Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative is an apolitical fantasy adventure focused on mythological quests, friendship, and heroism, with no explicit promotion or critique of specific political ideologies. While it touches on themes like acceptance and environmentalism, these are presented within a fantastical context rather than as political statements, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through explicit racial recasting of traditionally white roles, such as Grover Underwood and Chiron. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes within its primary storyline.
Secondary
The character Marthas, one of Hermes's caduceus snakes, is portrayed as female (voiced by Octavia Spencer) in the film, while in the source books and mythology, the character is consistently depicted or implied as male.
Grover Underwood, a key character depicted as white in the original book series, is portrayed by a Black actor in this film, consistent with the previous installment.
The film 'Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses entirely on the mythological adventures of its main characters without engaging with queer identity or experiences, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The film "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this rubric.
The film features female characters like Annabeth Chase and Clarisse La Rue who participate in combat against various monsters and antagonists. However, there are no scenes where a female character individually defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights.
