Atlas leans heavily into casting and character decisions rooted in modern identity themes, making bold choices that can appear prioritizing representation over deeper character exploration. The protagonist, portrayed as exceptionally capable with few flaws or setbacks, fits what some viewers might view as the typical 'no room for growth' modern hero. Narrative tension and organic character development take a backseat to showcasing ideology-driven diversity.

Traditionally masculine roles are notably minimized or treated as outdated, while the lead's journey centers on virtue-signaling critiques of authority and established norms. Religious or familial themes are essentially absent, and when present, portrayed with a skeptical, mocking edge. Atlas seems more interested in reshaping old archetypes than grounding itself in legacy cultural values.

Alternative worldviews barely get a cameo, and when they do, they’re often outdated stereotypes ripe for ridicule or quick moral defeat. The film clearly sides with prevailing progressive attitudes, granting little airtime to any genuine internal debate or ideological tension. Everyone in this cinematic universe is on the same 'right side of history,' apparently by default.
