The film's central conflict revolves around stopping a tyrannical ancient emperor, a universally apolitical adventure trope, with the narrative focusing on family unity and heroism rather than specific political ideologies or societal critiques.
The movie features a diverse cast primarily due to its setting in China, with the main heroic family being white. The narrative maintains a positive portrayal of traditional identities and does not explicitly critique them, focusing instead on an adventure plot involving ancient Chinese mythology.
The film features Lin, a skilled martial artist and sorceress, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents, including terracotta soldiers and human adversaries. Her victories involve both martial arts and some magical abilities.
The film does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on the heterosexual relationships of the O'Connell family and their adventures, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity.
All established legacy characters maintain their original gender. New characters introduced in this installment do not constitute gender swaps as per the definition.
The film introduces new characters of East Asian descent, consistent with its setting in ancient China. The returning legacy characters maintain their established racial portrayals from previous installments. No character established as one race in prior canon or history is depicted as a different race.
