Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central conflict revolves around stopping a supernatural ancient evil, which is an inherently apolitical premise. Its themes of heroism and family are universal adventure tropes rather than explicit political statements, leading to a neutral rating.

Diversity: LowConfidence: Medium

The movie features a predominantly traditional cast for its heroic leads, with diverse casting for culturally specific roles that align with the film's setting rather than explicit DEI-driven recasting. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities and does not incorporate explicit DEI critiques or themes as central to its story.

Secondary

FemPower: YesConfidence: High

The film features Evelyn Carnahan O'Connell, a non-superpowered character, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents using martial arts and melee weapons.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The Mummy Returns does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and adventure, with no elements that could be interpreted as depicting queer identity or experiences.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The Mummy Returns is a direct sequel to The Mummy (1999), continuing the story with the same established characters. No characters who were canonically or widely established as one gender in the prior film or source material are portrayed as a different gender.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

All major characters in "The Mummy Returns" maintain the same race as established in the prior installment, "The Mummy" (1999). New characters introduced in this film, such as the Scorpion King, are original creations and thus do not constitute a race swap.
