Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative is a clear anti-imperialist and anti-authoritarian rebellion against an oppressive, expansionist empire, aligning its dominant themes with progressive critiques of power and advocacy for the oppressed.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through its intentional casting choices, featuring a racially diverse ensemble in prominent roles within a European-coded fantasy setting. While the narrative incorporates diverse characters and relationships, it primarily focuses on power struggles and individual corruption rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The Witcher: Blood Origin offers a positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters through the lesbian couple, Scian and Meldof. Their relationship is depicted with dignity, love, and complexity, serving as a source of support and emotional depth without facing prejudice. Their queer identity is normalized, contributing to an affirming representation within the series.
The show features multiple female characters, including Éile, Scían, and Meldof, who are skilled warriors. They repeatedly engage in and win close-quarters physical fights against male opponents using melee weapons and martial arts.
The Witcher: Blood Origin does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The series focuses on a fantasy prequel story set in the elven kingdoms, prior to the main Witcher saga, without engaging with this specific aspect of identity.
The Witcher: Blood Origin introduces an entirely new cast of characters created specifically for this prequel story. As these characters do not have established canonical genders from prior source material, there are no instances of gender swapping.
The series primarily features new characters whose races were not established in prior Witcher canon. Existing characters are portrayed consistently with their source material depictions, thus no race swaps occur.
