Leans Traditional
Primary
The film champions an individualistic, extra-legal solution to a severe problem, portraying official institutions as ineffective and highlighting themes of self-reliance and the necessity of extreme measures for justice.
The movie features a predominantly traditional cast for its central roles, without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative frames traditional identities neutrally or positively, with the white male protagonist portrayed heroically, and does not center on DEI themes.
Secondary
The series features Santana, a former special forces operative, who consistently engages in and wins physical confrontations against male opponents using hand-to-hand combat and tactical skills during various missions.
The television series 'Taken' (2017-2018), a prequel to the film franchise, focuses on the origin story of Bryan Mills as a CIA operative. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present within the narrative, leading to a determination of N/A for its portrayal.
The television series 'Taken' (2017-2018), a prequel to the film franchise, focuses on Bryan Mills' early career in intelligence. The narrative does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or explore themes related to transsexual identity, resulting in no depiction.
