Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
Abbott and Costello Go to Mars is rated 0 (Neutral/Centrist) because its central subject matter is primarily slapstick comedy and accidental space travel, lacking any explicit political thesis or engagement with contemporary ideological debates.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white cast and male protagonists, consistent with its era. The narrative frames these traditional identities positively, and while it includes an all-female society, this element is used for comedic effect rather than as a central DEI critique.
Secondary
Abbott and Costello Go to Mars does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film is a mid-20th-century slapstick comedy, and its plot, humor, and character interactions do not touch upon queer identities or experiences, resulting in no depiction.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is an original production featuring the established comedy duo Abbott and Costello. It does not adapt characters from prior source material or historical records where their gender was different, nor does it feature legacy characters from other franchises reimagined with a different gender.
This film is an original story from 1953, not an adaptation of prior source material or a historical biopic. Therefore, no characters had a pre-established race that could be altered.
