The Verdict
A conventional blockbuster sequel that's essentially clean on identity messaging. The only mild note is Carina Smyth, a competent female lead mocked as a 'witch' for her science, but this is character drama rather than a girlboss lecture and the men remain central. No swaps, no LGBTQ+ content, no preaching — this scores low across the board.
What the AI Flagged
Each axis scored 0–100, with the receipts. The headline score weights the worst offense, so a single egregious element isn't diluted by the rest.
Identity Swaps
0All-new original characters; no established character is race- or gender-swapped.
Girlboss & Male Demotion
25Carina Smyth is a smart, capable female lead repeatedly underestimated as a 'witch,' but the film doesn't push an anti-male message and Jack/Barbossa remain central.
- Carina is a skilled astronomer/horologist dismissed by superstitious men
- She corrects men who call her a witch
LGBTQ+ / Trans / Non-Binary Content
0No LGBTQ+, trans, or non-binary content present.
DEI Casting
10Cast fits the period adventure setting; no diversity inserted against lore.
Preachiness
10A standard swashbuckling adventure with no sermonizing or activist messaging.
Anti-Masculinity / Anti-West
10No framing of masculinity or the West as inherently villainous; the antagonists are ghost pirates.
Source Betrayal
5Based on a theme park ride/franchise; continues the established style with no identity-driven rewrites.
