Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with right-leaning values by portraying government and military elites as ineffective and championing individual heroism as the primary solution to global threats, despite featuring a progressive symbol in the presidency.
The film demonstrates a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion through its casting, featuring minority and female leaders in high-ranking political and military roles, which aligns with contemporary social movements for equity. While this representation is prominent, the narrative itself does not explicitly portray traditional identities negatively.
Secondary
The film portrays the LGBTQ community through an affirming, queer-coded depiction of the USS Ohio submarine crew. Interactions are playful and flirtatious, with homoerotic undertones in scenes like Ethan Hunt's combat in briefs and Bledsoe's flirty rapport. This creates a positive queer ambiance through subtext rather than explicit narrative, foregrounding queer male camaraderie.
The film portrays female characters, specifically military officers, as highly competent and physically capable. They are shown engaging in direct physical combat and matching or defeating male opponents, highlighting their strength and skill in action sequences.
Based on available information, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning does not feature any transsexual characters or directly portray the transsexual community within its narrative. Discussions focus on action and character dynamics, with no mention of trans content or themes. Therefore, the film has no identifiable transgender characters or themes present.
The film introduces new, strong female characters in prominent roles, including the U.S. President and a main cast member. These characters are original to this installment and are not gender-swapped versions of pre-existing male characters from the franchise or other source material.
The film introduces President Sloane, a new character portrayed by Angela Bassett. As a new, original character created for this installment, there is no prior established racial baseline for her to be considered a 'race swap.'
