Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's core conflict is apolitical, but its solution champions individual responsibility, courage, and duty within a highly structured, order-maintaining intergalactic police force, subtly aligning with themes often emphasized in right-leaning narratives.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit racial recasting of a traditionally white comic book character with a Black actress. However, its narrative maintains a traditional framing, portraying its white male protagonist heroically without critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the story.
Secondary
The character Tom Kalmaku, canonically established as Inuit in the source material, is portrayed by Taika Waititi, an actor of Māori descent. As Inuit and Māori are generally considered distinct broader racial categories, this constitutes a race swap.
The film 'Green Lantern' (2011) does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Hal Jordan's origin story and his relationship with Carol Ferris, without exploring queer identities or experiences, resulting in no depiction to evaluate.
The film "Green Lantern" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on its superhero origin story without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity.
The film does not feature any female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Female characters in action roles primarily utilize superpowers or technology, or their roles do not involve direct physical confrontation.
The film adapts established DC Comics characters, and all significant roles, including Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris, and Sinestro, maintain their canonical genders from the source material. No gender swaps were identified.
