Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around protecting indigenous people and their environment from resource exploitation, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values and resulting in a left-leaning rating.
The movie features a diverse cast, including a Native American protagonist and various alien species, which were integral to the original character designs. The narrative primarily focuses on themes of justice and environmental protection, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering on DEI themes in a critical manner.
Secondary
BraveStarr, an animated series from the late 1980s, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on sci-fi western adventures, justice, and environmental protection, consistent with children's programming of its era which typically did not address such topics.
The show features Judge J.B. McBride, a capable female character who participates in action scenes. However, her victories against male opponents are primarily achieved through the use of her blaster or the enhanced strength of her cybernetic arm, which falls under technological superiority rather than skill-based close-quarters physical combat.
BraveStarr is an original animated series from 1987, meaning its characters were created for this specific production. There is no prior source material, historical record, or previous installment from which character genders could have been swapped.
BraveStarr (1987) is an original animated series, not an adaptation or reboot of pre-existing characters. The characters' races are established within this show, meaning there is no prior canon from which a race swap could occur.
