Detailed Bias Analysis

Center

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

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.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

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.

Secondary

LGBTQ: NegativeConfidence: Medium

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.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

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.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

All returning characters in Kingsman: The Golden Circle maintain their established gender from the previous installment. New characters introduced in this film do not constitute gender swaps as per the definition.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Kingsman: The Golden Circle is a sequel where returning characters maintain their established race. New characters introduced in this installment do not have a pre-established race from prior canon, thus not meeting the definition of a race swap.
