Center
Primary
The film's comedic satire targets general government bureaucracy and incompetence rather than specific political ideologies, while ultimately affirming the necessity of intelligence agencies and individual heroism in protecting national security. This balance results in a neutral political stance.
The movie features some visible diversity in its supporting cast, but it does not explicitly recast traditionally white main roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, without centering on or critiquing them through a DEI lens.
Secondary
The film features Agent 99, a highly skilled secret agent, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male adversaries, demonstrating proficiency in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat.
The film 'Get Smart' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in an N/A rating for its net impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
The 2008 film adaptation of "Get Smart" maintains the established genders of its core characters from the original television series, such as Maxwell Smart (Agent 86), Agent 99, and The Chief. No canonical characters were portrayed as a different gender.
The 2008 film "Get Smart" adapts the original 1960s television series. Key characters like Maxwell Smart, Agent 99, and The Chief, who were established as white in the source material, are portrayed by white actors in the movie. No instances of a character canonically established as one race being portrayed as a different race were identified.
