Leans Progressive
Primary
The series predominantly critiques a powerful, secretive, and authoritarian military organization (CRM) that sacrifices ethical principles for its perceived greater good, aligning with left-leaning themes of anti-authoritarianism and systemic critique through the lens of youth rebellion.
The series features a visibly diverse main cast, including characters of various racial backgrounds and an openly gay character. The narrative primarily focuses on themes of survival and coming-of-age in a post-apocalyptic world, rather than explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its core message.
Secondary
The Walking Dead: World Beyond features multiple LGBTQ+ characters, including prominent gay couples like Felix and Will, and Percy and Elton. Their relationships are depicted with dignity, complexity, and as sources of strength and love. While characters face challenges and tragedies inherent to the apocalyptic setting, their queer identities are consistently affirmed and not presented as the cause of their suffering or as problematic.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond introduces an entirely new cast of characters original to the series. There are no instances of established characters from prior Walking Dead canon or source material having their gender changed.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond features a new cast of characters created for the series. The few returning characters maintain their original racial portrayals from previous installments of The Walking Dead universe. No established characters were depicted by actors of a different race.
