The film's central conflict and its resolution focus on universal human emotions and the power of collective belief to overcome negativity, rather than promoting specific political ideologies or systemic critiques.
Ghostbusters II features visible diversity in its main cast with the inclusion of a Black actor in a prominent role. However, the film's narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center around DEI themes, maintaining a largely traditional framing in its storytelling.
Ghostbusters II does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely devoid of content related to queer identity, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The film does not feature any female characters engaging in direct physical combat against male opponents. Female characters like Dana Barrett and Janine Melnitz do not participate in close-quarters fights or martial arts against men.
Ghostbusters II is a direct sequel featuring the original cast reprising their established roles. No character from the previous installment or source material has their gender changed in this film.
All primary characters in Ghostbusters II are portrayed by the same actors who established their roles and respective races in the original 1984 film. No new or returning characters experienced a change in race from their established canon.
