The film focuses heavily on casting an almost entirely Black ensemble in a historical Wild West setting, prioritizing representation over period accuracy or realism. Numerous characters feel elevated more for identity than for nuanced narrative fit, and there's a sense that stylistic choices are made to address contemporary themes rather than deepen the story or character development.

Traditional Western themes like masculinity and family are reinterpreted through a modern lens, with classic archetypes deconstructed and occasionally mocked. The film sidesteps conventional moral frameworks and historical realities for a stylized, revisionist approach designed to resonate more with present-day ideology than authenticity.

Alternative perspectives to the film’s worldview are virtually non-existent here. There's little diversity of thought presented; dissenting ideas or more traditional values are left unexplored or dismissed. The movie leans strongly into one vision, modern, progressive, without real debate or pluralism.
