Leans Right

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central focus on personal grief, supernatural phenomena, and the limits of human understanding places it firmly in apolitical territory, as it does not promote or critique specific political ideologies.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white main and supporting cast, consistent with its rural West Virginia setting. The narrative focuses on supernatural mystery and personal grief, without engaging in explicit DEI themes or offering any critique of traditional identities.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The Mothman Prophecies does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The story is solely centered on a supernatural mystery and the protagonist's personal journey, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity within the film's scope.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film adapts a non-fiction book, introducing new fictional characters and altering events. The protagonist remains male, consistent with the author. While a female sheriff is featured, she is an original character created for the film, not a gender-swapped version of a specific male character from the source material.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film is based on a non-fiction book and features characters, including the protagonist John Klein (based on John Keel), whose on-screen portrayals align with their historical or implied racial background. No established character was depicted as a different race.
