What We Think

Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III - The Advent is about as far from woke as you’ll find in modern adaptations, brutal, authentic, and unconcerned with ideological fashion. Viewers seeking drama untainted by Hollywood identity quotas will be right at home.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film remains extremely faithful to the original dark fantasy manga, retaining complex characters whose traits and fates are tied to narrative needs, not ticking identity boxes. No notable instances of forced representation or emphasis on identity over character depth.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Berserk delves into mature themes, including faith, ambition, and masculinity, but does so in a gritty, traditional manner, hardly flattering to any ideology. If anything, it sticks to its brutal medieval roots, showing both the good and the ugly without cultural revisionism or heavy-handed subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s worldview is unapologetically harsh and pluralistic. There’s nothing resembling modern ideological monoculture; it’s a bleak, morally ambiguous tale with conflict at every turn. Diversity of motives, not modern politics, drives the story.
