Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central focus on individual moral responsibility and the universal struggle between good and evil positions it as neutral, as these themes are apolitical and do not align predominantly with either left or right ideologies.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The film features primarily traditional casting, with its main roles filled by white actors consistent with the source material. Its narrative focuses on classic superhero themes of power and responsibility, without critically portraying traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the story.

Secondary

The film 'Spider-Man' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative and character arcs are entirely focused on heterosexual relationships and traditional superhero tropes, resulting in no depiction of queer identity.
