Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left due to its central critique of environmental exploitation and resource depletion by an oppressive, deceptive alien power, aligning with progressive concerns about unchecked exploitation and authoritarian control.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, notably with a prominent Black actor, but does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a traditional framing, portraying its white male protagonist heroically without critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
Oblivion does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual relationships and identity within a post-apocalyptic science fiction setting, with no elements pertaining to queer identity or experiences.
The film features female characters such as Julia Rusakova and Victoria Olsen. However, neither character engages in or wins close-quarters physical combat against male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts. Their roles do not involve such direct confrontations.
Oblivion is an original story, not an adaptation of a pre-existing work with established characters of a different gender. All characters were created for this specific film and its graphic novel precursor, with their on-screen gender matching their original conception. Therefore, no gender swaps are present.
Oblivion is an original science fiction film with characters created for this specific narrative. There are no pre-existing canonical or historical racial baselines for its characters from prior source material or real-world history, thus precluding a race swap.
