Center
Primary
The shorts are lighthearted, commercial entertainment focused on humor and action, lacking any discernible political themes or messaging, thus earning a neutral rating.
The 'Marvel Funko Shorts' showcase a range of established Marvel characters, reflecting the existing diversity within the Marvel universe without introducing explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on lighthearted action and humor, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and not centering on explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
Marvel Funko Shorts are brief, comedic animated segments featuring Funko Pop versions of Marvel characters. They do not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on lighthearted gags and character interactions within a very short runtime.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Marvel Funko Shorts feature established Marvel characters, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America, who maintain their canonical genders from the source material. No instances of characters being portrayed with a different gender than their widely established one were identified.
