Center
Primary
The film primarily focuses on an individual's journey to overcome personal struggles and achieve greatness through talent and perseverance. While it features a woman excelling in a male-dominated field, the narrative emphasizes individual merit and personal responsibility rather than systemic critiques or explicit political messaging, leading to a neutral rating.
The series features visible diversity within its cast, including a prominent Black character, though it does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative primarily focuses on a female protagonist's journey in a male-dominated field, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The Queen's Gambit does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily focuses on the protagonist's journey in chess, her personal struggles, and heterosexual relationships, resulting in no depiction of queer identity within the series.
The Queen's Gambit does not include any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The story centers on Beth Harmon's journey in the world of chess, her personal struggles, and relationships, without touching upon transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Queen's Gambit is an adaptation of Walter Tevis's 1983 novel. All significant characters, including protagonist Beth Harmon, maintain the same gender as established in the original source material.
The series is an adaptation of a novel where character races were either consistent with their on-screen portrayal or not explicitly defined in a way that would constitute a race swap. No characters established as one race in the source material were portrayed as a different race.
