Center
Primary
The film explores complex moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding justice, power, and human survival without explicitly endorsing a particular political ideology, instead offering a nuanced critique of various approaches and their consequences, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast without any intentional race or gender swaps of established characters. Its narrative explores themes of power and morality through these characters but does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features Laurie Jupiter (Silk Spectre II) who, despite not possessing superpowers, demonstrates significant skill and strength in hand-to-hand combat. She is shown defeating multiple male opponents in physical altercations.
The film 'Watchmen' does not feature any explicitly identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While the graphic novel source material includes a queer relationship for Hooded Justice, the movie adaptation largely omits or heavily downplays this aspect, making it unidentifiable within the film's narrative for a general audience.
The 2009 film "Watchmen" faithfully adapts the comic book source material, with all major characters retaining their established canonical gender. No instances of gender swapping are present.
The 2009 film adaptation of Watchmen faithfully portrays the established races of its core characters as depicted in the original comic book series. No characters canonically established as one race were portrayed as a different race.
