Primary
The film's central conflict, a superhero protecting the world from alien threats, is largely apolitical. The narrative champions individual heroism and responsibility without explicitly promoting either progressive or conservative ideologies, leading to a neutral rating.
The animated series features a core cast with established traditional appearances, and while there is visible diversity among supporting characters and aliens, no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles are evident. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities, focusing on general themes of heroism and understanding differences rather than explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The 2016 'Ben 10' reboot features Kevin Levin's parents as a same-sex couple. Their relationship is depicted as a normal family dynamic, neither highlighted nor denigrated. The portrayal is incidental, presenting queer identity without strong positive or negative narrative arcs, thus resulting in a neutral net impact.
The show primarily features Gwen Tennyson as a significant female character who participates in combat. However, her victories against male opponents are predominantly achieved through the use of her Anodite (mana) powers, which involve energy projection, shields, and telekinetic manipulation, rather than direct close-quarters physical combat or martial arts.
The 2016 "Ben 10" reboot maintains the established genders of its core characters, such as Ben Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, and Grandpa Max, from previous iterations of the franchise. No significant characters underwent a gender change.
The 2016 animated series "Ben 10" is a reboot of the original 2005 series. The core characters, including Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max, maintain the same racial depictions as their original counterparts, with no instances of a character established as one race being portrayed as a different race.
