The film lacks any evidence of LGBTQ+ characters or non-cisnormative identities. It follows a standard creature-feature framework without addressing heteronormativity.

While the central creature is female, her agency is tied to the 'monstrous feminine' trope of biological instinct. The scientific team roles reflect the male-dominated genre norms of the 1970s.

The Mexican setting provides geographic context, but the film's treatment of local populations remains unclear. It risks framing the location through a colonialist lens common to the era.

The narrative centers on Western empirical knowledge through a scientific expedition trope. This often prioritizes outside scientific entities over local ecosystems or cultural perspectives.

There is no indication of characters with physical, sensory, or neurodivergent disabilities. No such identities are portrayed with agency or central to the plot.
