Overview
Barney, Christmas and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks, who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.

Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film leans right by championing individualistic, 'old school' methods and the enduring power of experienced, traditional masculinity to solve problems, ultimately portraying modern, tech-driven approaches as less effective.
The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast with various ethnicities and a prominent female character, but these roles are not explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a traditional action film structure, portraying traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Luna, a female character who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents. Her victories are achieved through martial arts and hand-to-hand combat.
The Expendables 3 is an action film that does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on its ensemble cast of action heroes and their mission, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.
The film "The Expendables 3" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding transsexual identity or experiences within the narrative.
The Expendables 3 introduces new female characters but does not alter the gender of any established characters from previous installments. All returning legacy characters maintain their original gender.
The Expendables 3 features an ensemble of original characters, some returning from previous installments and others new to the film. All returning characters maintain their established racial portrayals, and new characters do not have prior canonical racial definitions to be swapped from.
