Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Center
Primary
The film explores humanity's self-destructive tendencies and the futility of altering a predetermined future, focusing more on psychological and philosophical themes of fate and perception rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or solution.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of time travel and an apocalyptic future, and does not include explicit critiques or negative portrayals of traditional identities.
Secondary
The character of the lead scientist, a key figure responsible for time travel, was male in the original 1995 film but is portrayed as Dr. Katarina Jones, a female character, in the 2015 series.
The film "12 Monkeys" does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is entirely centered on a dystopian future, time travel, and a viral outbreak, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The television series "12 Monkeys" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on time travel, a deadly plague, and paradoxes, without engaging with transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2015 TV series "12 Monkeys" adapts characters from the 1995 film. Key characters like James Cole, Dr. Railly, and Jennifer Goines (gender-swapped from Jeffrey) maintain the same racial portrayal as their film counterparts. No established character's race was changed.
