Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's core conflict, the persecution of mutants as a metaphor for marginalized groups, strongly aligns with progressive critiques of systemic injustice, advocating for coexistence and empathy over fear and division as the solution to societal conflict.
The movie features visible diversity within its ensemble cast, particularly among the newly introduced mutant characters, with these roles generally reflecting their comic book origins. The narrative explores themes of prejudice and acceptance through the allegory of mutants, providing a subtle engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Mystique, who, in one scene, uses her physical combat skills and agility to defeat multiple male security guards in close-quarters before being injured. Other female characters primarily use superpowers or fight genderless robots.
Blink, a character typically depicted as white or of ambiguous race in the comics, is portrayed by an East Asian actress. Sunspot, canonically Afro-Brazilian, is portrayed by a Mexican actor, altering his racial depiction.
The film implicitly portrays Judaism in a positive light by using Magneto's background as a Holocaust survivor to underscore themes of persecution and discrimination. The narrative frames the historical anti-Semitism he faced as unequivocally wrong, positioning the audience to sympathize with the victims of such bigotry and understand its profound impact on his character.
X-Men: Days of Future Past does not feature any explicitly identified LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While the broader X-Men narrative often serves as an allegory for marginalized groups, including the queer community, the film itself does not directly depict or address LGBTQ+ identity, leading to an N/A rating for its specific portrayal.
The film "X-Men: Days of Future Past" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on mutants and their struggle for survival and acceptance, but this does not intersect with transgender identity or experiences. Therefore, no evaluation of portrayal is applicable.
The film features established X-Men characters from the comics and prior films, all of whom maintain their canonical genders. No character originally established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender on screen.
