Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
While critiquing the aristocratic incompetence that led to WWI, the film champions a right-leaning solution: the formation of an elite, patriotic secret service dedicated to defending national interests and maintaining order through decisive, often covert, action and individual heroism against anarchic forces.
The movie includes visible diversity within its supporting cast, featuring a prominent and capable Black character. While the narrative critiques the actions of powerful, predominantly white male figures responsible for instigating war, it does not explicitly frame traditional identities negatively. The film also presents a capable female character who challenges conventional gender roles of the era.
Secondary
The film features Rasputin, a villain whose sexually fluid and predatory nature is explicitly linked to his grotesque and manipulative character. This depiction reinforces harmful stereotypes of queer-coded villains, presenting identity as a source of depravity without any affirming counterpoints, resulting in a net negative portrayal.
The film features Polly Wilkins, a key member of the early Kingsman organization, who successfully engages in and wins multiple close-quarters physical fights against male opponents using martial arts and melee weapons.
The film portrays Christianity negatively through the character of Grigori Rasputin, a 'holy man' who uses his religious influence for manipulation, debauchery, and political machinations. The narrative frames him as a corrupt and dangerous figure, with no positive Christian representation to balance this depiction.
The film "The King's Man" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the origins of the Kingsman organization during World War I, without engaging with transgender identity or related issues.
The King's Man features historical figures who are portrayed with their documented genders. Original characters created for this prequel film do not have prior canonical genders to be swapped. No instances of gender swapping are present.
The film is a prequel introducing new original characters and historical figures. No established characters from prior Kingsman canon or real-world history have their race changed from their original depiction.
