What We Think

Frank Miller’s 300 is about as non-woke as they come: it’s a testosterone-drenched riff on ancient heroism, exalting tradition, sacrifice, and masculinity. For anyone tired of forced representation and ideological meddling, this one is a breath of smoky, spear-wielding air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

There's no ideological shoehorning here, 300 sticks to classic, hyper-masculine storytelling. Identity traits don't override narrative or character development; it's all about grit, honor, and action. This book marches to the beat of its own phalanx.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

If anything, 300 verges on celebrating traditional masculine virtues, with hefty admiration for warrior culture, loyalty, and heroism. Family and cultural heritage are honored, and the story relishes Spartan tradition rather than subverting it.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While focused on a single worldview, Spartan, warlike, and resolutely traditional, the book doesn’t villainize dissenters through a modern ideological lens. It sticks to its own mythic style, largely avoiding contemporary didacticism.
