'Unknown Origins' largely lets its narrative drive the film, focusing more on its detective plot and geek culture references rather than jamming in identity politics. The characters get some quirky backstories from comic book fandom, but don't seem chosen purely for demographic checkboxes. It's a breath of fresh air compared to typical woke-heavy scripts, though there's minor nodding to diversity.

The film doesn't aggressively undermine traditional values. Masculinity is neither demonized nor cartoonish, and themes around family are present rather than mocked. Any subversions are tongue-in-cheek comic book fun, not pointed cultural revisionism. For once, the nuclear family and classic hero tropes aren’t trashed or rewritten for ideology.

Alternative worldviews get fair treatment. There’s geek culture banter, but nothing that suggests a strict party line about modern identity politics. The film’s focus remains on detective work and comic book in-jokes, with characters allowed individual viewpoints without anyone being turned into a simplistic villain for disagreeing.
