Primary
The film champions military heroism and national defense as the solution to a global threat, while portraying skepticism towards international disarmament efforts, aligning with right-leaning values.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation features a visibly diverse cast, with various ethnic backgrounds represented in prominent roles, though these castings generally align with established character portrayals rather than explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative focuses on action and heroism, without engaging in critical portrayals of traditional identities or making explicit DEI critiques central to its themes.
Secondary
The film features Jinx, a highly skilled martial artist and swordswoman, who engages in and wins multiple close-quarters physical fights against male opponents, including guards and ninjas, using her combat skills and a katana.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on military action and espionage, with no elements that touch upon queer identity or experiences. Therefore, its net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or explore related themes. The film's plot is centered on military operations, espionage, and global conflict, without any elements pertaining to transgender identity or experiences.
All established G.I. Joe characters featured in the film maintain their canonical gender from the source material. No characters widely known as one gender are portrayed as a different gender.
The film's main characters are cast in alignment with their established racial depictions from the G.I. Joe source material, including comics and animated series. No instances of a character canonically established as one race being portrayed as a different race were identified.
