What We Think

Blades of Glory is fundamentally a goofy comedy unconcerned with modern woke trends. Its humor targets everyone equally, and it doesn’t elevate or diminish any identity group for ideological reasons. If there’s any woke presence here, you’ll have to squint pretty hard to find it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Blades of Glory centers mostly on comedic antics and sports rivalry, not identity politics. The main characters' gender or race are not highlighted as part of any ideological push. The story unfolds primarily for entertainment, with classic underdog and redemption arcs, rather than forced representation or overemphasis on social issues.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at figure skating stereotypes, masculinity, and rivalries, but these are handled with slapstick humor rather than a campaign to undermine traditional values. While there’s some gentle parody of macho culture, the satire is even-handed and not a critique of family, faith, or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Blades of Glory is pretty apolitical and inclusive as far as who can laugh at what; it doesn’t bash traditional views or present only one worldview. The absurdity is universal, not ideological. No group is overtly villainized for their beliefs, with most characters acting out of personal quirks or ambition, not social agendas.
