Center
Primary
Tulsa King leans right due to its central narrative championing individual initiative and self-reliance, as its protagonist builds a new empire through a pragmatic disregard for conventional rules and often embodies a traditionalist worldview in contrast to modern society.
The series features a visibly diverse supporting cast, but its central narrative revolves around a traditionally cast white male protagonist whose identity is framed neutrally or positively. The story does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
Tulsa King features Tyson, a gay character, who is portrayed with dignity and agency as a loyal and competent member of Dwight's crew. His sexuality is normalized and respectfully integrated into the narrative, without being a source of mockery or conflict, contributing to a validating depiction.
The show explores the complex relationship characters, particularly Dwight, have with their nominal Christian faith, often highlighting hypocrisy or the struggle for redemption. While some characters act contrary to Christian teachings, the narrative does not condemn the faith itself, and some find positive paths through it, presenting a nuanced rather than negative view.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Tulsa King is an original series with no prior source material, historical figures, or previous adaptations. All characters are newly created for the show, meaning there are no pre-established canonical genders to be swapped.
Tulsa King is an original series with characters created specifically for the show. There is no prior source material (books, comics, or historical figures) from which characters' races could have been established and subsequently changed. Therefore, no race swaps are present.
