Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around humanity's apolitical struggle for survival against an external alien threat, with its resolution emphasizing broad international cooperation and human ingenuity rather than specific ideological stances.
The movie showcases a visibly diverse international cast, including a Black lead and significant roles for women and actors of color, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities, focusing on global cooperation against a common threat rather than explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
Pacific Rim: Uprising does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses entirely on the sci-fi action, Jaeger pilots, and the Kaiju threat, with no elements related to queer identity present in the film's plot or character arcs.
Pacific Rim: Uprising does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative centers on a sci-fi action plot involving giant robots and monsters, with no elements related to transgender identity present in the story or character arcs.
The film's combat primarily involves large-scale Jaegers fighting Kaiju or other Jaegers. No significant female characters are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat, such as hand-to-hand or melee weapon fights, against one or more male opponents.
Pacific Rim: Uprising is a direct sequel where returning characters maintain their original gender. New protagonists are original to this installment and are not gender-swapped versions of previously established characters from the franchise.
The film is a direct sequel to Pacific Rim (2013). All returning characters maintain their original race, and new characters introduced in Uprising do not have prior established racial identities to be swapped from.
