Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Left
Primary
The film's core conflict revolves around self-discovery, teamwork, and overcoming personal insecurities, which are broadly humanistic and apolitical themes. While it features elements like empathy and individual responsibility, these are balanced and do not explicitly align with a dominant left or right political ideology.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its casting, featuring a diverse main ensemble of avatars, including a biracial actor in the central heroic role. However, its narrative primarily focuses on character development and comedic situations arising from body-swapping, without explicitly critiquing or negatively portraying traditional identities.
Secondary
The film features Ruby Roundhouse, an avatar controlled by Martha, who is a highly skilled martial artist. She repeatedly engages in and wins direct physical confrontations against multiple male opponents using her combat skills and agility.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The gender-swap element for one character serves as a comedic plot device for character development rather than an exploration of queer identity, resulting in no direct LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film features new avatar characters created for the video game world, not pre-existing characters from prior Jumanji canon. While the plot involves characters inhabiting bodies of different genders, none of these avatars represent a gender swap of a previously established character.
The primary characters in "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" are new creations for this film, both as high school students and their game avatars. There are no pre-existing characters from prior Jumanji installments or source material whose race was changed.
