Center
Primary
Highlander is fundamentally an apolitical fantasy action film. Its central conflict revolves around a mystical battle between immortals, and its resolution emphasizes individual destiny and heroism within this fantastical framework, rather than promoting any specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white main cast and no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative does not critique traditional identities, nor does it center around or explicitly promote DEI themes.
Secondary
The show features several female Immortal characters, such as Amanda Darieux, who are skilled sword fighters. These characters frequently engage in and win close-quarters physical combat against male Immortal opponents.
The 'Highlander' TV series does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative primarily centers on heterosexual relationships and the struggles of immortal warriors, leaving no basis for evaluating a portrayal.
The "Highlander" TV series primarily introduces new characters and storylines, rather than adapting existing characters from the original film with different genders. No established canonical characters from prior installments or source material are portrayed with a different gender.
The Highlander TV series primarily introduced new characters. Existing legacy characters from the film who appeared maintained their original racial portrayals, and no new character was a race-swapped version of a previously established character.
