The film's dominant themes align with left-leaning values through its pervasive satirical critique of traditional religious and moral authority, especially concerning sexuality, and its overall anti-establishment sensibility.
The movie showcases visible diversity through its unconventional female protagonists, a Black LGBTQ+ coded character, and flamboyant male angels. Its narrative employs satire to explicitly critique traditional gender and sexual norms, societal hypocrisy, and media portrayals of women and marginalized groups.
The series portrays LGBTQ+ related themes through its characteristic irreverent, raunchy, and exaggerated comedic style, consistent with its approach to all characters. It features queer-coded elements and expands gender expression with new male angels in transformation sequences, but does not focus on LGBTQ+ identity as a central theme, using parody and camp aesthetics rather than realistic representation or social commentary.
The series features female characters Panty, Stocking, and Gunsmith Bitch who engage in direct physical combat and melee weapon fights against male opponents. These characters are shown to be victorious in multiple such encounters.
The film portrays Christian-themed elements (angels, Heaven, Hell, church figures) in a highly irreverent, vulgar, and comedic manner. It consistently depicts its angelic protagonists and religious figures as morally questionable, hypocritical, and driven by base desires, using satire to subvert traditional religious piety and reinforce a negative, albeit comedic, view of these archetypes.
Main characters Panty and Stocking maintain their established genders from the original series. New characters are introduced without any gender discrepancies from their initial portrayal, thus no gender swaps occur.
The report details character depictions and voice actor ethnicities, but does not indicate any character's on-screen visual race has changed from their established portrayal in the source material. All characters' depicted races appear consistent.
