Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's dominant themes align with left-leaning values through its strong anti-authoritarian critique of a powerful, secretive organization that sacrifices individuals for a perceived greater good, emphasizing the fight for freedom and truth against systemic oppression.

The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast in key supporting roles, contributing to a varied on-screen representation. However, its narrative primarily focuses on survival and dystopian themes, without explicitly critiquing or centering on traditional identities or broader DEI themes.

Secondary

The Maze Runner does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on survival and mystery within a dystopian world, with no explicit or implicit representation of queer identities or issues.

The film "The Maze Runner" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding positive, negative, or neutral impact on transsexual identity.

The film features Teresa, the only significant female character, who primarily assists the male protagonists with her knowledge and medical skills. She does not engage in or win any close-quarters physical combat against male opponents.

The film adaptation of "The Maze Runner" faithfully portrays the genders of its main characters as established in James Dashner's source novel. No significant character whose gender was canonical in the book was depicted as a different gender in the movie.

The film adapts characters from the novel without altering their established racial identities. Characters with specific racial descriptions in the source material, such as Minho (Asian) and Alby (Black), were cast accordingly. No character canonically established as one race was portrayed as a different race.
