The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or non-heteronormative identities. Relationships focus on the platonic bond between male leads and Agent J's connection to his father.

Agent O provides a competent example of female leadership within the agency. However, the core action and character arcs remain centered on masculine-coded heroics.

Agent J provides strong representation as a Black lead with high systemic agency. The diverse alien species also serve as metaphors for multiculturalism.

The story functions as a defense of the status quo, reinforcing institutional order. It avoids critiquing Western structures, presenting the agency as a stabilizing force.

Non-human characters feature varied physiologies, but these function as aesthetic genre elements. There is little exploration of disability as a meaningful human experience.
