Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film focuses on apolitical themes of survival and resistance against an existential threat, without explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies from either side.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

Terminator Salvation features a visibly diverse supporting cast, but it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative primarily focuses on the human-machine war, portraying traditional identities in neutral or positive heroic roles without explicit critique or central DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Terminator Salvation does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's focus is exclusively on the human resistance against machines, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the narrative.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features female characters like Kate Connor and Star, but neither engages in direct physical combat against male opponents. Kate Connor primarily uses firearms for defense, and Star is a child survivor. No female character is depicted winning a close-quarters physical fight against one or more male adversaries.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Terminator Salvation introduces new characters and continues the stories of established ones like John Connor and Kyle Reese. All returning or legacy characters maintain their canonically established genders, and new characters do not count as gender swaps.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

All established legacy characters in Terminator Salvation, such as John Connor and Kyle Reese, maintain their previously depicted race. New characters introduced in this installment do not qualify as race swaps.
