Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a supernatural apocalypse and humanity's fight for survival, framed within a theological and existential context rather than a political one. Its themes of faith, redemption, and individual heroism are universal and do not explicitly align with or promote a specific political ideology.
The series 'Legion' features some visible diversity within its ensemble cast, but its primary focus is on the psychological journey of its protagonist. The narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes, maintaining a neutral to positive framing of these identities.
Secondary
Legion features the character Lenny Busker, who identifies as female while in a male body and engages in a lesbian relationship. The show portrays this gender-fluid and lesbian identity with complexity and dignity, integrating it naturally into the surreal narrative without negative stereotypes or making it a source of conflict.
The show features Kerry Loudermilk, a physically enhanced mutant, who frequently engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents, including armed soldiers, using martial arts and melee weapons.
The character Lenny Busker, a minor male character in the Marvel Comics source material, is portrayed as a prominent female character in the show, primarily by Aubrey Plaza.
The show primarily features original characters or portrays established comic book characters, such as David Haller and Charles Xavier, with actors matching their canonical race. The Shadow King's original form is also depicted consistent with his comic book race, with other forms being possessions rather than direct race swaps.
