Leans Progressive
Primary
The film embodies mainstream, centrist American values by portraying a heroic CIA dedicated to national security and emphasizing family reconciliation, consciously avoiding explicit partisan politics or ideological critique.
The series features visible diversity in its cast, including a prominent role for Monica Barbaro, and has shown appeal to diverse audiences. However, its narrative primarily focuses on a family dynamic within a CIA operation without explicitly centering on DEI themes, social commentary, or critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
FUBAR features Roo, a lesbian action hero, providing a positive and empowering portrayal. Her character is strong, capable, and central to the narrative, challenging stereotypes and bringing queer visibility into a mainstream action-comedy. The depiction is affirming, highlighting her identity with dignity and agency.
The series features Emma Brunner, a CIA agent, who consistently defeats male opponents in direct physical combat. She utilizes hand-to-hand fighting, martial arts, and melee weapons to win her confrontations, both solo and as part of a team, demonstrating her combat effectiveness.
FUBAR (2023) does not include identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The film's LGBTQ+ representation focuses on lesbian characters, with no mention or indication of transsexual portrayal in its plot or character descriptions.
FUBAR is an original Netflix series with no pre-existing source material or established characters. All characters and their genders were created specifically for the show, meaning no character could have a previously established gender to be swapped.
Analysis of major characters in FUBAR indicates that casting aligns with or does not contradict any explicitly established racial backgrounds. Characters whose race was not specified in source material are excluded from the definition of a race swap.
