Traditional
Primary
The film's classic Western genre and its focus on individual heroes restoring law and order against threats to the community align its dominant themes with conservative values of self-reliance and decisive action.
This 1932 Western adheres to traditional casting practices prevalent in its era, featuring a predominantly white cast without explicit diversity initiatives. The narrative frames traditional identities in a neutral to positive light, consistent with the genre and period, and does not incorporate explicit DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The film "Riders of the Dark" is a 1937 Western and does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film features a female character who disguises herself as a man within the story. This scenario is explicitly excluded from the definition of a gender swap, as the character's canonical gender remains unchanged.
There is no widely established canonical or historical information indicating that any character in the source material for "Riders of the Dark" was of a different race than portrayed in the 1928 film. Therefore, no race swap occurred.
