What We Think

Clerks II is about as non-woke as modern comedies get. While irreverent, it doesn't push ideological messages or prioritize identity politics over character and story. Its primary allegiance is to comedy, not social engineering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Clerks II focuses on character-driven humor, slacker culture, and irreverent dialogue. Characters are fleshed out primarily by personality, not identity. No apparent forced representation or virtue signaling, just the typical misadventures of Kevin Smith's universe.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film features crude humor and mocks various topics, but doesn't attack traditional family, religion, or masculinity. Any subversion is rooted in comedy rather than ideology. It riffs on pop culture and relationships without obvious cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Clerks II is more focused on lampooning everyone and everything. There's no clear ideological party line, characters are flawed, and topics are up for debate or ridicule. The film satirizes modern culture but gives voice to multiple perspectives, albeit in a comedic light.
