Center
Primary
The film leans left by presenting a central conflict where government agencies are the primary antagonists persecuting 'othered' mutant babies, thereby emphasizing themes of societal intolerance and the protection of marginalized groups against state power.
The movie features traditional casting with no apparent intentional race or gender swaps for diversity. Its narrative primarily focuses on the horror premise without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
It Lives Again, a horror film about mutant babies and the ethical dilemmas they present, does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on the horror and societal reaction to the monstrous offspring, resulting in no LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This film is a direct sequel introducing new characters and continuing the narrative from its predecessor. No established characters from the prior film or other source material are portrayed with a different gender.
This film is a sequel to an original horror story, not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established character races or a historical biopic. No characters were canonically established as one race in prior source material or history and then portrayed as a different race.
