President Curtis

Episode 2 gives Amelia Earhart a lesbian identity while keeping her as the only pilot able to cross the Bermuda Triangle. Episode 3 gives Curtis's ex-wife a governor's office and a werewolf reform plan, while Curtis is told to stay under her capable wings. These moments put female and queer figures in positive public roles. The season's main stories still follow monsters, secrets, and team loyalty, so identity is a side element.

The show makes the real Amelia Earhart a lesbian and places her in charge of flights through the Bermuda Triangle. That adds an identity trait to a real historical figure. President Curtis keeps the same race and basic role he had in Rick and Morty, and no other identity rewrite is clear in the reviewed episodes. The Earhart change is brief and does not drive the season.

Small X accounts called the series a “woke fever dream,” said reviews liked Curtis “just because he’s black,” or grouped it with “angry black” programming. Another sarcastic post claimed Adult Swim made it to address white supremacy and show diversity. A few right-leaning viewers asked whether it was mocking “woke shit” or said it had not gone too woke to hate. The reaction had little reach, and broader coverage showed no organized anti-woke campaign.

Dan Harmon has a supplied 32/100 score tied to past discussion of gay representation problems on Community and his public apology about sexism and sexual harassment. James Siciliano has a supplied 0/100 score and no clear identity-politics pattern. The supplied director and producer records are mostly mainstream animation records with low scores and no broad activist pattern. The background is a mild signal, while title interviews frame this show as absurd political comedy rather than a diversity project.
