Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central narrative critiques unchecked overconsumption and its devastating environmental consequences, advocating for responsible use of technology and community well-being over excess.

The movie features a visibly diverse cast in supporting roles, though these are original characters rather than explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative includes a critique of a traditional power figure through his greed, but this critique is character-driven rather than explicitly centered on broader DEI themes.

Secondary

The film "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" (ImdbID tt4123482) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on scientific adventure and food-animal hybrids, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or experiences. Therefore, the net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.

The show does not feature any scenes where a female character engages in and wins direct physical combat against one or more male opponents using hand-to-hand techniques, martial arts, or melee weapons. Female characters primarily contribute through intellect and problem-solving rather than physical confrontation.

The animated series "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" (2017) is a prequel to the 2009 film. All major characters from the established canon, such as Flint Lockwood, Sam Sparks, and Tim Lockwood, retain their original genders in this adaptation. No character established as one gender in prior installments is portrayed as a different gender.

The 2017 animated series is a prequel to the 2009 film. All major characters, such as Flint Lockwood, Sam Sparks, and Earl Devereaux, maintain their established racial depictions from the original film, with no changes in their race.
