The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of adventure, romance, and character-driven conflict, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology. While it explores the tension between individual freedom and societal order, it balances these elements without a clear endorsement of one political stance.
The movie features traditional casting without explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on adventure themes rather than explicit critiques of traditional power structures or identities.

No other female character is depicted winning a direct physical fight against a male opponent.
The film introduces its own original characters, not adapting or rebooting pre-existing characters with established genders. Therefore, no instances of gender swapping occur.
The film's main characters were original creations for this movie adaptation of a theme park ride, which did not feature established characters with defined races. Therefore, no pre-existing character's race was altered.
