Detailed Bias Analysis
Not Available
Primary
The film focuses on apolitical fantasy themes of martial arts combat and a classic good versus evil conflict between realms, without engaging in explicit political commentary or allegory, thus earning a neutral rating.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast across various ethnic backgrounds in key roles, contributing to broader social representation. However, the narrative does not include explicit critiques of traditional identities, nor does it highlight intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles.
Secondary
The film features prominent female characters like Sonya Blade, Kitana, Jade, and Sindel, who are depicted as significant combatants. Given the nature of the Mortal Kombat tournament, these characters are expected to engage in and win close-quarters physical fights against male opponents, demonstrating their martial arts skill and strength.
The provided information details past LGBTQ+ representation in the Mortal Kombat franchise and expresses hope for its continuation in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film. However, it offers no concrete details regarding the actual presence or portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters or themes within Mortal Kombat 2 itself, resulting in an N/A rating due to a lack of confirmed depiction.
The film features prominent female characters like Sonya Blade, Kitana, Jade, and Sindel, who are canonically female in the Mortal Kombat franchise. Their portrayal in the film continues their established gender and roles, with no indication of any character's gender being altered from their source material.
The film features characters whose portrayals are consistent with their established races in the source material, or are new characters not subject to the race swap definition. No instances of a race swap are identified.
