What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

This is a media-franchise tie-in, but the available evidence does not show sustained product placement or direct pressure to buy merchandise.

Death of a character1/5
Why this rating?

Supernatural beings may be defeated or destroyed, but human death and grief do not appear to be central.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Some mild language or name-calling may occur, but strong profanity and slurs are not indicated.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

Supernatural and occult ideas may appear, but organized religious practice does not seem prominent.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

Dating or romantic tension appears in secondary storylines, without romance being the main focus.
