Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: Medium

While the film's premise involves a dominant human society persecuting supernatural minorities, its narrative primarily focuses on individual survival, violent resistance, and personal vengeance, rather than promoting a specific political ideology or offering a nuanced societal critique of the underlying conflict.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The film features visible diversity in its supporting cast, but without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on the ongoing conflict between its supernatural factions and the protagonist's personal journey, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or centering explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

FemPower: YesConfidence: High

The film features Selene, a vampire, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male opponents, including human guards and Lycans. Her victories are achieved through martial skill, enhanced physical abilities, and melee weapons.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Underworld: Awakening does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on the ongoing war between vampires and lycans, and the protagonist Selene's personal journey within this conflict, with no elements related to queer identity.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Underworld: Awakening introduces new characters and continues the story of established ones. All returning characters maintain their canonical gender from previous installments, and no new characters are gender-swapped from any prior source material.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Underworld: Awakening is a direct sequel in an established film series. All returning characters maintain their original racial portrayals, and new characters introduced in this installment do not constitute race swaps from prior canon.
