Orion and the Dark

Representation / casting choices

Diverse voices for abstract fantasy night entities; no audience-visible forced diversity, swaps, or signaling in the story world.

Political / ideological dialogue

No activist or political lines; only personal/existential talks about fear and death.

Identity-driven story themes

Purely personal anxiety and growth narrative; zero race, gender, or identity plotlines.

Institutional / cultural critique

Humanistic worldview with no religious elements noted in reviews, but no modern activist critique of patriarchy, capitalism, whiteness, or Western institutions.
