Primary
Big Bad BeetleBorgs is a children's superhero series focused on classic good vs. evil narratives, teamwork, and personal responsibility. Its themes are universally positive and lack any discernible political leanings.
The movie features visible diversity within its main cast, including a Black male character among the heroes. Its narrative, however, maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not explicitly critique them or center DEI themes, aligning with its genre as a children's superhero adventure.
Secondary
The show features Jo McCormick, who transforms into the Blue Stinger BeetleBorg. In this form, she consistently participates in and wins physical fights against male monsters and their henchmen, employing martial arts and her melee weapon.
Big Bad BeetleBorgs, a children's superhero series, does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on three children who gain powers and fight monsters, without addressing queer identity or experiences.
Big Bad BeetleBorgs is an adaptation of Japanese tokusatsu series. The main BeetleBorg characters' genders align with their counterparts in the source material, with no established male characters becoming female or vice-versa.
Big Bad BeetleBorgs is an American adaptation that created its own original human characters, rather than directly adapting or recasting pre-existing characters from a prior canon with established racial identities. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
