Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a supernatural ancient evil and individual heroism, which are largely apolitical themes, preventing any significant alignment with specific political ideologies.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, including an actress of North African descent portraying the Egyptian antagonist and a Black actor in a military role. However, it does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles or center its narrative around strong DEI critiques of traditional identities.
Secondary
The titular mummy, historically and canonically portrayed as the male Imhotep in previous film iterations and source mythology, is reimagined as the female Princess Ahmanet in this reboot, constituting a clear gender swap.
The Mummy (2017) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. The narrative is entirely focused on its horror-action premise involving ancient curses and monster mythology, resulting in no portrayal of LGBTQ+ elements within the film.
The film "The Mummy" (2017) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate regarding transsexual identity or experiences, resulting in an N/A rating for its net impact.
The film features the antagonist Ahmanet, who defeats male opponents, but her victories are consistently achieved through overwhelming supernatural powers such as telekinesis, super strength derived from her mummy state, and life-draining abilities, rather than physical skill or martial arts.
The film introduces new characters like Ahmanet and Nick Morton, or portrays established characters like Dr. Henry Jekyll with actors of the same race as their canonical depiction. No character was originally established as one race and then portrayed as a different race.
