Leans Progressive
Primary
The film champions traditional values of honor, loyalty, and individual responsibility as Snake Eyes finds purpose within a structured, morally clear organization, aligning with conservative-leaning themes without explicit political commentary.
The movie exhibits significant diversity, equity, and inclusion primarily through its casting decisions, most notably the recasting of the iconic, traditionally white lead character, Snake Eyes, with an Asian actor, alongside other diverse character portrayals. While the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities, the intentional casting choices are a prominent feature.
Secondary
The film features multiple female characters, including Akiko, The Baroness, and Scarlett, who are highly skilled in martial arts and melee combat. They are repeatedly shown to be victorious in direct physical confrontations against multiple male opponents throughout the movie.
Snake Eyes, a character traditionally depicted as a white American in G.I. Joe lore, is portrayed by Henry Golding (Malaysian-British). Additionally, Blind Master, canonically Japanese, is played by Peter Mensah (Black).
The film 'Snake Eyes' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on the protagonist's origin story and his relationships, which are presented without any queer representation, resulting in no net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film "Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the origin story of its titular character within the G.I. Joe universe, without engaging with transgender identity or related issues.
The film adapts established G.I. Joe characters like Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlett, and Baroness, all of whom retain their canonical genders. No pre-existing character with an established gender was portrayed as a different gender.
