Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Center

Primary

The film presents a morally ambiguous world where both criminals and law enforcement engage in manipulative and destructive behavior, focusing on an individual's struggle for survival rather than promoting a specific political ideology or offering a societal solution.

The movie features a cast that primarily reflects a traditional demographic, focusing on a white Australian criminal family without intentional race or gender-swapped roles. Its narrative critiques the specific criminal subculture and toxic family dynamics rather than broadly challenging traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

Animal Kingdom offers a largely positive portrayal through Deran Cody's complex arc. His long-term relationship with Adrian is depicted with depth and genuine affection, navigating the challenges of a criminal family and societal pressures. While obstacles are significant, the show consistently validates Deran's identity and his love, framing external forces as the source of conflict rather than his sexuality itself.

The television series 'Animal Kingdom' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or significant themes related to transsexuality within its narrative. The story primarily focuses on the Cody family's criminal activities and internal dynamics, without engaging with transgender identities or experiences.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The television series "Animal Kingdom" is an adaptation of the 2010 Australian film. All primary characters, including the Cody family members and their associates, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material. No character canonically established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender in the show.

The main characters in the TV series "Animal Kingdom" are direct adaptations of the 2010 Australian film's characters. All core family members retain the same race as their film counterparts, with no instances of a character established as one race being portrayed as another.
