Strong Left

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central themes revolve around universal values such as friendship, teamwork, and self-worth, and its conflict is a classic good-versus-evil cartoon narrative, consciously avoiding any explicit political commentary or ideological leanings.

Diversity: HighConfidence: High

The movie demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit recasting of traditionally white Hanna-Barbera characters, such as Dee Dee Skyes and Captain Caveman, with minority voice actors and updated character designs. While the film incorporates a diverse supporting cast, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes within its core plot.

Secondary

Gender Swap: YesConfidence: High

The mantle of Blue Falcon, a character canonically established as male in the source material, is taken up by Dee Dee Skyes, a female character, in this film.

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

Dee Dee Sykes, a character originally depicted as white in the source material "Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels," is portrayed as Black in "Scoob!".

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film "Scoob!" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features female characters such as Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Dee Dee Sykes. While Dee Dee Sykes participates in action sequences, her victories are primarily achieved through the use of gadgets and teamwork against robotic opponents, rather than direct physical combat against male characters.
