Center
Primary
The series primarily focuses on action and horror elements, depicting a literal fight against a predatory vampire society. While it contains themes of oppressive power and individual struggle, it does not explicitly promote a specific political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The series features a diverse cast, consistent with the established racial identity of its lead character from the source material. The narrative primarily focuses on action and supernatural conflict, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
The series features multiple female characters, including Chase and Charlotte, who are depicted engaging in and winning direct physical combat against one or more male opponents. These victories are achieved through martial arts, melee weapons, or inherent vampire strength and speed.
Blade: The Series does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The show focuses exclusively on its core premise of vampire hunting and related supernatural elements, without incorporating queer identities or storylines.
Blade: The Series does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The show's narrative is centered on the protagonist Blade's fight against vampires and supernatural threats, with no elements related to transgender identity.
Blade: The Series introduces new characters and maintains the established gender of its titular protagonist, Blade, who remains male. No existing characters from the source comics or prior films are portrayed with a different gender.
The main character, Blade, who is canonically Black in the comics and previous films, is portrayed by a Black actor in the series. Other significant characters appear to be original to the series, thus not subject to race swap criteria.
