Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film leans right by championing a traditional, elite secret service and individual heroism as the solution to a global threat, ultimately preserving the established order through decisive, often violent, action rather than promoting systemic change or progressive ideals.
The movie features primarily traditional casting with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, celebrating a modernized version of classic gentlemanly ideals without critical portrayal of white or male characters.
Secondary
The film features Gazelle, a highly skilled assassin who utilizes blade prosthetics as an extension of her physical combat style. She defeats a male Kingsman agent in direct physical combat and physically dominates the protagonist in a subsequent melee encounter.
The film adapts characters from "The Secret Service" comic series. Key characters such as Gazelle and Lancelot, who were established as male in the source material, are portrayed as female in the film adaptation.
Richmond Valentine, the primary antagonist, was depicted as a white character in the original comic book series but is portrayed by a Black actor in the film adaptation.
The film features a highly satirical, yet overwhelmingly negative, portrayal of an extremist Christian hate group. This group is depicted as bigoted, violent, and deserving of the villain's 'culling,' with no counterbalancing positive representation of the faith.
Kingsman: The Secret Service does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on its spy action and comedic elements without engaging with queer identity in any capacity, resulting in no direct LGBTQ+ portrayal.
Kingsman: The Secret Service does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on espionage, action, and satire without engaging with gender identity topics.
