Leans Traditional
Primary
Beware! The Blob receives a neutral rating because its central conflict, an alien monster consuming a town, is fundamentally apolitical, focusing on a straightforward sci-fi horror premise without promoting specific ideological viewpoints or critiquing societal structures.
This 1972 horror film features traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps. Its narrative centers on a creature threat, with no explicit critique of traditional identities or central DEI themes.
Secondary
Beware! The Blob does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The plot is solely centered on a sci-fi horror premise involving a monstrous blob, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences. Therefore, the film has no net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is a sequel to "The Blob" (1958). While some characters from the original film return, their genders remain consistent with their prior portrayals. All other significant characters are new creations for this installment, not gender-swapped versions of established figures.
This film is a sequel featuring new main characters, none of whom are established characters from prior installments or source material whose race has been changed. The titular creature has no race.
