What We Think

Deep Blue Sea 2 offers the usual B-movie fun with minimal woke trappings. Any diverse casting feels incidental rather than agenda-driven, so viewers looking for old-school monster movie chaos can watch without rolling their eyes at heavy-handed messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Deep Blue Sea 2 sticks mostly to standard creature feature tropes, with characters driven more by shark antics than identity issues. While the protagonist is a black female scientist, her presence generally fits within the genre's conventions and isn't overtly highlighted for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There’s little to suggest the film undermines traditional values. While the lead challenges some old-school action hero stereotypes, the portrayal isn’t heavy-handed, and there’s no overt denigration of religion, family, or masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t much explored, but the film doesn’t lean into caricaturing dissenting attitudes either. It mainly keeps its focus on sci-fi action and survival rather than ideological preaching.
