Center
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a universal good-versus-evil narrative, where a team of heroes defends innocent planets from an oppressive empire. Its themes of courage, teamwork, and defense against external tyranny do not explicitly align with either progressive or conservative political ideologies, resulting in a neutral bias rating.
The animated series features a cast and character design typical of mainstream 1980s animation, without explicit efforts to diversify traditional roles. Its narrative focuses on a straightforward heroic conflict, portraying traditional identities in a positive light without incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The 1984 "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" adapted characters from the Japanese anime "Beast King GoLion." The original GoLion pilots were visually depicted as East Asian, while their Voltron counterparts (e.g., Keith, Lance, Hunk, Pidge) were portrayed as white in the American adaptation, constituting a race swap from the source material.

The animated series "Voltron: Defender of the Universe" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on space exploration and combat, with no elements related to gender identity or transgender experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
