Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central narrative champions the protection and celebration of a unique, marginalized group against a predatory, assimilationist threat, aligning with progressive values of diversity and social justice.
The movie features visible diversity within its cast, including a prominent Black actor in a villain role, but does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles for DEI purposes. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, with a white male protagonist and a white female protector, and does not center on explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film features Bronwyn Buntley, a female character with super strength, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against male antagonists (Wights) during the climactic battle.
The character Dr. Golan, a significant antagonist in the source novel, is male. In the film adaptation, Dr. Golan is portrayed by a female actress, constituting a clear gender swap for a named, plot-relevant character.
The character of Mr. Barron, who serves as the primary antagonist and combines elements of the novel's Dr. Golan and other Wights, was portrayed by a Black actor, Samuel L. Jackson. In the source material, these characters were depicted or implicitly understood as white.
The film 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on the adventures of peculiar children and their protectors without exploring queer identities or experiences, resulting in no discernible impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
The film 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its storyline centers on children with unique supernatural abilities and their efforts to survive, without engaging with gender identity issues.
