What We Think

Attack on Titan (2015) is refreshingly non-woke for Hollywood’s current climate. While adaptation choices may irk purists, there’s little of the standard identity-focused meddling or agenda-driven storytelling that plagues many modern films.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s some deviation from the anime and manga, but identity politics or forced diversity barely factor in here. Most casting and characterizations serve the narrative, not ideology, and there's little evidence that the film values identity markers over character skill or personality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional Japanese themes, sacrifice, family, and community, are present, and the film doesn’t really undermine religion, masculinity, or traditional roles. While the adaptation introduces some changes, they’re more for drama than for ideological purposes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The story doesn’t take jabs at traditional perspectives nor does it villainize dissenters. Most conflict comes from survival and power, not identity politics. Any ideological content present is limited and subtle, certainly not a monoculture by today's standards.
