Primary
The series focuses on universal themes of survival, family, and exploration, balancing individual responsibility and ingenuity with the necessity of cooperation and ethical decision-making, without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through explicit racial and gender recasting of several traditionally white or male roles, including a Black actress for Judy Robinson and a female Dr. Smith. However, the narrative itself maintains a neutral stance, not explicitly critiquing traditional identities but rather focusing on themes of survival and exploration.
Secondary
Lost in Space features a positive and affirming portrayal of a lesbian relationship between main character Judy Robinson and Ava Sharma. Their partnership is depicted with dignity and normalcy, integrated naturally into the narrative without being a source of conflict or prejudice, thereby validating queer identity.
The character of Dr. Zachary Smith, originally a male antagonist in the 1965 series, is portrayed as a female character in the 2018 reboot, fitting the definition of a gender swap.
Judy Robinson, a character portrayed as white in the original 1965 series, is played by a Black actress in the 2018 adaptation. This constitutes a race swap for a legacy character.
The show's female characters, including Maureen, Judy, and Penny Robinson, primarily contribute through their intellect, leadership, and resourcefulness in survival situations. They do not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents using skill, strength, or martial arts.
