Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film's narrative strongly critiques colonial legacies and inherited power structures, culminating in the displacement of a people who must redefine their identity beyond a physical homeland, aligning with progressive themes of anti-imperialism and humanitarianism.

The movie demonstrates significant diversity through explicit racial recasting of traditionally white roles, most notably with the character of Valkyrie. While the narrative subtly critiques historical power structures and challenges the protagonist's established identity, it does not explicitly frame traditional identities negatively as a central theme.

Secondary

The film features Valkyrie, who uses her sword and martial arts to defeat multiple male Sakaaran guards in close-quarters combat. Additionally, Hela, with her superhuman strength and manifested blades, physically overpowers and defeats numerous male Asgardian soldiers during her conquest of Asgard.

Valkyrie, a character traditionally depicted as white in Marvel Comics, is portrayed by a Black actress. Additionally, Heimdall, traditionally white in source material, is portrayed by a Black actor.

Thor: Ragnarok does not explicitly depict any LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. While a character's bisexuality was intended and confirmed by creators, it was not shown on screen. Consequently, the film offers no direct portrayal of queer identity.

Thor: Ragnarok does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Therefore, its net impact on the portrayal of transsexual identity is not applicable, as there is no depiction to evaluate.

All major characters in Thor: Ragnarok, including Thor, Loki, Hulk, Hela, and Valkyrie, maintain their established genders from Marvel Comics or Norse mythology. No character canonically or historically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the film.
