Jean-Claude Van Johnson largely plays it straight with its action-comedy narrative, focusing on self-parody and genre tropes rather than pushing identity-based storytelling. It doesn't seem to emphasize identity traits over character or story; Van Damme remains front and center, and diverse characters are treated as individuals rather than symbols.

Traditional masculinity, nostalgia, and action-movie tropes are more lampooned than attacked. If anything, the show affectionately pokes fun at Van Damme's legacy rather than undermining cultural pillars. There's little evidence of religion, family, or morality being mocked, most humor comes from absurd situations, not ideological subversion.

The show doesn't carry much ideological baggage. While it favors irreverent humor, there’s no clear attempt to mock or erase traditional perspectives. Alternative worldviews aren’t villainized; the tone is mostly playful rather than preachy, with emphasis on parodying Hollywood more than pushing modern moral consensus.
