What We Think

Captain America: Civil War lands as one of the last non-woke blockbusters from Marvel. The focus remains on compelling storylines and ideological conflict without shoehorning in modern identity politics. A breath of fresh air compared to what would follow.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Captain America: Civil War focuses primarily on character-driven conflict and the ideological split between Iron Man and Captain America. While there is some increasing diversity in the team, the narrative largely avoids forcing identity politics over storytelling and keeps the main focus on plot and established character arcs.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film shows respect for individualism, friendship, and classic heroism. Masculinity and traditional values aren’t mocked but are instead central to the conflict. There’s little to no cultural revisionism or agenda-driven subversion of these themes, an increasingly rare sight in modern superhero movies.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Civil War presents serious moral debate between two perspectives (government oversight versus personal responsibility). It doesn’t frame either Tony or Steve as fully right or wrong, which lets real ideological pluralism shine for once.
