The film is left-leaning due to its central emotional and moral condemnation of animal cruelty and eugenics, advocating for the inherent value of all life and the importance of compassion and acceptance for the vulnerable and 'imperfect'.
The film features a visually diverse cast primarily due to its alien characters, rather than explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white human roles. Its narrative explores universal themes of the value of life and overcoming trauma, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
The film features a very brief, background depiction of a same-sex couple among the Ravagers. This incidental portrayal is not central to the plot and offers neither significant affirmation nor negative representation, resulting in a neutral overall impact.
The film features female characters, Gamora and Nebula, who repeatedly engage in and win close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, utilizing martial arts, melee weapons, and enhanced physical strength.
Cosmo the Spacedog, a character established as male in Marvel Comics, is portrayed as female in the film, including in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3'. This constitutes a gender swap.
The High Evolutionary, a character canonically established as white in Marvel Comics, is portrayed by a Black actor in the film.
