The narrative follows a traditional conflict between a hero and a scientific antagonist. There is no evidence of non-cisnormative identities or critiques of heteronormativity.

Dr. Frankenstein serves as a powerful female antagonist with significant scientific agency. However, her intellect is framed through the 'mad scientist' trope, positioning her as an obstacle to male heroism.

The film disrupts Eurocentric horror norms by centering El Santo, a Mexican icon. This provides high agency to a non-white lead in a genre historically dominated by Western perspectives.

The story focuses on scientific ethics and the pursuit of vitality rather than religious dogma. It provides a non-Western cultural framework for the science fiction genre.

The film does not feature characters navigating physical or neurodivergent disabilities.
