The film lacks any depiction of non-cisnormative identities or same-sex intimacy. Character dynamics focus strictly on traditional masculine mentorship and fraternal bonds.

The narrative operates within a rigid patriarchal framework. Female characters are marginalized or absent, leaving leadership and decisive action to male protagonists.

Casting is predominantly homogeneous, reflecting a Western, Anglo-Saxon lens. There is no evidence of diverse ethnic groups or color-blind casting.

The film explores moral complexity through Long John Silver's charismatic ambiguity. However, it remains anchored in traditional Western adventure values and capitalist pursuits.

Long John Silver’s loss of a leg is central to his identity. He maintains significant agency and competence, avoiding being treated as a mere plot device.
