The film strongly critiques a US President's callous disregard for human life, particularly drug users, and condemns the ruthless capitalist exploitation by the main villain, aligning with progressive concerns about power and social justice.
The movie features visible diversity, particularly with the introduction of the American Statesman agents, but it does not engage in explicit recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a largely traditional framing, celebrating its predominantly white male protagonists without critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to the plot.
The film includes a bisexual character whose sexuality is instrumentalized for a problematic, non-consensual act played for crude humor. This depiction lacks dignity and complexity, contributing to a net negative portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.
The film features female characters such as Roxy Morton, Ginger Ale, Princess Tilde, Poppy Adams, and Clara Von Gluckfberg. None of these characters engage in or win direct physical combat against one or more male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts. Clara Von Gluckfberg, a villain, uses a robotic arm but is ultimately defeated by a male protagonist.
