The film's left-leaning rating is primarily driven by its powerful allegory for racism and speciesism, alongside its strong critique of human self-destruction through war and the suppression of scientific truth by dogmatic power structures.
The film features a largely traditional cast without explicit DEI-driven recasting. Its narrative explores themes of power dynamics and prejudice through an allegorical conflict between species, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional human identities.
The film 'Battle for the Planet of the Apes' (1973) does not feature any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on the societal structure of apes and their conflict with humans, without addressing sexual orientation or gender identity.
The show primarily features male characters in combat roles. Female characters, such as Nova and Zira, are depicted in supportive or scientific capacities and do not engage in direct physical combat against male opponents. No instances of female characters defeating male opponents in close-quarters physical combat are present.
The 1974 'Planet of the Apes' TV series primarily introduced new characters, such as astronauts Virdon and Burke, and ape characters like Galen and Urko. While Dr. Zaius appears, his gender remains consistent with prior portrayals. No established characters from the source material or previous installments had their gender changed.
The 1974 TV series introduced new human protagonists who had no prior established race. The ape characters, while portrayed by human actors, are not subject to the definition of a 'race swap' as they are a different species, not a human race.
