What We Think

“DC League of Super-Pets” lands close to the safe center, lightly woke with its diverse line-up and gentle renovation of superhero values, but doesn’t aggressively undermine tradition enough to merit a very high woke score.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While “DC League of Super-Pets” tosses in a diverse cast of animal heroes, the focus is mostly on fun and adventure rather than shoehorning in overt ideology. Still, one could say the film sometimes treats representation as a checkbox, but the lighthearted, comedic format keeps it from becoming too heavy-handed.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

There are nods to found family and teamwork, and masculine leads aren’t outright mocked. Still, some jokes play off the idea that traditional hero tropes are outdated. The film isn’t aggressively subversive, but it tips its hat to modern norms more than classic ones.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Most of the film’s moral lessons fit safely into Hollywood’s current mold, with little room for alternative viewpoints. Dissenters are mostly depicted as selfish or in need of guidance, but nothing egregiously villainous. It keeps things safe and sanitized.
