Center
Primary
The series is rated neutral due to its overwhelmingly apolitical focus on universal themes of family dynamics, personal responsibility, and the challenges of balancing secret superhero identities with a desire for a normal suburban life, without engaging in ideological discourse.
The movie features visible diversity within its main cast, including Latino actors in prominent family roles. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not explicitly center on DEI themes or critiques.
Secondary
The Thundermans, a Nickelodeon live-action sitcom, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The show primarily focuses on a superhero family's adventures and challenges, with no explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ representation.
The show features female characters with superpowers, such as Phoebe Thunderman and Nora Thunderman, who engage in conflicts. However, their victories against male opponents are consistently achieved through the use of their supernatural abilities (e.g., telekinesis, laser vision) rather than through direct physical combat skills or strength.
The Thundermans is an original series that introduced its own set of characters. There are no pre-existing source materials, historical figures, or prior installments from which characters' genders could have been swapped.
