Leans Traditional
Primary
While the film critiques tyranny, its solution champions the restoration of a rightful, hereditary monarchy and the individual's destiny within that framework, subtly aligning with traditional order and individual responsibility.
The movie features visible diversity in its casting, including a prominent role for a Native American actor. However, its narrative primarily focuses on a traditional fantasy adventure without explicitly critiquing or centering themes related to traditional identities.
Secondary
The miniseries includes an incidental depiction of a same-sex relationship involving the antagonist, Azkadellia, shown in a flashback. This portrayal is brief and serves to add complexity to her character's past rather than offering a strong positive or negative commentary on LGBTQ+ identity. The presence is acknowledged but not central to the narrative's themes or overall message.
The show features female characters such as DG and Azkadellia. DG primarily relies on her wits and the assistance of her companions, while Azkadellia's power is magical. There are no clear instances where a female character is depicted as victorious in close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts.
The miniseries reimagines characters from 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' but all major characters retain their canonical gender from the source material. No established character's gender was changed.
The miniseries reimagines classic Oz characters, but the core human-equivalent roles, such as DG (Dorothy), Cain (Tin Man), and Glitch (Scarecrow), are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the original characters' established depictions. No instances of a race swap were identified.
