Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film is rated as neutral because its central conflict revolves around universal themes of good versus evil and the struggle against tyranny within a mythological framework, rather than explicitly promoting modern progressive or conservative ideologies. The solution involves restoring a traditional, benevolent order, which is an apolitical trope.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie primarily features traditional casting, with a notable absence of diverse representation for its ancient Egyptian setting. Its narrative focuses on a conventional fantasy adventure without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

The film portrays characters from ancient Egyptian mythology, who were historically non-white, predominantly with white actors. This casting choice constitutes a race swap.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'Gods of Egypt' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate, leading to an N/A rating for its net impact on LGBTQ+ representation.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features several female characters, including Zaya and Hathor. However, none of these characters engage in or win close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Their roles do not involve direct physical combat victories.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film adapts Egyptian mythology, portraying well-known gods and goddesses. All major mythological figures, such as Horus, Set, Ra, and Hathor, retain their established genders from the source material. New human characters introduced in the film do not constitute gender swaps.
