Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Ant-Man (2015) retains strong narrative focus, centering on Scott Lang’s journey, redemption, and family. Character backgrounds and casting choices stick to source material without overtly pushing identity themes over merit or story. The film largely avoids modern ideological diversions, keeping its priorities on fun, heist-style storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Family is front and center, with Scott Lang’s father-daughter relationship driving the plot. Masculinity, morality, and duty are treated earnestly, and the film doesn't go out of its way to undermine traditional values. There is some gentle ribbing toward paternal failings, but nothing egregious or subversive.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t vilified, villains are evil because of greed or corporate overreach, not ideology. No overt political sermonizing or modern identity group lectures. The world feels organic, not like a checklist for current-year issues. There's plenty of old-fashioned, lighthearted fun.
