTQ+ representation or storylines. Therefore, the net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.
Madame Web (2024) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Based on available information, there is no depiction or direct portrayal of the transsexual community in the film's plot, characterizations, or themes.
The film features female characters, including Cassie Webb and the three young women she protects, who engage in combat against male opponents. However, their victories are consistently achieved through the use of their developing superpowers, such as precognition, super strength, enhanced agility, and camouflage, rather than non-superpowered physical skill or martial arts.
The film features female leads who are canonically female in the source material, such as Cassandra Webb (Madame Web), Julia Carpenter, Anya Corazon, and Mattie Franklin (all Spider-Women). The male antagonist, Ezekiel Sims, also retains his canonical gender. No established character's gender was changed for this adaptation.
