NetflixDetailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes a critique of unchecked corporate power, hyper-capitalism, and systemic exploitation, which are core tenets of progressive ideology. The narrative consistently highlights the oppressive nature of the system, leading to a clearly left-leaning bias.
The movie showcases a visibly diverse cast, with characters from various ethnic backgrounds naturally integrated into its dystopian setting. The narrative focuses on themes of corporate greed and survival within a brutal system, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its primary conflict.
Secondary
The show features Lucy, a highly skilled netrunner and combatant, who frequently engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents using her monowire and agile movements.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners does not feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes as central to its narrative or character development. The primary focus is on the struggles and relationships of its main cast within the dystopian setting of Night City, without exploring queer identities or experiences.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners introduces a new cast of characters for its original story within the Cyberpunk universe. The few returning characters from the source material maintain their established genders. No characters canonically established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners features original characters created for the series. Pre-existing characters from the Cyberpunk universe are depicted consistently with their established appearances and backgrounds, with no instances of a character's race being changed from prior canon.
