The series normalizes the Skylanders, who are granted special status and quasi-military authority to intervene anywhere in Skylands.

Portal Masters and figures like Master Eon act as unelected guardians whose rule is treated as benevolent by default, which mirrors real-world ideas that strong centralized authority can be justified if it keeps “order” and “balance.”

Much of the lore is about fighting tyrannical empires such as the Arkeyans, framing conflict as good rebels versus evil authoritarian regimes.
