Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Traditional

Primary

The film is rated neutral as its core narrative focuses on universal themes of individual redemption and the fight against clear evil through inspiring leadership, rather than engaging with specific progressive or conservative political ideologies.

The movie features a largely traditional cast without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on a male protagonist's journey of self-discovery and heroism, and while powerful female characters are present, the story does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes.

Secondary

Oz the Great and Powerful does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the origin story of the Wizard of Oz and his adventures in the magical land, without incorporating any elements related to queer identity or experiences.

Oz the Great and Powerful does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the origin story of the Wizard of Oz and his interactions with the witches and inhabitants of the magical land, without touching upon gender identity or transsexuality.

The film features several powerful female characters, primarily witches, who engage in magical combat. However, there are no instances where a female character defeats one or more male opponents through direct physical combat, martial arts, or melee weapons. Their victories are achieved through magical abilities.

The film introduces new characters and reimagines the origins of established ones, but all characters with a clear canonical gender from the source material (e.g., the Wizard, Glinda, the Wicked Witches) maintain their original gender in this adaptation.

The film is a prequel to L. Frank Baum's 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' and the 1939 film. All major characters derived from these established sources, such as Oscar Diggs, Glinda, Theodora, and Evanora, maintain their original racial portrayals. New characters introduced in this film are not considered race swaps.
