Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Leans Progressive

Primary

The film is rated Left-Leaning because its dominant themes allegorically critique prejudice, religious dogma, and the dangers of unchecked power, aligning with progressive values concerning social justice and critical examination of established institutions.

The film features traditional casting with no explicit race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative offers a broad social commentary on human nature and societal flaws, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on specific DEI themes.

Secondary

The film 'Battle for the Planet of the Apes' (1973) does not feature any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the societal structure of apes and their conflict with humans, without addressing sexual orientation or gender identity.

The 1974 'Planet of the Apes' television series does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on human astronauts in an ape-dominated future, exploring themes of survival, prejudice, and social commentary without addressing transgender identity.

The show primarily features male characters in combat roles. Female characters, such as Nova and Zira, are depicted in supportive or scientific capacities and do not engage in direct physical combat against male opponents. No instances of female characters defeating male opponents in close-quarters physical combat are present.

The 1974 'Planet of the Apes' TV series primarily introduced new characters, such as astronauts Virdon and Burke, and ape characters like Galen and Urko. While Dr. Zaius appears, his gender remains consistent with prior portrayals. No established characters from the source material or previous installments had their gender changed.

The 1974 TV series introduced new human protagonists who had no prior established race. The ape characters, while portrayed by human actors, are not subject to the definition of a 'race swap' as they are a different species, not a human race.
