Leans Progressive
Primary
The film receives a neutral rating because its central focus is on personal and existential struggles related to immortality, explicitly avoiding overt political commentary or contemporary political issues.
The film maintains the franchise's strong commitment to diverse casting, featuring a Black female director and expanding its narrative with new characters within an already varied ensemble. While the narrative's emotional cohesion and portrayal of found family themes were noted as less impactful than the original, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities.
Secondary
The film includes established LGBTQ+ characters and relationships, but their portrayal is significantly diminished and sanitized compared to the first installment. Key romantic connections are downplayed, lacking previous intensity and emotional depth, resulting in a less visible and impactful queer presence that neither uplifts nor denigrates.
The film centers on strong female leads, including two women over 40, who are featured in prominent combat roles. These characters engage in and are victorious in close-quarters physical battles against male opponents, maintaining a women-centric narrative.
The Old Guard 2 does not feature transsexual characters or themes. While the film includes diverse representation, such as a gay couple, the trans community is not a highlighted element in its narrative or character development, resulting in no depiction.
The film features established female characters like Andy and introduces a new female antagonist, Discord. No existing characters from the source material or previous installments have had their gender changed for this sequel.
The film emphasizes diverse casting and inclusive storytelling with new characters, but the provided information does not indicate any established character from the source material or previous installment has been portrayed by an actor of a different race.
