R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned

The film presents a strictly heterosexual world with no visible LGBTQ+ characters or relationships. There is no queer subtext or narrative arcs, reflecting a complete absence of inclusion or deviation from traditional sexual norms.

Roy Pulsipher embodies a stoic masculine archetype, while Jeanne d’Arc serves as a supportive foil rather than an equal plot driver. Female characters lack a significant role in driving the story, reinforcing traditional gender roles and secondary capacities.

The cast is predominantly white with limited diversity. Supporting roles for non-white actors, such as Jake Choi, carry little narrative weight or ability to act, resulting in shallowly inclusive representation without meaningful cross-racial development.

The narrative upholds traditional Western values and frames afterlife law enforcement as inherently righteous. It reinforces the status quo without critiquing systemic power structures or offering progressive cultural alternatives.

No prominent characters with visible or invisible disabilities appear in the film. The story does not utilize disability as a plot device, resulting in a neutral score due to the absence of both mockery and meaningful inclusion.
