The film's central conflict explores personal identity, the nature of family (chosen versus biological), and the dangers of unchecked power, which are largely apolitical and universally resonant themes rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, including various alien characters portrayed by actors from different backgrounds. Its narrative explores themes of family and identity without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its core message.
The film features Nebula, a cybernetically enhanced character, who engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male Ravager crew members. Her victories are achieved through direct physical engagement and strength.
