Center
Primary
Shark Week primarily focuses on educating and entertaining audiences about sharks and marine life, balancing themes of conservation and scientific discovery with sensationalism, thus avoiding a dominant political stance.
The series features visible diversity among its experts and hosts, reflecting a contemporary approach to representation in factual programming. Its narrative, however, remains focused on marine science and adventure, without engaging in social commentary or critical portrayals of traditional identities.
Secondary
Shark Week is a long-running nature documentary series dedicated to sharks and marine biology. Its content is exclusively focused on scientific exploration and wildlife, and as such, it does not feature any human characters or storylines that would involve LGBTQ+ themes or portrayals.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Shark Week is a documentary series focusing on real sharks and the scientists who study them. It does not feature fictional characters or adaptations of source material that would allow for a gender swap.
Shark Week is a documentary series featuring real scientists, researchers, and hosts, not fictional characters or historical figures adapted from source material. Therefore, the concept of a 'race swap' does not apply.
