The film consciously balances competing viewpoints by critiquing the romanticized brutality of the American West and traditional masculinity, while ultimately championing an individual's journey of overcoming fear and finding personal belonging, rather than promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features traditional casting with a predominantly white ensemble, consistent with the Western genre, and does not appear to incorporate intentional race or gender swaps for DEI purposes. Its narrative focuses on comedic parody of the Old West's harsh realities rather than offering explicit critiques of traditional identities or centering on DEI themes.
The film features a brief, problematic comedic scene that relies on a transphobic/homophobic trope for humor. This depiction uses a cross-dressing character for a cheap laugh, contributing to a negative overall portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes without any counterbalancing positive elements.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
