The film's central conflict of good versus evil, resolved through a classic hero's journey and the upholding of an ancient order, relies on archetypal fantasy tropes that lack a strong, inherent political valence in the mainstream US context.
Seventh Son features a largely traditional cast with no explicit race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, with no significant critique or explicit DEI themes central to its fantasy storyline.
Seventh Son does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a standard fantasy adventure without incorporating queer identities or experiences, resulting in no portrayal to evaluate.
The film features powerful female characters who engage in combat, but their victories against male opponents are consistently achieved through the use of magic, transformations, or other supernatural abilities, rather than through non-superpowered physical skill, strength, or martial arts.
The film "Seventh Son" adapts "The Spook's Apprentice" novel. All major characters, including Tom Ward, John Gregory, Alice, and Mother Malkin, retain their established genders from the source material in the movie adaptation.
