Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly promotes progressive ideology by centering its narrative on a strong critique of patriarchal and religious authoritarianism, depicting resistance and revolution against these oppressive systems.
The movie incorporates a racially diverse cast and features strong female characters in central roles, aligning with some contemporary diversity trends. However, its narrative does not deeply engage with broader DEI themes, systemic inequality, or explicit critiques of traditional identities, with character development and world-building noted as lacking depth in these areas.
Secondary
The film features Gray Alys, a sorceress, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Her victories are achieved through a combination of melee weapon skills, hand-to-hand techniques, and magical abilities, demonstrating her superior combat prowess.
The film portrays a distorted, authoritarian Christian church as a violent, corrupt, and oppressive institution. It uses Christian symbols while depicting actions far from traditional spirituality, presenting a dark caricature aligned with political power.
Based on available information, In the Lost Lands does not portray the LGBTQ+ community in any explicit or thematic way. The narrative centers on fantasy elements and power struggles, with no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present in the plot or character interactions.
Based on available information, the main characters in *In the Lost Lands* (2025), such as Gray Alys, Boyce, The Queen, and The Overlord, retain their established canonical genders from the source material. No sources indicate any gender-swapped characters in the adaptation.
The film adapts a fantasy short story where the race of major characters is not specified in the source material. Therefore, casting actors of diverse racial backgrounds does not constitute a race swap, as there was no established race to change from.
